Aerated Confectionery Market Industry Shares, Market Strategies And Key Players

Aerated confectionery can be defined as aerated gel products that contain a combination of majorly sugar, carbohydrates and various types of glucose syrups, stabilizing agents, whipping agents, colors, and flavors. Aeration of confectioneries leads to an increase in volume, reduction in density, higher stability, decrease in stickiness & cold flow, and reduced sweetness. It lessens the product texture and makes the product less satiating while improving flavor and overall appeal. It also assists in the modification of the texture and organoleptic characteristics of the confectionery products. Aeration levels and textures in aerated confectionery products vary from product to product. Aeration of confectionery products is performed either by chemical aeration or mechanical aeration.

The aeration process in completed using aerating agents such as hydrolyzed proteins, intact proteins and saponin that are dissolved to become active. Stabilizers used in the aeration process include gelatin and whipping agents. Gelatin plays the role on foaming agent, stabilizer and binder in aerated confectioneries that give the confectionery creamy and chewy textures. Similarly the whipping agent increases aeration and amends texture of the product. There are various aerated confectionery products present in the market, some of the leading products include gelatin marshmallows, cereal treat bars, and deposited non-grained marshmallows.
