Baker Perkins ServoGel™ starchless moulding is the cost-effective alternative to starch moguls for the production of jellies and gums, with no compromise in quality. It removes the obstacle of high purchase and running costs that has prevented people entering this lucrative market.

The ServoGel™ capability covers the production of jelly and gum fruit snack products that can be positioned as fruit substitutes, as well as the full range of conventional products. Real fruit pieces can be included within the jelly or gum, along with real fruit juice added as a centre filling or in the syrup.

This new capability creates the potential to build a higher-value product portfolio, exploiting the distinct and growing market for confectionery with all natural ingredients and functional properties. Using ServoGel™ jellies and gums can be produced in low sugar/ sugar free formats, with no more than 1% fat.

The hygienic nature of the ServoGel™ process also makes it ideal for production to validation standards for functional products.

This depositing technology brings 21st century standards of quality, convenience and hygiene to jelly and gum production, eliminating the time and cost penalty of the traditional starch process.

A full range of starch-, pectin- and gelatine-based recipes can be made, and the products benefit from enhanced shape definition and greater clarity. Striped, layered and centre filled (including liquid centre-fills) are among the possibilities, plus inclusions and intricate product shapes

The nature of the depositing process creates complete control throughout the system, leading to extremely high dimensional, shape and weight accuracy with negligible scrap rates, and maximum hygiene.

This is a complete cooking, depositing and finishing process based on continuous depositing at final solids into reusable moulds. Baker Perkins provides a total solution: recipe formulations, process technology, and equipment.

Baker Perkins provides full process support to stimulate new product development, and turn ideas into profitable end products. Customers are encouraged to visit the Baker Perkins Innovation Centre at Peterborough, where a pilot line is available.
