Our goal when developing our TicaPAN^® Coating System products was to create stabilizers that performed similarly to gum arabic in panned confections. How close did we come to replicating that functionality?

We’re glad you asked.

Total Drying Time

When confections are panned, the amount of time required for one charge to dry before the next charge can be applied is critical. Faster drying times mean better production efficiency with no added equipment or costs.

• TicaPAN 311 takes about the same amount of time to dry as gum arabic.
• TicaPAN Quick Crunch provides a 20% time savings over gum arabic.

Concentration vs. Viscosity

The viscosity of the sealing or engrossing syrup is one key to creating a candy that is uniformly coated.

• TicaPAN 311 is an exact match in viscosity over a wide range of concentrations making it a perfect 1:1 replacement for gum arabic in your panned applications.
• TicaPAN Quick Crunch is slightly higher in viscosity than gum arabic.

Replace Gum Arabic with TicaPAN Coating Systems

TicaPAN Coating Systems offer comparable or even superior functionality over gum arabic at a more effective cost and with a more stable supply.
