Liquorice is one of the most popular forms of confectionery


The unmistakable taste of liquorice is based on Glycyrrhiza glabra root extract.

Extruded liquorice is manufactured by processing the ingredients into a thick mass before adding salmiac or other flavourings. This liquorice mass is then processed into the liquorice laces we all know by pressing the liquorice mass under pressure through an extruder.

The liquorice laces are then briefly fed through a dipping bath filled with an anti-sticking agent.

The active ingredients in Capol® anti-sticking agents form a fine coating around the laces, giving the finished product a mouth-watering glaze with ideal protection against sticking together and prolonging the product's shelf life.

Gums and jellies - Colourful, sweet and sticky

Starch gums are based on wheat, potato and maize starches that are gelatinized at high temperature and pressure during the manufacturing process.By forming a coating around each gum anti-sticking agents provide a reliable protection against sticking and moisture.

Jellies mainly consist of gelatine plus sugar, glucose and flavourings along with acidifiers and colours. This combination of ingredients means that jellies are very sticky.Oiling jellies with an anti-sticking agent prevents them from sticking together or to the packaging, whilst also giving them a beautiful shine.

Often referred to as "wine gum oils", Capol® anti-sticking agents are based on a suspension of carnauba wax, beeswax or a mix of the two in vegetable oil. They provide excellent anti-sticking properties and resistance to oxidation.

Our range of anti-sticking agents have been developed for use on deposited gums based on gelatine, pectin, starch, and similar such as in animal-shaped jellies, wine gums and gum arabic pastilles.

Some of our products are available in modified versions to give a burst of flavour when a bag of the finished product is opened.

Capol® anti-sticking agents are applied at room temperature, preferably using a dosing pump, and are suitable for processing in conventional oiling drums or coating pans.
