Fruit gum Fruit gum is generally made of few basic ingredients. And according to the composition of these ingredients fruit gums can have different shapes, colours and flavours. Today fruit gum is normally made of sugar, water, gellant, fruit acids, colourants, aromas and starch. With the help of big machines the liquid fruit gum mass is poured into many thousands of small moulds. After several days the fruit gums come loose from their moulds. The production process quite reminds us of making a delicious jelly. The gellant makes the fruit gums keep their shape. And the sweet delicacies come in a great variety of shapes: Bears, fruit, stars, cola bottles, hearts and frogs are just as possible as chilis and giant snakes. Due to the colourants fruit gums can have all the colours of the rainbow. And their flavours are just as manifold as their colour range: Fruit gums can have fruit aromas like pineapple or lemon, herbal aromas like anise or peppermint and liquorice flavour. They can be sweet, sour or even extremely sour. For those who like it hot and spicy there are even fruit gums with chili flavour. The fruit gum manufacturers imagination is endless, and fruit gum fans can choose to their heart s content. Sugar is an important ingredient of fruit gum. The mass manufacturing of fruit gum has only been made possible in the 19 th century by the newly developed production of beet sugar. Clever confectioners invented the tasty fruit gum when they mixed sugar with acacia gum, which is the natural resin of the acacia verek or the acacia seyal tree. The last German emperor, Wilhelm II, the Nobel Prize winner for physics, Albert Einstein, as well as the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Konrad Adenauer, used to treat themselves and their loved ones to this great new sweet invention. The Naschkammer offers a comprehensive fruit gum range, and there is certainly one or the other variety among it which is just right for your taste buds. 25
