Toffees (Soft Chews)
Toffees or soft chews are suited to galenic forms where supplementary substances can be easily blended in. The end consumer enjoys the pleasant consistency of toffees which can be chewed or sucked. Combined with sweeteners and a pleasant taste, they make the intake of dietary supplements and medicines a pleasure.
The texture of the toffee varies according to the recipe: relatively brittle, hard or pliable. Formulas are mostly sugar-based on sucrose and liquid glucose, whilst sugar-free recipes use isomalt and maltitol. Disch can advise on the form, recipe and packaging of your toffees – depending on the active ingredient and its application.
