Chemistry:Starch mogul system
 | It has been suggested that this page be merged into starch mogul. (Discuss) Proposed since January 2019. |
The starch mogul system is a method of molding candy that allows runnier materials to be used than normal processes. It is used in the manufacture of jelly beans[1] and gummy bears,[2][3] and was formerly used in the manufacture of marshmallows before the advent of the extrusion process.[4][5] The starch mogul system uses a machine with trays of starch.[6] Each tray has a mold firmly pushed down in it to create cavities in the starch. The cavities are then filled with the candy material, and allowed to cool or harden as necessary. During this time, the starch helps absorb excess water, making the candy moldings handleable.[1] Finally, the trays are dumped and the candy is separated from the starch, which is then reused by the machine.[1]
Hans Arthur Faerber, founder of NID Pty Ltd, created the current form of the starch mogul system[7] in 1952.
