My set time has been like 3 minutes too with the fast set pectin from pacific pectin. Do you know anyways to draw that time out longer?

there are ā€œslow-settingā€ pectins you can look into that do work, but sometimes affect the consistency/texture of the final product. the main trigger of the gummies setting is the acid. less acid will mean a slower set but will lead to a softer gummy usually. More acid will make a more firm gummy, but set quicker

Iā€™ve found the DE of the syrup you use makes a difference too

The thicker the syrup (lower de) the faster it sets

26

really?? we havenā€™t really tried that. the DE on our corn syrup is 42 so that would make sense.
does the end product come out the same?

You can cross link pectins using a base as well

yeah maybe someone could, but we arenā€™t doing anything like this, we just make edibles :joy:

I cant remember the brine i used but i once brined bananas in an alkaline solution and then cooked em the next day and the pectins were so strongly linked that the bananas cooked to carmel with no loss of texture- made an amazing bananas foster

It was potassium carbonate,

I extracted potassium carbonate from banana peels and then brined the bananas in the salt- some food science nerd shit i was on when i was trying to work at Alinea when i was like 22.

Good times

I think this is the way of the future for large scale gummy stuff. Mixing the acid mix with gummy mix at the time of depositing
