This calls for a totally different type of tube.
This stops everybody from getting shit on, these can be hooked to wall suction.

Thanks iāve done a bit of product formulation here and there but gummies have always been the most illusive SKU for me. Had a bit of luck with the olā jello, corn syrup, knox recipe but shelf life is no good. I dont think ill be going down this particular rabbit hole anymore lol.

Iāve been loving the recipe they pieced out here. Making some damn fine commercial-quality gummies. No one can believe me when I tell them Iāve made them.

Increase sugar to water ratio and check your ph. Should be around 3.4 or lower for stability. Add more acidity to your formula.

If your trying to melt down gummies your going to have a bad time. Gelatin sets from a temp differential of 80 to being thrown in the fridge dont need to activate the protein like Pectin recipes(what Iām educated on)ā¦ they are cooked to 220 for a reason, the majority of the water evaporates and it creates a bond with the sugar. Cook pectin at 220-240 for 10 min plus and you will break down the protein that helps it set/form. I believe thatās how they make jams/jellies. Havenāt tried overcooking tho 
also when using pectin you will never have issues homogeniz(ing?) distillate/base oil
People trying to make gummies without lab equipment is like trying to purge butane with a regular ovenā¦ you need set temps/a stirrer and if you doing anything pectin based a heated depositor as well. The second it sets it sets.

Have you added some potassium sorbate?

Do you have a video of the actual gummies getting poured into the molds?
We have been testing alot of our competitors gummies lately, I have to say itās been shocking. That āJust CBDā gummy brand, wow, they are off all the time on their mg. Their labels dont claim a āper gummy mgā but rather the total bottle mg. Well I have yet to test a full bottle but I have had the lab test 10 gummies in one test several times across many bottles. They have been consistently off by 40% 
. We have tested for several amino acids in another brand , this is even worse. Where we expected 50mg range we got <0.017mg/g of L-Theanine. Iām starting to see why the Hemp arena is getting a bad rep. Extremely low quality control.

I have a question. I use a very similar recipe, with the addition of sorbitol and potassium sorbate. I donāt use PG. I noticed from the pics these gummies are opaque. Mine come out clear (transluscent). Today I tried a recipe similar to the other recipe, with a higher gelatin to water ratio and no commercial flavored gelatin mix, and got a similar opaque quality. I assumed that was because of the added gelatin.
My question is what does anyone think the reason might be that mine turn out clear and these are opaque. I do cook it differently. I use a pot on the stovetop instead of a microwave. I let the gelatins bloom in the water for about 10 min before adding the corn syrup and heating it up. After itās heated I add the sorbitol and citric acid and ā¦
Is it possibly due to the use of the stick blender, which I donāt use?

I had a salesperson for some water soluble system tell me yesterday that emulsions using strong surfactants occasionally cause cannabinoids to not show up in testing because they arenāt extracted properly the prep. Sounded like an absolute crock of shit to me but if itās not it could be a factor.
Not doubting there are bad actors in the CBD sector intentionally under-compounding their products but it seems like these stories are so ubiquitous that there might be another factor at play?

In my experience, encapsulated nano-emulsions have this issue if they donāt go through a quechers process during sample preparation to release the āencapsulatedā materials. Soooooā¦if they were using a method like that AND the lab that was doing the testing wasnāt using quechers. The recovery percentage would be so different than it would look like someone was scandalous.
I know whenever I get a new product to the lab I make them tell me whatās in it. Especially if they are trying to convince me that of its potency and my validated method doesnāt show good peak abundance.
Personally - I continue to think its poor math skills and lack of quality control that makes these products show up like this. General negligence from people who have never worked in a GMP space. But it could be worse I suppose, like willful mislabeling and adulteration. People do stuff like that as well, you know?

Packaging that fits the shape of your gummy seems to be a good trend. Kushy Punch, District Edibles Fireball, Margarita Chill, ect does it. cause the gummy just goes back into formation or a consumer can put it in the fridge and have it keep itās shape as opposed to gummys thrown into a bag.
