AI Technical Summary
The current production of cotton candy using animal glue presents problems such as religious taboos, allergy risks, potential disease transmission hazards, unstable quality, poor thermal stability, low production efficiency, high environmental costs, and product homogeneity. Furthermore, existing plant glue substitute technologies cannot achieve large-scale, high-quality production.
A composite plant gum system consisting of konjac gum, xanthan gum, locust bean gum, and gellan gum is used. Through precise compounding, a synergistic three-dimensional network structure is formed. Combined with specific process steps such as swelling activation, gradient whipping, segmented cooling, and aging stabilization, high-quality cotton candy is produced.
It achieves strong thermal stability, good low-temperature toughness, and excellent anti-aging properties in plant-based gum-based cotton candy, making it suitable for diverse consumer groups, with strong product diversity, environmental protection and high efficiency, and suitable for continuous industrial production.
