FORMULATION METHOD FOR LOW-SUGAR GUMMY CANDY MADE FROM MORINGA LEAVES FOR CHILDREN

Abstract

The increasing demand for low-sugar nutritional supplements for elementary school children has driven the development of safe and practical functional food innovations. This invention aims to produce gummy candies made from moringa leaves as an alternative low-sugar vitamin supplement rich in vitamins, minerals, and natural antioxidants. The formulation combines moringa leaves, agar-agar, fruit pectin, and fish gelatin with stevia and honey sweeteners, plus coconut water, lemon juice, strawberry puree, natural vitamin C, and virgin coconut oil. It is claimed to have a chewy texture, natural flavor, nutritional stability maintained through low-temperature heating, and controlled sugar content. Its benefits support children's health, endurance, and learning concentration in a practical and fun way.
