Here come the glowing gummy candies! Turmeric gives food its own luster
In early March, food and beverage giant Mondelez announced that its Sour candy brand Sour Patch Kids had launched a new product line, Glow Ups. The product was launched and immediately went viral on overseas social media because it is the brand's first innovative gummy candy that can emit fluorescence in the dark.
How the fluorescence effect of this candy is achieved？
Many people are curious about how the fluorescence effect of this candy is achieved. Will it be harmful to the human body? The secret to the Glow of Glow Ups candies lies in the specially made colorful crumbs on the surface, which use natural ingredients - turmeric extract.
This extract absorbs high-energy ultraviolet light under ultraviolet irradiation (mainly black light, UV-A band, with a wavelength of approximately 365nm), and then releases the energy in the form of visible light, forming a bright fluorescence effect.
Turmeric is a safe and healthy ingredient
Turmeric should be no stranger to everyone. It is an important ingredient in curry powder. Turmeric extract itself is odorless. Its active ingredient, curcumin, with its unique chemical structure, can produce visible fluorescence and also help with anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, and lipid metabolism regulation. It is a commonly used element in health care drugs and traditional diets.
This special element, when applied to the snack and candy category, unexpectedly created a novel experience. The luminous effect in the dark is naturally suitable for night entertainment scenarios and deeply bound to the lifestyle of young people.
Recently, AAFUD has developed "Luminous Turmeric" in response to market trends, which can make food emit light under ultraviolet light. To allow everyone to more intuitively experience the wonder of luminescence, a video was specially shot ↓
