Drying your gummies properly is a critical step in the gummy production process. It is of great importance to dry your finished gummies to the target water activity level to ensure their optimal food safety, stability and texture. A temperature/humidity gauge is required to monitor your drying conditions. We highly recommend using a dehumidifier (or humidifier for more arid conditions) to achieve a controlled relative humidity of 30 - 35% in your drying room, with a temperature that does not exceed 80°F. A water activity meter is also recommended if one wishes to precisely control the final water activity of the finished product for the most consistent end result.

* For greater precision and consistency, consider using a water activity meter to measure and fine-tune the final product. This allows you to reliably hit your target specifications batch after batch.

We suggest drying your gummies in a single layer on a sheet pan. Please note that drying times will vary depending on the size of your gummies, as well as the drying environment.

Gummy Size: Less than 3 grams

Estimated drying time: 3-5 hours in a drying room with a relative humidity of 30 - 35%.

Final water activity range should be between: 0.65-0.67

Gummy Size: 3-5 grams

Estimated drying time: 5-7 hours in a drying room with a relative humidity of 30 - 35%.

Final water activity range should be between: 0.65-0.67

Gummy Size: 5-7 grams

Estimated drying time: 7-9 hours in a drying room with a relative humidity of 30 - 35%.

Final water activity range should be between: 0.65-0.67

* Continue drying past 24 hours until the desired consistency and water activity level is reached.

* Please note that waxed gummies tend to take an extra day to dry.
