Candy manufacturing

Candy manufacturing involves mixing ingredients like sugar, corn syrup, and flavorings, then heating, boiling, and cooling the mixture to achieve the desired texture. For hard candies, the syrup is boiled to a high temperature to create a hard shell when cooled. For chewy candies like caramel or taffy, ingredients like butter and milk are added, and the mixture is kneaded or pulled to develop elasticity. Molds or extruders shape the candy into various forms, which are then cooled, wrapped, and packaged for distribution. Quality control ensures consistent taste, texture, and safety throughout the process.
