This study explores the sustainable production of vegan Garcinia atroviridis gummies as a novel approach to functional confectionery. Garcinia atroviridis, recognized for its high hydroxycitric acid (HCA) content and associated health benefits, serves as the primary ingredient. The methodology emphasizes ethical sourcing and environmentally friendly extraction techniques to obtain HCA-rich extracts. Utilizing plant-based gelling agents such as agar-agar or pectin, the formulation eliminates animal-derived gelatin, catering to the increasing demand for vegan alternatives. Natural sweeteners like organic cane sugar or fruit juices replace artificial additives, aligning with consumer preferences for clean-label products. Additionally, eco-conscious packaging materials are selected to reduce environmental impact. This research underscores the significance of sustainability across the production chain, from sourcing to packaging, in the functional confectionery sector. The resultant vegan Garcinia atroviridis gummies offer consumers a guilt-free indulgence, coupled with potential health benefits. By integrating sustainability into product development, this study contributes to the advancement of eco-friendly practices within the confectionery industry while meeting the evolving demands of health-conscious consumers.
