Confectionery

The art of making confections.

Sweets are the most honest thing we make. Nobody tolerates a disappointing one, and nobody has to be taught what a good one tastes like.

A library of profiles, and the freedom to leave it

KGN Chemicals is a leading supplier of standard and custom confectionery flavour solutions. Confectionery is the art of making confections, and we create flavours to enhance confectionery products like baked goods, hard boiled candies, chewing gum, jellies, toffees, caramels and chocolates.

Every profile is developed in our own flavour house in Gauteng by qualified flavourists, and made to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 22000:2005 standards, Halaal certified. If what you want is not in the library, we build it.

  • Baked goods
  • Hard boiled candies
  • Chewing gum
  • Jellies & gummies
  • Toffees
  • Caramels
  • Chocolates
  • Marshmallow & nougat

Sugar is a process, not just an ingredient

A boiled sweet takes its flavour to 150 °C and holds it there; a gum has to release over minutes rather than seconds; a chocolate carries flavour in fat, so nothing water-soluble behaves the way you expect. The same strawberry is four different formulations across those four products.

That is the part worth bringing to us early. Tell us how it is made and we will build the profile around the process, rather than handing you something that tastes right in a beaker and disappears on the line.
