Confectionery Segment is Developing at a Faster Pace

The consumption of confectionery food gained prominence in the Italian hydrocolloids market. Hydrocolloids, such as xanthan gum, are used in the pastry fillings, as they prevent weeping of the water in the filling, protecting the crispness of the crust. Moreover, confectionery also provides one of the most important markets for a range of hydrocolloids. In Italy, the use of gum arabic in candies is still widespread. Italian confectioners even use the costly grade of gum arabic and acacia senegal, instead of the less costly grade of acacia seyal.
