The recipe for making marshmallows at home is simple. It usually takes water, sugar and gelatine – some recipes also include snow whites. To make the candy in large quantities, the process is more complex.
In the industry, confectioners mix water, sugar and corn syrup. All this is heated and given gelatin. Then, the dough is pumped into a blender that blends everything very quickly. After being cooled, the mixture is transferred to a special machine – where it is heated again and pressed. Finally, the dough passes through holes in the machine wall and becomes a rope. An automatic knife cuts everything into small cylinders. To prevent marshmallows from sticking to each other, they are all sprinkled with cornstarch.
