What are burst beads?

Burst beads are produced by forming a liquid or gel center inside a thin, elastic shell. Instead of a chew that is uniform all the way through, the bead delivers a sudden release of flavor or active content — a format that works well for products where mouthfeel and taste experience drive repeat purchase.

Typical bead diameters range from 2 mm to 8 mm. The shell can be made with pectin, starch or alginate systems, so vegetarian and gelatin-free options are available depending on your market and label requirements.

Why brands choose burst beads

• Taste masking — oils, extracts and actives with strong flavor can be sealed inside the core
• Distinctive experience — a format consumers notice, useful for differentiating a crowded shelf
• Format flexibility — combine several colors or flavors in one pack for variety and gifting
• Portable — no water needed, easy to carry, suitable for on-the-go wellness products
• Vegetarian options — pectin and starch shell systems instead of gelatin
