Emulsifiers are crucial in achieving the right consistency and mouthfeel in gluten-free confectionary. They help mix water and oil-based ingredients, ensuring a uniform texture. Emulsifiers like lecithin and mono- and diglycerides improve the overall quality of gluten-free sweets. Traditional leavening agents like yeast and baking powder may not work as effectively in gluten-free baking owing to the absence of gluten, which provides structure and elasticity. Food technologists have developed gluten-free leavening agents that generate the necessary rise and fluffiness in baked goods. This ensures that gluten-free cakes, cookies, and pastries are not dense or flat.

Advancements in ingredient sourcing and processing have led to the creation of gluten-free flours and starches that closely mimic the functional properties of wheat flour. These gluten-free flour, such as rice flour, almond flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch, are now widely used in gluten-free confectionary recipes. To replicate the chewiness or crispness of traditional confectionary, food scientists have developed texture enhancers that provide the desired mouthfeel in gluten-free products. These enhancers help create the sensory experience consumers expect from their favorite sweets. Furthermore, quality control measures have become more sophisticated, ensuring that gluten-free confectionary products are consistently high quality. For people with celiac disease, this involves stringent batch-to-batch consistency testing and gluten contamination testing.
