While at the cashier a mini market to pay for groceries, I see there are a wide variety of chocolates and candies. When holding the Ricola candy and see at the price, in my heart saying this candy expensive. One small packs up to IDR 20,000 (USD 1,5). I was curious and reverse the packaging.
Ingredient or composition of the material is not much different from Indonesian candy that is isomalt, water, natural sweetener sorbitol (90mg / serving), Menthol flavor, Ricola Herbal flavor, acidity regulator Citric Acid, artificial sweetener Aspartame (12,57mg / serving), Lemon Flavor (lemon thyme, mint), artificial sweeteners Acesulfam-K (5,77mg / serving), Ganepy flavor and Chlorophyll dye. So many added chemicals such as artificial sweeteners, flavors, acidity regulator, dye, but do not be afraid to take some candy because those chemicals are added still within the safe threshold for consumption.
When I refer to the information the manufacturer, Ricola made in Switzerland, the name of the manufacturer is Ricola LTD., 4242 Laufen, Switzerland. And the number BPOM RI ML 338612015003 which there are on front packaging indicates that this candy imported from Switzerland. ML is for outside brands. If produced domestically, its MD. Companies that import Ricola is PT Glico Indonesia Jakarta 12210. That’s why this candy more expensive than the local sweets, because the cost of shipping is more expensive, far from Switzerland.
Ricola's packaging that I bought is like a pack of cigarette, it was coated plastic as in cigarettes, this packaging is practical and easily opened and closed. Although I feel less watertight lid. If the candy packaging is not watertight, then the air will enter and water vapor in the air will be sucked by causing sugar, then candy becomes sticky and softens on the surface. But after one more night opened from the outside plastic, Ricola candy in the packaging is still dry and not sticky.
At the front of the packaging there is a picture Ricola candy similar to the shape of candy inside and there are pictures of herbs which implies that it contains herbal sweets, above a picture of candy is also a posts Swiss Herb Candy. If back to the ingredient, herbal expressed as Swiss Herb Candy is Ricola herbal flavor. This means that Ricola made from herbal flavor in particular. Perhaps less so means.
In addition, of Swiss Herb Candy there is also a posts Sugar-Free. It is already clear sugar-free, meaning that the artificial sugar is used instead of real sugar, there is an Isomalt and natural sweetener Sorbitol, an artificial sweetener Aspartame and artificial sweeteners Acesulfam-K contained in the ingredient. So for those who are on a diet, do not be afraid to consume Ricola sweets, because sugar free.
Underwriting brand Ricola (that's larger than the other posts), there a posts Alpin Fresh, Brand Ricola has been known in Indonesia for more than 15 years. I remember an ads Ricola in ancient times. Fresh catchphrase as in the mountains. Fresh Alpin probably refers to the Alpen mountain. When I eat candy Ricola, I feel fresh like in the mountains, although the air in Jakarta is hot. But in my mouth was cool. The menthol content makes it cool in the mouth, fitting. If too much menthol, there will be not fresh, but the hot burning sensation like chili.
On the back of the packaging there is a picture with the inscription mountains are Ricola herbs grow in the Swiss mountain areas, and below it there Alpin Fresh again. Ricola wishes to assure if the candy contains herbal ingredients that grow in the mountains in Switzerland. After the image of the mountain is the composition or ingredient. And after that an information about table nutritional value or Nutrition facts. Servings are 6 pieces or 15 grams with the number of servings per package is 3. Calories per 6 pieces is 60 kcal. Obtained only from the total carb. Perhaps the carb from isomalt.
Isomalt is a substitute for sugar, a sugar alcohol, and have little impact on raising blood sugar levels and does not damage the teeth. Isomalt energy value is 2 kcal / grams, half of the sugar. The bottom information on the packaging is weighted for whole candies in a package that is 45 grams net. At the top of the packaging there is an inscription with the brand Ricola Alpin Fresh. At the bottom of the packaging there is an expiration date and lot number or batch production. Also, there are ways vault Keep cool and dry (store in a cool and dry place). At the edge of the packaging there a barcode information and author information or Ricola factory complete with address and website (www.ricola.com).
At the other edge of packaging there is a warning that it contains phenylalanine, not suitable for people who suffer Phenylcetonuric. Excessive consumption may cause a laxative effect. Contain artificial sweeteners, it is advisable not consumed by children under five (5) years, pregnant women and nursing mothers. Phenylcetonuric is kidney and liver function impairment, which is a genetic disorder in which a person does not have the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (the digestive enzyme phenylalanine) in the body. While the laxative effect is the effect that stimulate bowel movements or soften the stool to ease constipation in patients with excreta disposal. But this does not mean eating candy could lead to easier defecation, candy has only a small effect in a bowel movement.
One thing is lacking, is no halal label on the packaging. Even if seen from the composition no material that is not kosher, but the Indonesian consumer will feel secure, if the products that it consumes has halal label.
Ricola has various flavors corresponding colors on the packaging. What I taste is light yellow candy and lemon mint taste with blue packaging. The flavor is derived from menthol flavor, lemon flavor (lemon thyme, mint), acidity citric acid, and ganepy flavor as stated in the ingredient. Lemon flavor instead of lemon fruit, if it's from the original lemon juice, lemon image may be added in the packaging, but there is no lemon picture on the Ricola packaging, so it's clear it is not from the lemon fruit or juice.
Ricola candy shaped oval with a thickness of approximately 1 cm. With a net weight of 45 grams, and inside there are 18 pieces of candy. Or about 2.5 grams per candy. 2.5 grams of this candy should last about 5 minutes in the mouth, without chewing. Ricola is hard candy. The color is not too clear and a bit blurry. But this is not a problem because you'll enjoy a fresh sensation. These candies are very soft in the mouth, and do not make the cut because the candy surface is flat and smooth, no perforation or air bubbles that can make mouth sores.
Aftertaste or sensation left and still perceived in the mouth after chewing is exhausted by a sense of cool or cold was felt for about 2 minutes. No bitter or spicy tastes due to excess menthol remained. I was satisfied with Ricola candy, although the price is a bit expensive, but worth trying and could be one candy that can be stored in a bag or purse and be eaten anytime.
