Storage Conditions
Storage of gummy candies in conditions of high humidity will result in the moisture migration of water molecules from the surrounding environment into the candy. If gummy candies are exposed to an environment that is high in moisture content, it is likely that moisture will permeate the candy and increase its relative moisture content. An increase of the candies moisture content will increase the molecular mobility of particles in the candy, leading to a variety of unwanted outcomes such as:


 * Sucrose crystallization and subsequent grainy texture.
 * A sticky candy surface.
 * Diffusion of flavors out of the candy.
 * Possibility of Microbial growth.

Moisture migration of gummy candies and their environment can be prevented by storing candies in conditions equal to their own moisture content.
