Pectin gummy compostion and methods of making and using thereof

A method of making a gummy composition, comprising providing a gelling blend, comprising

• pectin having a carboxyl content of not more than 45% by weight of pectin and an amide content of not less than 20% more than 25% by weight of pectin;
• a solubilizing blend, wherein the solubilizing blend comprises a solubilizing salt having a formula of M-A, wherein M represent a cation of an alkaline or alkaline earth metal and A represent an anion of a multivalent acid having at least one pKa exceeding about 4;
• a swelling solvent;
• and
• optionally a first bonding blend,
• optionally providing an emulsifying blend;
• optionally providing a second bonding blend, wherein the first bonding blend and the second bonding form a bonding blend;
• providing an active blend, comprising an active agent;
• combining the gelling blend, the emulsifying blend, the bonding blend and the active blend to provide a pre-molding blend;
• combining the pre-molding blend with a pH adjusting blend to provide a molding blend, wherein the molding blend has a pH value at least about 5;
• and
• forming the molding blend into a gummy dosage composition.
