Introduction 1. The Background Over the years, humans have been trying to find innovations that are easy and can make us not sleepy and able to work or study efficiently, which is the oldest way and has been for a long time is coffee. The advantages of coffee are easy to eat, just drink. The downside, though, is that it tastes pretty bad and contains caffeine, which has a sedative and addictive effect. After that, we have a new drink that tastes good and makes us energetic, that is, the energy drink, but this drink can drink only 2 bottles a day, not more than that, otherwise our heart will work hard. Due to caffeine in a lot of energy drinks, both coffee and energy drinks cannot be used in our school age, as most people in school do not like the bitter taste of coffee. But the problem of students is sleepy during school time, they can't study effectively because of sleepiness and we have seen that problem so we come up with a simple solution that can save the lives of sleepy students. Can sleep, that is, gummy to cure sleepiness, as we have planned and designed, we will make many flavors of chewy gummies that we have made, that we will not use caffeine. Which makes the students eat easily and not addicted. 2. Statement of the problem
Some people might feel tired or still sleepy when they wake up in the morning or might feel sleepy while they are doing their work. Some people might drink coffee or energy drink to help them feel more energetic and rejuvenated. But there are some people who dislike coffee or energy drinks so they might want to go for something else. Not only that but there are some people who is in too much of a hurry to make a coffee or even buy an energy drink because they think that it wastes time and they might be late for their work or even school. 3. Objective 1. It will help you feel rejuvenated and wakes you up quickly. 2. It's portable. You can carry it anywhere at any time. 3. There are variety of flavors for you to try. Some people like different flavors so there will be many choices for you to choose if you dislike one flavor. 4. Hypothesis We are able to make gummies that will help people solve their sleeping problem during the day or in the morning. But there are some people who dislike coffee or can’t afford to buy a coffee or tea from the convenience store. So we are able to make gummies to compensate coffee and teas and make people feel rejuvenated or have more energy. We also try to make a variety of flavors for people who likes different flavors.

Information/Concept In the studies of Gummies that helps you to wake up from sleepy The concepts, theories and evidence from the related documents are as follows. 2.1 The sour flavors. When you take a bite out of any sour fruits, it has a sharp biting taste that can potentially wake you up from your need of slumber. The sour flavors can contain acid, lemon-like or vinegary, tart, bitter, acerbic which will create the sour flavor we know. Examples of some sour fruits are critics fruits like lemons and limes. They have a large amount of acid which leads to their sour and sometimes leads to their bitter taste. Other sour fruits include oranges, kiwifruit, raspberries etc. Or even fruits that are less ripe. It contains more acid and less fructose for example, frozen strawberries. Most sour fruits contain Vitamin C or also known as Citric acid. Vitamin C can help protect your cells against the effects of free radicals. Citric acid is generally deemed safe too. Unless if you have any allergies towards it. 2.2 The Mint flavor. The primary flavor of a mint is a little sweet taste with a cool feeling in your mouth. Those two flavors can potentially wake you up because of the cold sensation you feel when you eat it. The reason you can feel it because the mint flavor contains a substance that helps give that cool sensation. It's called "Menthol". Menthol is an organic compound and can be
found in the oils of cold mint, peppermint, or other mints. Its appearance looks like a clear white crystal which is solid at room temperature and melts when the temperature is slightly above. The harmful side of menthol is that it can cause irritation to your body, making it itch and it can catch on fire very easily. Serious effects of a menthol includes seizures, coma and even death. So it is best not to consume it in such a large amount. 2.3 Gelatin. Gelatin is one of the main and primary components of making a gummy. It is a colorless and flavorless ingredient. Gelatin is made out of collagen extracted from the skin, bones, cartilage and tendon of the animals. The gelatin is brittle when it is dry and rubbery when it is moist. It is commonly used to be a gelling agent in food, drinks, medications, drug or vitamin capsules, photographic films, papers and cosmetics. Some examples of the things that uses gelatin is soups, broths, sauces, gummy candies, marshmallows, cosmetics and medications. Gelatin have its uses as well. It is useful for skin care, healthy body tissues, digestion, managing blood sugar, bone strength, sleep quality, and weight loss and hair growth. It is also considered safe by the FDA or The U.S. Food and Drug Administration. But there are disadvantages of the gelatins as well. This include unpleasant taste, feeling heavy inside your stomach, heartburn, bloating and belching. Gelatin can also trigger an allergic reaction to someone who is allergic to gelatin too. There is also some concern
about the safety of the gelatin since it comes from animal sources like cow and pigs. So it is best not to eat it too much. 2.4 Gummies. Gummies are a category of a gelatin-based candy. Gummies are also chewable sweets. They are widely popular and are a well-known part of the sweets industry alongside Sour Patch Kids and Jelly Babies. Gummy candies are mostly made of gelatin, corn syrup, sugar, starch and water mixed together in a mixing bowl. Despite gummy being a treat to all of us. Gummies are snacks which mean that they aren't healthy foods. They are candies which made with sugar alcohols, artificial sweeteners, colors and flavors. If you eat it way too much, it can lead you to obesity or diabetes. But the gummies can also have their advantages as well. Such as the gummies are easy to chew and digest. They are better tasting than other vitamins and they can also create healthy habits as well.

And the gummy it different than other snack like candy, there for gummy it chewable snack but candy it inability to chew. While gummy candy has been manufactured since this time, it had limited worldwide distribution until the early 1980. Now, the candy is available in various different forms, from dinosaurs to fruit rolls. And now gummy it has more flavor and can add useful things to it. Because these multivitamin gummies are a better alternative to pills since they provide a wide array of nutrients in an easy to chew, fruit flavored gummy vitamin form.

There are two flavors to choose from: sour and cool flavor ginger, lemon and honey. It can be eaten and can be carried anywhere to eat at any time. Disadvantage: The disadvantage is that some people do not like the sour taste and perhaps that our jelly cannot be stored in very hot temperatures, so it must be eaten quickly, should not be stored for a very long time, otherwise the jelly will melt. Useful and Harmful Useful: Our gummies can be used as coffee substitutes and can reduce the symptoms of caffeine addicts and our flavors are available in a variety of flavors. Our sleep remedies are chemical free, all natural, no addictive substances. Another advantage of our gummies is that they can be taken anywhere and eaten as much as you want, but not in large quantities. Can be eaten easily, just put in the mouth, which is very different from the coffee that has many methods of doing. This we think that our gummy is answers to
students or people who do not like to eat coffee or Caffeine and Gummies have a chewy texture with a sour and slightly sweet taste. There are many flavors for you to choose from. For example, there are many kinds of fruits to choose from, and there are many flavors to choose from, and we can make a lot of different shapes. Disadvantage: The gummies we wanted to make had a sour taste because we made them with citrus fruits that help to awaken the brain. So we chose to make a sour taste to meet the problem. The problem that we want to solve is sleepy but not convenient to drink coffee. So we invented to make gummy. But the disadvantage of it that affects our body is that if eaten in excess amounts, it can cause acid reflux. Because sour taste is acidic when it enters our body. We also have an iced option, but this iced flavor contains sugar to make it delicious. Therefore, if eaten in large amounts each day and eaten regularly, it may result in diabetes.
Guidance Our product will be packed in a package and there will be a small bag containing 1 piece of gummy and inside the sachet will be 6 pieces. There are 2 flavors, cool and sour. And both of these flavors will be packaged separately. In addition, our gummy can carry a small sachet to be eaten in any situation. You can tear the sachet and eat our gummies right away. Dos: We recommend eating in moderation and sharing. Eating unique flavors will result in better results. Shouldn't eat too much because our candies in the sour part, if eaten in large amounts, can cause acid reflux. And it can cause stomach pains throughout the day instead of feeling awake and productive at work. It also has a negative effect onslowing down the work due to abdominal pain. And the cold taste, if eaten in large quantities and accumulates in time, it may affect health problems like diabetes because we have added sugar and if consumers have a habit of eating desserts, it may affect more. All of the above is not without the advantages of gummi at all. Advantages of gummy if we eat the right amount. It helps us feel awake and productive at work. There are also vitamins derived from fruits that we use to make gummies that affect the body, resulting in increased vitamins.

Results This project we started from researching the fruits those are sour for our candy. Initially, we used frozen strawberries to make our gummies sour and the first result was that gummies have too much of a liquid-texture because we use too little gelatin and we put it in the refrigerator. Our second try, we added more fruits to our shelf. That include passion fruit and we also added a new "cold-flavored" flavor. In our second try. We were not satisfied with the flavor the strawberries one so we just cut it from our list. But we are satisfied with how the passion fruit tasted so we decided to use the passion fruit instead of the frozen strawberries. But for our third try. The passion fruit one has a liquid texture and has an unsatisfying taste. We tried fixing it by putting more gelatin and made it more of a sticky texture that we are satisfied with. And for our "cold flavored" has a better taste to it and has the sticky texture we wanted. We just waited for the gelatin to set in with the room temperature and not putting it in the freezer which made the gummies sticky from the gelatin that is mixed and not having a liquid texture like the first try and the second try.
