摘要:
The invention is directed to methods of extracting nucleic acids from microorganisms or mammalian cells adhered to polymers that are malleable within a living organism and particularly malleable in the oral cavity of the living organism. The invention also provides for method of detecting and quantitating microorganisms that adhere to malleable polymers, such as chewing gum.
摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for making a shaped gum product composed of agglomerated individual strands of gum. The gum product is induced through a plurality of apertures in a forming die to form individual strands of extruded gum product. The individual strands of gum product are then cooled by a cooling system, such as a blower and/or a cooled conveyor and form an agglomerated mass of cooled individual strands of gum product. Agglomerated mass of gum product is then formed into a predetermined shape and configuration, for example by slicing and/or scoring.
摘要:
There is provided a hard panned coating, and a hard panned confection comprising an edible core coated with the same. The hard panned coating comprises multiple sugar syrup layers, only some of which further comprise one or more sucrose esters. In some embodiments, titanium dioxide may be excluded from the sugar syrup/sucrose ester layers. In these, and other, embodiments, the hard panned coatings exhibit one or more L*, a* and b* values within 5% of the corresponding value of a colorant overcoat applied over a precoat comprising titanium dioxide. Raw material cost savings are thus provided, while yet providing a confection having enhanced properties.
摘要:
A low sugar, low cariogenic, low-laxation gelled confection having acceptable texture, stability, clarity, and flavor delivery, that contains a doctoring agent comprising sucromalt, inulin, brown rice syrup, or combinations thereof; erythritol as the bulking sweetener agent; and a gelling agent comprising gelatin, pectin, starch, dextrin, hydrocolloid, milk proteins, or combinations thereof; wherein the doctoring agent to erythritol ratio is 90:10 to 70:30 wt % solids and the gelled confection has consumer acceptable texture, stability, clarity, and flavor delivery.
摘要:
A chewing gum composition includes gum base, flavor, sweetening agent, and about 0.01% to about 0.4% [(2-isopropyl-5-methyl-cyclohexanecarbonyl)-amino]-acetic acid isopropyl ester (Gly-OiPr).
摘要:
Low density chewing gums having a density of less than 0.60 g/cc comprise at least 50% polymer and less than 40% bulking agent and filler combined. The low density chewing gum may be produced by mixing the ingredients with supercritical fluid carbon dioxide and cooling the mixture. The mixture may optionally be cut into pieces and coated.
