摘要:
A chewing gum contains a water-insoluble gum base portion containing a solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene random copolymer elastomer which is cud-forming and chewable at mouth temperature; a water-soluble bulk portion; and at least one flavor component.

Methods of making gum base and chewing gums and products so produced are provided. To this end, methods for selecting effective plasticizers for corn protein are provided. The plasticizer selection methods are based on a calculation of the ratio of electron acceptors to the total number of carbon atoms of the plasticizer, and a calculation of the ratio of electron donors to the total number of carbon atoms of the plasticizer.
摘要:
The present application discloses compositions of chewing gum base that can include at least one thermosensitive polymer. The thermosensitive polymer can include poly(N-isopropylacrylamides) or triblock copolymer polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene. The present application provides for methods of making gum bases and chewing gum formulations.
摘要:
A chewing gum product containing a cross-linked gelatin matrix gum base and a bulking agent of erythritol, mannitol, or mixtures thereof. The cross-linked gelatin matrix can make up all or a portion of the gum base and still be comparable to that of a traditional elastomeric chewing gum product in its elasticity, cohesiveness, and feel in the mouth. The chewing gum of the present invention is also more environmentally friendly because it can be digestible and partially replace the need for petroleum-derived elastomers.
摘要:
A chewing gum base comprises food acceptable substituted polysaccharides wherein substituents on the saccharide units in the polysaccharides produce a degree of substitution of at least I.0. The polysaccharides may have branches with an average length of 1 to 15 saccharide units per branch. The polysaccharides may be linked saccharide units such as allose, altrose, mannose, gulose, idose, galactose, 3,6 anhydro galactose, glucuronic acid, mannuronic acid, galacturonic acid, aldobiouronic acid, fucose, rhamnose, arabinose, xylose, talose, acyl substituted glucose, fructose, lactose and combinations thereof.
