摘要:
A dual composition hard coated chewing gum is provided, which exhibits improved long-term shelf stability under storage conditions involving constant exposure to the moisture contained in the atmosphere. The dual composition hard coated chewing gum is ideally suited for pellet chewing gum having pellet shapes which cannot be easily protected from atmospheric moisture by packaging. The dual composition hard coated chewing gum has a gum center which includes a gum base, a bulk portion and one or more flavoring agents. The dual composition hard coated chewing gum also has an outer coating which includes layers which contain from about 50 to about 100 % of at least two polyols (preferably lactitol, maltitol, hydrogenated isomaltulose or erythritol). A method of preparing the dual composition hard coated chewing gum is also provided. Lactitol, maltitol or hydrogenated isomaltulose is preferably applied first, and covered with an erythritol coating.

Chewing gum products containing oligofructose and methods of making such products are disclosed. In one embodiment, the oligofructose is used in a rolling compound applied to the chewing gum product. In a second embodiment, the oligofructose is used in a coating, such as a hard-shell coating, for a pellet gum. In a third embodiment, oligofructose is used in the center fill of a chewing gum. In a fourth embodiment, aspartame is used to sweeten the gum composition and oligofructose is provided, preferably in an effective amount to stabilize the aspartame such that after eight weeks of storage at 85 °F, at least 5 % less aspartame decomposes than would have decomposed if the oligofructose were not included. Oligofructose is also codried with other sweeteners, coevaporated to make syrups and used as an encapsulating agent for high-intensity sweeteners or flavors used in gum compositions.

Sont décrites des gommes à mâcher et d'autres denrées comestibles contenant de la dextrine indigeste, ainsi que des procédés pour fabriquer de tels produits. Dans un mode de réalisation, la dextrine indigeste est utilisée dans un composé d'enrobage appliqué à la gomme à mâcher. Dans un deuxième mode de réalisation, la dextrine indigeste est utilisée dans un enrobage, tel qu'un enrobage à enveloppe dure, ou une pastille de gomme. Dans un troisième mode de réalisation, la dextrine indigeste est utilisée dans la charge centrale d'une gomme à mâcher. Dans un quatrième mode de réalisation, de l'aspartame est utilisé pour édulcorer la composition de gomme, et la dextrine indigeste est présente en quantité efficace pour stabiliser l'aspartame de sorte qu'après huit semaines de stockage à 85 °F, la quantité d'aspartame restant non décomposé soit supérieure d'au moins 10 % à celle qui serait restée si la dextrine indigeste n'avait pas été ajoutée. La dextrine indigeste est également séchée conjointement avec d'autres édulcorants, évaporée conjointement pour faire des sirops et utilisée comme agent d'encapsulage pour des édulcorants haute intensité employés dans des compositions de gomme. De même, la dextrine indigeste qui a été purifiée pour en ôter les constituants fermentables sert à faire de la gomme à mâcher et d'autres friandises.
摘要:
A sugarless non-tack chewing gum having excellent cohesive properties and flavor is prepared using a non-tack gum base which is typically less cohesive or even crumbly. The lack of cohesiveness in the gum base is overcome by adding, to the chewing gum, a syrup blend including glycerin with evaporated hydrogenated starch hydrolysates and water. The syrup blend is preferably prepared by coevaporating a mixture of glycerin with a conventional aqueous hydrogenated starch hydrolysate solution, in order to remove much of the water. The syrup blend acts as a binder for the gum base and chewing gum ingredients without causing the gum to adhere to teeth and dentures.

Chewing gum products and other comestibles containing indigestible dextrin and methods of making such products are disclosed. In one embodiment, the indigestible dextrin is used in a rolling compound applied to the chewing gum product. In a second embodiment, the indigestible dextrin is used in a coating, such as a hard-shell coating, for a pellet gum. In a third embodiment, indigestible dextrin is used in the center fill of a chewing gum. In a fourth embodiment, aspartame is used to sweeten the gum composition, and indigestible dextrin is provided in an effective amount to stabilize the aspartame such that after eight weeks of storage at 85 DEG F, at least 10 % more aspartame remains undecomposed than would have remained if the indigestible dextrin were not included. Indigestible dextrin is also codried with other sweeteners, coevaporated to make syrups and used as an encapsulating agent for high-intensity sweeteners used in gum compositions. Also, indigestible dextrin that has been purified to remove fermentable components is used to make chewing gum and other confections.

Chewing gum products containing palatinose and/or palatinose oligosaccharide and methods of making such gum products are disclosed. In one embodiment, the palatinose and/or palatinose oligosaccharide are used in a rolling compound applied to the chewing gum product. In a second embodiment, the palatinose and/or palatinose oligosaccharide are used in a coating, such as a hard-shell coating, for a pellet gum. In a third embodiment, aspartame is used to sweeten the gum composition, and palatinose oligosaccharide is provided in an effective amount to stabilize the aspartame such that after four weeks of storage at 85 DEG F, at least 10 % more aspartame remains undecomposed than would have remained if the palatinose oligosaccharide were not included. Palatinose oligosaccharide is also used as an encapsulating agent for high-intensity sweeteners or flavors used in gum compositions.
