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.
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.
摘要:
A chewing gum base comprises food acceptable polyfarnesene wherein the polyfarnesene has a weight average molecular weight above 100,000 daltons. A chewing gum composition comprises about 5% to about 95% chewing gum base comprising food acceptable polyfarnesene wherein the polyfarnesene has a weight average molecular weight above 100,000 daltons; about 5% to about 95% bulking and sweetening agent; and about 0.1 to about 10% flavoring agent.
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 confectionary product, comprising a polyphenol-gelatin complex containing water, having a polyphenol to gelatin weight ratio of 0.2:1 to 0.8:1; and a sitable bulking agent such as erythritol, mannitol, hydrocolloid gums, modified starch, pectin, inulin, milk protein, milk protein salt, and combinations thereof; wherein the confection disintegrates during chewing under mouth conditions in 2 to 40 minutes.
