摘要:
Chewing gums and chewing gum bases which are cud-forming and chewable at mouth temperature contains a block copolymer having at least two hard crystallizable polymeric blocks and at least one soft polymeric block. At least one hard polymeric block is a hard crystallizable polymeric block has a melting point greater than 20° C. The hard, crystallizable polymeric blocks and the soft blocks each have a degree of polymerization of at least 15 Characteristics of the block copolymers can be selected to produce gum bases and chewing gums having desired properties. In some cases, chewed cuds formed from the gum bases may exhibit improved removability from environmental surfaces to which they may become undesirably attached.
摘要:
Dried fruit powders are used as a replacement for current bulking agents used in chewing gum, such as polyols or sucrose, thereby providing healthier chewing gum options to consumers with real fruit taste.
摘要:
A gum base comprises microparticles containing at least one crosslinked polymer. It has been found that such gum bases exhibit desireable chewing properties similar to conventional gum bases. Cuds formed by chewing gum bases containing crosslinked polymer microparticles are easily removable from environmental surfaces such as concrete, fabrics and flooring materials.
