摘要:
A method for producing a chewing gum with a controlled release active agent, as well as the chewing gum so produced, is obtained by physically modifying the release properties of the active agent, such as a nutraceutical or nutritional supplement, by coating and drying. The active agent is coated by encapsulation, partially coated by agglomeration, entrapped by absorption, or treated by multiple steps of encapsulation, agglomeration, and absorption. The coated active agent is preferably then co-dried and particle sized to produce a release-modified active agent for use in chewing gum. The active agent may also be used in a coating on a chewing gum product, as part of a rolling compound applied to the chewing gum product, or as a part of the liquid in a liquid-center chewing gum product.
摘要:
A method for producing a chewing gum, as well as the chewing gum so produced, incorporates a physiological cooling agent, such as acyclic carboxamide, or combinations of physiological cooling agents. In another embodiment a combination of physiological cooling agents is made in a modified release structure. The modified release/cooling agents combination is preferably obtained by physically modifying the properties of the combination of cooling agents by coating and drying. When incorporated into gum, these particles are adapted to enhance the shelf stability of the flavor and/or produce a modified release when the gum is chewed. In another embodiment, the physiological cooling agent is present with menthol and menthone.In another embodiment, coated chewing gum has a coating that comprises a physiological cooling agent. The preferred inventive chewing gum provides a high flavor impact in which the harsh notes normally associated with such a high flavor impact have been reduced or eliminated. In addition, the preferred inventive gum provides a clean, high-quality, cooling chewing gum coating with xylitol or other polyols where xylitol has been reduced in concentration or eliminated.

Chewing gum containing gum base, erythritol and flavor, but which is free of added water and hygroscopic ingredients, is environmentally stable, i.e., does not absorb significant amounts of water from the atmosphere to soften with age, or give off significant amounts of water to the atmosphere to harden or stiffen with age.

摘要:
Chewing gums containing erythritol and methods of making such gums are disclosed. In one embodiment, the gum comprises about 5% to about 95% gum base, about 0.1% to about 10% flavoring agent and erythritol, the erythritol being the only bulk sweetener. The erythritol provides the gum with unique properties, and the gum may be non-cariogenic. In other embodiments, the erythritol is co-dried with other sweeteners or coevaporated with a plasticizing syrup to produce unique sweetening ingredients and syrups for gum.
摘要:
A method of making zein coated, high-potency sweeteners or other gum ingredients that does not use alcohol is disclosed. A solution of zein and water at a pH of between about 11.5 and about 12.1 is prepared, containing between about 1% and about 25% by weight zein, and the aqueous zein solution is combined with a high-potency sweetener or other gum ingredients to form a zein-coated ingredient. The zein coated ingredient is then used to make chewing gum. Preferable coating steps include spray drying and fluid bed coating.
摘要:
A method for producing a chewing gum with an improved release of active agent, as well as the chewing gum so produced, is obtained by adding an active agent to a chewing gum coating. The active agent is added to the coating in a coating solution or premixed with a flavor or solvent. The coating solution may contain sweetener or other transdermal enhancing agents to obtain increased transmucosal absorption. An active agent may also be used in the gum core.
摘要:
A chewing gum product is provided with a rolling compound containing erythritol and an anticaking agent, such as talc. The angle of repose of the rolling compound is less than 30.degree.. Preferably the rolling compound comprises about 40% to about 95% erythritol, about 0.5% to about 10% anticaking agent and about 4.5% to about 50% of another polyol selected from the group consisting of maltitol, lactitol, mannitol and xylitol.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a coated product with increased stiffness to reduce the chipping after manufacturing and several days of storage, and before wrapping. A coated product such as confectioneries such as chewing gum, medicines and medicinal tablets wherein the product is coated with a coating composition comprising hydrogenated indigestible starch syrup as a binding agent.
摘要:
A confectionary or chewing gum product comprising a center including a water soluble portion. A first coating that comprises a blend of xylitol/mannitol that substantially encloses the center. A second coating that consists essentially of one polyol that substantially encloses the first coating.
