摘要:
A method of making chewing gum is disclosed which reduces the incidence of "sugar spots." The method begins by providing a sweetener matrix in a mixer. Discrete particles of unmelted gum base, e.g. commercially available gum base pellets, are then added to the mixer. These two components are mixed until a homogenous mass is produced. Preferably, the sweetener matrix contains no more than about 13 percent by weight moisture at the time the gum base particles are added.
摘要:
An abhesive, high flavor impact chewing gum is provided which has reduced plasticization. The chewing gum includes a non-tack chewing gum base, one or more sweeteners, and a spray dried flavor ingredient containing spearmint flavor, wintergreen flavor, citrus oil or food acceptable aliphatic esters. A method for preparing the abhesive, high flavor impact chewing gum is also provided.
摘要:
A method of adding the high intensity sweetener thaumatin to chewing gum ingredients via an aqueous solution of thaumatin, distilled water and preservative--preferably glycerin or propylene glycol.
摘要:
A method of optimizing texture and processability of chewing gum compositions is disclosed. The method includes the steps of making a sample batch of chewing gum containing powdered sorbitol, making subsequent batches of gum also using powdered sorbitol, using at least two types of powdered sorbitol in one or more of the samples batches and varying the ratio between the at least two types of powdered sorbitol between sample batches in order to optimize texture and processability of the gum. The types of powdered sorbitol may differ in their particle size distribution or particle morphology. Methods of manufacturing gum and gum compositions using optimized ratios of powdered sorbitol are also disclosed.
