摘要:
A flavored chewing gum is provided which contains a water-insoluble chalk-free gum base, a slowly or poorly extractable or poorly water-soluble sweetener in particulate form, such as the free acid form of saccharin or free cyclamic acid, and optionally, a slowly or poorly extractable or poorly water-soluble food acid in particulate form, for example, fumaric acid, dispersed in the gum base. The particulate sweetener and food acid (where present) undergo controlled release from the gum base for relatively long periods during which time the chewing gum delivers a sweet taste unaccompanied by a metallic or bitter after-taste.
摘要:
A chewing gum is provided which contains gum base and a non-aqueous solid fatty or gelatinous sweetener or flavorant, such as butter, marshmallow or caramel, solubilized in the gum base. The subject chewing gum has the appearance and mouth feel of chewing gum as opposed to candy and a delayed but prolonged sweetness or flavor impact. The chewing gum is laminated with a slab of chewing gum which will supply initial sweetness or flavor impact.A method for producing the above chewing gum is also provided.
摘要:
A method is provided for treating gum base to improve its resistance to oxidation without the need for antioxidants wherein air or oxygen is swept from the gum base by means of an inert gas, and the oxygen-free gum base, in particulate form, is coated with a highly oxygenated substance, such as molten sugar, sorbitol solution or hydrogenated starch hydrolysate which acts as a barrier against oxygen.The gum base produced by the above method and chewing gum containing such gum base are also provided.
摘要:
A tobacco-flavored chewing gum is provided which does not decrease in viscosity upon chewing inasmuch as it is preferably essentially free of water-solubles, and includes gum base containing high levels of inert fillers, such as calcium carbonate or talc in amounts of at least about 50% by weight, softeners, such as lecithin, synthetic non-caloric sweeteners, such as aspartame, saccharin or cyclamates, and tobacco flavors and/or natural tobacco. The chewing gum includes at least about 10% air voids entrapped in the gum base matrix which, upon chewing, become filled with moisture causing a dramatic increase in cud volume.
摘要:
A breath freshener composition is provided which may be in the form of a comestible, such as a pill, powder, tablet, pressed candy or mint, boiled candy, mouthwash, dental cream, chewing gum and the like, and which includes as its active ingredient a vegetable oil employed in combination with magnesium hydroxide or basic hydrated magnesium carbonate. The above breath freshener composition is especially effective in eliminating onion odor in the mouth and saliva. In addition, a method is provided for inhibiting bad breath wherein any of the above combinations are employed.
摘要:
A method for treating teeth to reduce caries is provided wherein the teeth are contacted with a saccharin material, optionally in the presence of a sugar, for example, as contained in a chewing gum composition, the saccharin material being present in an amount sufficient to inhibit growth of Streptococcus mutans in the oral cavity or on the teeth.
摘要:
A method for controlling the weight and size of sugar-containing solid pieces, such as tablets or candies wherein a controlled amount of dextrans having a given molecular weight are incorporated with the ingredients forming the sugar-containing solid pieces to thereby cause reduction in the weight and size of the solid pieces; and the resulting sugar-containing solid pieces of desired weight and size, containing a given amount of dextrans having a given molecular weight.
摘要:
A chewing gum is provided which includes a coated chalk-containing base and contains a poorly water-soluble sweetening agent, such as the free acid form of saccharin, and/or food acid, the sweetening agent and/or food acid being coated with an edible coating agent. The coating agent inhibits reaction of the free acid or food acid with chalk (CaCO.sub.3) and thus inhibits formation of soluble salts which are quickly solubilized in the mouth.
摘要:
A mint-flavored chewing gum which contains a water-insoluble gum base, sugars, flavoring and, the free acid form of saccharin, in particulate form, dispersed in the insoluble gum base. The particulate artificial sweetener, undergoes controlled release from the gum base for relatively long periods, for example, for 30 minutes or more, at a concentration below the bitter threshold, so that the chewing gum delivers a sweet taste during such time unaccompanied by a metallic or bitter aftertaste.
摘要:
An improved deposited chewable antacid tablet containing solid antacid particles which includes solid antacid particles having a primary particle size of less than 100 millimicrons, which particles are thoroughly coated with a mixture composed of a fatty material or oil, a surfactant, and a flavorant selected from the group consisting of chocolate, mint-chocolate, butter, vanilla, butter fat and mint flavors. The fat or oil is present in an amount of from about 25% to about 45% of the mixture. As a result of the mixture coated on the antacid particles a non-chalky, non-gritty, antacid tablet is provided which readily disintegrates upon exposure to saliva as such way as to function as a liquid antacid.
