摘要:
The present invention is a method of increasing the flavor release of chewing gum using hydroxypropyl cellulose, as well as the chewing gum containing hydroxypropyl cellulose and having increased flavor release. The increase in flavor release is obtained by incorporating hydroxypropyl cellulose in a powder form directly into the chewing gum composition.
摘要:
A quantity of about 50 to 5,000 ppm of perillartine is added to chewing gum to provide a chewing gum having improved sweetness and prolonged sweetness duration. The perillartine also provides unexpected oral trigeminal effects such as tingling, numbing, mouth coating and cooling/warming sensations that last throughout the entire chewing period.
摘要:
A chewing gum including sorbitol and method of making the same is provided. The chewing gum is created from a formulation that includes a composition that comprises a syrup solution of aqueous sorbitol, a plasticizing agent selected from glycerin, propylene glycol and mixtures thereof, and an anticrystallization agent comprising alditols other than sorbitol having a degree of polymerization (DP) of 1 or 2.
摘要:
A chewing gum product comprises a gum pellet covered by a hard coating containing erythritol and xylitol. The coating may be a homogeneous material built up of layers from a single coating syrup containing erythritol and xylitol. The syrup preferably contains, on a solids basis, a blend of about 5% to about 95% erythritol and about 5% to about 95% xylitol. The coating is particularly useful in making sugarless gum products.
摘要:
Chewing gum products containing maltodextrin and methods of making such gum products are disclosed. In one embodiment, aspartame is used to sweeten the gum composition, and maltodextrin is provided in an amount effective to stabilize the aspartame such that after six weeks of storage at 85.degree. F., at least 5% less aspartame decomposes than would have decomposed if the maltodextrin were not included. In another embodiment, a maltodextrin which has been purified to remove fermentable components is used in chewing gum.
摘要:
Chewing gum products containing palatinose and/or palatinose oligosaccharide and methods of making such gum products are disclosed. In one embodiment, the palatinose and/or palatinose oligosaccharide are used in a rolling compound applied to the chewing gum product. In a second embodiment, the palatinose and/or palatinose oligosaccharide are used in a coating, such as a hard-shell coating, for a pellet gum. In a third embodiment, aspartame is used to sweeten the gum composition, and palatinose oligosaccharide is provided in an effective amount to stabilize the aspartame such that after four weeks of storage at 85.degree. F., at least 10% more aspartame remains undecomposed than would have remained if the palatinose oligosaccharide were not included. Palatinose oligosaccharide is also used as an encapsulating agent for high-intensity sweeteners or flavors used in gum compositions.
摘要:
The present invention includes a method for producing a chewing gum with a modified release sweetener selected from the group of N-substituted derivatives of aspartame, particularly neotame, as well as the chewing gum so produced. The modified release neotame or other N-substituted derivative of aspartame sweetener is obtained by physically modifying the sweetener properties by coating and drying. Neotame or another N-substituted derivative of aspartame sweetener is coated by encapsulation, partially coated by agglomeration, entrapped by absorption or extrusion, or treated by multiple steps of encapsulation, agglomeration, absorption, or extrusion. The coated sweetener is then co-dried and particle sized to produce a release-modified high-intensity sweetener. When incorporated into the chewing gum, these particles are adapted to enhance the shelf stability of the sweetener and/or produce a modified release when the gum is chewed.
摘要:
Chewing gums containing gum talha 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 gum talha, the gum talha being part of the bulking agent in the gum. The gum talha provides the gum with unique properties, and the gum is non-cariogenic. In another embodiments, the gum talha is codried with sweeteners or coevaporated with a plasticizing syrup to produce unique sweetening ingredients and syrups for gum. The gum talha may also be provided in the form of a rolling compound on the gum, or used with sugars or polyols to form a hard coating for a coated pellet gum.
摘要:
A method of making a zein-cellulose derivative gum ingredient is disclosed. Preferably, a solution of zein and water at a pH of between about 11.5 and about 12.1 is prepared, containing between about 10% and about 20% by weight zein, and the aqueous zein solution is combined with a cellulose derivative such as HPMC to form a zein-coated ingredient. The zein-cellulose derivative ingredient is then used to make chewing gum. The zein-cellulose derivative ingredient has been found to reduce late chew bitterness and harshness in high mint-flavor content gums.
摘要:
A method of making coated chewing gum products comprises the steps of providing chewing gum cores; providing a first coating syrup comprising a bulk sweetener; providing an aldehyde flavor; providing a second coating syrup separate from the first coating syrup and comprising a dipeptide sweetener; and applying the first and second coating syrups to the cores and drying the syrups to produce a coating on the cores. Calcium carbonate or another antacid may be incorporated in the coating by being mixed into the first coating syrup or applied as a dry charge.
