摘要:
A dual composition hard coated chewing gum is provided, which exhibits improved long-term shelf stability under storage conditions involving constant exposure to the moisture contained in the atmosphere. The dual composition hard coated chewing gum is ideally suited for pellet chewing gum having pellet shapes which cannot easily be protected from atmospheric moisture by packaging. The dual composition hard coated chewing gum has a gum center which includes a gum base, a bulk portion, and one or more flavoring agents. The dual composition hard coated chewing gum also has an outer coating which includes layers which contain from about 50 to about 100% xylitol; and layers which contain from about 50 to about 100% of a non-xylitol polyol (preferably lactitol, maltitol or sorbitol, with lactitol and maltitol being particularly preferred). A method of preparing the dual composition hard coated chewing gum is also provided. The non-xylitol polyol is preferably applied first, and covered with a xylitol coating.

A method for making a coated chewing gum product and the resulting product are disclosed. The product includes a gum center surrounded by a colored coating. A polishing layer is applied to the colored coating. The polishing layer comprises wax and a colorant. In preferred embodiments, the colorant comprises about 1% to about 30% of the polishing layer, and the polishing layer comprises about 0.005% to about 0.2% of the coated 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.

The present invention provides an apparatus and method for forming confectionery products into desired shapes. In an embodiment, the ingredients of a confectionery product, such as a bubble gum, are blended together. The ingredients are mixed, cooled and then formed into traditional center pieces. Next, the center pieces are fed into an underwater pelletizer. The underwater pelletizer cuts the extruded confectionery pieces into miniature products. A recirculating supply of water immediately sweeps away the miniature products from the pelletizer, cools the products and transport the products to a centrifugal dryer. The centrifugal dryer separates the miniature products from the circulating water. The separated miniature products are immediately dusted with an anti-agglomerating compound. Finally, the product is coated or otherwise packaged for consumption.

A method of coating comestibles comprises the steps of providing cores of comestibles to be coated; applying a coating syrup to the cores to build up a layer of coating on the cores; the coating syrup comprising a suspension made from a liquid solution of hydrogenated isomaltulose that is enriched to contain an excess of alpha-D-glucopyranosido-1,6-sorbitol (GPS) compared to alpha-D-glucopyranosido-1,1-mannitol (GPM) and a powder solid phase hydrogenated isomaltulose that is not enriched in GPS compared to GPM.
摘要:
A method of coating comestibles comprises the steps of providing cores of comestibles to be coated; applying a first coating syrup to the cores and a powder material over the first coating syrup in alternating steps to build up a first layer of coating on the cores; and applying a second coating syrup over the first layer of coating and drying the second coating syrup to form a second layer of coating on said cores, the second coating syrup comprising a bulk sweetener in an amount such that the second coating syrup is saturated and part of said bulk sweetener is in the form of a solids suspension in the second coating syrup.
