Abstract:
The invention relates to a chewing gum comprising a chewing gum base, and at least one emulsion system, which comprises at least one flavor, at least one dispersion medium and at least one emulsifier having a total HLB value of at least 10, wherein said at least one emulsifier comprises in the range of 0.1 to 10 percent by weight of said chewing gum.
Abstract:
The invention relates to gum base granules and compressed chewing gum comprising at least one biodegradable polymer. According to an embodiment of the invention, a mechanically stable compressed chewing gum tablet has been obtained by applying at least one biodegradable polymer as a part of the gum base of the compressed chewing gum tablet.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a chewing gum tablet comprising at least two individual coherent chewing gum modules, at least one of said chewing gum modules comprising compressed gum base granules and wherein said compressed gum base granules comprise at least one biodegradable polymer.
Abstract:
The invention relates an oral delivery vehicle tablet containing nicotine, the delivery vehicle tablet being formed by compression of a plurality of particles, the oral delivery vehicle tablet comprising nicotine, the oral delivery vehicle tablet comprising sugar alcohol(s) in an amount of 40 to 100% by weight of the delivery vehicle tablet, wherein at least 10% by weight of the delivery vehicle tablet comprises a plurality of particles consisting of erythritol and wherein the delivery vehicle tablet comprises a plurality of further sugar alcohol particles in an amount of at least 10% by weight of the delivery vehicle tablet, wherein said further sugar alcohol particles comprise at least one sugar alcohol and wherein said further sugar alcohols particles have a composition which is different from said particles consisting of erythritol.
Abstract:
A compressed chewing gum tablet includes at least a first and a second chewing gum module, the first chewing gum module including a first chewing gum composition including at least a first active ingredient and chewing gum granules containing gum base, the second chewing gum module including a second chewing gum composition including at least a second active ingredient and chewing gum granules containing gum base, wherein the first active ingredient is a pharmaceutically active ingredient, and the second active ingredient is selected from the group consisting of pharmaceutically active ingredients and enhancers, wherein the gum base content of the first and second chewing gum modules is different.
Abstract:
A compressed chewing gum tablet includes one or more pharmaceutically active ingredients and one or more enhancers, wherein the chewing gum tablet includes at least one chewing gum module including a chewing gum composition, and wherein the chewing gum composition includes chewing gum granules containing gum base, and wherein the enhancers are at least partly contained within at least a part of the chewing gum granules.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a chewing gum comprising at least one biodegradable polymer, wherein the molecular weight of said polymer is at least 105000 g/mol (Mn). According to the invention, it has moreover been realized that this problem may be effectively dealt with by increasing the molecular weight of at least one of the biodegradable polymers in the chewing gum when compared to conventional chewing gum polymers and thereby increasing the robustness of the chewing gum with respect to softeners, emulsifiers and e.g. flavor.
Abstract:
A chewing gum composition with high pH-release includes an insoluble gum base matrix and a soluble bulk portion, wherein the gum base matrix and the bulk portion is mixed and extruded to form a final chewing gum core, and wherein the gum base matrix is buffered before mixing with the bulk portion. Furthermore, a method of producing a chewing gum core, wherein a gum base matrix and a bulk portion is mixed and extruded to form a final chewing gum core, and wherein the gum base matrix is buffered before mixing with the bulk portion, and the gum base matrix includes a first amount of buffer from 2 to 20 percent by weight of the gum base matrix before mixing with the bulk portion.
Abstract:
A method of dosing pharmaceutically active ingredients in a compressed chewing gum tablet includes the steps of: providing one or more pharmaceutically active ingredients, mixing a chewing gum composition including the one or more pharmaceutically active ingredients and chewing gum granules, the chewing gum granules including gum base, and dosing the chewing gum composition to obtain a desired weight of the chewing gum composition and thereby obtaining a desired dose of the pharmaceutically active ingredient in the chewing gum tablet.
