Abstract:
The invention relates to chewing gum comprising at least one biodegradable polyester copolymer obtained by the polymerization of two or more cyclic esters by ring-opening, said at least one biodegradable polyester copolymer having a molecular weight of less than 150000 g/mol and said chewing gum further comprising chewing gum ingredients. According to the invention, an improved release of chewing gum ingredients has been obtained when a texture acceptable biodegradable polyester copolymer are applied as a chewing gum polymer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to chewing gum comprising at least one biodegradable polymer and chewing gum ingredients, said chewing gum containing less than about 2.0 weight percent water of the chewing gum. According to the invention, a biodegradable chewing gum having low moisture has been provided in combination with an initial acceptable texture.
