摘要:
A confectionary composition and a method for oral care that includes Magnolia Bark Extract in combination with a surface active agent. The effectiveness of Magnolia Bark Extract in inhibiting biofilm formation in the oral cavity is increased by a synergistic combination of the Magnolia Bark Extract with a surface active agent in an oral cavity delivery agent, such as confectionary, a lozenge, a candy, and a tablet.
摘要:
A pullulan-free edible film composition for oral cleansing, breath freshening, and anti-microbial benefits includes a film forming agent and Magnolia Bark Extract. In a treatment process, an effective amount of Magnolia Bark Extract is delivered to the oral cavity by the edible film for convenient oral cleansing and breath freshening benefits. A method of making the pullulan-free edible film composition includes forming an aqueous solution of film forming agents and Magnolia Bark Extract and drying the aqueous solution to form a dry edible film.
摘要:
A method for producing a chewing gum with a controlled release of an antimicrobial agent, as well as the chewing gum so produced, is obtained by physically modifying the release properties of the antimicrobial agent by coating and drying. The antimicrobial agent is coated by encapsulation, partially coated by agglomeration, entrapped by absorption, or treated by multiple steps of encapsulation, agglomeration, and absorption. The coated antimicrobial agent is preferably then co-dried and particle sized to produce a release-modified antimicrobial agent for use in chewing gum. When incorporated into the chewing gum, these particles are adapted to produce a fast release or a delayed release when the gum is chewed. The preferred antimicrobial agent is chlorhexidine digluconate.

A method for producing a chewing gum with a controlled release of a bitterness inhibitor, as well as the chewing gum so produced, is obtained by physically modifying the release properties of the bitterness inhibitor by coating and drying. The bitterness inhibitor is coated by encapsulation, partially coated by agglomeration, entrapped by absorption, or treated by multiple steps of encapsulation, agglomeration, and absorption. The coated bitterness inhibitor is preferably then co-dried and particle sized to produce a release-modified bitterness inhibitor for use in chewing gum. When incorporated into the chewing gum, these particles are adapted to produce a fast release or a delayed release when the gum is chewed. The preferred bitterness inhibitor is sodium gluconate.
摘要:
Gum bases and chewing gum formulations, as well as methods for making same, are provided. The gum base and chewing gums include an edible end-capped polyester.
摘要:
Chewing gum formulations and bases, as well as methods of producing chewing gum and bases are provided. The chewing gum includes sucrose polyesters, which can be used in the base and/or gum as a plasticizer, softener, and emulsifier. In one embodiment, sucrose polyesters are added to sucrose-type gum formulations replacing a quantity of fats, oils, and/or emulsifiers.
摘要:
A chewing gum formulation to fight cavities comprises sufficient erythrose to give the chewing gum anti-caries properties. Also disclosed is a method of reducing or preventing dental caries by inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans in the presence of fermentable carbohydrates in the mouth. This method comprises contacting the teeth with chewing gum containing erythrose, wherein the erythrose is present in sufficient quantity to give the chewing gum anti-caries properties.
摘要:
Curcumin is employed for the purpose of detecting and warning of the presence of cyanide in a food, drug, or other oral composition. The curcumin is incorporated into a food packaging material. In the presence of cyanide, the curcumin undergoes a color change causing at least a portion of the packaging material to manifest a color change. The color change is sufficient to be detected by an observer, thereby providing a warning of cyanide adulteration of the product.
