摘要:
A method for producing a chewing gum with a controlled release active agent, as well as the chewing gum so produced, is obtained by physically modifying the release properties of the active agent, such as a nutraceutical or nutritional supplement, by coating and drying. The active agent is coated by encapsulation, partially coated by agglomeration, entrapped by absorption, or treated by multiple steps of encapsulation, agglomeration, and absorption. The coated active agent is preferably then co-dried and particle sized to produce a release-modified active agent for use in chewing gum. The active agent may also be used in a coating on a chewing gum product, as part of a rolling compound applied to the chewing gum product, or as a part of the liquid in a liquid-center chewing gum product.
摘要:
A method is provided for the total manufacture of chewing gum on a continuous basis. The method uses a blade and pin extruder that includes one or more hollow pins located at a distance from the shaft of the extruder that is at least 2.7% of the diameter of the barrel.
摘要:
A method is provided for the total manufacture of chewing gum on a continuous basis without requiring the separate manufacture of chewing gum base. The method uses a continuous high efficiency mixer which is configured for the total manufacture of a wide variety of chewing gum products and includes at least one large feed port that is not adjacent a conveyor element. By integrating the manufacture of chewing gum into a single operation, the method of the invention can save time and labor, and improve product consistency.

A method for producing a coated chewing gum with a controlled release of an active agent, as well as the chewing gum so produced, is obtained by physically modifying an active agent's properties by coating and drying. An active agent is coated by encapsulation, partially coated by agglomeration, entrapped by absorption, or treated by multiple steps of encapsulation, agglomeration, and absorption. The coated active agent is then co-dried and particle sized to produce a release-modified active agent. When incorporated into a chewing gum coating, these particles release into the mouth but mask bitter and other off-tastes in the mouth, and are readily ingested.
摘要:
A method of making antacid coated chewing gum products comprises the steps of providing chewing gum cores; providing a coating syrup comprising a bulk sweetener and calcium carbonate having a median particle size of greater than about 3 microns and being suspended in the coating syrup; and applying the coating syrup to the cores and drying the syrup to produce a coating on the cores, the coating containing from about 25% to about 60% calcium carbonate.
摘要:
A method of continuously producing a chewing gum composition comprises the steps of continuously adding fresh chewing gum ingredients into a continuous mixer; subjecting the fresh chewing gum ingredients to a continuous mixing operating within the mixer, thereby forming a chewing gum composition; continuously discharging the chewing gum composition from the continuous mixer while fresh chewing gum ingredients continue to be introduced and mixed within the mixer; and adding a portion of a previously produced chewing gum composition to the mixer and mixing the portion of previously produced chewing gum with the fresh chewing gum ingredients being continuously added to the mixer and mixed to form the chewing gum composition.

A method of making antacid coated chewing gum products comprises the steps of providing chewing gum cores; providing a coating syrup comprising a bulk sweetener and a neutralizing antacid suspended in the coating syrup, the coating syrup containing from about 25% to about 50% by weight of the solids in the syrup of a neutralizing antacid, selected from the group consisting of aluminum salts, bismuth salts, magnesium salts, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, potassium citrate, sodium potassium tartrate, tricalcium phosphate and mixtures thereof, and applying the coating syrup to the cores and drying the syrup to produce a coating on the cores. Methods of use of the product to provide relief in the gastrointestinal tract are also included.
