摘要:
A sugarless chewing gum is provided wherein xylitol is employed as bulk filler and sweetener, and a hydrocolloid, such as xanthan gum or various alginates derived from giant kelp, is employed as a binder between the gum base and xylitol and as a humectant to facilitate retention of moisture in the gum.
摘要:
A gum base is provided which has excellent film-forming properties and thus is particularly suited for use in a bubble gum. The gum base contains 50 to 80% ester gums and a unique fatty acid or fatty acid ester plasticizer, such as glycerol monooleate, and is free of conventional fillers. A bubble gum containing such gum base is also provided.
摘要:
Comestible compositions such as chewing gum containing freely dispersed L-aspartic acid sweetening agent derivative, moisture, and optionally, a manufacturing heat history of at least 115.degree. F., are rendered storage stable relative to the retention of recoverable levels of the L-aspartic acid derivative by adding freely dispersed hydrogenated starch hydrolysate thereto, thereby allowing for the effective use of relatively low levels of such L-aspartic acid derivative therein.
摘要:
A synthetic non-styrene-butadiene rubber gum base is provided which has non-stick properties, retains its softness over extended periods of time even without the presence of antioxidants and improves or extends sweetness and flavor when used in either sugar or sugarless chewing gums and contains polyisobutylene and a mixture of polyvinyl acetate, triacetin and glyceryl monostearate as film forming-plasticizing agents together with polyterpene, polyethylene, wax, glyceryl monostearate, fatty acid esters and filler. A chewing gum containing this gum base and method for preparing same are also provided.
摘要:
A xylitol-coated chewing gum is provided which delivers an intense instantaneous cooling effect. The xylitol coating has a pleasant smooth feel and which coating is applied via a coating syrup containing from about 55 to 70% solids of which from about 95 to about 99.5% is xylitol.
摘要:
A reduced calorie chewing gum is provided which does not decrease in viscosity upon chewing and contains less than 65% water-solubles, such as sugars and/or sugar alcohols such as sweeteners, and includes gum base containing high levels of inert fillers, such as calcium carbonate or talc in amounts of at least about 40% by weight, softeners, such as lecithin, and optionally synthetic non-caloric sweeteners, such as aspartame, saccharin, or cyclamates. The chewing gum includes at least about 10% air voids entrapped in the gum base matrix which, upon chewing, become filled with moisture causing a dramatic increase in cud volume.
摘要:
Center-filled chewing gum is provided which includes as the center fill a dispersion of a thickener, such as carboxymethyl cellulose in glycerin, the glycerin functioning as both a sweetener and carrier, and the thickener functioning to retard increase in viscosity of the glycerin.
摘要:
A chewable chewing gum base is provided which is substantially calorie-free, does not decrease in viscosity upon chewing inasmuch as it is essentially free of water-solubles, and includes gum base containing high levels of inert fillers, such as calcium carbonate or talc in amounts of at least about 50% by weight, softeners, such as lecithin, synthetic non-caloric sweeteners, such as aspartame or cyclamates, and flavors. The chewable gum base includes at least about 10% air voids entrapped in the gum base matrix which, upon chewing, become filled with moisture causing a dramatic increase in cud volume.
摘要:
A chewing gum which includes a water-soluble phase formed of aqueous softener, such as sorbitol syrup, and a first sweetener, such as sorbitol or sugar, in particulate form dispersed throughout the aqueous softener, and a relatively water-insoluble phase formed of a plurality of separate and distinct masses suspended in and dispersed throughout the water-soluble phase, each of the masses being formed of particles of gum base and particles of a second sweetener, such as mannitol and/or sorbitol or sugar, enveloped by particles of gum base.The relatively water-insoluble phase including gum base particles and/or the water-soluble phase further includes hydrogenated starch hydrolysate.
