摘要:
A sucrose-containing chewing gum ingredient is prepared by mixing about 50 to about 95 parts by weight polyvinyl acetate with about 5 to about 50 parts by weight of a solution comprising sucralose dissolved in a solvent. The mixture is then dried to drive off the solvent. A chewing gum is prepared by mixing sucralose-containing ingredient, gum base, a bulking agent and flavor to make a chewing gum composition.
摘要:
A method of making a zein-cellulose derivative gum ingredient is disclosed. Preferably, a solution of zein and water at a pH of between about 11.5 and about 12.1 is prepared, containing between about 10% and about 20% by weight zein, and the aqueous zein solution is combined with a cellulose derivative such as HPMC to form a zein-coated ingredient. The zein-cellulose derivative ingredient is then used to make chewing gum. The zein-cellulose derivative ingredient has been found to reduce late chew bitterness and harshness in high mint-flavor content gums.
摘要:
A sucrose-containing chewing gum ingredient is prepared by codrying sucralose with a codrying agent and homogeneously mixing about 50 to about 97 parts by weight heat-softened polyvinyl acetate with about 3 to about 50 parts by weight of the codried sucralose. The mixture is then cooled. A chewing gum is prepared by mixing the sucralose-containing ingredient, gum base, a bulking agent and flavor to make a chewing gum composition.
摘要:
A sucrose-containing chewing gum ingredient is prepared by homogeneously mixing about 50 to about 97 parts by weight heat-softened polyvinyl acetate with about 3 to about--50 parts by weight crystalline sucralose. The mixture is then cooled. A chewing gum is prepared by mixing the sucralose-containing ingredient, gum base, a bulking agent and flavor to make a chewing gum composition.
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:
The use of encapsulated salts to enhance flavor and sweetness characteristics of gum is disclosed. The gum of the present invention comprises gum base, a sweetening and bulking agent, a flavoring agent, and a salt encapsulated in a manner to delay its release from the gum composition during chewing. The encapsulated salt is made by standard coating and encapsulation techniques. The gum is made by standard mixing techniques, though it is preferred to mix the encapsulated salt into the molten gum base.
摘要:
Flavor releasing structures for chewing gum have about 30% to about 60% thermoplastic cellulose material, about 5% to about 50% non-cellulosic thermoplastic polymer, and about 10% to about 40% porous flavor reservoir material. Optionally the flavor releasing structure may comprise about 5% to about 25% plasticizer. The cores may be coated with a flavor barrier coating.
摘要:
A method is provided for the manufacture of chewing gum on a continuous basis. 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 ingredient feed opening that is enlarged.
