In a second embodiment, the indigestible dextrin is used in a coating, such as a hard-shell coating, for a pellet gum. In a third embodiment, indigestible dextrin is used in the center fill of a chewing gum. In a fourth embodiment, aspartame is used to sweeten the gum composition, and indigestible dextrin is provided in an effective amount to stabilize the aspartame such that after eight weeks of storage at 85.degree. F., at least 10% more aspartame remains undecomposed than would have remained if the indigestible dextrin were not included. Indigestible dextrin is also codried with other sweeteners, coevaporated to make syrups and used as an encapsulating agent for high-intensity sweeteners used in gum compositions.

A dual composition hard coated chewing gum is provided, which exhibits improved long-term shelf stability under storage conditions involving constant exposure to the moisture contained in the atmosphere. The dual composition hard coated chewing gum is ideally suited for pellet chewing gum having pellet shapes which cannot be easily protected from atmospheric moisture by packaging. The dual composition hard coated chewing gum has a gum center which includes a gum base, a bulk portion and one or more flavoring agents. The dual composition hard coated chewing gum also has an outer coating which includes layers which contain from about 50 to about 100% of at least two different polyols preferably lactitol, maltitol, hydrogenated isomaltulose or erythritol. A method of preparing the dual composition hard coated chewing gum is also provided. Lactitol, maltitol or hydrogenated isomaltulose is preferably applied first, and the covered with an erythritol coating.

Chewing gum products containing a natural carbohydrate gum hydrolyzate and methods of making such products are disclosed. In one embodiment, the natural carbohydrate gum hydrolyzate is used in a rolling compound applied to the chewing gum product. In a second embodiment, a natural carbohydrate gum hydrolyzate is used in the center fill of a chewing gum. In a third embodiment, aspartame is used to sweeten the gum composition and the natural carbohydrate gum hydrolyzate is provided, preferably in an effective amount to stabilize the aspartame such that after eight weeks of storage at 85.degree. F., at least 5% less aspartame decomposes than would have decomposed if the natural carbohydrate gum hydrolyzate was not included. A natural carbohydrate gum hydrolyzate is also co-dried with other sweeteners, co-evaporated to make syrups and used as an encapsulating agent for high-intensity sweeteners or flavors used in gum compositions.

Oligofructose is also codried with other sweeteners, coevaporated to make syrups and used as an encapsulating agent for high-intensity sweeteners or flavors used in gum compositions.
摘要:
Chewing gums containing maltitol and methods of making such gums are disclosed. In one embodiment, the gum comprises about 5% to about 95% gum base, about 0.1% to about 10% flavoring agent and maltitol, the maltitol being the only bulk sweetener. The maltitol provides the gum with unique properties, and the gum may be non-cariogenic. In other embodiments, the maltitol is co-dried with other sweeteners or coevaporated with a plasticizing syrup to produce unique sweetening ingredients and syrups for gum.

摘要:
A method for producing a chewing gum, as well as the chewing gum so produced, incorporates a physiological cooling agent, such as acyclic carboxamide, or combinations of physiological cooling agents. In another embodiment a combination of physiological cooling agents is made in a modified release structure. The modified release/cooling agents combination is preferably obtained by physically modifying the properties of the combination of cooling agents by coating and drying. When incorporated into gum, these particles are adapted to enhance the shelf stability of the flavor and/or produce a modified release when the gum is chewed. In another embodiment, the physiological cooling agent is present with menthol and menthone.In another embodiment, coated chewing gum has a coating that comprises a physiological cooling agent. The preferred inventive chewing gum provides a high flavor impact in which the harsh notes normally associated with such a high flavor impact have been reduced or eliminated. In addition, the preferred inventive gum provides a clean, high-quality, cooling chewing gum coating with xylitol or other polyols where xylitol has been reduced in concentration or eliminated.
