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 method for producing a chewing gum with an improved release of active agent, as well as the chewing gum so produced, is obtained by adding an active agent to a chewing gum coating. The active agent is added to the coating in a coating solution or premixed with a flavor or solvent. The coating solution may contain sweetener or other transdermal enhancing agents to obtain increased transmucosal absorption. An active agent may also be used in the gum core.
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 confectionary or chewing gum product comprising a center including a water soluble portion. A first coating that comprises a blend of xylitol/mannitol that substantially encloses the center. A second coating that consists essentially of one polyol that substantially encloses the first coating.

摘要:
Chewing gums containing gum talha 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 gum talha, the gum talha being part of the bulking agent in the gum. The gum talha provides the gum with unique properties, and the gum is non-cariogenic. In another embodiments, the gum talha is codried with sweeteners or coevaporated with a plasticizing syrup to produce unique sweetening ingredients and syrups for gum. The gum talha may also be provided in the form of a rolling compound on the gum, or used with sugars or polyols to form a hard coating for a coated pellet gum.
摘要:
A chewing gum including sorbitol and method of making the same is provided. The chewing gum is created from a formulation that includes a composition that comprises a syrup solution of aqueous sorbitol, a plasticizing agent selected from glycerin, propylene glycol and mixtures thereof, and an anticrystallization agent comprising alditols other than sorbitol having a degree of polymerization (DP) of 1 or 2.
摘要:
A chewing gum pellet coated with a coating of natural carbohydrate gum hydrolyzate material, wherein the material is selected from the group consisting of guar gum hydrolyzate, locust bean gum hydrolyzate and karaya gum hydrolyzate. The coating may also include xylitol.
摘要:
A petroleum wax-free chewing gum containing special noncariogenic oligosaccharides, sweeteners, and flavors is described. The noncariogenic oligosaccharides are preferably low calorie and act as binders when formulated into the wax-free chewing gums. The binder systems used contain at least 35 weight percent of the binder system as noncariogenic oligosaccharides, preferably including at least one from the group including polydextrose, fructooligosaccharides, indigestible dextrins, oligofructose, isomaltulose oligosaccharides, guar gum hydrolysates, hydrolyzed alginates, and hydrolyzed alkaloses, each noncariogenic oligosaccharide having an average Degree of Polymerization (DP) of at least 3, and preferably from 3 to about 50.
摘要:
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.
