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 present invention includes a method for producing a chewing gum with a modified release sweetener selected from the group of N-substituted derivatives of aspartame, particularly neotame, as well as the chewing gum so produced. The modified release neotame or other N-substituted derivative of aspartame sweetener is obtained by physically modifying the sweetener properties by coating and drying. Neotame or another N-substituted derivative of aspartame sweetener is coated by encapsulation, partially coated by agglomeration, entrapped by absorption or extrusion, or treated by multiple steps of encapsulation, agglomeration, absorption, or extrusion. The coated sweetener is then co-dried and particle sized to produce a release-modified high-intensity sweetener. When incorporated into the chewing gum, these particles are adapted to enhance the shelf stability of the sweetener and/or produce a modified release when the gum is chewed.
摘要:
The present invention is a method of increasing the flavor release of chewing gum using hydroxypropyl cellulose, as well as the chewing gum containing hydroxypropyl cellulose and having increased flavor release. The increase in flavor release is obtained by incorporating hydroxypropyl cellulose in a powder form directly into the chewing gum composition.

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 quantity of about 50 to 5,000 ppm of perillartine is added to chewing gum to provide a chewing gum having improved sweetness and prolonged sweetness duration. The perillartine also provides unexpected oral trigeminal effects such as tingling, numbing, mouth coating and cooling/warming sensations that last throughout the entire chewing period.
摘要:
Chewing gums and methods of making same that have prolonged and enhanced sensory benefits are provided. The chewing gums of the present invention include a hydrophobic sweetener, a sensorally active component or trigeminal stimulant, such as a flavor, in addition to other typical chewing gum ingredients. The hydrophobic sweeteners are composed of sweet organic compounds that have a low water solubility.
摘要:
A method for producing a coated chewing gum product with accelerated absorption of medicaments through oral mucosa, as well as the chewing gum product so produced, is obtained by using a xylitol or sorbitol coating, or by adding a water-soluble alkaline material, such as a bicarbonate salt, to the chewing gum center, a coating on the center, or both. Coatings made with sorbitol or xylitol or gum centers that include sodium bicarbonate are particularly preferred.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for refining peppermint oil containing compositions. Additionally, the present invention provides a method for making chewing gum having a peppermint flavor. To this end, a method for refining a peppermint oil containing composition that includes sulfur compounds to remove at least a portion of the sulfur compounds is provided. The method comprises the step of subjecting the composition to a distillation process that removes at least a portion of the sulfur compounds from the composition, but does not remove more than 3% of the total composition.
摘要:
A method for producing a chewing gum and confections, as well as the chewing gum and confections so produced, incorporates 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 and confections, these particles are adapted to enhance the shelf stability of the flavor and/or produce a modified release. In another embodiment, coated chewing gum has a coating that comprises combinations of physiological cooling agents. 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.
