摘要:
A multi-layered chewing gum composition is disclosed. The composition has a moisture content of less than about 1% by weight of the composition and contains at least two layers each comprising a chewing gum composition. The chewing gum compositions of each layer comprise gum base in an amount of about 15 to about 60% by weight of the layer such that the difference in gum base content between the layers is about 3 to about 15% by weight. The chewing gum compositions of each layer also comprise sweeteners, flavors, and optionally, at least one other conventional chewing gum additive.
摘要:
A chewing gum base composition that does not adhere to dentures, removable and fixed oral prostethic devices, fillings or natural teeth. The chewing gum base composition includes an elastomer, elastomer solvent, polyvinyl acetate, emulsifier, low molecular weight polyethylene, waxes, plasticizer and fillers.
摘要:
A chewing gum composition and process whereby the process comprises softening the base between a temperature range of about 40.degree. C. to about 60.degree. C.; admixing softening agents, sweetening agents and flavoring agents; extruding the composition prior to cooling; forming the composition into suitable chewing gum pieces without cooling; and immediately wrapping the pieces with a minimum of protective wrapping without prior conditioning. No moisture or moisture-containing ingredients are used and the chewing gum composition has a final moisture content of up to about 0.9% by weight.

摘要:
The present invention pertains to a center-filled chewing gum composition having an outer shell enclosing a cavity and a liquid center within the cavity, wherein the outer shell comprises a gum base having an enhanced hydrophilic nature. In a preferred embodiment invention pertains to a center-filled chewing gum composition wherein the outer shell comprises a gum base comprising in percentages by weight of the gum base (a) an elastomer present in an amount from about 0.5% to about 20%, (b) a medium molecular weight polyvinyl acetate polymer having a molecular weight from about 35,000 to about 55,000 present in an amount from about 10% to about 25%, (c) an acetylated monoglyceride present in an amount from about 4.5% to about 10%, (d) a wax having a melting point below about 60.degree. C. present in an amount from about 6% to about 10%, and (e) a component selected from the group consisting of elastomer solvents, emulsifiers, plasticizers, fillers, and mixtures thereof, present in an amount to bring the total amount of gum base to 100%. The center-filled chewing gum compositions may be used with a wide variety of liquid centers. The present invention also pertains to methods for preparing the center-filled chewing gum compositions.
摘要:
A non-staling, reduced density bubble gum composition is provided by a method wherein a bubble gum composition having a preselected bubble gum base composition is aerated with an inert gas in a pressurized environment. In a preferred embodiment, aeration of the bubble gum composition is achieved by the injection of nitrogen gas into the bubble gum composition during a pressurized extrusion of the gum.
摘要:
A novel flavor/sweetener delivery system and chewing gum compositions prepared therefrom.The chewing gum compositions have prolonged flavor and sweetener release and comprise(a) a gum base; and(b) a flavor and sweetener delivery system comprising flavor and/or sweetening agents encapsulated in a matrix comprising:(i) at least one elastomer;(ii) at least one elastomer solvent;(iii) at least one wax system;(iv) an excipient selected from the group consisting of carbohydrates, polyhydric alcohols and mixtures thereof; and(v) optionally spherical particles having microporous channels.
摘要:
The present invention is a new method of making a confectionery mass, such as a nougat, by hydrating sufficiently to form the mass without the need for cooking to drive off moisture. The present invention also includes a product prepared by positively hydrating a mixture of confectionery ingredients including a hydrobinding component and shearform product.
摘要:
Solid delivery systems for highly volatile flavor oils which include a stabilized, substantially non-volatile mixture of a highly volatile flavor oil or flavor component and a medium chain triglyceride are disclosed. The stabilized mixtures may be absorbed or adsorbed onto a non-fat solid substrate and incorporated into a saccharide based matrix and flash flow processed. The delivery systems may be added to chewing gum and confectionery products.
