摘要:
An improved method for manufacture of chewing gums containing active ingredient(s) that preserves the efficacy of the active ingredient(s) by avoiding exposure to high heat and extreme cold during milling that can otherwise degrade the active's efficacy. A chewing gum base is used, along with one or more therapeutically-active ingredients, one or more sweeteners (alcohol-based and/or natural), and one or more flavorings and optional flavor modifiers. The method generally comprises heating the gum base in ovens to melt the gum base. Separately, the active ingredient(s), sweeteners and flavorings are combined in a mixer. The melted gum base is added to the mixer and cools to produce a particulate mixture. As mixing continues the mass cools to room temperature and forms granular pieces. The granular pieces are ground into a powder at room temperature, mixed at room temperature with tableting excipients, and tableted. Several variations on the foregoing are also described.

A delivery system for inclusion in an edible composition is formulated to have at least one active component with an encapsulating material for delivering the active component when the active component is included in an edible composition and the edible composition is consumed.
摘要:
Gum manufacturing machinery and method of manufacturing gum is illustrated in which a gum loafing machine generates loaves of finished gum that are then subsequently run through a gum conditioner to more uniformly set the temperature and viscosity of the gum material prior to further processing. Upon achieving the appropriate conditioning level, a further forming extruder may be used to generate a continuous gum ribbon for subsequent rolling and scoring operations. The gum conditioner may include vertically stacked conveyors that have different operational modes including a first mode that provides a serpentine path for a long residence time and a second mode that provides a cascading path that avoids or bypasses much of the length of some of the conveyors to provide a shorter residence time. The gum manufacturing machinery may be used in an adjustable manner so as to accommodate difference gum recipes for different batches of gum product.

A chewing gum container (100) comprises a body (110) having an interior in which chewing gum pieces can be stored. A multiplicity of individual disposal sheets (12) for use in the disposal of spent gum is attached to a surface (114) of the container body. The sheets (12) are adhered together along an edge or edges (14, 16) in two or more locations and/or along at least half, but not all, of an edge or edges (14, 16) of the sheets, so that the multiplicity of individual sheets (12) form a stack (10). A method of manufacturing the container (100) with a stack (10) of sheets (12) attached is also disclosed.
