Embodiment 13

[0123] Example 13 and comparative batches D-F

[0124] Chewing gum was manufactured from the gum base of Example 12 and batches A, B and C according to the formulation in Table 7.

[0125] Table 7

[0126]

[0127] Gum base of batch C (comparative)

[0128] The gums of Example 13 and batches D, E and F were chewed by experienced panelists and found to have acceptable taste and texture and formed chewable cuds at mouth temperature.

Abstract

A chewing gum contains a water-insoluble gum base portion containing a polyolefin thermoplastic elastomer; a water-soluble bulk portion; and at least one flavor component, which is cud-forming and chewable at mouth temperature.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] The present invention relates to chewing gum. More specifically, the present invention relates to improved formulations for chewing gum bases and chewing gums containing polyolefin thermoplastic elastomers. [0002] The main components of chewing gum are typically a water-insoluble gum base portion and a water-soluble bulking agent portion, which typically includes bulking agents (such as sugar and sugar alcohols) and small amounts of secondary components such as flavoring agents, coloring agents , water-soluble softener, colloidal emulsifier, sour agent and sensitizer. Typically, the water soluble fraction, sensates and flavors dissipate during chewing, while the gum base remains in the mouth throughout the chew. [0003] Water insoluble gum bases typically contain elastomers, elastomer plasticizers, softeners / emulsifiers including fats and oils, and fillers. Elastomers useful in gum bases are typically synthetic elastomers such as polyis...
