Embodiment

[0064] The following examples of the invention and comparative formulations are provided to illustrate and not to limit the invention defined by the claims. Amounts listed are in weight percent.

[0065] Four polyfarnesenes with different molecular weights were prepared. The reaction mechanism of preparation is as follows:

[0066]

[0067] Molecular weight, polydispersity (determined by GPC), glass transition temperature (determined by DSC), and thermal degradation (temperature at which 1% of the sample is lost during thermogravimetric analysis) were measured for two polyfarnesene samples, and They are reported in Table 1 below.

[0068] Table 1

[0069]

[0070] figure 1 The complex viscosities of polyfarnesene samples 2 and 4 are shown compared to two conventional chewing gum base elastomers, butyl rubber and polyisobutylene. Complex viscosity (reported in poise (P)) is a good property for comparing polymers being considered for use in gum base. Complex viscosit...

Abstract

A chewing gum base comprises food acceptable polyfarnesene wherein the polyfarnesene has a weight average molecular weight above 100,000 daltons. A chewing gum composition comprises about 5% to about 95% chewing gum base comprising food acceptable polyfarnesene wherein the polyfarnesene has a weight average molecular weight above 100,000 daltons; about 5% to about 95% bulking and sweetening agent; and about 0.1 to about 10% flavoring agent.

Description

technical field [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 polyfarnesene. Background technique [0002] The essential components of chewing gum are usually a water-insoluble gum base portion and a water-soluble bulking agent portion. The main component of the gum base is the elastomeric polymer which gives the product its characteristic chewy texture. Gum bases often include other ingredients that modify chewing properties or aid in product processing. These ingredients include plasticizers, softeners, fillers, emulsifiers, plastic resins as well as colorants and antioxidants. The water-soluble portion of chewing gum typically includes bulking agents and minor amounts of secondary components such as flavoring agents, high-intensity sweeteners, coloring agents, water-soluble softeners, latexizers, acidulants and sensitizers. Typically, the ...
