The organogelator is ethyl cellulose or a combination of ethyl cellulose and an edible wax, preferably candelilla wax, rice bran wax, carnauba wax, paraffin, beeswax, polyethylene wax or combinations thereof. The ethyl cellulose preferably has an average ethoxyl content of from 45.0% to 47.0% by weight of the ethyl cellulose or from 48.0% to 49.5% by weight of the ethyl cellulose. The organogel compositions may be included as the flavor component in confectionery products, such as chewing gums.
