Abstract:
The invention relates to degradable chewing gum polymer, said degradable polymer is a polymer polymerized from at least one trifunctional or higher functional initiator, at least two different monomers forming the backbone of the polymer and at least one monomer selected from the group of carbonate monomers. According to the invention it has been realized that a certain degree of branching of the backbone is needed to obtain a final improved performance, when the polymer, preferably the elastomer, is incorporated in a chewing gum. It has moreover been realized that the obtained degree of branching needs and may actually be carefully controlled in order to avoid too much branching-induced crosslinking.
Abstract:
The invention relates to chewing gum comprising at least two different biodegradable polymers. According to the invention, a chewing gum comprising at least two different biodegradable polymers exhibits an improved texture prior to any adding of for example softeners. It has been realized that the desired chewing gum texture properties, contrary to every expectation and any prior art disclosures, may be actually be obtained when combining biodegradable chewing gum polymers, for example in the gum base or in the final gum.
Abstract:
The invention relates to chewing gum comprising at least one biodegradable polymer and chewing gum ingredients, said chewing gum containing less than about 2.0 weight percent water of the chewing gum. According to the invention, a biodegradable chewing gum having low moisture has been provided in combination with an initial acceptable texture.
Abstract:
The invention relates to compressed chewing gum tablet (37) comprising a chewing gum center (38), said gum center (38) comprising a compression of gum base granules (32) and chewing gum additives (33), said chewing gum additives comprising sweeteners and flavors, at least a first part of said gum base granules (32) comprising granules of flavor incorporated gum base. At least a second part of said gum base granules (32) comprising granules of conventional gum base.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a system (1) for producing pieces of center-filled chewing gum comprising an extruder (20), at least one measuring apparatus (101), and a control system, wherein said extruder (20) is extruding a gum rope (25) having geometrical characteristics, and wherein said at least one measuring apparatus (101) measures data related to at least one of said geometrical characteristics, and wherein said measured data is used by said control system to regulate at least one geometrical characteristics of said gum rope (25).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a compressed tablet for release of active ingredients, the tablet comprising at least one polyol sweetener, at least one active ingredient and compressed particles of chewing gum base material, wherein the content of polyol is between 21 and 95% by weight of the tablet, and wherein the tablet being compressed at an ambient temperature of below 25°C and a maximum relative humidity of 55 %. According to the present invention a compressed tablet has been obtained, which possesses acceptable stability of the active ingredient and furthermore has improved taste-masking or taste-matching abilities with respect to active ingredients.
Abstract:

Abstract:
The invention relates to a chewing gum comprising at least one styrene-isoprene-styrene copolymer (SIS) in an amount from about 0.1% to about 70% by weight of the chewing gum. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a chewing gum may be obtained which shows much improved features with regard to rheological properties, elastic properties and storage abilities.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a chewing gum comprising at least one biodegradable polymer in an amount of from about 0.1 % to about 99 %, said biodegradable polymer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) above 37°C and having a molecular weight (Mn) within the range of approximately 500 to 60000 g/mol and wherein said chewing gum comprises less than approximately 5% by weight of natural resins.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a confectionery product comprising a polymer system, flavor and sweetener, wherein at least 20% by weight of said confectionery product comprises substantially non-elastomeric polymer and less than about 5% by weight of said confectionery product comprising one or a combination of elastomeric polymers. wherein said confectionery product is characterized by having a tan (delta) above 1 measured at a frequency of about 1 Hz. And wherein the tan (delta) is defined as (loss modulus G"/storage modulus G'). According to the present invention, a new confectionery product has been obtained having texture properties emulating toffee but comprising a part, which is retained in the mouth during chewing.
