Abstract:
A chewing gum composition for controlling malodorous breath when chewed comprising a gum base having present therein a breath freshening amount of a water soluble zinc ion releasing salt and a phosphate salt mixture of alkali metal pyrophosphate and polyphosphate salts at a weight ratio of about 2:1 to 1:3 whereby the presence of the phosphate salt mixture enhances and extends the release of the zinc ion during the period of chewing.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a confectionery dispenser (100) comprising at least two confectionery article (11) magazines (12), each said confectionery article magazine (12) comprising a magazine outlet being coupled with at least one confectionery article dispenser outlet (13), preferably one, by means of at least one magazine discharge arrangement said magazine discharge arrangement comprising at least one confectionery article fitting compartment (19, 20, 21) adapted for performing a movement relative to said magazine outlets upon activation of an activation arrangement (101) and thereby a transferring at least one confectionery article (11) comprised in at least one confectionery article magazine (12) to said magazine outlet (13) or to at least one output compartment (A, B, C). According to the invention, an advantageous magazine fed vendor machine has been obtained.

Abstract:
The invention concerns an apparatus for cleaning of a surface (8)such as a pavement from small lumps (4) such as chewing gum. The apparatus comprises at least a second means (2) and a third means (3). Preferably the apparatus also comprises a first means (1). The first means is a means for altering the texture of the small lumps (4) by either heating the small lumps (4) to a texture being softer or by cooling the lumps (4) to a texture being more solid. The second means (2) is a rotary brush for cleaning off the small lumps (4) from the surface (8). The third means (3) is a tray or a box for collecting of the small lumps (4) that have been cleaned of the surface (8). The third means (3) is arranged behind the brush so that foremost edges of the third means (3) are positioned in the immediate vicinity of the bristles (10) of the brush. Thereby the collection of the small lumps (4) is improved, especially if the third means (3) constitutes a mouthpiece for a suction unit.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a coated chewing gum comprising a core of chewing gum and a coating, wherein said coating comprises a coating material and one or more active substance(s), said active substance(s) being in the form of a powder when applied to the coating. The present invention additionally includes a method of preparing the coated chewing gum. More particularly, the present invention relates to the active substance(s) such as oral care agents, antiseptic agents, a cooling agents, flavour enhancers, high potent sweeteners and enzymes. The invention furthermore relates to use of the active substance(s) in the coating of a coated chewing gum, e.g. to provide a fast onset of the effect, a better stability of the active substance, and an increased effect thereof in all chewing phases.

Abstract:
The invention realtes to a method for selling confectionery, where the confectionery is combined with a package and is combined with informaiton chosen among news, entertainment and advertisisng, inwhich package the confectionery is contained and on which package the informaiton is provided, and where said package is provided with at least one outer surface and at least one inner surface (401, 402), the at lest one outer surface of said package at least comprising information relating to the confectionery in the package and a substantial part of the inner surface (401, 402) of said package at least comprising further information () not realting to the confectionery, where the further information not related to teh confectionery may very among a number of packages, and where the combination of the confectionery and the package and the information is being purchased, the package is closedso that the inner surface is not visually accessible.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a chewing gum comprising gum base, sweetener and flavor, wherein at least a part of said gum base comprises at least one biodegradable polymer, where then tan(delta) is at least 0.6 within the linear viscoelastic region (LVR) of the chewing gum. According to the invention, it has been recognized that the texture may be referred to measurable rheological properties of the final chewing gum. Furthermore, it has been realized that biodegradable polymers may be adjusted towards desired rheological properties by means of so-called plasticizers, even if the chewing gum is made on the basis of biodegradable polymers, which as from the beginning, does not meet desired rheological properties.
