Abstract
A novel composition of a confectionery or pharmaceutical product, characterized in that it includes 30 to 70 wt % of a bulking agent other than maltitol having a specific surface area smaller than 0.5 m2/g and also having a reduced amount of base gum, with no negative effect on the organoleptic properties, relative to the prior art products. Also, a method for using the novel composition in the production of a chewing gum characterized in that it enables the amount of base gum in said products to be considerably reduced.

A chewing gum composition, comprising:
- at least one gum base and
- between 30% and 70% by weight of a bulking agent comprising sorbitol in a purity of greater than 95% by dry weight of sorbitol,
- said bulking agent having a specific surface area, determined by the BET method, of between 0.1 and 0.3 m2/g, said specific surface area being measured on a fraction of 250 μm to 841 μm, the percentages being expressed by weight relative to the total weight of the chewing gum composition wherein the amount of gum base is reduced relative to a chewing gum composition containing sorbitol having a specific surface area greater than 0.5 m2/gm.
