Claims20
Chewing gum comprising at least one biodegradable polymer and flavor, wherein the chewing gum contains from 0.01 to 1.0 weight percent water by weight of the chewing gum, and wherein water is added to the chewing gum formulation, and wherein a faster increase in the softness during the initial chew is obtained compared to chewing gum made on the basis of conventional gum base polymers with the same amount of added water.
Chewing gum comprising at least one biodegradable polymer and flavor, wherein the chewing gum contains from 0.01 to 1.0 weight percent water by weight of the chewing gum, and wherein 0.01 to 1.0 weight percent water by weight of the chewing gum is added to the chewing gum formulation.
Chewing gum comprising at least one biodegradable polymer and flavor, wherein 0.2 to 1.0 weight percent water by weight of the chewing gum is added to the chewing gum formulation.
Method of producing a chewing gum containing from 0.01 to 1.0 weight percent water by weight of the chewing gum, said method comprising the steps of:
- i) providing at least one chewing gum base comprising at least one biodegradable polymer and chewing gum ingredients including a flavour, and
- ii) adding 0.01 to 1.0 weight percent water by weight of the chewing gum to the chewing gum formulation.
