Abstract
A chewing gum tablet including at least two cohered chewing gum modules, the tableted chewing gum being formed by compression of chewing gum granules, at least one of the chewing gum modules including gum base granules, the gum base granules including an elastomer system, the chewing gum tablet including an elastomer system in an amount of at least 10% by weight of the tablet. A compressed chewing gum tablet has been obtained featuring extremely impressing abilities of incorporating well-defined amounts of chewing gum ingredients combined with acceptable rheological properties of the compete tablet.
Claims24
A chewing gum tablet comprising:
- at least two cohered chewing gum modules;
- said chewing gum tablet being formed by compression of chewing gum granules;
- at least one of said chewing gum modules comprising gum base granules, said gum base granules comprising an elastomer system;
- said chewing gum tablet comprising the elastomer system in an amount of at least 15% by weight of the chewing gum tablet;
- wherein at least 10% by weight of the elastomer system comprises polyvinyl acetate;
- and
- wherein the elastomer system is present in an amount sufficient to provide an improved long term release of flavor as compared to a chewing gum tablet having an elastomer system present in an amount of less than 15% by weight of the chewing gum tablet.
