A chewing gum composition comprising:
- a) gum base,
- b) flavor,
- c) sweetening agent, and
- d) a cooling composition comprising ethyl ester of N-[[5-methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-cyclohexyl]carbonyl]glycine (WS-5) and at least one additional physiological cooling agent
- wherein the cooling composition is present at a level sufficient to provide a WS-5 level of from about 0.3% to about 0.6% by weight of the chewing gum composition.
A chewing gum product comprising a gum composition made from gum base, flavor, and sweetening agent, and wherein the gum product includes a cooling composition comprising the ethyl ester of N-[[5-methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-cyclohexyl]carbonyl]glycine (WS-5) at a level sufficient to provide a WS-5 level of by weight of the gum product.
A chewing gum composition comprising:
- a) about 5% to about 95% gum base,
- b) about 0.1% to about 10% flavor,
- c) about 10% to about 90% sweetening agent selected from the group consisting of sugars, sugar alcohols, and mixtures thereof, and
- d) A cooling composition comprising WS-5 and an additional physiological cooling agent
- wherein the cooling composition is present in an amount sufficient to provide the gum with a combination of good cooling properties and breath freshening properties without bitterness.
