Method for producing transparently sugar-coated chewing gum having coloured carbohydrate particles

A method for producing transparently sugar-coated chewing gum, having a heterogeneously structured chewing gum core and a transparent sugar-coated surface layer enveloping this core, comprising the following method steps:

• a) providing chewing gum core components, in particular at least one chewing gum base and at least one first carbohydrate, colored carbohydrate particles with a particle diameter of 0.2 to 2 mm, and a transparent sugar-coating medium containing at least one second carbohydrate,
• b) mixing and kneading the chewing gum core components to obtain a chewing gum core mass,
• c) extruding the chewing gum core mass to obtain an extruded shaped chewing-gum body,
• d) Scattering the colored carbohydrate particles on a surface of the extruded shaped chewing-gum body,
• e) rolling the shaped chewing-gum body scattered with colored carbohydrate particles,
• f) cutting the rolled shaped chewing-gum body obtained in step e) to obtain heterogeneously structured chewing gum cores,
• g) sugar-coating the heterogeneously structured chewing gum cores obtained in step f) with the transparent sugar-coating medium and
• h) obtaining transparently sugar-coated chewing gum, having a heterogeneously structured chewing gum core.
