Inclusion of tooth whitening oxidation chemistries into slow releasing food products

A non-hygroscopic solid tooth whitening composition comprising;

• carbamide peroxide in an amount effective to dissolve and produce a whitening effect on teeth when the composition is dissolved in the mouth,
• a solid, water-free, non-hygroscopic base comprising a hydrogenation product of isomaltulose,
• with water in the composition at sufficiently low amount and the composition being sufficiently non-hygroscopic to avoid a detectable taste of urea from the reaction of carbamide peroxide with water.

A method for manufacturing a solid tooth whitening composition comprising compounding into a mixture a tooth-whitening amount of carbamide peroxide and a non-hygroscopic base of a hydrogenation product of isomaltulose in a water-free environment,

• forming the mixture into a solid shape.

A method for manufacturing a solid tooth whitening composition comprising;

• compounding an essentially water-free, non-hygroscopic base and a tooth-whitening amount of carbamide peroxide,
• the water-free, non-hygroscopic base comprising a hydrogenation product of isomaltulose, with water in the composition at sufficiently low amount and the composition being sufficiently non-hygroscopic to avoid a detectable taste of urea from the reaction of carbamide peroxide with water,
• forming the base and carbamide peroxide into a solid shape.

A method of whitening teeth comprising;

• dissolving in the mouth a solid composition consisting essentially of;
• carbamide peroxide in an amount effective to dissolve and produce a whitening effect on teeth when the composition is dissolved in the mouth,
• a non-hygroscopic solid base comprising a sweetener which is a hydrogenation product of isomaltulose.

A method of whitening teeth comprising;

• dissolving in the mouth a solid composition comprising carbamide peroxide in an amount effective to produce a whitening effect on teeth when the composition is dissolved in the mouth, and a solid, essentially water-free, non-hygroscopic base, the solid, water-free, non-hygroscopic base comprising a hydrogenation product of isomaltulose, with water in the composition at sufficiently low amount and the composition being sufficiently non-hygroscopic to avoid a detectable taste of urea from the reaction of carbamide peroxide with water.

A method for stabilizing carbamide peroxide in a solid material;

• compounding the carbamide peroxide with an essentially water-free, non-hygroscopic sweetener base to form the solid material,
• the water-free, non-hygroscopic base comprising a hydrogenation product of isomaltulose, with water in the composition at sufficiently low amount and the composition being sufficiently non-hygroscopic to avoid a detectable taste of urea from the reaction of carbamide peroxide with water.
