| abstract |
An improved sugar-containing chewing gum is provided which has long-lasting sweetness, soft and smooth consistency, an amorphous bite through and enhanced flavor and is non-sticky, and is formed of gum base, a premixed recrystallized combination of liquid and solid sweeteners which preferably include high fructose syrup alone or together with liquid glucose, corn syrup, sorbitol syrup and/or invert sugar in combination with sucrose or sorbitol and water, and flavors, softeners, and other conventional chewing gum ingredients. The above chewing gum formulation will have a short nougat-like or fondant-like structure and is particularly suitable as a non-stick bubble gum which does not stick to its wrapper. |
