INTENSIFIED RELEASE OF LIPOPHILIC INGREDIENTS FROM CHEWING GUM WITH HYDROCOLLOID Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A23G4/06 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to confectionary industry. The chewing gum composition contains 5% - 90 wt % of chewing base, 5% - 95 wt % of filling agents and sweetening agents, 0.001% - 5.0 wt % of a lipophilic flavouring agent or lipophilic sensate, 0.01% - 10 wt % of pectin. The sensate provides the consumer with a cooling, heating or tingling sensation. The pectin is unswollen and unhydrated. The pectin is introduced in the form of powder but not as an encapsulating or jellying agent immediately into the chewing gum composition. The proposed composition production method involves the chewing base melting to produce a melted chewing base. Then one mixes the filling agent and the sweetening agent with the melted chewing base to produce the first mixture. Then one mixes the lipophilic sensate, the lipophilic flavouring agent or their combination with the first mixture to produce the second mixture. The powdery pectin in an amount of 0.01% - 10 wt % of the total weight of the chewing gum composition is mixed with the melted chewing base or with the first mixture or with the second one.

EFFECT: invention allows to produce chewing gum with intensified release of lipophilic ingredients in the chewing process.
