CHEWING GUM AND ITS PRODUCTION METHOD Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A23G4/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry. The proposed chewing gum contains a water-soluble and a water-insoluble part. The said water-insoluble part contains a base with a cross-linked gelatinous matrix. The said water-soluble part includes a bulking filler. The bulking filler is chosen from among mannitol, erythrite and their mixtures. The ratio of the bulking filler to the cross-linked gelatinous matrix is up to 9:1. The ratio of the bulking filler other than mannitol and erythrite to the cross-linked gelatinous matrix is less than 0.08:1. The produced chewing gum, elastic and chewable, generates a chewing gum residue and is not completely resolved in the oral cavity. The method envisages polyphenol mixing with gelatine and water for obtainment of the chewing gum base with the cross-linked gelatinous matrix. Then one mixes the chewing gum base with the cross-linked gelatinous matrix and the bulking filler.

EFFECT: invention allows to obtain a chewing gum base that is not destroyed in the consumer's oral cavity during 60 minutes and more but is further biodegradable and has reduced adhesion to surfaces.
