METHOD FOR CHEWING GUM SELECTION WITH USAGE OF NON-LINEAR RHEOLOGY Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC A23G4/18 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to confectionary industry. The method for chewing gum selection on the basis of non-linear rheology involves testing with large amplitude pulsing shift or testing for determination of non-linear rheological properties at the beginning of uniform monoaxial extension or testing for monoaxial compression. Then obtained data (taken jointly or separately) are compared with known intervals of rheological data of a commercially acceptable chewing gum. Additionally, one proposes a method for selection of commercially-viable chewing gum. At first one determines quantitative values of the said rheological properties and performs comparison with certain intervals of rheological data of commercially acceptable chewing gum. Then, on the basis of such comparison, the obtained chewing gum is defined as commercially-viable.

EFFECT: invention allows to develop a method (efficient and safe for people) for chewing gum rheological data testing.
