FIELD: food industry.
SUBSTANCE: method for producing bubble gum granules includes mixing a gum base with one or more sweetening substances, placing the resulting mixture in an extruder. In the extruder, the specified mixture is heated to a temperature above 60°C, the specified mixture is extruded through a matrix disk of the extruder equipped with a set of holes with a diameter of less than 1.5 mm, threads of the mixture coming out of the extruder are cut with a knife in a cutting chamber. A cryogenic gas stream with a temperature below -40°C formed from a mixture of air and cryogenic gas passes through the cutting chamber. As a result, bubble gum granules with a diameter of less than 2 mm are obtained, which are immediately cooled in the specified cutting chamber and removed from the specified chamber by the specified gas flow. Then, the specified granules are mixed with one or more flavor and aroma-giving substances and/or one or more sweetening substances, and the resulting composition is pressed into a mold to produce bubble gum granules.
EFFECT: invention makes it possible to obtain bubble gum granules without the risk of changing compositions of bubble gum containing soluble substances.
