Problems solved by technology

Although the syrup has been found to be useful as it can be used to manufacture stick and coated pellet chewing gum products, it has been found that chewing gum pellets made from compositions containing the syrup have coatings that do not function as desired over long term storage periods. That keeps the hard coat and crunchy
Additionally, products made from the syrup cracked during their shelf life

Embodiment 1-5

[0079] The preparation of sugar-free syrup is: 70% sorbitol solution (Neosorb TM 70 / 02 from Roquette), maltitol syrup (C16303 for Examples 1, 2 and 3, or H163K9 for Examples 4, 5 and 6 from Cerestar) and one or more multivariate in powder form Alcohol mix. The proportions of powdered polyols and materials used are given in Table I below on a wet weight basis. The powder is dissolved in a mixture of sorbitol solution and maltitol syrup, and the mixture is heated until the desired final temperature is reached. Vacuum was then applied to remove additional moisture. The final temperature and duration of vacuum application after reaching the final temperature are also given in Table I for Examples 2-6. The water content in the resulting solution was measured by Karl Fischer moisture analysis technique. The moisture contents of the syrup and dry solid compositions are also given in Table I. Consider maltitol syrup (about 52.5% maltitol, 5% sorbitol and 42.5% DP3+ in C16303 (in ...

Embodiment 19-20

[0090] Additional sugar-free syrups can be prepared as follows: 70% sorbitol solution (Neosorb 70 / 02 from Roquette), HSH syrup (Stabilite 1 Polyglycitol HSH for Example 19 from SPI Polyols, or A similar HSH solution without any sorbitol) is mixed with one or more polyols in powder form. The proportions of powdered polyols and materials used are based on wet weight and are provided in Table IV below. The powder is dissolved in a mixture of sorbitol solution and syrup, and the mixture is heated until the desired final temperature is reached. Vacuum was then applied to remove additional moisture. The final temperature and duration of vacuum application after reaching the final temperature are also given in Table IV. The moisture contents of the syrup and dry solids compositions are also given in Table IV. Considering HSH syrup (about 38% maltitol, 8% sorbitol and 57% DP3+ in Stabilite 1 (in solution with 23-28% water); and about 38% maltitol and 62% DP3+, The dry solids compo...

Abstract

An aqueous syrup for use in chewing gum, particularly pellet gum, comprises, on a dry basis, greater than about 98% polyols, of which i) about 50% to about 90% is sorbitol, ii) about 3% to about 30% is maltitol, iii) about 2% to about 20% are polyols, other than sorbitol and maltitol, with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 1 or 2, and iv) less than about 20% (and perhaps less than about 12%) are polyols with a DP of 3 or greater. The syrup is made with less than about 1.0% plasticizing agent, such as glycerin or propylene glycol. The syrup contains less than5% water. The syrup can be made by evaporating a mixture of a sorbitol solution, a maltitol syrup and one or more polyols selected from the group consisting of mannitol, xylitol, lactitol, erythritol, hydrogenated isomaltulose, and combinations thereof. Methods of using the syrup to make chewing gum, and chewing gum products containing the syrup are also provided.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §119(e), this application claims priority to 1) U.S. Provisional Patent Application 60 / 773,525, filed February 15, 2006, and 2) U.S. Provisional Patent Application 60 / 778,674, filed March 2, 2006 , both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. Background of the invention [0003] The present invention relates generally to chewing gum products and syrups used in the manufacture of chewing gum products. More particularly, the present invention relates to chewing gum compositions comprising sorbitol for use in the manufacture of pellet chewing gum. [0004] It is known to use polyols in chewing gum, such as sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, and other hydrogenated oligosaccharides. Polyols can be used as "sugar substitutes" in chewing gum. These sugar substitutes have the advantage that they do not ferment in the consumer's mouth to form products that can attack tooth enamel. Therefore, sorbitol and o...
