Embodiment 1

Example 1: Center Filled Confectionery Composition

[0193] Center-fill compositions were prepared by combining the components as set forth in Examples A-D in Table 1 . The amounts included are based on the weight percent of the total center-fill composition.

Table 1 - Center Fill Compositions

[0194] Gummy candy shell layer compositions were prepared by combining the components set forth in Table 2 in Examples E-J. Included amounts are based on weight percent of the total gum shell composition.

Table 2 - Gummy Candy Shell Composition

[0195] Coating compositions in the form of granules were prepared by combining the components set forth in Table 3 in Examples K-O. The amounts included are based on the weight percent of the total coating composition.

Embodiment 2

Example 2: Center-Filled Chewing Gum Composition with Granular Acid Coating

[0207] Center-filled chewing gum compositions were prepared by combining any of the chewing gum compositions in Examples A-D (center-fill compositions) in Table 1 and Y-FF in Table 7 (chewing gum region combinations). material) and the combination of components set forth in K-O (coating composition) in Table 3.

[0208] Gum region compositions were prepared by combining the components set forth in Examples Y-FF in Table 7. The amounts included are based on the weight percent of the total gum region composition.

Table 7: Gum District Composition

* The gum base may include 3%-11% by weight of fillers such as, for example, talc, dicalcium phosphate, and calcium carbonate (the amount of filler in the gum base is based on the gum region combination For example, in compositions Y-FF above, if the gum region composition includes 5% bulking agent, the amount of gum base may be 5 less than the rang...

Embodiment 3

Example 3: Chewing gum composition with acidic granular coating

[0213] Chewing gum compositions were prepared by combining the components as set forth in GG-NN (chewing gum composition) in Table 8 and K-O (coating composition) in Table 3.

[0214] Gum compositions were prepared by combining the components set forth in Example GG-NN in Table 8. The amounts included are based on the weight percent of the total gum region composition.

Table 8: Chewing Gum Compositions

* The gum base may include 3%-11% by weight of fillers such as, for example, talc, dicalcium phosphate, and calcium carbonate (the amount of filler in the gum base is based on the gum region combination For example, in compositions Y-FF above, if the gum region composition included 5% bulking agent, the amount of gum base would be 5 less than the range stated in the table %, i.e. from 23-37%).

[0215] Compositions for gum bases are prepared by first combining talc (if present) with the gum base un...

Abstract

The present invention relates to coating compositions, products containing the same and methods for preparing. More specifically, the compositions of the present invention may include an acid blend. In some embodiments, the compositions may be in particulate form and include at least one encapsulated ingredient.

Description

Field of Invention [0001] The present invention is generally directed to coating compositions and products comprising such coating compositions. More particularly, the present invention relates to coating compositions comprising acid blends or coating compositions in granular form comprising at least one encapsulated ingredient. Background of the Invention [0002] Coatings can be added to confectionery and chewing gum compositions to provide additional color, flavor, and texture. A desirable coating includes an acidic component that provides a sour taste upon consumption. Such coatings may be present as solid or granular coatings. [0003] To provide the desired sour taste, citric acid has typically been used to provide a sour taste. However, when a very strong acid sensation is desired, significantly increased amounts of citric acid must be included. It is desirable to provide a suitably strong acid feel by including different acidic components. [0004] Coatings in p...
