Plant fiber chewing gum and manufacture method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a plant fiber chewing gum and a manufacture method thereof. The plant fiber chewing gum comprises 75-85 percent of plant crude fiber yarn containing sugar and fiber powder, 10-21 percent of powder of a plant which can be used as both food and medicine, and 4-5 percent of additive. The manufacture method comprises the steps: stems and fruits of a plant, which are rich in crude fibers and are edible, are cleaned, divided, frozen, dried, flavored and reconstituted, and are prepared into crude fiber yarn and fiber powder which contain sugar after being pulverized and screened; the fiber yarn and the fiber powder are mixed with the powder of the plant which can be used as both food and medicine and the additive by the percentage, the mixture is put into a stirring mill to be stirred evenly and is extruded or pressed to be made into blocks of various shapes; the blocks are coated with chewing gum sugar-coat and are dried and packaged to obtain the finished product. The invention overcomes the defect that the chewing gum taking edible rosin glycerin ester as a chewable carrier pollutes environment after being eaten. The invention takes crude fiber of edible plants to replace the edible rosin glycerin ester, has good chewable capability, does not adhere after being eaten, can be degraded naturally and does not pollute the environment.
