Problems solved by technology

Although consumers can easily dispose of chewed cuds in the trash, some consumers intentionally or unknowingly dispose of cuds on sidewalks and other environmental surfaces
The properties of traditional gum bases can cause improperly discarded cuds to adhere to environmental surfaces and subsequently be trampled by walkers into embedded flats that can be extremely difficult to remove

Embodiment 2

[0093] Example 2: Having a soft middle block comprising poly-6-methyl-ε-caprolactone and comprising T g A second A-B-A form triblock copolymer of hard end blocks of polylactide below 70°C was produced according to co-pending application US 61 / 241080. The molecular weight of the polymer blocks is 33-98-33 kDa. Combining this polymer with a diblock copolymer having the same A and B blocks but with a molecular weight of 5.5-9 kDa and the chewing gum ingredients of Table 1 produced a chewing gum designated as Example 2.

Embodiment 3

[0095] Example 3: Chewing gum containing cross-linked polyacrylate microparticles was prepared according to Table 2. This chewing gum was named Example 3.

[0096]

Embodiment 4

[0097] Example 4: Preparation of low molecular weight polyethylene containing high levels (Honeywell 9A, a weight average molecular weight of about 13,500 Daltons, and a polydispersity of about 2.0), and was used in the production of chewing gum according to Table 3. This chewing gum was named Example 4.

Abstract

A chewing gum, when chewed, produces a cud having improved removability from environmental surfaces by virtue of its extensional viscosity strain hardening parameter. Specifically, the cud has a extensional strain hardening parameter of less than zero or greater than 2.0.
