Embodiment 1-19

[0130] The following examples illustrate the comparison of cooling compositions prepared according to the method of the present invention with conventional cooling compositions.

[0131] The formulations of the cooling compositions of Examples 1-8 are shown in Table 1 below. The formula was calculated to include 50% menthol from peppermint oil.

[0132] Example

[0133] The cooling composition of Examples 1-8 is added to the candy bulking agent to form a composition according to a conventional production method. Specifically, the cooling composition was added to a conventional starch syrup / sugar mix, which was then added to a conventional non-SBR chewing gum base. Relative odor freshness (cooling), bitterness, and overall performance of the chewing gum compositions at 1 minute and 5 minutes were evaluated by an expert panel in random order, and the results were pooled and averaged (on a scale of 0-100; 0 being no odor freshness; 100 means strong freshness of the sm...

Embodiment 20-35

[0139] The following examples illustrate the comparison of sugar alcohol containing cooling compositions prepared according to the method of the present invention with conventional cooling compositions.

[0140] According to the production method of the conventional candy of Examples 1-8 in Table 1, the cooling composition of Examples 20-35 was added to the candy bulking agent to form a composition. Its formulation is shown in Table 3 below.

Abstract

The present invention is a directed at chewing gum compositions having long-lasting breath freshening perception without bitterness comprising (a) a gum base; (b) a bulking agent; and (c) a cooling composition; wherein the cooling composition comprises menthol and an N-substituted-p-menthane carboxamide, wherein the carboxamide may be represented by the formula: wherein R1 and R2 may be independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and an alkyl group containing from 1 to 25 carbon atoms, with the proviso that when R1 is hydrogen, R2 may be an aryl group containing from 6 to 10 carbon atoms and, R1 and R2 when taken together, may be a cyclic or heterocyclic group containing up to 25 carbon atoms; and wherein the N-substituted-p-menthane carboxamide is present in the cooling composition in an amount from about 0.001% to about 6%, and menthol is present in the cooling composition in an amount from about 94% to about 99.999%. The present invention is also directed at confectionery compositions containing the novel cooling composition and methods for preparing the novel chewing gum and confectionery compositions.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] 1. field of invention [0002] The present invention relates to edible compositions with long-lasting freshness and without bitterness. The edible composition comprises a cooling composition comprising menthol and N-substituted p-menthane carboxamides. The cooling composition can be used in a wide variety of food products, such as in chewing gum compositions and hard and soft candies. [0003] 2. Background technique [0004] Edible compositions such as chewing gum and confectionary products are commonly used to improve the consumer's mouth odor and provide a cleansing, cooling and refreshing mouthfeel. When the flavor is strong, most chewing gums and other confectionary products are able to provide at least a borderline fresh smell for the first few minutes; however, this cool mouthfeel does not last for a long time, such as up to 30 minutes. [0005] Specifically, chewing gum does not provide a fresh taste for a significant period of ...
