Environment-friendly chewing gums containing rush piths and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses environment-friendly chewing gums containing rush piths and a preparation method thereof. The chewing gums contain rush pith particles. The chewing gums contain the rush pith particles with the mass percent of 0.2 percent to 1 percent. The rush pith particles are cylindrical and have the length of 0.1mm to 2mm and the diameter of 0.1mm to 2mm. The rush pith particles are prepared by the following steps: drying the rush piths in the sun and peeling to obtain stem piths; crushing the stem piths and irradiating for 20h to 30h under ultraviolet light. The chewing gums disclosed by the invention have great elasticity and a large friction area with tooth surfaces and have an oral cavity cleaning effect; after the chewing gums are chewed, the viscosity of gum-based residues and attachments can be reduced; the environment-friendly chewing gums have the beneficial effects of convenience for cleaning and short degradation time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an environment-friendly chewing gum containing rush cores and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Chewing gum produced by modern industrialization has a history of more than 200 years. While bringing fun and benefits to people, it has also brought great environmental protection problems. And because the gum base is contained in the chewing gum, after chewing, the gum base is insoluble in water and still has a strong viscosity, so it is difficult to remove it when it is discarded on the street or thrown into the trash can. In order to solve this problem, the common way is to add propylene glycol, glycerol, etc. to the chewing gum formula, or to add chemical polymers similar to rubber, etc., to promote the degradation of chewing gum by adding chemical additives. , some will reduce the elasticity of the chewing gum and reduce the user experience, while others will affect the taste. In addition, there are ...

Problems solved by technology

And because the gum base is contained in the chewing gum, after chewing, the gum base is insoluble in water and still has a strong stickiness. It is difficult to remove it when it is discarded on the street or thrown into the trash can.

In order to solve this problem, the common way is to add propylene glycol, glycerol, etc. to the chewing gum formula, or to add chemical polymers similar to rubber, etc., to promote the degradation of chewing gum by adding chemical additives. , some will reduce the elasticity of chewing gum and reduce the user experience, while others will affect the taste

In addition, there are some solutions to the above-mentioned problems by adding chewing gum residue wrapping paper on the chewing gum packaging box. This type of solution is ineffective for consumers who are not environmentally conscious.
