AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Additionally, the continued availability of these food-grade elastomers has become uncertain due to fluctuations in oil prices and supplies
Although some non-petroleum derived elastomers have been proposed, issues of cost, supply, texture, flavor, or use of potentially toxic solvents and reagents have prevented the widespread implementation of these alternative elastomers

Embodiment

[0088] The following examples of the invention and comparative formulations illustrate certain aspects and embodiments of the invention, but do not limit the invention described and claimed. Amounts listed are in percent by weight, based on the total weight of the gum base or chewing gum, as the case may be.

[0089] Two edible oil elastomer (EOE) samples were prepared from epoxidized soybean oil and citric acid according to the method of US 2015 / 0087732. The polymeric oils were tested and found to have the properties shown in Table 1.

[0090]

[0091] Gum bases were prepared from the EOE of Example 1 according to the recipe in Table 2.

[0092]

[0093] Chewing gums were manufactured according to the recipes in Tables 3, 4 and 5 using the gum bases of Examples 3-7.

[0094]

[0095]

[0096]

[0097]

[0098] The chewing gums were evaluated in informal sensory tests and the comments reported in Table 6.

Abstract

A chewing gum base which contains an edible Oil Elastomer prepared by reacting an epoxidized edible oil with a multifunctional acid.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to chewing gum and chewing gum base. More specifically, the present invention relates to improved formulations for chewing gum bases and chewing gums containing elastomers synthesized by polymerizing epoxidized edible oils with polyfunctional nucleophiles such as: carboxylic acids, anhydrides, alcohols, Amines, amino acids, hydroxycarboxylic acids and substances having mixtures of the aforementioned functional groups (carboxylic acid, hydroxyl, amino). Background technique [0002] The main components of chewing gum are usually a water-insoluble gum base part and a water-soluble bulking agent part, which usually contains a bulking agent and a small amount of secondary components, such as flavors, colorants, water-soluble softeners, chewing gum Emulsifiers, acidifiers and sensates. Typically, the water soluble fraction, sensates, and flavors dissipate during chewing, while the gum base remains in the mouth throughout the ...
