Embodiment 1

[0074] The agglomerated aspartame product made from aspartame and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is prepared by the following steps: first mix 2500g aspartame and 440g HPMC in a Hobart mixer, then 1520g water Add slowly for about 1 hour until the mixture is slightly wet. The material was then removed, dried overnight (16 hours) at 170°C and ground. The agglomerated product thus obtained contains 85% active aspartame.

Embodiment 2

[0076]The extruded aspartame product is produced by extrusion from aspartame and medium MW polyvinyl acetate. The ground aspartame (200 g) and ground PVAC (800 g) were dry blended. Add 3g of magnesium stearate to this mixture to reduce sticking in the feeder. The mixture is then extruded into fibers or ribbons and cooled. After cooling, the product is ground and the extruded product provided contains 20% active aspartame.

Abstract

Chewing gum formulations including sodium pyrophosphate and encapsulated aspartame are disclosed. Methods for manufacturing chewing gum are also disclosed.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] The present invention generally relates to chewing gum. More specifically, the present invention relates to chewing gum containing aspartame. [0002] Of course, it is well known that preparing chewing gum includes many different ingredients. Some of these ingredients are used to add flavor or sweetness to the gum. One of the difficulties encountered when adding specific ingredients to chewing gum is that they are easily degraded. [0003] One of the ingredients that has recently been added to chewing gum formulations is a high intensity sweetener. One such high intensity sweetener is aspartame. Aspartame is a sweetener that has been approved for use in food products including chewing gum in the United States and many other countries. One of the difficulties of using aspartame in chewing gum is that it is easily degraded, aspartame degrades upon exposure to water. [0004] Another ingredient used in chewing gum products is sodium pyrophosphate. S...
