Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for the preparation of a coated chewing gum and the use of one or more active substance(s) in solid form in the coating of a coated chewing gum. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

[0002] Coated chewing gum is prepared by coating a core of chewing gum with a number of layers of coating. The coating most often takes place in rotating coating kettles in which cores of chewing gum are rotated and coating suspension is applied in small portions that disperse evenly over the surfaces of the cores. Subsequently, the coated cores are dried by means of air.
