AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The gum effectively reduces VSC levels by 40% immediately after chewing and maintains a 15% reduction one hour later, offering a synergistic effect that surpasses the individual contributions of zinc and magnolia bark extract alone, with organoleptic and economic benefits.

Problems solved by technology

However, chewing gums for use against the symptoms of halitosis, which are not generated artificially and use synergic formulations of said vegetable extracts with zinc salts, are not known.

[0094]Tables 3 below illustrates the chewing gum compositions according to the invention (example 3) and a reference compositions (example 2). Said gums take the form of filled pellets, consisting of three separate regions: filling (region without gum base), core (region with gum base), and coating (region without gum base).

[0095]The percentages are expressed in relation to the total of the single portion. The values in mg refer to a portion weighing 2.2 g which, in the example, corresponds to a single piece.

Abstract

The present invention relates to chewing gum containing a synergic combination of zinc and vegetable extracts containing polyphenols.Said chewing gum is useful in treating the symptoms of halitosis.

Description

[0001]This Non-Provisional Application is a Divisional Application of U.S. Ser. No. 14 / 431,880 filed on Mar. 27, 2015, which is a National Stage of PCT / IB2013 / 059341 filed on 14 Oct. 2013, which claims priority to and the benefit of Italian Application No. MI2012A001734 filed on 15 Oct. 2012, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.[0002]The present invention relates to chewing gums.PRIOR ART[0003]Halitosis is a condition that restricts the sufferer's social life. It is estimated that 15% to 40% of the population suffers from moderate halitosis (Rosing C K et al., Braz Oral Res 2011; 25(5):466-71). Bad breath is usually caused by the presence of volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) (Kleinberg I et al., Crit Rev Oral Biol. Med. 1990; 1(4):247-59). Said compounds are generated by catabolism of proteins by the oral bacteria (De Boever E H et al., J Am. Dent. Assoc 1995; 126(10):1384-93). The nose can perceive very low concentrations of VSC as an unpleas...
