Temporary humidification or heat treatment softens hard gum before extrusion or cutting, reducing equipment strain while keeping product consistency.
Water-insoluble polysaccharides and bamboo fibers replace mineral fillers in gum bases while preserving viscosity, tack control, and compliance.
Plant cell fermentation replaces rainforest harvesting to produce consistent polyisoprene and triterpenoid gum base at commercial scale.
A friable sugar alcohol coating gives pellet gum a soft core, crisp bite, rapid mouth cooling, and distinct flavor transitions.
See how pectin with sugar or polyols plasticizes a natural gum base, reducing excessive hardness and improving chewability.
