Abstract: A method of producing granule type chewing gum without the necessity of using a cutting machine and expensive nitrogen gas for cooling the chewing gum material, departing from the shape of a standardized elongated rectangle. According to the method, hard gum base is melted by heating the gum base in a water bath, and the melted gum base is mixed with other chewing gum materials under predetermined mixing rates and temperatures to produce a mixture of chewing gum. The mixture of chewing gum is then granulated by stirring and solidifying the mixture of chewing gum.
