Abstract: A process for making a nicotine-comprising chewing gum by (i) dispensing a powder portion from a gum-base-comprising powder, (ii) optionally shaping said powder portion into a powder aggregate, and (iii) applying sufficient electromagnetic energy (EM energy) to said powder portion or said powder aggregate to transform said powder portion or said powder aggregate into said chewing gum, whereby said EM energy is Radio Frequency (RF) energy, MicroWave (MW) energy, InfraRed (IR) energy or UltraViolet (UV) energy or combinations thereof. The invention also features a chewing gum made by such process. The chewing gum may comprise one or more deposits.
