  • High speed coating of gum cores
    Patent number: 7537792
    Abstract: A system and process for coating pieces or cores of confectionery material, such as chewing gum, with a sugar-based coating or a sugarless-based coating. The solid content of the sugar or sugarless material in the syrup solution is increased, thus reducing the water content and allowing the successive coating layers to be dried more quickly. The syrup solution is maintained at an elevated temperature in order to prevent the syrup solids from precipitating or crystallizing out of solution.

  • MULTI-REGION CHEWING GUM COMPOSITION INCLUDING SATURATED PARTICULATE POLYOLS
    Publication number: 20090028998
    Abstract: The present invention relates to chewing or bubble gum compositions that include a first region composition and a second, or gum, region adjacent to or surrounding the first region. The first region composition may be a center-fill co-position, such as a liquid-fill composition. The second region includes a particulate polyol having a reduced particle size and which is saturated by a syrup material, such as a polyol syrup, glycerin or the like. The addition of the particulate polyol to the second region provides stability to the chewing gum, composition by reducing the problem of migration of the first region composition into the second region. The multi-region chewing gum composition also may include a coating region which surrounds or covers the second region.
