  • Method of optimizing texture and processability of chewing gums and compositions made therefrom
    Patent number: 4803083
    Abstract: A method of optimizing texture and processability of chewing gum compositions is disclosed. The method includes the steps of making a sample batch of chewing gum containing powdered sorbitol, making subsequent batches of gum also using powdered sorbitol, using at least two types of powdered sorbitol in one or more of the samples batches and varying the ratio between the at least two types of powdered sorbitol between sample batches in order to optimize texture and processability of the gum. The types of powdered sorbitol may differ in their particle size distribution or particle morphology. Methods of manufacturing gum and gum compositions using optimized ratios of powdered sorbitol are also disclosed.
