  • Patent number: 12274782
    Abstract: The present invention relates cannabinoid chewing gums with improved flavor perception. The cannabinoid chewing gums include water-soluble chewing gum ingredients and water-insoluble gum base, one or more cannabinoids with an off-note taste, one or more high intensity sweeteners in an amount of 0.05 to 0.9% by weight of the cannabinoid chewing gum that partly serves to mask the taste of said unbound cannabinoids, one or more flavoring ingredients in an amount of 0.01 to 5% by weight of the cannabinoid chewing gum that in combination with the one or more high intensity sweeteners partly serves to mask the taste of said unbound cannabinoids, wherein the one or more cannabinoids is located in close proximity with the one or more high intensity sweeteners as well as the one or more flavoring ingredients.

  • Publication number: 20240065973
    Abstract: A tableted chewing gum composition for oral administration of cannabinoids includes a plurality of particles, including a first population of particles having water-insoluble gum base and a second population of particles having water-soluble chewing gum ingredients. The composition constitutes at least two layers, where a first layer of the composition has water-insoluble gum base and a second layer of the composition, which is cohered to and adjacent to the first layer, has water-soluble chewing gum ingredients. The second layer is free of water-insoluble gum base, and the composition includes one or more cannabinoids.
