  • Publication number: 20070248717
    Abstract: A method for producing a confection such as chewing gum, as well as the confection so produced, incorporates a blend of physiological cooling agents, including menthyl glutarate and one or more of L-isopulegol and p-menthane-3,8-diol. In another embodiment the blend of physiological cooling agents is made in a modified release structure. The modified release/cooling agents combination is preferably obtained by physically modifying the properties of the combination of cooling agents by coating and drying. When incorporated into gum, these particles are adapted to enhance the shelf stability of the flavor and/or produce a modified release when the gum is chewed. In another embodiment, the blend of physiological cooling agent is included in a confection coating.
