  • Patent number: 5811080
    Abstract: The method of manufacturing comprises the steps of: (a) preparing a mixture of a favor system, one or more humectants, and one or more aqueous carrier materials; (b) adding tetrasodium pyrophosphate and calcium peroxide, all at once or in portions, under conditions wherein less than about 20% of the total pyrophosphate and calcium peroxide are dissolved in the mixture; and wherein further any remaining aqueous carrier materials not added to the mixture during step (a) are added in whole or in part in step (b) or thereafter, either by themselves or with any remaining amount of the tetrasodium pyrophosphate or calcium peroxide, under conditions such that less than about 20% of the total pyrophosphate and calcium peroxide are dissolved in the mixture; (c) heating the mixture to a temperature range of from about 38.degree. C. (100.degree. F.) to about 71.degree. C. (160.degree. F.) and preferably to a temperature range of from about 52.degree. C. (125.degree. F.) to about 57.degree. C. (135.degree. F.
