Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing chewing gum granules. The method comprises at least the steps of feeding a gum composition including at least gum base into an extruder (2), pressurizing the gum composition in the extruder, extruding the gum composition through a die plate (5), and cutting the extruded gum composition in a liquid filled chamber (4). The extruded gum composition comprises at least 71% Wt. gum base and the cut granules are included in compressed gum tablets. The invention further relates to a chewing gum product, and to a chewing gum granulating system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing chewing gum granules. The method comprises at least the steps of feeding a gum composition including at least gum base into an extruder (2), pressurizing the gum composition in the extruder, extruding the gum composition through a die plate (5), and cutting the extruded gum composition in a liquid filled chamber (4). Flavour is added to the composition in the extruder prior to the granulation into cooling liquid. The temperature and pressure of the flavoured gum composition is controlled so that the temperature is below 70° C. when the pressure is in the range from 1 to 5 hPa.

Abstract: The invention relates to 1 a chewing gum tablet (10, 20, 30, 40, 50) comprising at least two separate cohered chewing gum modules (11, 12; 21, 22, 23; 31, 32; 41, 42; 51, 52) at least one of said chewing gum modules comprising compressed gum base containing chewing gum granules, wherein the chewing gum tablet comprises a gum base content of at least 5% by weight of the tablel According to the invention, a compressed chewing gum tablet has been obtained featuring extremely impressing abilities of incorporating well-defined amounts of chewing gum ingredients combined with acceptable rheological properties of the complete tablet.

Abstract: The invention relates to a compressed chewing gum tablet including a chewing gum center, the gum center including a compression of gum base granules and chewing gum additives. The chewing gum additives comprise sweeteners and flavors. At least a first part of the gum base granules have granules of flavor incorporated gum base and at least a second part of the gum base granules have granules of conventional gum base.

Abstract: The invention relates to a layered chewing gum tablet comprising at least one layer containing gum base, wherein the at least one layer containing gum base comprises gum base in an amount of 35.5 to 86.5 weight-% based on the total weight of the layered chewing gum tablet and the gum base is present in compressed gum granules having an average diameter in the range of 0.1 to 2.5 mm. Preferably the layered chewing gum tablet also comprises at least one layer that is substantially free of gum base.
