  • Method for manufacture of chewing gums with sectional motif patterns
    Patent number: 4855146
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method of producing a chewing gum having a sectional motif pattern. A pattern-forming confectionery material and a chewing gum are each fed through a cylindrical passageway having an expanded intermediate portion so as to absorb the variation in the rate of feed by said expanded portion, thus enabling continuous manufacture of a chewing gum product in the shape of a bar which presents the same motif pattern in sectional area throughout its whole length.
