Abstract: The invention relates to novel spill resistant formulations comprising either a weak base or a weak acid as the pharmaceutical ingredient, a liquid base, a clay and a water soluble cellulose ether. The clay and cellulose ether allow for a broader pH range into which the pharmaceutically active agent may be dispersed or dissolved, and therefore allows for easier preparation and formulation of the pharmaceutical composition.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel spill resistant formulations comprising two or more hydrocolloidal polymers and an effective amount of a pharmaceutically active agent. The formulations have a viscometric yield value of a semi-solid, and a pH and spill-resistant consistency allowing for easier preparation and use of the pharmaceutical composition.

Abstract: The present inventive composition concerns a composite delivery system having a substantially hydrophobic exterior comprising:(a) an agglomerated mixture of a core material selected from the group consisting of sweeteners, flavoring agents and mixtures thereof and a matrix wherein the matrix comprises:(i) about 0.5% to about 20% fat soluble lecithin;(ii) about 65% to about 90% of an edible material having a melting point in the range of about 25.degree. C. to about 100.degree. C. selected from the group consisting of (a) a fatty acid having an iodine value of about 1 to about 10; (b) natural waxes; (c) synthetic waxes; and (d) mixtures thereof,(b) about 0.5% to about 20% of a glyceride; and(c) a silicone based anti-foaming agent in a concentration of about 0.001% to about 0.5%; said composite having a melting point in the range of about 20.degree. C. to about 90.degree. C.

Abstract: Substantially anhydrous, non-staling chewing gum composition containing a homogenous premixture of a chewing gum base and a polyisobutylene having an average molecular weight of about 20,000 to about 100,000 in combination with a sweetening agent.

Abstract: A stabilized chewing gum product containing an L-aspartic acid derived sweetener and method for manufacture thereof are disclosed. The chewing gum product includes at least two portions, one of which includes Aspartame (APM) as an artificial, low calorie sweetener. A second portion can include a gum base and flavoring agents, preferably aldehyde flavorings. The portions are provided to opposite sides of a protective barrier film that is disposed between the two portions, whereby contact between the APM and the flavorings of the second portion is substantially reduced. The stability of APM and, consequently, of the chewing gum product is substantially increased.

Abstract: A stabilized chewing gum product containing an L-aspartic acid derived sweetener in its free form and method for manufacture thereof are disclosed. The chewing gum product includes at least two portions, one of which includes, in its free form, Aspartame (APM) as an artificial, low calorie sweetener. Also included in the APM-containing portion can be an organic acid which will maintain the pH of the portion at a level conducive to maintaining the stability of APM. A second portion can include flavoring agents, and optionally, at least one moisture-containing agent. The portions are arranged in surface-to-surface relationship whereby contact between the APM and the flavorings and/or moisture-containing agent of the second portion is substantially reduced. The stability of APM and, consequently, of the chewing gum product is substantially increased.
