Chewing cum capable of releasing finely divided water-insoluble materials therefrom

Abstract: A chewing gum is provided which is capable of releasing into the oral cavity relatively large amounts of finely-divided water-insoluble therapeutic materials, which chewing gum includes a water-soluble phase formed of aqueous softener, and the finely divided therapeutic component to be released, said therapeutic component being coated with a water-soluble coating agent for preventing resorption of therapeutic component back into the gum base and, optionally, a first sweetener, dispersed throughout the aqueous softener, and a relatively water-insoluble phase formed of a plurality of separate and distinct masses suspended in and dispersed throughout the water-soluble phase, each of said masses formed of particles of gum base and, optionally, particles of a second sweetener, suchas mannitol and/or sorbitol or sugar, enveloped by particles of gum base. Upon chewing the above gum, the therapeutic component is, in fact, released in the oral cavity in relatively large quantities, together with the aqueous softener. The therapeutic component to be released may comprise orally beneficial materials, such as dicalcium phosphate, antacids, such as magnesium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, as well as vitamins, drugs and the like. In a preferred embodiment, the therapeutic component is coated with gum arabic to facilitate release from chewing gum.

Chewing gum containing sugar substitute

Abstract: A chewing gum is provided which has improved softness and flexibility retention, and prolonged shelf life and contains as a plasticizer and sweetener a combination of a hydrogenated starch hydrolysate and sorbitol, and optionally, mannitol, glycerin, and/or gum arabic. The above chewing gum has been found to have excellent extrudability properties and may be used in making sugarless bubble gums, standard sugarless gums as well as center-filled gums.

Process for preparing microcapsules by polymerization of urea and formaldehyde in the presence of gum arabic

Abstract: A capsule solution is prepared by polymerizing urea and formaldehyde in the presence of gum arabic to thereby form a urea-formaldehyde resin wall around a hydrophobic oily solution. The use of gum arabic reduces the viscosity of the capsule solution, the capsule solution which is obtained is particularly suitable for preparing pressure sensitive recording sheets.

Food covering composition, its preparation, and preservation of food freshness

Abstract: PURPOSE: To obtain the titled composition capable of forming dried film for presserving food freshness, by emulsifying fats and oils to an aqueous solution comprising a) a starch hydrolyzate, b) sodium caseinate or its mixture with natural paste in the presence of an emulsifying agent CONSTITUTION: a) 100ptswt of a starch hydrolyzate having a grape sugar equivalent not more than 25, obtained by hydrolyzing starch with an acid on an enzyme is blended with b) 25W100ptswt of sodium caseinate or its mixture with natural paste, eg, gum arabic, tragacenth gum, xanthan gum, guar gum to prepare an equeous solution, c) 1W15wt% based on fats and oils of an emulsifying agent, eg, fatty acid ester of sucrose, fatty acid ester of glycerol, soybeam lecithin, etc and d) 100W150ptswt of fats (or oils), eg, soybean oil, corn oil, beef tallow, coconut oil, etc are added to the aqueous solution which is emulisified to give the desired food covering composition COPYRIGHT: (C)1980,JPO&Japio
