"CHEWING GUMS AND RELATED PRODUCTS THAT PROVIDE BREATH FRESHENING CHARACTERISTICS" NBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to confectionery products. More Sspecifically, the present invention relates to products that provide breath freshening 0 10 properties and specifically chewing gums that provide breath freshening properties.
It is, of course, known to provide confectionery products for a variety of purposes. Typically these products provide a pleasant taste to the consumer. One such confectionery product is chewing gum.
Chewing gums that provide the consumer with a variety of flavors and characteristics are available. Typically chewing gum includes flavors and sweeteners.
Flavors are designed to be released as the consumer chews the gum. There are a variety of types of chewing gums. For example, chewing gum can be provided in a shredded form, stick form, slab, ball, pellet, or other shapes and designs. It is also known to provide chewing gum that includes an outer coating. Typically, the outer coating is a hard shell that is either designed to dissolve in the mouth of the consumer or can be chewed. An example of such a product is a gumball.
Due to the release of flavor from the chewing gum during the chew, at least initially chewing gum can provide not only a pleasant taste to the consumer, but also breath freshening properties. In this regard, the release of flavor can mask mouth odors commonly referred to or associated with bad breath. However, typically, there is not sufficient flavor in the chewing gum to mask bad breath for an extended period of time and/or to mask more extreme odors that may be produced in cases of severe bad breath or associated with the ingestion of certain foods or other products.
It is known to use zinc and copper salts to reduce oral malodor. Zinc and copper salts work by bonding with volatile sulfur compounds that can be associated with bad breath. A number of products have been utilized to deliver these salts to the oral cavity.
Such vehicles include mouthwash, candies, aerosol sprays, and even chewing gum.
"One of the issues associated with the use of these metallic salts is their short, persistence time in the mouth. Such salts are quickly washed away by salivation or the consumption of a beverage. Another difficulty with such salts is they have a metallic taste. Additionally, there is an astringency associated with the metal.
5 A number of attempts have been made at addressing the problems associated c with utilizing zinc and copper salts in oral compounds. One attempt is set forth in U.S.
C Patent No. 6,030,605. In this patent, an edible oil and a surfactant of the metal salt is Sutilized in a chewing gum. The attempt is to increase retention time of the metal salt CI in the oral cavity. However, when the system is mixed into a chewing gum mass, it is not effectively released due to the hydrophobicity of the gum nas, U.S. Patent No. 6,121,315 attempts to address the problem of the taste of zinc and copper salts. In this regard, this patent includes cooling agents intended to mask the zinc flavor in a candy vehicle. However, when mixed into a gum mass, the hydrophobic gum base may reduce the effectiveness of this masking effect.
There is therefore a need for an improved chewing gum product that can provide metallic salts that provide breath freshening characteristics.

The chewing gum center of the present invention, aside from including the ingredients set forth above, can be a variety of products. Chewing gum generally consists of a water insoluble gum base, a water soluble portion, and flavor. The water soluble portion dissipates with a portion of the flavor of the gum over a period of time during chewing. The gum base portion is retained in the mouth throughout the chew.
The insoluble gum base generally comprises elastomers, resins, fats and oils, softeners and inorganic fillers. The gum base may or may not include wax. Typically, gum base comprises approximately 20 to about 40% of the gum product. However, because in the present invention such a high level of coating may be used, the gum center is typically unusually small; otherwise the entire coating chewing gum piece would be too large for consumption. If a typical amount of gum base was used in the small gum center, it would result in an inadequate cud to masticate. Consequently, in the present invention, the base level is higher than normal. The insoluble gum base can constitute approximately 30% to about 90% by weight of the chewing gum, in an embodiment, the gum base comprises at least 50% of the chewing gum.
C In an embodiment, the chewing gum base of the present invention contains Sabout 20% to about 60% by weight synthetic elastomer, about 0% to about 30% by weight natural elastomer, about 5% to about 55% by weight elastomer plasticizer, about 4% to about 35% by weight filler, about 5% to about 35% by weight softener, and S 5 optional minor amounts (about 1% or less by weight) of miscellaneous ingredients such as colorants, antioxidants, etc.
Synthetic elastomers may include, but are not limited to, polyisobutylene with SGPC weight average molecular weight of about 10,000 to about 95,000, isobutylene- C1 isoprene copolymer (butyl elastomer), styrene-butadiene, copolymers having styrenebutadiene ratios of about 1:3 to about 3:1, polyvinyl acetate having GPC weight average molecular weight of about 2,000 to about 90,000, polyisoprene, polyethylene, vinyl acetate vinyl laurate copolymer having vinyl laurate content of about 5% to about by weight of the copolymer, and combinations thereof.
Preferred ranges for polyisobutylene are 50,000 to 80,000 GPC weight average molecular weight and for styrene-butadiene are 1:1 to 1:3 bound styrene-butadiene, for polyvinyl acetate are 10,000 to 65,000 GBC weight average molecular weight with the higher molecular weight polyvinyl acetates typically used in bubble gum base, and for vinyl acetate-vinyl laurate, vinyl laurate content of 10-45%.
Natural elastomers may include natural rubber such as smoked or liquid latex and guayule as well as natural gums such as jelutong, lechi caspi, perillo, sorva, massaranduba balata, massaranduba chocolate, nispero, rosindinha, chicle, gutta hang kang, and combinations thereof. The preferred synthetic elastomer and natural elastomer concentrations vary depending on whether the chewing gum in which the base is used is adhesive or conventional, bubble gum or regular gum, as discussed below. Preferred natural elastomers include jelutong, chicle, sorva and massaranduba balata.
Elastomer plasticizers may include, but are not limited to, natural rosin esters such as glycerol esters or partially hydrogenated rosin, glycerol esters of polymerized rosin, glycerol esters of partially dimerized rosin, glycerol esters of rosin, pentaerythritol esters of partially hydrogenated rosin, methyl and partially hydrogenated methyl esters of rosin, pentaerythritol esters of rosin; synthetics such as terpene resins
C
derived from alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, and/or d-limonene; and any suitable Scombinations of the foregoing. The preferred elastomer plasticizers will also vary depending on the specific application, and on the type of elastomer which is used.
Fillers/texturizers may include magnesium and calcium carbonate, ground limestone, silicate types such as magnesium and aluminum silicate, clay, alumina, talc, titanium dioxide, mono-, di- and tri-calcium phosphate, cellulose polymers, such as Swood, and combinations thereof.
SSofteners/emulsifiers may include tallow, hydrogenated tallow, hydrogenated N and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, cocoa butter, glycerol monostearate, glycerol triacetate, lecithin, mono-, di- and triglycerides, acetylated monoglycerides, fatty acids stearic, palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids), and combinations thereof Colorants and whiteners may include FD&C-type dyes and lakes, fruit and vegetable extracts, titanium dioxide, and combinations thereof.
The base may or may not include wax. An example of a wax-free gum base is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,286,500, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
In addition to a water insoluble gum base portion, a typical chewing gum composition includes a wafer soluble bulk portion and one or more flavoring agents.
The water soluble portion can include bulk sweeteners, high-intensity sweeteners, flavoring agents, softeners, emulsifiers, colors, acidulants, fillers, antioxidants, and other components that provide desired attributes.
Softeners are added to the chewing gum in order to optimize the chewability and mouth feel of the gum. The softeners, which are also known as plasticizers and plasticizing agents, generally constitute between approximately 0.5% to about 15% by weight of the chewing gum. The softeners may include glycerin, lecithin, and combinations thereof. Aqueous sweetener solutions such as those containing sorbitol, hydrogenated starch hydrolysates, corn syrup and combinations thereof, may also be used as softeners and binding agents in chewing gum.
Bulk sweeteners include both sugar and sugarless components. Bulk sweeteners typically constitute about 5% to about 95% by weight of the chewing gum, more typically, about 20% to about 80% by weight, and more commonly, about 30% to about -11- CI 60% by weight of the gum. Sugar sweeteners generally include saccharide-containing Z components commonly known in the chewing gum art, including but not limited to, Ssucrose, dextrose, maltose, dextrin, dried invert sugar, fructose, levulose, glactose, corn syrup solids, and the like, alone or in combination. Sugarless sweeteners include, but 5 are not limited to, sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, hydrogenated O starch hydrolysates, maltitol, erythritol, and the like, alone or in combination.
High-intensity artificial sweeteners can also be used, alone or in combination, with the above. Preferred sweeteners include, but are not limited to, sucralose,
O
C aspartame, salts of acesulfame, altitame, saccharin and its salts, cyclamic acid and its salts, glycerrhizinate, dihydrochalcones, thaumatin, monellin, and the like, alone or in combination. In order to provide longer lasting sweetness and flavor perception, it may be desirable to encapsulate or otherwise control the release of at least a portion of the artificial sweetener. Such techniques as wet granulation, wax granulation, spray drying, spray chilling, fluid bed coating, coacervation, and fiber extension may be used to achieve the desired release characteristics.
Combinations of sugar and/or sugarless sweeteners may be used in chewing gum. Additionally, the softener may also provide additional sweetness such as with aqueous sugar or alditol solutions.
If a low calorie gum is desired, a low caloric bulking agent can be used.
Examples of low caloric bulking agents include: polydextrose; Raftilose, Raftilin; Fructooligosaccharides (NutraFlora); Palatinose oligosaccharide; Guar Gum Hydrolysate (Sun Fiber); or indigestible dextrin (Fibersol). However, other low calorie bulking agents can be used.
A variety of flavoring agents can also be used, if desired. The flavor can be used in amounts of approximately 0.1 to about 15 weight percent of the gum, and preferably, approximately 0.2% to about 5% by weight. Flavoring agents may include essential oils, synthetic flavors or mixtures thereof including, but not limited to, oils derived from plants and fruits such as citrus oils, fruit essences, peppermint oil, spearmint oil, other mint oils, clove oil, oil of wintergreen, anise and the like. Artificial flavoring agents and components may also be used. Natural and artificial flavoring agents may be combined in any sensorially acceptable fashion.
The gum center can be prepared using a variety of different methods and machinery known in the art. For example, the formulation can be mixed using a sigma blade mixer. The center formulation may also be made by continuous processing equipment known in the art. Conventional sheeting and scoring machinery can be used to form and score the centers or the centers can be made on a forming machine that involves a drop frame and nitrogen cooling allowing spheres, ovals, and other shapes to be made.
By way of example and not limitations, examples of the present invention will now be given: Examples 1 and 2 Chewing gum centers were prepared by mixing the following ingredients and forming pillow shaped pellets.
