Abstract

- 8 -PREPARATION OF CHEWING GUMS ABSTRACT Chewing gum and/or bubble gum having a soft, smooth texture without crystals detectable on the tongue is provided by a formulation which includes a mixture of saccharose and glucose as the sweetening agent.

PREPARATION OF CHEWING GUMS

Technical Fleld The present invention relates to chewing gums, whether of the classic "chewing-gum" type or the in-flatable type usually called "bubble-gum."
Summary of Invention The invention, therefore, resides in:
- A me-thod for the preparation of chewing gum which consists in mixing with the base gum - general-ly supplemented in known fashion, with coloran-t, flavor and/or plastifier - a concentrated syrup con-stituted essentially of saccharose and glucose.
- By way of new industrial product a chewing gum of the "chewing-gum" or "bubble-gum" type contain-ing, in addition to the base gum - generally sup-plemented in known fashion with colorant, flavor and/or plastifier - saccharose and glucose, and hav-ing a smooth texture without crystals detectable on the tongue, and soft to attack.
The glucose is generally commercial glucose which will be defined below.
Detalled Description Preferably, in -the process according to the in-vention, we mix, slowly and with heat, the con-centrated syrup of saccharose and sugar, the base - gum and, perhaps, the additive such as colorant, flavor and/or plastifier, ue cool partially, conduct a malaxing which insures a more intimate mixture and an aeration of the product, we continue cooling, we extrude the product and complete the cooling, before conditioning.
.- 5 In the process according to the invention, we advantageously apply from about 10% to about 30 base gum and a ratio of saccharose to dry commercial glucose comprised between about 45/55 and about 85/15, the water being comprised between about 2 and about 12%.
Following the mixing, we observe an extremely . fine partial crystallization, not detectable on the tongue of the consumer.
We will now describe, by way of illustration of the invention, which is no way limiting, examples of application of the invention.
EXAMPLE I

E'ORMULATION
Saccharose 54.35 Dry commercial glucose 24.00 Water 6.00 Base gum 15.00 Plastifier 0.25 Flavor 0.40 : 25 In the formulation the ratio of saccharose to dry commercial glucose is about 70/30.

EXAMPLE II

FORMULATION %

Saccharose 39.30 Dry commercial glucose 48.05 7~.~3 Water 2.00 Base gum 10.00 Flavor 0-40 In this formulation, the ratio of saccharose to dry com~ercial glucose is about 45/55.

EXAMPLE III

FORMULATION %

Saccharose 48.75 Dry commercial glucose 8.60 Water 12.00 Base gum 30.00 Plastifier 0.25 Flavor 0.40 In this formulation the ratio of saccharose to dry commercial glucose is about 85/15.
In these formulations: - The base gum is the product, insoluble in saliva, constitu-ting the "framework" of the "chewing-gum" or "bubble~gum" com-posed primarily of a mixture of elastomers, resins and waxes, natural or synthetic. - The plastifier is the product making it possible to obtain better sta~
bility for the chewing gum by improving the hardness to attack, such as, for e~ample, a vegetable oil or fat, lecithin, glycerin or similar product.
- Commercial glucose is a mixture of glucose, maltose, maltotriose and tetraose, as well as the higher polymers of glucose such as the dextrins, which can be obtained, for example, by hydrolysis of corn s-tarch.

: . . .

By way of non-limiting example, we will now describe the steps in the manufacture of a chewing gum according to the invention, obtained by the process according to the invention~
We mix a syrup of commercial glucose (which can be replaced by water and commercial glucose powder), crystallized sugar and water - in particular in the proportions indicated in one of the examples 1 to 3 above - with heat (at about 50 - 60C).
We evaporate this mixture in a large kettle, heated for example by steam, to the final boiling point until reduction to the desired water content is reached.
The concentrated syrup thus obtained is poured into a mixing tank or vessel having at least one agitator, with the base gum, hot or cold, in a pro-portion corresponding in particular to one of the examples ci-ted above.
The mixture is made up slowly for about 5 to 10 minutes, while adding the other ingredients, namely colorant, flavor and/or plastifier.
We pour the paste thus obtained on a cooling table and let it stand until a temperature of about 60C is obtained in the center of the product. The consis-tency of the produc-t is then that of a rela-tively stiff paste.
We cut the paste thus cooled into wide strips which are loaded onto a beater with arms, which is started up to produce an intimate mixture of the different particles, perhaps producing an incipient crystallization of the sugar by mechanical action, and to aerate the product slightly. This beating is carried out for a few minutes, for example 2 to lO
minutes approximately.

We then remove the beaten paste from the arm beater and dispose it on a cooling -table on which the crystallization which may have begun, can con-tinue.
From this paste we form a sausage, - either in an extruder if the product has cry-stallized, - or in a rolling mill with fluted cylinders if the product has not crystallized.
AftPr cooling, we package the chewing gum by means of a classic conditioning machine.
It goes without saying, and is clear, moreover, rom the foregoing, that the invention is in no way limited to those of its modes of application and em-bodiment which have been more specially envisaged;
; on the contrary it embraces all variation thereof.
