Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to chewing gum and in particular to chewing gum containing sweet protein.
  • Chewing gum generally comprises chewable gum base, flavor, and a sweetener. Recently, the sweetness and flavor characteristics of chewing gum have been improved by using high intensity artificial sweeteners which have desirable organoleptic qualities. Further, these artificial sweeteners are non-cariogenic and nontoxic.
  • High intensity sweeteners of recent interest for use in gums include aspartame, acesulfame K, cycla- ates, saccharin, sucralose, thaumatin, and monellin. Though most high intensity sweeteners currently known release relatively quickly from chewing gum, some, such as thaumatin, monellin, and like sweet proteins, do not completely release from the chewing gum upon salivation or during chewing. As a result, the flavor and sweet ⁇ ness of these high intensity sweeteners is not fully experienced.
  • Thaumatin is a proteinaceous substance ob ⁇ tained from the fruit of the tropical plant Thaumato- coccus daniellii which grows in tropical Africa. Thaumatin is about 2,000 to 3,000 times sweeter than - 2 -
  • sucrose sucrose and is known to have a lingering sweet after ⁇ taste.
  • the sweet protein monellin obtained from the fruit of the tropical plant Diosocoreo-plyllum cumminsii, has taste properties similar to thaumatin.
  • Thaumatin and monellin apart from their intense' sweetness, are recognized as high-potency flavor and sweetness adjuvants capable of potentiating sweetness and flavor in chewing gum compositions. See, for example, U.S. Patent No. 4,412,984 (van der Loo et al.) and U.S. Patent No. 4,228,198 (Burge et al.).
  • sweet proteins are known to be further suppressed when allowed to interact with ionic type ingredients such as salt. It is theorized that the sweet protein tends to become bound up in the gum base when mixed directly with the base or is denatured (i.e. experiences a reduced sweetening and/or flavor affect) when interacted with a salt, resulting in a reduction of their flavor and sweetness potentiating properties.
  • Chewing gums containing high intensity sweet proteins and salt which have enhanced flavor would therefore constitute an advance in the art. These gums would be readily accepted by the consuming public and enjoy commercial success.
  • a chewing gum composition having enhanced flavor.
  • the composition comprises chewing gum ingredients such as a chewable gum base and flavor, sweet protein, and salt selected from sodium chloride, potassium chloride, or mixtures thereof.
  • the sweet protein is physically separated from the salt in the gum.
  • the sweet protein and salt do not substantially interact before the gum is chewed.
  • the salt is preferably present in the chewing gum in amounts between about 10 to about 1000 parts per million (ppm) by weight of the chewing gum.
  • a method of manu ⁇ facturing chewing gum having enhanced flavor comprising chewing gum ingredients such as chewable gum base and flavor, sweet protein, and a salt selected from sodium chloride, potassium chloride, or mixtures thereof.
  • the method comprises adding the sweet protein and salt to the chewing gum ingredients in a form such that the sweet protein and salt are physically separated in the gum and accordingly do not substantially interact before the gum is chewed.
  • the salt is com ⁇ bined in an amount to yield between about 10 to about 1000 ppm by weight of the chewing gum.
  • the combination of salt and sweet protein as contemplated herein provide a chewing gum composition having enhanced flavor.
  • the sweet protein and salt physically separate in the chewing gum during storage, the salt is prevented from interacting with the sweet protein.
  • longer shelf life is also achieved.
  • Sweet proteins contemplated by the present invention include thaumatin, monellin, and other high intensity sweet proteins having similar release charac ⁇ teristics. Accordingly the present invention con ⁇ templates high intensity sweet proteins having a low release when mixed with other ingredients. Though a precise method for determining the release charac ⁇ teristics of thaumatin and monellin is not presently known; it is believed that the high intensity sweet proteins contemplated have less than about 20% by weight release from a gum after about ten minutes of chewing when admixed directly in their normal form.
  • the term ⁇ r normal form is intended to mean the form in which the sweet protein is normally added to chewing gum ingredients. The form may thus be liquid or powder, but most likely will be powder.
  • thaumatin and monellin are con ⁇ templated. It is to be understood, however, that other sweet proteins not specifically mentioned herein may also be employed in the present invention. Further ⁇ more, any combination of these high intensity sweet proteins may also be employed.
  • sweet proteins comprise between about 5 and about 1000 ppm by weight of the chewing gum.
  • sweet proteins comprise between about 40 and about 600 ppm by weight of the chewing gum. It should be understood, however, that the release characteristics of sweet protein vary with the method of manufacture of the chewing gum em ⁇ ployed.
  • the chewing gum when the sweet protein thaumatin is added to other chewing gum ingredients in the powdered form, the chewing gum preferably comprises between about 100 and about 1000 ppm and more prefer ⁇ ably between about 500 and about 600 ppm by weight of the chewing gum.
  • the chewing gum When applied to a chewable core center or combined as an emulsion, the chewing gum preferably comprises between about 5 and about 200 ppm and more preferably between about 75 and about 125 ppm by weight of the chewing gum.
  • the chewing gum when combined with a liquid center fill, the chewing gum preferably comprises between about 5 and about 100 ppm and more preferably between -about 40 and about 60 ppm by weight of the chewing gum.
  • the salt contemplated by the present in ⁇ vention may comprise sodium chloride, potassium chloride, or mixtures thereof. It is contemplated that the salt be of a food grade quality.
  • the salt may be obtained from any commercial manufacturer or may be processed by any of the methods known to those skilled in the art.
  • the chewing gum comprises the salt in amounts between about 10 and about 1000 ppm by weight of the chewing gum.
  • the chewing gum comprises salt in amounts between about 30 and about 100 ppm and most preferably between about 50 and about 80 ppm by weight of the chewing gum.
  • the chewing gum however should not contain salt in amounts greater than about 1000 ppm because this is the point where it is believed that the perception saltines by the consumer occurs. It is to be understood that this perception level may vary depending upon the type and strength of flavor em ⁇ ployed, the level of sweetness, and the perception of other ingredients in the chewing gum.
  • mild flavors such as mild fruits and various mild mint flavors may be combined with up to 1000 ppm salt in chewing gum before saltiness is perceived by the consumer.
  • Strong flavors, especially strong fruit flavors, in combination with acids and cinnamon type flavors may be combined with slightly higher amounts of salt without a saltiness perception by the consumer.
  • compositions containing acesulfame-K or fructose may possess a lower level of salt perception, possibly about 900 ppm.
  • the chewing gum of the present invention preferably comprises salt in an amount below the salt perception level which is determined by the particular combination of the chewing gum ingredients. It is presently believed that this perception level is about 1000 ppm by weight of the chewing gum.
  • a chewing gum composition com ⁇ prises a water soluble bulk portion and a water insoluble chewable gum base portion and, typically water insoluble flavors.
  • the water soluble portion dissipates with a portion of the flavor over a period of time during chewing.
  • the gum base portion is re ⁇ tained in the mouth throughout the chew.
  • the insoluble gum base generally comprises elastomers, resins, fats and oils, waxes,, softeners and inorganic fillers.

  • Com ⁇ monly employed waxes include paraffin, microcrystalline and natural waxes such as beeswax and carnuba.
  • the insoluble gum base constitutes between about 5 to 95 weight percent of the gum.
  • the insoluble gum base comprises about 10 to about 50 weight percent of the gum and more preferably about 20 to about 30 weight percent.
  • the gum base typically also includes a filler • component.
  • the filler component such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, talc, dicalcium phosphate and the like.
  • the filler may constitute be ⁇ tween about 5 to about 60 weight percent of the gum base.
  • the filler comprises about 5 to 50 weight percent of the chewing gum base.
  • Gum bases typically also contain softeners, including glycerol monostearate and glycerol tri ⁇ acetate. Further, gum bases may also contain optional ingredients such as antioxidants, colors, and emulsi- fiers. The present invention contemplates employing any commercially acceptable gum base.
  • the water soluble portion of chewing gum may further comprise softeners, sweeteners, flavors and combinations thereof.
  • Softeners are added to the chewing gum in order to optimize the chewability and mouth feel of the gum.
  • Softeners also known in the art as plasticizers or plasticizing agents, generally constitute between about 0.5 to about 15.0 weight percent of the chewing gum.
  • Softeners contemplated by the present invention include glycerin, lecithin, and combinations thereof.
  • aqueous sweetener solu ⁇ tions such as those containing sorbitol, hydrogenated starch hydrolysates, corn syrup and combinations thereof may be used as softeners and binding agents in gum.
  • sweeteners include both sugar and sugarless components.
  • Sugar sweeteners generally include saccharide contain ⁇ ing components commonly known in the chewing gum art which comprise but are not limited to sucrose, dextrose, maltose, dextrin, dried invert sugar, fruc ⁇ tose, levulose, galactose, corn syrup solids, and the like, alone or in any combination.
  • Sugarless sweeteners include components with sweetening charac ⁇ teristics but are devoid of the commonly known sugars and comprise but are not limited to sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, hydrogenated starch hydrolysates, maltitol, and the like, alone or in any combination. Also contemplated are relatively faster releasing sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose, acesulfame-K, cyclamates and saccharin.
  • any combination of sugar and/or sugarless sweeteners may be employed in the chewing gum.
  • the sweetener may be present in the chewing gum in whole or in part as a water soluble bulking agent.

  • the chewing gum of the present invention is manufactured by combining chewing gum ingredients such as chewable gum base and flavor, with sweet protein and salt which are in a form such that they are substanti ⁇ ally physically separate in the gum. Accordingly, the present invention contemplates employing any of the commonly known chewing gum manufacturing methods which achieve a substantial physical separation of the sweet protein and salt.
  • the chewing gum may be manufactured by adding the sweet protein and/or salt to various chewing gum ingredients in any commercially available mixer known in the art. After the ingredients have been thoroughly mixed, the gum mass is discharged from the mixer and shaped into the desired form such as by - 10 -
