The crude natural resins produced and imported in this way include the components in the resin (multi-tJMs, proteins, etc.) and the chemicals used during production.
Alternatively, due to chemical changes during distribution, etc., it has an off-taste and odor (hereinafter referred to as off-taste) such as a bitter and astringent taste and an oily rubber odor, so it cannot be used as a raw material for chewing gum as it is. Therefore, conventionally, crude natural resins have been purified by washing with water, trisodium phosphate, sodium carbonate, etc.
