Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the titled bubble gum giving no unnatural feeling during chewing, by physically distributing water-insoluble color chips compatible with the gum base sporadically in a bubble gum composed of a base such as vinyl acetate resin, a rubber component, a wax component, and an emulsifier. CONSTITUTION:The objective bubble gum can be prepared by distributing (A) the color chips obtained by compounding a colorant (preferably water-insoluble pigment) with a gum base composition component and if necessary an emulsifier and a filler, without using a kneading process, sporadically in (B) a bubble gum base obtained by compounding (i) a base consisting of a vinyl acetate resin and an ester gum (e.g. refined rosin) with (ii) a rubber component composed of one or more kinds of synthetic rubbers (e.g. polybutene) ro natural rubber, (iii) a wax component (e.g. petroleum mineral wax) and (iv) an emulsifier (e.g. glycerol fatty acid ester) at proper ratios. EFFECT:The effect to develop the colored pattern can be maintained stably since the color chips have high affinity to the bubble gum base, high resistance to peeling and separation, and low melting tendency in chewing.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a patterned bubble gum, and more particularly to a patterned bubble gum containing a colored material having an affinity for a bubble gum base.

[Prior art and its problems]

Several types of patterned bubble gum have been proposed in the past, which please the eyes of consumers by dispersing colored patterns on the surface when they are inflated or heated. for example,
Japanese Patent Publication No. 54-38189 filed by the present applicant discloses that bubble gum is made of a colored substance made by coloring water-insoluble and decorative materials such as raw silk, cotton, other vegetable fibers, gluten, animal intestines, fish scales, collagen, etc. We are proposing patterned bubble gum mixed throughout. With this patterned bubble gum, bubble gum whose pattern did not disappear during chewing was obtained.
On the other hand, as can be seen from the quality of these colored substances, they have the disadvantage that they give a slightly strange or foreign body sensation when biting. In addition, JP-A-58-134947 proposes an improvement to patterned bubble gum, in which the surface of a substance that may or may not have an affinity for the bubble gum base is coated with a layer of a hydrophobic substance to create a pattern. Make small pieces and knead them into bubble gum. However, the technique disclosed in this publication requires a coating step, making the entire process complicated and making it difficult to adjust the affinity by coating.

Further, even if the coating is well-formed, the coating film is destroyed during chewing of the bubble gum, and the effect of creating the pattern is halved, so the technique is impractical.

Therefore, as a result of intensive research to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, the present inventors have recently determined the composition of bubble gum, which has an affinity for bubble gum and is water-insoluble. If a certain color chip is made separately and these color chips are physically localized and distributed in bubble gum,
It has been discovered that it is possible to produce patterned bubble gum using a simple process that does not cause any discomfort during chewing and does not significantly reduce the pattern expression effect during chewing.

[Purpose of the invention]

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to eliminate discomfort during chewing,
To provide a patterned bubble gum in which the pattern expression effect is not reduced by chewing and the process of creating a colored pattern material (therefore, the entire manufacturing process) is simple.

Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing the patterned bubble gum that is simple, that is, does not require a process of coating with a coloring substance or a process of kneading.

[Key points of the invention]

According to the present invention, the above object is achieved by providing a bubble gum comprising a base material comprising a vinyl acetate resin and an ester gum, a component comprising at least one of synthetic rubber and natural rubber, a wax component, and an emulsifier. Then, a water-insoluble color chip that is made separately from the bubble gum and has an affinity for the gum paste is physically locally distributed. This is achieved by comprising a base material, a rubber component made of at least one of synthetic rubber and natural rubber, a wax component, a colorant, and, if necessary, an emulsifier and a filler.

Localized distribution of color chips in bubble gum is achieved by scattering color chips on the surface of the bubble gum, scattering color chips between the laminated layers of bubble gum sheets, taking the bubble gum as an outer shell, and filling a part of the center with color chips. or by a combination of these. That is, operations such as kneading are avoided.

The size of the color chip used is 7 to 60 mesos (0
, 25-2.83 m/m), preferably 12-2
4 n/m (0.71 to 1.41 m/m), particularly preferably about 1 n/m.

Furthermore, the color chips used are water-insoluble, have an affinity for bubble gum haze of 111, and are composed of at least one of vinyl acetate resin and up to 80 parts of ester gum, and up to 15 parts by weight of vinyl acetate resin and up to 80 parts of ester gum. at least one of polybutene as a synthetic rubber, 5 parts or less of polyisobutylene as a synthetic rubber, and 5 parts or less of natural rubber, 5 to 35 parts of wax, and 0.1 to 2 parts of synthetic rubber and/or It can consist of natural colorants and 0 to 5 parts of emulsifier.

Color chips are made by adding 100% of each of the above ingredients for color chips.
The mixture is heated and melted at a temperature of 130°C to 130°C, then cooled and solidified, and then crushed and sieved to obtain 7 to 60 mesoyu (0,
25-2.83 m/m), preferably 12-24
It is produced by forming the particles into particles having a particle size of about 1/2 m/m2 (0.71 to 1.41 m/m2), particularly preferably about 1/1/2+. That is, complicated processes such as coating are not required.

Hereinafter, the production of patterned bubble gum according to the present invention will be explained in detail.

In the present invention, the composition of the bubble gum itself is not particularly critical, and ingredients commonly used in the field may be appropriately blended. From the viewpoint of ensuring compatibility, a base material generally made of vinyl acetate resin and ester gum, a rubber component made of at least one of polybutene, polyisobutylene and natural rubber as synthetic rubber, a wax component, an emulsifier, Comprised of filler and
If necessary, a coloring agent may be added to color the entire bubble gum. Furthermore, natural resins such as chicle and jelutong can be used in the appropriate amount, and of course, conventional additives such as sweeteners and flavoring agents can also be used.

The method of manufacturing bubble gum itself using these ingredients is as follows:
Any method well known in the art can be used, so a description thereof will be omitted.

Next, the color chips to be locally distributed in the bubble gum are colored water-insoluble substances that have an affinity for the bubble gum base, and are basically composed of a coloring agent and the components of the gum base. The coloring agent can be a synthetic coloring agent or a natural coloring agent, or a combination thereof, and is of course one that is acceptable as a food additive.

Color chip composition components are generally similar to bubble gum components and can consist of vinyl acetate resin, ester gum, natural rubber, synthetic rubber (polybutene, polyisobutylene), wax, emulsifier, i.e. vinyl acetate resin and At least one type of ester gum is used as a base material, and this is mixed with a physical property adjusting agent consisting of at least one type of polybutene, polyisobutylene, and natural rubber, wax, and, if necessary, an emulsifier.

Adjust the physical properties to obtain the desired properties. The vinyl acetate resin used as the
-500, especially 200-300, and ester gums include Ohh rosin, partially or fully hydrogenated rosin, polymerized rosin, dehydrozine ester gum,
Preferably, the first two can be used. Next, natural rubber with an average molecular weight of 500 to 5,50 is used as a physical property adjusting material.
a rubber component selected from the group consisting of polybutene with an average molecular weight of 50,000 to 400,000, preferably 50,000 to 70,000; , any wax such as mineral, vegetable, or synthetic wax, preferably mineral petroleum wax, and, if necessary, glycerin fatty acid ester, sucrose fatty acid ester, propylene glycol fatty acid ester, lecithin, sorbitan fatty acid ester, polyester. J
! Mix and use. The usage ratios of these components for producing color chips are as follows: Vinyl acetate resin 0 to 65 parts (weight) Ester gum 0 to 80 Polybutene 0 to 15 Polyisobutylene θ to 5 Natural Rubber 0-5 ・ Wax 5-35/1 Coloring agent 0.1-2 ・ Emulsifier θ ~ 5 ・ The blending ratio of each of the above ingredients should be such that it shows compatibility with the bubble gum base and does not cause any discomfort when chewing. It was chosen so that it would not be compatible with the bubble gum base.

The color chip having the above composition can be manufactured as follows. First, put the above ingredients into a 21-by-1 pot or a general heating mixing pot and bring to a boiling point of 110 to 1.
Heat and melt mix at a temperature of 30°C.

The order of addition is the one with the highest softening point, and the colorant is added last. The molten mixture is then taken out to conventional equipment such as a pallet, drum, or cooling container, and cooled to room temperature (room temperature) to solidify. The solidified colored mass is crushed using a conventional hammer set or a knife-type crusher, and then a color chip of a predetermined particle size is obtained using a sieving machine. The particle size range is generally 7 to 60 mesos (0.25 to 2.83 n+
/m), preferably 12 to 24 meshes (0,71
~1.41 m/m), particularly about 1 m/m. Therefore, in order to ensure a predetermined particle size, it is not preferable to use a pulverizer.

The colorant used in the color chip is preferably a water-insoluble pigment, since it is mixed with the anhydride during heating and melting mixing of each component as described above. For example, a powdered pigment that develops color by dispersion (such as a food coloring compounded with aluminum lamley-3t) is most suitable, and an oil-soluble pigment is preferred because it can develop color by dispersion. Since the material of the color chip is anhydrous, water-soluble dyes should be avoided because they have poor coloring properties.

Finally, the karachi created as above.

According to the invention, three methods are possible for incorporating the bubble gum into bubble gum. Specifically, (1) a method in which bubble gum is sprinkled on the surface of the bubble gum, (2) a method in which bubble gum is formed into a sheet, multiple sheets are laminated and color chips are inlaid between the laminated layers, and (3) a method in which the bubble gum is used as an outer shell. , a method of filling a part of the center with a color chip, or these il+, +21. +31 combinations are possible. In addition to these methods, it is also within the scope of the present invention to use any method for locally distributing color chips in bubble gum.

However, since the color chips are adjusted so that they do not feel strange and are compatible with the bubble gum base, and are similar in nature to bubble gum hese, they cannot be kneaded using a gum kneading mixer according to the conventional method for gum. Should be avoided. If it is 1iiJ, the color chips will blend into the bubble gum and the pattern expression effect will be reduced. Therefore, in the present invention, the bubble gum itself is prepared by kneading, and separately prepared color chips are locally distributed thereon without kneading.

[Embodiments of the invention]

The present invention will be explained below with reference to Examples.

Color chips were made using the following formulation: Vinyl acetate (
H fat 63 parts (weight) Glycerin fatty acid ester 3 Wax 31 Polyisobutylene 3 Pigment 0.8 ・Total 100.8 Each component other than the dye was put into a mixing pot heated to 100-130'C and melted and mixed. do. After stirring thoroughly, a dye is added to color the mixture. Next, the colored material is taken out and cooled to solidify. After finishing the powder, it is crushed with a crusher and sieved with a sieve to obtain color chips with a particle size of 12 to 24 mesh. Three colors of blue, orange, and green were used as pigments, and the color chips of each color were mixed and added to bubble gum.Ordinary uncolored bubble gum was kneaded by a conventional method and then put into a molding machine. After extrusion using an extruder, the color chips prepared above were sprinkled onto the foam, passed through a rolling roll to fix the color chips to the bubble gum, and then cut to obtain patterned bubble gum.

Furthermore, after shaking the color chips H), they were piled up and rolled to obtain a patterned bubble gum in which the color chips were locally distributed between the multilayer bubble gum sheets. Bubble gum with a color chip in the center was also created by extruding bubble gum into a hollow rope shape using a molding machine and filling it with color chips.

Color chips were prepared by mixing the following ingredients: Ester gum 7 parts (weight) Vinyl acetate resin 8.5 Polybutene 6 Polyisobutyne o, 4 Natural rubber 2.74 Wax, 7 Glycerin fatty acid ester o, 4. Colorant o, 8. Total 100.5 Each of the above components was treated in the same manner as in Example 1 to create a color depth, and in the same manner as in Example I, three types of patterned bubble gum were obtained.

Odifference 114- A color chip was created using the following formulation: Ester gum 70 parts (weight) Wax 17 Polybutene 13 Color pigment 0.5~ Total 100.5 7 6 Color was prepared from each of the above ingredients using the same procedure as in Example 1. Chips were made and patterned bubble gum was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1.

” - When the patterned bubble gum prepared in each example was eaten as usual, there was no strange feeling and it did not blend into the gum hese, and even after chewing for a long time, the color chips peeled off and fell off from the gum hese. Therefore, when inflated, color chips were observed to be dispersed in the membrane to form a colorful pattern.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, since the raw material for the color chips is selected from bubble gum raw materials, the composition has an affinity for the bubble gum base, and has the disadvantages of conventional patterned bubble gum.
That is, there is no peeling or melting from the gum hese, and there is no strange feeling when eating, that is, there is no foreign body sensation.

More specifically, the following advantages are obtained by the present invention: 8. (1) There is no discomfort when removing bubble gum, and there is less damage to the color chips.

(2) Even if the sugar in the gum is eluted by the balloon gano and only the gum haze is left, the color chip does not peel off or fall off, and the balloon rides well on the crotch.

(3) Since there is little compatibility between the gum haze and the color chips caused by the bubble gum, the effect of creating a colored pattern on the balloon does not deteriorate.

(4) Since the coloring method is simply mixing pigments, the process is simple, and the production of color chips is simple because there is no need for a coating process as in, for example, JP-A-58-134947.
