Definitions

  • This invention relates to new chewable gum base compositions, to products made from such compositions, in particular to chewing gums, and to processes for preparing same.
  • Chewing gum is a popular consumer product, because of its taste and the chewing sensation that it provides.
  • conventional chewing gums when spent, have a strong tendency to stick to surfaces such as carpets and sidewalks, and retain their stickiness for a considerable period of time. They are also non-biodegradable. Accordingly, conventional chewing gums, if disposed of improperly, can cause an unsightly litter problem that is difficult to remove. This has led to restrictions on the sale of conventional chewing gums in some countries.
  • the present invention provides a non-toxic, chewable gum base composition containing casein, a modified casein, or both casein and a modified casein.
  • the gum base composition contains acid casein.
  • the gum base contains both acid casein and fine ground acid casein.
  • the gum base contains both acid casein and acid casein which has been polymerised using transglutaminase, or hydrolysed acid casein which has been polymerised using transglutaminase.
  • the gum base composition of the invention preferably includes an additional component which provides substance and extensibility.
  • this component is provided by polyvinyl acetate. It is particularly preferred that the polyvinyl acetate comprises a blend of polyvinyl acetates having differing molecular weights.

  • a non-toxic, chewable gum base having very good cohesion and chewing properties, can be formulated using casein or a modified casein, or a combination of casein and a modified casein.
  • chewing gums made from such gum base compositions have the advantage that they are sufficiently non stick that they can be easily removed from most surfaces including carpet, clothing and hair.
  • casein or modified casein contributes to the texture and chewing properties of the gum base composition by imparting a degree of "rubberiness", and also bulkiness, to the composition.
