Gum center formulations made with aqueous liquid sorbitol are higher in moisture content, and have a water activity of approximately 0.65 to about 0.80 or 65 to 80% ERH. These centers have a tendency to dry out, so the center and coating become hard and brittle.

  • Instron data was also collected from Examples 1 , 2, and 3. These samples were measured for their initial hardness at certain time intervals. Samples were measured by driving a needle into them to a depth of 0.10 inches at a speed of 0.2 inches per minute to generate a characteristic stress/strain curve. The maximum height (maximum load) of the curve is proportional to the work done in penetrating the pellet coating and is a measure of the initial hardness of the pellet coating.

Such changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and without diminishing its intended advantages. It is therefore intended that such changes and modifications be covered by the appended claims.
