Any type of sweetener can be used in compositions of the present invention including bulk sweeteners and high intensity sweeteners.
  • the amount of sweetener used will vary depending on the sweetener and the overall desired aesthetics but levels used should be high enough such that the desired level of sweetness is achieved independent from the flavour level achieved from the flavouring agents.
  • the chewing gums are, however, preferably sugar free.
  • sugar free is commonly used with respect to chewing gum and thus would be understood by one skilled in the art in the field of confectionery.
  • Suitable examples of bulk sweeteners for use in compositions of the present invention include monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
  • Preferred bulk sweetening agents are sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol, maltitol, isomalt, hydrogenated starch hydrolisate, inulin, and other non-carigenic edible polyols such as glycerin and erythritol and mixtures thereof.

  • the chewing gum composition may be in the form of a chiclet or other form that contains a outer coating or shell around the central portion or gum base of the chewing gum.
  • the outer coating is preferably hard or crunchy.
  • the outer coating will essentially consist of sorbitol, maltitol, xylitol, isomalt, and other crystallisable polyols.
  • the coating will typically consist of several opaque layers, such that the gum core is not visible through the coating itself, which can optionally be covered with a further one or more transparent layers for aesthetic, textural and protective purposes.
  • the outer coating may also contain small amounts of water and gum arabic.
  • a polyol coating can be further coated with wax.
  • the coating is applied in a conventional manner by successive applications of a coating solution, with drying in between each coat, as described in WO99/44436. As the coating dries it usually becomes opaque and is usually white, though other colorants may be added.
  • the outer opaque layer has a speckle distributed therein.
  • a speckle is understood to be a discrete particle visible on the outer coating of the gum wherein the particle is of sufficiently different colour to the opaque coating that it is easily visible and is not blurred with the coating material. It can be formed from any food grade material and it is highly preferred that the material is water insoluble.
  • the speckles are in the form of an essentially planar discrete particulate flake with a thickness of less than 100 ⁇ m, preferably less than 50 ⁇ m, and a width and length generally in the range of from 0.1 to 7mm, preferably 0.2 to 2mm.
  • other types of coloured speckles for example those with a less planar structure such as those formed by encapsulating coloured wax shapes, should also be considered as a speckle within the scope of the second and third aspects of the present invention provided that in all cases they form a discrete speckle on the final product which is easily visible against the background opaque coating.
  • the speckle material can either be located on the outer surface of the opaque gum coating or it can be dispersed within the opaque gum coating providing that a sufficient amount of the speckle, on the final product, is clearly visible as a discrete non blurred, coloured particle. It is highly preferred that the speckle is located solely on the outer surface of the opaque coating. Thin speckle flakes such as those described above are especially useful since, as a result of their essentially planar structure, they lie flat on the gum outer coating. Thus, if applied to the outer surface of the opaque coating, a minimal number of further transparent coating layers are required to achieve a smooth and protected finish to the gum.
  • An exemplary speckle material is "Insoluble Edible Glitter" available from Watson Food Co., West Haven, CT., USA.
  • This material is highly preferred due to its thin, planar, flake structure, insoluble nature and also due to its exceptional colour properties which are that it is bright, shiny, translucent and iridescent.
  • these insoluble flakes adhere well to the outer opaque coating and lie flat on the surface thus providing a discrete speckle which does not become blurred.
  • the speckles can be added to the coating of the gum by any means known to those skilled in the art.
  • the speckles can be dispersed in the opaque gum coating material and then applied to the gum as a coating dispersion.
  • the speckles can be dispersed in the transparent gum coating and applied as a dispersion on top of the opaque layer.
  • the speckle can be sprayed, wet or dry, onto the gum coating, either onto the outermost opaque layer, or the outermost transparent layer.
  • the gum can be provided with a transparent or translucent protective coating, such as a wax or sorbitol solution, to prevent the speckle being rubbed off.
  • the speckle is dry sprayed onto the outermost opaque layer of the coated gum before that layer is dry. This dry spraying gives the advantage that the speckle is applied flat against the gum coating and that few additional coating layers are required to produce the desired smooth texture to the finished product.
  • Sorbitol is added as a 70% aqueous solution Watson Foods Company Incorporated, 301 Heffernan Drive, West Haven, Connecticut, USA
  • wax used comprises several ingredients such as that supplied by Kaul GmBH, Elmshorn, Germany 6 Supplied by Albright and Wilson, PO Box 26229, Richmond, Virginia, USA
  • Core Formulation Soften gum base with gentle heating and add mannitol, spray-dried flavour, glycerine, 50% > of xylitol, hydrogenated starch hydrolisate, 50%> of sorbitol and mix thoroughly. Add second 50%> of xylitol, sodium polyphosphate and aspartame, remainder of flavour and mix further. Form bulk chewing gum mass into discrete pieces of desired shape and size using rolling and scoring equipment.
  • Coating Solution Add titanium dioxide and Polysorbate 60 to 70% aqueous sorbitol solution and mix. Add flavour followed by Sucralose and Potassium Acesulfame and mix further.
  • Coating of Core Formulation Place gum pieces into a coating pan and apply coating solution, partially dry. Repeat coating step until desired coating thickness or weight is achieved. Apply clear 70% aqueous sorbitol solution and, whilst wet, dry spray speckles onto product surface, dry. Apply second coat of clear 70% sorbitol solution followed by wax coating and allow product to fully dry.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne des gommes à mâcher enrobées tachetées, en particulier, des gommes à mâcher contenant un principe actif d'hygiène buccale. De nombreux principes actifs d'hygiène buccale n'ont pas d'effets efficaces immédiats et une tâche ménagée sur l'enrobage extérieur peut constituer, pour l'utilisateur, un indice d'effet thérapeutique. Le tachetage est réalisé à l'aide d'une pastille colorée appliquée lors des dernières étapes du processus d'enrobage. L'invention concerne également un procédé permettant d'appliquer l'enrobage tacheté. Un second aspect de cette invention concerne une gomme à mâcher enrobée contenant des principes actifs incompatibles, l'un de ces principes actifs, le sel polyphosphate hydrolysable, étant placé dans le coeur de la gomme à mâcher et un autre principe actif, incompatible avec le premier, tel qu'une source d'ions fluorures étant déposé dans l'enrobage.
