Methods and compositions for providing improved processability for chewing gum. Pursuant to the present invention, the particle size of the sorbitol component is chosen so that a chewing gum composition is created that is sufficiently firm for processability through a typical chewing gum manufacturing process. To this end, a method is provided for regulating the firmness of a chewing gum composition including sorbitol comprising the step of selecting the particle size distribution of the sorbitol so as to create a chewing gum having desired firmness. By choosing sorbitol with reduced particle sizes, a firm chewing gum is achieved. Likewise, by choosing sorbitol with an increased particle size, a softer chewing gum is achieved.

Méthodes et compositions pour améliorer le traitement de la gomme à mâcher. Selon l'invention, la taille granulométrique du constituant sorbitol est choisie de façon à obtenir une composition pour gomme à mâcher suffisamment ferme pour se prêter à un procédé de fabrication classique de gomme à mâcher. € cette fin, l'invention présente une méthode permettant de contrôler la consistance d'une composition pour gomme à mâcher à base de sorbitol, notamment une étape où on choisit la distribution granulométrique du sorbitol pour obtenir une gomme possédant la consistance voulue. Un sorbitol sous forme de particules de taille réduite donnera une gomme plus ferme, alors que des tailles plus grandes produiront une gomme plus molle.
