An improved process for continuously producing chewing gum products. A continuous extrusion machine is utilized preferably with a rotating twin-screw mixing mechanism (10). The sugar ingredient of the chewing gum product is divided into two portions to improve texture of the final product. One portion (34) is added at the initial upstream end of the extrusion process, while the other portion (52) is added after most of the other ingredients have been included in the gum mass. The flavoring ingredients can also be divided into two portions, one portion (46) introduced into the extrusion process upstream of the sugar material and the other portion (54) introduced downstream of the other ingredients. Splitting the sugar and flavoring ingredients affects the texture and flavor release profiles of the final gum product (16).

Cette invention porte sur un procédé amélioré de production en continu de produits du type gomme à mâcher. On utilise une machine à extrusion continue de préférence avec un mécanisme (10) mélangeur à deux vis en rotation. L'ingrédient sucre du produit de gomme à mâcher est séparé en deux parties pour améliorer la texture du produit final. Une partie (34) est ajoutée au niveau de l'extrémité amont au début du processus d'extrusion, alors que l'autre partie (52) est ajoutée après l'incorporation de la plupart des autres ingrédients dans le mélange de gomme. Les ingrédients aromatisants peuvent également être divisés en deux parties, une partie (46) étant introduite dans le processus d'extrusion en amont de la matière sucre alors que l'autre partie (54) est introduite en aval des autres ingrédients. Le fait de diviser en deux parties les ingrédients tels que le sucre et les aromatisants modifie la texture et les profils de libération de l'arôme du produit final (16) de gomme à mâcher.
