An improved process for continuously producing chewing gum products. A continuous extrusion machine is utilized preferably with a rotating twin-screw mixing mechanism. The sugar ingredient of the chewing gum product is divided into two portions to improve texture of the final product. One portion is added at the initial upstream end of the extrusion process, while the other portion 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 introduced into the extrusion process upstream of the sugar material and the other portion introduced downstream of the other ingredients. Splitting the sugar and flavoring ingredients affects the texture and falvor release profiles of the final gum product.

L'invention concerne un procédé amélioré permettant de produire de produits de gomme à mâcher en continu. On utilise, de préférence, une machine d'extrusion continue doté d'un mécanisme de mélange rotatif à deux vis. L'ingrédient de sucre du produit de gomme à mâcher est divisé en deux parties de façon à améliorer la texture du produit final. On ajoute une partie à l'extrémité amont initiale du procédé d'extrusion, alors qu'on ajoute l'autre partie une fois que la plupart des ingrédients ont été inclus dans la masse de gomme. On divise également les ingrédients aromatisants en deux parties, une partie étant introduite en amont du procédé d'extrusion du matériau de sucre, et l'autre partie étant introduite en aval des autres ingrédients. La division du sucre et des ingrédients aromatisants affecte la texture et les profils de libération d'arôme du produit de gomme final.
