Patent

CA 2118223

A method of prolonging the shelf life of stick chewing gum, and a shelf stable chewing gum prepared according to the method, are provided. Chewing gum sheet is coated on both sides with an aqueous solution of an edible film forming agent which, when partially dried, serves as an adhesive. A layer of wax is then applied to each of the layers of edible film forming agent. Stick chewing gum prepared according to the method of the invention does not absorb or lose moisture as fast as conventional, uncoated chewing gum sticks.

L'invention décrit un procédé servant à prolonger la durée de conservation de gommes à mâcher en tablettes, ainsi qu'une gomme à mâcher présentant une stabilité à la conservation et préparée selon ledit procédé. On recouvre la feuille de gomme à mâcher des deux côtés avec une solution aqueuse d'un agent constituant une pellicule comestible et servant d'adhésif quand il est partiellement séché. On applique ensuite une couche de cire à chacune des couches d'agent constituant une pellicule comestible. Les tablettes de gommes à mâcher préparées en fonction du procédé décrit par l'invention n'absorbent pas ou ne perdent pas l'humidité aussi rapidement que les tablettes habituelles de gomme à mâcher dépourvues de revêtement.
