The subject of the invention is a novel chewing gum in tablet form which can be produced by direct compression of a gum formulation in powder form; the chewing gum thus obtained is characterized by a pleasant chewability which remains unchanged throughout the chewing period without hardening like most conventional chewing gums. The chewing gum in powder form is produced by a method which comprises the following steps: a) mixing of a soft basic gum, i.e. gum base, with at least one sweetener and, optionally, at least one other typical chewing-gum ingredient, at a temperature of between about 35 and 75 ~C; b) cooling of the mixture thus obtained to a temperature of between about 0 and -40 ~C and preferably between -10 and -40 ~C; c) grinding and subsequent screening of the mixture thus obtained to a particle size of less than about 10 mesh; d) optional mixing of the powder thus obtained with at least one anti- agglutination agent; e) optional compression of the mixture thus obtained.

La présente invention concerne un nouveau chewing-gum en tablette qui peut être produit par compression directe d'une préparation de gomme en poudre. Le chewing-gum ainsi obtenu est caractérisé par un aspect de mastication agréable qui reste inchangé tout au long de la période de mastication sans durcissement caractéristique des chewing-gums traditionnels. Ce chewing-gum en poudre est produit au moyen d'un procédé qui comprend les étapes suivantes : a) le mélange d'une gomme basique souple, par exemple, une base de gomme, avec au moins un édulcorant et facultativement avec au moins un autre ingrédient typique du chewing-gum, à une température comprise entre environ 35· et 75· C, b) le refroidissement du mélange ainsi obtenu à une température comprise entre environ 0 et 40 ·C, de préférence, entre 10 et 40· C, c) le broyage et le criblage subséquent du mélange ainsi obtenu à une taille particulaire inférieure à environ 10 mesh, d) le mélange facultatif de la poudre ainsi obtenue avec au moins un agent anti-agglutination, e) une compression facultative du mélange ainsi obtenu.
