A stabilized high intensity sweetener ingredient for use in chewing gum is prepared by encapsulating a high intensity sweetener using a mixture of about 75 to about 99 weight percent zein and about 25 to about 1 weight percent shellac. This combination of zein and shellac prolongs the shelf life of the chewing gum and the high intensity sweetener, to a greater extent than zein or shellac used individually or in other combinations.
