Tempered xylitol coatings and methods for applying the same are disclosed. A gum coating device coats a gum core with a first syrup to form a first coating, wherein the first syrup comprises xylitol, a first coating impurity, and a binder. The first syrup does not include a coloring agent and the first coating impurity is selected to slow the crystallization of xylitol. The gum coating device coats an outer surface of the first coating with a second syrup to form a second coating. The second syrup comprises xylitol, a second coating impurity, a binder, and a coloring agent. The second coating impurity is selected to slow the crystallization of xylitol. The gum coating device tempers the gum core after at least a first layer of the first coating is applied and before a last layer of the second coating is applied.

Tempered xylitol coating for chewing gums

The present disclosure provides a method for thermally sealing a filled chewing gum product. The fill material of the chewing gum product is heated to a temperature greater than about 40&#xb0; C. which correspondingly heats the inner portion of the chewing gum material to an elevated temperature. The method further includes sealing the heated inner portion of the chewing gum material to form a sealed, filled chewing gum product. The present disclosure advantageously increases the bond strength of the sealed ends of the sealed and filled chewing gum product and reduces the amount of unacceptable product or leakers.
