A sweetener composition consisting essentially of codried halodeoxysugar and acid saccharin and designed for use as a non-caloric sweetener in orally ingestible products such as chewing gum to provide prolonged sweetness without aftertaste of either the halodeoxysugar or the acid saccharin.

Sweetener composition

A sweetener composition consisting essentially of codried thaumatin, and/or monellin and acid saccharin and designed for use as a non-caloric sweetener in comestibles such as chewing gum to provide prolonged sweetness without aftertaste of either the protein or the acid saccharin.

A composition and method for providing slowed-down or controlled release of sweetener for confections including an agglomeration of sweetener and an insoluble fat material.

Composition and method for providing controlled release of sweetener in

A chewing gum containing a new homogeneous gum base and a process for the preparation thereof wherein the gum base includes a single polymeric compatibilizing agent which is capable of properly plasticizing both the resin and the elastomer components contained therein. The primary components are made effectively compatible with each other by use of the novel agents.

Single compatibilizing agents for elastomer-resin combination gum base

A method for treating teeth to reduce caries is provided wherein the teeth are contacted with a hydrogenated starch hydrolysate, in the presence of a sugar, for example, as contained in a chewing gum composition or toothpaste or powder composition, the hydrogenated starch hydrolysate and sugar being present in an amount sufficient to inhibit growth of Streptococcus mutans in the oral cavity or on the teeth.

Method of reducing dental caries

A single phase formulated homogeneous gum base which contains a plasticized elastomer and a plasticized resin without the necessity of ester gum. The base may optionally include softeners, waxes, fillers and/or emulsifier.

Gum base and chewing gum containing same

A method and composition for treating teeth to reduce dental caries is provided wherein the teeth are contacted with a synergistic combination of a saccharin material, and a fluoride material, for example, as contained in a chewing gum composition, the combination of saccharin material and fluoride material being present in an amount sufficient to inhibit growth of Streptococcus mutans in the presence of a fermentable carbohydrates in the oral cavity.

Method and composition to inhibit the growth of Streptococcus mutans by

A chewing gum is provided having improved processability and softness. The improved properties are achieved through the use of a fatty acid or fatty acid ester softening agent, such as glycerol trioleate, in place of conventional softeners such as lecithin.

Chewing gum having improved softness

A method for treating teeth to reduce caries is provided wherein the teeth are contacted with an anti-caries compound comprising 3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-1,2,3-oxathiazine-4-one-2,2-dioxide or the sodium, ammonium, potassium or calcium salt thereof, optionally in the presence of a sugar, for example, as contained in a chewing gum composition or toothpaste or powder composition, the anti-caries compound being present in an amount sufficient to inhibit growth of Streptococcus mutans in the oral cavity or on the teeth.

Dehydrated higher polyalcohol compositions such as dehydrated hydrogenated starch hydrolysates, dehydrated maltitol, dehydrated maltotriatol and the like are provided which include a concentrated protein extract to facilitate dehydration thereof. A method for dehydrating higher polyalcohols-concentrated protein extract compositions and comestibles and chewing gum containing the dehydrated product are also provided.

Dehydrated higher polyalcohols, comestibles and chewing gum containing

A long-lasting flavored chewing gum is provided which includes gum base, and a non-sugar sweetener, such as a saccharin sweetener, codried or coated on a filler material, such as calcium carbonate or starch. A method is also provided for preparing such chewing gum.

Long-lasting flavored chewing gum containing non-sugar sweetener codried

A substantially calorie-free, non-carbohydrate, non-cariogenic, non-adhesive chewing gum is provided which does not adhere to dentures and includes gum base, substantially calorie-free sweetener, flavor, water, thickener, filler, softener and a slip agent for imparting non-adhesive properties to the gum, the slip agent being alpha-cellulose, texturized vegetable protein, fish protein concentrate, citrus peel, citrus pulp, fruit pulp or mixtures thereof. A method for imparting non-adhesive properties to chewing gum is also provided. The resulting chewing gum has significantly higher cud volume than heretofore known chewing gum of equivalent weight.

Calorie-free non-adhesive chewing gums and method

A non-adhesive chewing gum is provided which does not adhere to dentures and includes gum base, sweetener, flavor and a slip agent for imparting non-adhesive properties to the gum, the slip agent being alpha-cellulose, texturized vegetable protein, bran, fish protein concentrate, citrus peel, citrus pulp, fruit pulp or mixtures thereof. A method for imparting non-adhesive properties to chewing gum is also provided. The resulting chewing gum has significantly higher cud volume than previously known chewing gums of equivalent weight.

Non-adhesive chewing gums and method

A chewing gum is provided having improved flavor retention, flexibility and softness, which chewing gum includes gum base, sweetener, one or more flavors which may soften the gum base, and a limonene derivative which inhibits or minimizes flavor migration and thus improves flavor duration and impact and preserves flexibility and cud softness of the gum even upon extended periods of storage.
