A stabilized chewing gum product containing an L-aspartic acid derived sweetener in its free form and method for manufacture thereof are disclosed. The chewing gum product includes at least two portions, one of which includes, in its free form, Aspartame (APM) as an artificial, low calorie sweetener. Also included in the APM-containing portion can be an organic acid which will maintain the pH of the portion at a level conducive to maintaining the stability of APM. A second portion can include flavoring agents, and optionally, at least one moisture-containing agent. The portions are arranged in surface-to-surface relationship whereby contact between the APM and the flavorings and/or moisture-containing agent of the second portion is substantially reduced. The stability of APM and, consequently, of the chewing gum product is substantially increased.

Method and product for increased aspartame stability in chewing gum

A chewing gum composition having prolonged juiciness and flavor through the incorporation of a premixed blend of acids having different organic/aqueous partitioning coefficients such that they have sequential release rates during mastication.

Chewing gum compositions having sequential acid release

This disclosure relates to a low-moisture, sugarless, center-filled chewing gum and a process for the preparation thereof, in which a low moisture, liquid center-fill is incorporated into a cavity within a substantially anhydrous chewing gum shell. The center-filled chewing gum disclosed has improved non-staling properties and an extended shelf-life. The liquid center-fill has a water content of about 6% to about 8%, based on the total weight of the liquid center-fill, a viscosity of about 22,000 to about 85,000 centipoises at 25.degree. C., and contains a natural or synthetic gum, a glycerin humectant and an additonal, water-miscible humectant.

Low moisture, sugarless, center-filled chewing gum

A chewing gum composition having an initial soft-short texture lacking elasticity which converts upon chewing to a soft elastic-cohesive chewing gum which comprises an anhydrous admixture of a gum base, sweetening agent, softener and about 0.75% to about 6% by weight, a maltodextrin binder having a D.E. value of about 7 to about 24.
