A confectionery compressed tablet designed to dissolve in the oral cavity and containing a flavor ingredient intimately bound with a bioadhesive is disclosed. The flavor and bioadhesive composition provide a unique mouthfeel so that as the confection dissolves in the oral cavity, a coating of flavor adheres to the moist areas of the oral cavity. There is also provided a confectionery compressed tablet characterized by a single product body with discrete phases contained therein which act to provide timed release of at least one flavor ingredient sequentially. A flavor and bioadhesive mixture can be prepared with a hydrophilic delivery system providing rapid initial delivery of the flavor and unique mouthfeel or as a part of a hydrophobic delivery system providing extended periods of flavor delivery and unique mouthfeel. There is also provided a process for preparing confectionery compressed tablets containing the unique flavor delivery system and mouthfeel.

Encapsulated flavor with bioadhesive character in pressed mints and

The present invention pertains to a microencapsulated flavoring agent in the form of a spheroidal microcapsule which comprises a core and a coating layer over the core, wherein the microcapsule comprises (A) a core present in an amount up to about 90%, by weight of the microcapsule, which comprises (a) a flavoring agent in an amount from about 20% to about 80%, by weight of the core, and (b) a resin in an amount from about 80% to about 20%, by weight of the core, and (B) a coating layer over the core which comprises in percentages by weight of the coating layer, (a) gelatin in an amount from about 45% to about 49%, (b) gum arabic in an amount from about 45% to about 49%, and (c) glutaraldehyde in an amount from about 2% to about 10%. The encapsulated flavoring agents may be used in a wide variety of ingestible compositions and chewing gum products. The present invention also pertains to methods for preparing the encapsulated flavoring agents and the ingestible compositions in which they may be employed.

A free-flowing particulate delivery system for providing enhanced flavor and sweetness to comestible compositions comprising a powdered flavor composition encapsulated in a matrix comprising an outer hydrophilic coating containing up to the solubility limit of the coating of an intense sweetener. The delivery system is particularly useful in chewing gums, confectioneries and pharmaceutical preparations as well as other food products.

Multiple encapsulated flavor delivery system and method of preparation

A flavor delivery system is disclosed which offers the combination of improved flavor intensity and extension and, when incorporated into chewing gums, provides desired softness to the gum to facilitate the reduction in softening additives that conventionally add moisture thereto. The present delivery system comprises a composite of a flavor and a resin preferably in a solution mixture with each other, the flavor being present in an amount of from about 20% to about 80% of the final delivery system, with the resin comprising the remainder. Optionally, an emulsifier may be added in an amount of up to 25% by weight. In a further embodiment, the delivery system of the present invention may include up to 25% by weight of a sweetener such as acesulfame-K. The present delivery system finds use in comestibles such as chewing gum compositions and other food products, pharmaceuticals, and scratch-and-sniff and aroma packaging products. The delivery system may be incorporated as a liquid or may be prepared in particulate form.

Controlled release flavor system and method of preparation

A delivery system for one or more sweeteners offers enhanced up front sweetness intensity in combination with prolonged sweetness duration, and improved protection and stability of the active. The delivery system comprises a first high intensity sweetener encapsulated in a first core coating, and a second outer hydrophilic coating containing up to the solubility limit of the second coating of a second sweetener. The resulting delivery system may be incorporated into a variety of comestible products including chewing gums and other confections, baked goods, oral pharmaceuticals and oral hygiene preparations.

Multiple encapsulated sweetener delivery system and method of preparation

An anhydrous powdered fructose-sweetened chewing gum composition having enhanced flavor and sweetness perception, unique clean taste and non-gritty mouthfeel, up-front sweetness and soft chew texture including from about 5% to about 75% by weight of the composition of a soft PVA gum base, from about 25% to about 75% by weight of the composition of powdered fructose having a 70 mesh particle size, and one or more flavoring agents. An anhydrous reduced calorie chewing gum composition including from about 55% to about 75% by weight of the composition of a soft PVA gum base, from about 25% to about 45% by weight of the composition of powdered fructose having a 70 mesh particle size, and one or more flavoring agents.
