Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA) copolymers, and to chewing gum bases and chewing gums comprising the mcl-PHA copolymers. In some instances, the mcl-PHA copolymers may partially or completely replace conventional petroleum-based gum base polymers, including elastomers, in the chewing gum and gum base. The chewing gums and gum bases of the present disclosure may be free or substantially free of petroleum-based ingredients. Chewing gums comprising the mcl-PHA copolymers of the present disclosure may also have enhanced degradability as compared to conventional chewing gums.
