Abstract
A mint-flavored chewing gum which contains a water-insoluble gum base, sugars, flavoring and, the free acid form of saccharin, in particulate form, dispersed in the insoluble gum base. The particulate artificial sweetener, undergoes controlled release from the gum base for relatively long periods, for example, for 30 minutes or more, at a concentration below the bitter threshold, so that the chewing gum delivers a sweet taste during such time unaccompanied by a metallic or bitter aftertaste.
