Abstract
A stabilized chewing gum product containing an L-aspartic acid derived sweetener and method for manufacture thereof are disclosed. The chewing gum product includes at least two portions, one of which includes Aspartame (APM) as an artificial, low calorie sweetener. A second portion can include a gum base and flavoring agents, preferably aldehyde flavorings. The portions are provided to opposite sides of a protective barrier film that is disposed between the two portions, whereby contact between the APM and the flavorings of the second portion is substantially reduced. The stability of APM and, consequently, of the chewing gum product is substantially increased.
