Abstract
A wax-free abhesive chewing gum is provided which uses a gum base devoid or substantially free of wax and elastomer plasticizer. The gum base includes about 20 to about 75 weight percent synthetic elastomer, about 4 to about 45 weight percent, filler, about 5 to about 55 weight percent gum base softener, and optional minor amounts of miscellaneous ingredients such as colors, antioxidants, etc. The abhesive wax-free chewing gum further comprises at least one flavoring agent, at least one bulk sweetener; and at least one controlled release sweetener. The controlled release sweetener is a sweetener whose release rate has been modified, preferably to provide a sweetness release profile similar to the release profile of at least one flavoring agent present in the abhesive chewing gum.
