In preferred embodiments the gum base compositions also contain polyglycerol polyricinoleate, mono- and di-glycerides esterified with mono-acetyl and di-acetyl tartaric acid, acetylated monoglycerides, lecithin and sodium or calcium stearoyl-2-lactylate. Chewing gums of the present invention contain a chewable gum base as described above, in combination with one or more sweeteners and/or flavouring agents, and preferably also glycerol triacetate and stearic acid.
