Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to chewing gum. More specifically, the present invention relates to improved formulations for chewing gum and bases.
  • Chewing gum generally consists of a water insoluble gum base and a water soluble portion along with flavors. The water soluble portion and flavors dissipate during chewing and the gum base is retained in the mouth throughout the chew.
  • the insoluble gum base generally comprises elastomers, resins, fats and oils, softeners, and inorganic fillers.
  • Elastomers can include synthetic elastomers including polyisobutylene, isobutylene- isoprene copolymers, styrene-butadiene copolymers, polyvinyl acetate, polyisoprene, polyethylene, vinyl acetate - vinyl laurate copolymers, and combinations thereof.
  • Natural elastomers that can be used include natural rubber.
  • the gum base can include elastomer plasticizers.
  • Such elastomer plasticizers can include natural rosin esters, as well as other elastomer plasticizers.
  • the gum base can include fillers/texturizers and softeners/emulsifiers. Softeners are added to chewing gum in order to optimize the chewability and mouth feel of the gum. Softeners/emulsifiers that are typically used include tallow, hydrogenated tallow, hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, cocoa butter, glycerol monostearate, glycerol triacetate, lecithin, and combinations thereof.
  • a typical chewing gum composition includes a water soluble portion and one or more flavoring agents.
  • the water soluble portion can include bulk sweeteners, high intensity sweeteners, flavoring agents, softeners, emulsifiers, colors, acidulants, fillers, antioxidants, and other components that provide desirable attributes.
  • a gum base that includes a structured lipid that contains caprylic or capric fatty acids, for example caprenin (caprocaprylobehenin) , as a plasticizer.
  • the structured lipid comprises only capric and caprylic fatty acids.
  • the structured lipid includes other fatty acids in addition to caprylic and/or capric fatty acids.
  • caprenin is added to gum base formulations replacing a small or large quantity of fats, oils, or waxes.
  • caprenin replaces, in a gum base formula, at least some of the conventional saturated fats.
  • the caprenin can also be used to improve flavor quality by replacing a portion or all of the other saturated fats in the base formula. Caprenin may also control flavor release and reduce harshness/bitterness of the flavor.
  • a variety of base and chewing gum formulations including structured lipids, such as caprenin, can be produced and/or utilized pursuant to the present invention.
  • the base formulations of the present invention may be conventional bases that include wax or are wax-free, tacky or non-tacky and/or bubble gum-type bases.
  • the gum formulations can be low or high moisture formulations containing low or high amounts of moisture- containing syrup.
  • Caprenin can also be used in low sugar and non-sugar containing gum formulations made with sorbitol, mannitol, other polyols, and non-sugar carbohydrates.
  • Non-sugar formulations can include low or high moisture sugar-free chewing gums.
  • caprenin is used in the chewing gum formulation to replace typical plasticizers that are used in chewing gum formulations.
  • caprenin can be used to replace glycerin, lecithin, glycerol triacetate, acetylated monoglycerides, and mono- and di- glycerides.
  • the caprenin is used in a chewing gum formulation combined with other softeners, emulsifiers, and plasticizing agents. If desired, caprenin can be used alone or combined with an inert material which may be added in a dry form. The caprenin softener can also be added to the flavor as a carrier for its use in chewing gum.
  • caprenin when used according to the present invention, affords the chewing gum an improved texture, improved shelf life, and improved flavor quality. Even though caprenin is similar to other fats and oils in some respects, caprenin has a lower caloric value and creates a resultant chewing gum product that has a high consumer- acceptability. It is an advantage of the present invention to provide an improved chewing gum formulation.
  • a further advantage of the present invention is to provide an improved base that can be used to create chewing gum.
  • an advantage of the present invention is that it provides an improved chewing gum plasticizer.
  • an advantage of the present invention is that it provides an improved method for creating chewing gum.
  • an advantage of the present invention is that it provides a chewing gum having improved texture.
  • An advantage of the present invention is that it provides a chewing gum having an improved shelf life.
  • an advantage of the present invention is that it provides a chewing gum having improved flavor quality.
  • the present invention provides improved chewing gum formulations and base formulations.
  • structured lipids that contain caprylic or capric fatty acids are added to chewing gum and base formulations.
  • caprocaprylobehenin hereinafter referred to as "caprenin"
  • Caprenin can be used in chewing gum formulations and/or bases.
  • the caprenin can be used as a plasticizer in the gum base.
  • Caprenin being a saturated fatty acid triglyceride can be used to replace other fats in gum base that are also saturated fatty acid triglycerides.
  • Most triglycerides used as fat in gum bases are from fatty acids such as stearic acid (C18) , palmitic acid (C16) , oleic acid (C18:l unsaturated) and linoleic acid (C18:2 unsaturated) .
  • These common fatty acids are derived from saturated soybean oil, olive oil, canola oil, cottonseed oil, coconut oil, palm oil, corn oil, palm kernel oil, safflower oil, lard, tallow, and a wide variety of short and long chain fatty acids.
  • these fats or lipids are hydrogenated to make them saturated for use in gum base. Saturation of the lipids significantly improves their oxidation stability, which is very important for shelf life of gum base and gum.
  • oil When oil is hydrogenated it becomes a solid at room temperature, thus a fat.
  • the above identified fats contain a natural fatty acid distribution dependent on its source.
  • the triglyceride is interesterified the triglyceride is broken down to glycerol and free fatty acids, and is then recombined to provide different triglyceride molecules. If the fatty acids are separated to specific fatty acids and recombined with glycerol, this is called a structured lipid.
  • One such structured lipid is Caprenin.
  • Caprenin is made with (C8) caprylic, (CIO) capric and behenic (C22) saturated fatty acids. This material is created by deriving from rapeseed oil a high quantity of tribehenin, from coconut or palm kernel oils medium chain triglycerides (MCT) are obtained. The tribehenin is interesterified with the medium chain triglycerides to 6/13173 PC17US95/13951
  • Caprenin is available from Procter & Gamble Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio.
  • caprenin is a fat, its unique chemical structure gives it unique properties. It has a low caloric value as compared to other fats. This is due to the fact that long chain behenic acid is only partially absorbed by the body and the two MCTs are metabolized like carbohydrates, affording caprenin a lower caloric value. The combination of these three fatty acids gives caprenin a caloric value of 5 calories per gram compared to 9 calories per gram of other dietary fats.
  • caprenin has no tropical oils. Caprenin is also not believed to increase blood cholesterol levels. In fact, the FDA has excluded these fatty acids from their definition of saturated fats for nutrition labeling.
  • Structured lipids such as Caprenin may have properties that are different than conventional saturated triglycerides. It has been surprisingly found that Caprenin is a better plasticizer of elastomers used in gum base as compared to conventional saturated triglycerides. It has also been found that fatty acid triglycerides C8 and CIO (Medium Chain Triglycerides or MCTs) are very good plasticizers for gum base elastomers. The triglycerides from these two fatty acids appear to not only soften the gum base, but also plasticize the rubber elastomer more effectively than conventional triglycerides.
  • MCTs Medium Chain Triglycerides
  • Caprenin comprises two parts medium chain triglycerides and one part larger fatty acid, that this allows Caprenin to be a more effective plasticizer than other conventional fats.
