Multi-region chewing gum composition including isomalt gum region

摘要

The present invention relates to chewing or bubble gum compositions that include a first region composition and a second, or gum, region adjacent to or surrounding the first region. The first region composition may be a center-fill composition, such as a liquid-fill composition. The second region includes a polyol composition including isomalt alone or in combination with other polyols. The addition of isomalt to the second region provides stability to the chewing gum composition and reduces the problem of leaking and migration of the first region composition into the second region. The multi-region chewing gum composition also may include a coating region which surrounds or covers the second region.

1. A multi-region center-fill chewing gum composition comprising:
(a) a first region composition, said first region composition is a center-fill and comprises an aqueous liquid; and (b) a second region composition adjacent to said first region composition, said second region composition comprises an elastomer and a polyol composition comprising isomalt as the only polyol; wherein the first region comprises maltitol syrup, wherein the first region composition has a higher water activity than the water activity of the second region composition, and wherein the second region is a chewing gum region and is free of polyols other than the isomalt.
