摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for producing a chewing-gum composition containing a powdery composition of maltitol, by introducing into said composition at least one anti-caking agent, preferably having a specific surface BET of at least 200 m2/g. The hardness of the chewing-gum thus obtained is increased, such an increase being desirable, for example, for preventing the deformation of centres to be sugar-coated in the sugar-coating turbines or improving the stick-packaging rates. The anti-caking agent is either introduced as a direct additive into the chewing-gum in like manner as the powdery maltitol composition, or previously mixed with said powdery maltitol composition. In the latter variant, the invention also relates to the combination resulting from the mixture of the anti-caking agent and the powdery maltitol composition. |
