<p>The present invention provides gum bases and chewing gums, as well as methods of manufacturing the gum bases. More specifically, the gum bases provided herein contain microparticles comprising a crosslinked polymer selected from the group consisting of crosslinked polyvinyl alkanoates, crosslinked polyvinyl alkenoates, crosslinked polyvinyl aryloates, crosslinked polysiloxanes, and copolymers and mixtures. The microparticles render a gum cud comprising the gum base more easily removable from surfaces onto which it may become adhered than gum cuds comprising conventional gum bases.</p> |
