GUM BASES, CHEWING GUMS BASED THEREUPON, AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

A gum base comprises microparticles containing at least one crosslinked polymer. It has been found that such gum bases exhibit desireable chewing properties similar to conventional gum bases. Cuds formed by chewing gum bases containing crosslinked polymer microparticles are easily removable from environmental surfaces such as concrete, fabrics and flooring materials.
