Flavor releasing cores and their use in chewing gum

摘要

Flavor releasing structures for chewing gum have about 30% to about 60% thermoplastic cellulose material, about 5% to about 50% non-cellulosic thermoplastic polymer, and about 10% to about 40% porous flavor reservoir material. Optionally the flavor releasing structure may comprise about 5% to about 25% plasticizer. The cores may be coated with a flavor barrier coating.
