SHAPED CHEWING GUM PRODUCTS CONTAINING SOLUBLE PROTEIN AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME

摘要

Shaped chewing gum products are made by mixing gum base, bulk sweetener syrup, powdered bulk sweetener and soluble protein together to form a heated composition and molding that composition into desired shapes. The molding may be accomplished by making multiple depressions in a bed of powder material, each depression having a desired shape; depositing the heated composition into the depressions at a temperature at which the heated composition will fill into the shapes of the depressions; allowing the heated composition to set up to a consistency wherein the composition maintains the shape of the depression to form the shaped chewing gum products; and separating the shaped chewing gum products from the powder material.
