| 摘要 |
The present invention is directed at chewing gum compositions having long-lasting breath freshening perception without bitterness comprising (a) a gum base; (b) a bulking agent; and (c) a cooling composition; wherein the cooling composition comprises menthol and an N-substituted-p-menthane carboxamide, wherein the carboxamide may be represented by formula (1), wherein R1 and R2 may be independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and an alkyl group containing from 1 to 25 carbon atoms, with the proviso that when R1 is hydrogen, R2 may be an aryl group containing from 6 to 10 carbon atoms and, R1 and R2 when taken together, may be a cyclic or heterocyclic group containing up to 25 carbon atoms; and wherein the N-substituted-p-menthane carboxamide is present in the cooling composition in an amount from about 0.001 % to about 6 %, and menthol is present in the cooling composition in an amount from about 94 % to about 99.999 %. The present invention is also directed at confectionery compositions containing the novel cooling composition and methods for preparing the novel chewing gum and confectionery compositions. |
