摘要

Chewing gum contains 0.5-10 wt.% caffeine or caffeine-contg. substance dispersed in a chewing gum base opt. contg. other chewing gum ingredients. Weight ratio relates to pure caffeine and is based on the finished gum weight. USE/ADVANTAGE - The gum is a substitute for caffeine-contg. drinks (e.g. coffee, tea nd cola drinks) and pharmacy prods. (e.g. tablets) and may also be used to control fatigue and migraine. Caffeine content may conveniently correspond to that present in a cup of coffee (60-80 mg), i.e. individual units of gum weighting 2 g may suitably contain 60 mg caffeine. The gum is easy to handle and always available (e.g. can be chewed when driving), permits exact dosing, has no diuretic effect, is pleasant to taste and chew and releases caffeine gradually over an extended period.
