<p>A method of rapidly producing a final wax-free chewing gum product is disclosed. The chewing gum is made using a chewing gum base which is devoid or substantially free of wax. The gum base includes about 20 to about 60 weight per cent synthetic elastomer, 0 to about 30 weight per cent natural elastomer, about 5 to about 55 weight per cent elastomer plasticizer, about 4 to about 40 weight per cent filler, about 5 to about 40 weight per cent softener, and optional minor amounts of miscellaneous ingredients such as colors, antioxidants, etc. Chewing gum compositions are provided which compositions temper rapidly in production and which chewing gums provide an initial soft bite, but still are produced more efficiently than comparable wax containing chewing gums.</p> |
