<p>The present invention is a method for producing a chewing gum with a delayed release sucralose sweetener, as well as the chewing gum so produced. The delayed release sucralose sweetener is obtained by physically modifying sucralose's properties by coating and drying. Sucralose sweetener is dissolved in a solvent and coated onto a cellulose derivative such as hydroxypropyl cellulose by agglomerating the cellulose derivative with the sucralose solution. The agglomerated material preferably includes an absorption material such as silica. The agglomerated sweetener is then dried and preferably particle sized to produce a release-modified sucralose high-intensity sweetener. When incorporated into the chewing gum, these particles are adapted to enhance the shelf stability of the sweetener and/or produce a delayed release when the gum is chewed.</p> |
