L-carvone enhanced fruit flavored chewing gum

摘要

A quantity of about 0.5-4.0% by weight of L-carvone is added to fruit flavors used in chewing gum, especially bubble gum, to provide a chewing gum having increased flavor impact, increased sweetness and prolonged flavor duration. The L-carvone enhances the fruit flavor in these respects without imparting a separate and different flavor to the chewing gum.
