Method of preparing lecithin composition for chewing gum

摘要

A method of adding lecithin to chewing gum is provided by the present invention. The method comprises mixing from about 20 parts to about 70 parts by weight lecithin with from about 30 parts to about 80 parts by weight water. The resulting aqueous lecithin mixture is allowed to stand until a gelatinous lecithin forms. Thereafter, the gelatinous lecithin is mixed with an amount of a bulking agent such that the bulking agent comprises from about 25 parts to about 85 parts by weight of the resulting lecithin mixture. Whereupon, the lecithin mixture is mixed with chewing gum.
