In one embodiment, the gum comprises about 5 % to about 95 % gum base, about 0.1 % to about 10 % flavoring agent and about 0.5 % to about 90 % indigestible dextrin. The indigestible dextrin provides the gum with unique properties, and the gum is non-cariogenic. In other embodiments, the indigestible dextrin is co-dried with other sweeteners or co-evaporated with a plasticizing syrup to produce unique sweetening ingredients and syrups for gum. The indigestible dextrin may also be provided in the form of a rolling compound on the gum, or used to form a hard coating for a coated pellet gum.</p> |
