摘要

A flavour delivery system is disclosed which offers the combination of improved flavour intensity and extension and, when incorporated into chewing gums, provides desired softness to the gum to facilitate the reduction in softening additives that conventionally add moisture thereto. The present delivery system comprises a composite of a flavour and a resin in a homogeneous mixture with each other, the flavour being present in an amount of from 20% to 80% of the final delivery system, with the resin being present as from 80% to 20% of the system. Optionally, an emulsifier may be added to an amount of up to 25% by weight. In a further embodiment, the delivery system of the present invention may include up to 25% by weight of a sweetener such as acesulfame-K. The present delivery system finds use in comestibles such as chewing gum compositions and other food products, pharmaceuticals, and scratch-and-sniff and aroma packaging products. The delivery system may be incorporated as a liquid or may be prepared in particulate form.
