<p>The present invention is a method for producing a chewing gum with a delayed release Cyclamate sweetener, as well as the chewing gum so produced. The delayed release Cyclamate sweetener is obtained by physically modifying Cyclamate's properties by coating and drying. Cyclamate sweetener is coated by encapsulation, partially coated by agglomeration, entrapped by absorption, or treated by multiple steps of encapsulation, agglomeration, and absorption. The coated sweetener is then co-dried and particle sized to produce a release-modified Cyclamate high-intensity sweetener. When incorporated into the chewing gum, these particles are adopted to enhance the shelf stability of the sweetener and/or produce a delayed release when the gum is chewed.</p> |
