PURPOSE:To obtain the titled flexible gum giving rice cake-like feeling to the palate, by adding a specific amount of a natural gum in the form of an aqueous solution having a specific concentration to a chewing gum at an arbitrary stage of chewing gum production process. CONSTITUTION:A chewing gum is produced by compounding and kneading raw materials of chewing gum such as a gum base, sugar, flavor, etc. At an arbitrary stage in the above process, the materials are added with 1-40 wt% aqueous solution of a natural gum (preferably gum arabic, locust bean gum, xanthane gum and/or guar gum) in an amount of 1-5 wt% based on the chewing gum. Preferably, 10-20% of the sugar is substituted with maltose and/or a malto-oligosaccharide.
