PURPOSE:To obtain the titled gum slightly causing dental caries, by using L- aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester, hydrolyzate of reducing starch and/or a reducing maltose thick malt syrup and sugar alcohol as a sweetening agent. CONSTITUTION:L-Aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester is mixed with hydrolyzate of reducing starch and/or reducing maltose thick malt syrup at (0.1-95): (99.9-5) weight ratio, and the resultant mixture is then dissolved in water. The solution is then dried and finely pulverized to give a raw material for a sweetening agent of encapsulated L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester. A chewing gum is prepared by adding a sugar alcohol, e.g. sorbitol or mannitol, to a usually used chewing gum base, kneading the mixture, adding an emulsifying agent, glycerol, colorant, etc. thereto, kneading the resultant mixture, and finally adding the sweetening agent of the encapsulate L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester thereto. |
