<p>A flavored chewing gum is provided which contains a water-insoluble gum base, and one or more finely divided poorly water-soluble sweetening agents, such as the free acid form of saccharin and/or one or more finely divided poorly water-soluble food acids, such as fumaric acid, succinic acid or adipic acid, dispersed in the gum base. The finely divided sweetening agent and/or finely divided food acid undergo controlled release from the gum base for relatively long periods, for example, for 30 minutes or more, during which time the chewing gum delivers a balanced sweet and non-sour or sour taste.</p> |
