Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the taste and prolong the duration time of sweetness of a chewing gum by using aspartame as a sweetener of chewing gum containing a mouth odor preventing component or anticariogenic component. CONSTITUTION:The objective chewing gum contains alpha-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester and a mouth odor preventing component and/or an anticariogenic component. The alpha-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester (aspartame) used in the above chewing gum is a stock powder of aspartame or produced by granulating or pulverizing aspartame together with a proper excipient such as dextrin, sugar or sugar alcohol or by kneading and pulverizing aspartame together with oil and fat, starch and surfactant. The mouth odor preventing component is preferably used in the form of dry powder or molten extract from the viewpoint of handleability. The anticariogenic component used in the above chewing gum is dextranase or mutanase known as a bacterial plaque decomposition enzyme.

■ These materials have unique flavors such as grassy and bitter taste. Therefore, when a sufficient amount of these materials is kneaded into conventional chewing gum to perform its functions, the sweetness is lost and a unique off-flavor develops, making it difficult to chew chewing gum for a long period of time.

Therefore, the problems to be solved by the present invention are as follows:
When anti-halitosis ingredients and/or anti-caries ingredients are kneaded into chewing gum, in order to fully demonstrate the functions of these ingredients, it is necessary to improve the taste so that there is no off-flavor, and to add sweetness. The goal is to make chewing gum that lasts longer and can be chewed for a longer period of time.
