Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to chewing gum compositions having an improved sweetener release profile. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to chewing gum compositions comprising a combination of high potency sweeteners that includes at least one steviol glycoside and at least one high potency sweetener other than the steviol glycoside that does not demonstrate cross-adaptation with the steviol glycoside. When incorporated into chewing gum compositions, this combination of high potency sweeteners may be used to provide a consistent sweetness profile to the gum for extended periods of chewing.

Abstract: A method of treating pieces of plant material to make them microbiologically stable for inclusion in chewing gums and other confections is disclosed. More specifically, the plant material is exposed to gamma radiation in specific dosage ranges to stabilize the ingredient and preserve flavor and appearance of the material. The present invention relates to chewing gums and confections having inclusions of pieces of plant material such as pieces of mint leaves or dried fruit, wherein the plant material is stabilized against microbial growth by treatment with gamma radiation.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to chewy confectionery products. More specifically, the present disclosure is directed to uncoated chewy confectionery products comprising starch as a hydrocolloid, sucrose, and a glucose syrup. The uncoated chewy confectionery products are shape stable, shelf stable, and less sticky than traditional chewy confectionery products. Advantageously, the chewy confectionery products of the present disclosure have a texture similar to traditional chewy confectionery products, but do not require a protective coating or wrapper to maintain their stability.

Abstract: Systems and computer-implemented methods of generating a model and using the model for determining synergy between a plurality of compounds in a mixture for applying to a human taste receptor are disclosed herein. The plurality of compounds in the mixture may be sweet-tasting compounds. The model may be generated based on a function, where the sigmoid function is approximated to a set of experimental data, and where the experimental data maps a combination of concentrations of compounds to a measured response of the taste receptor. Once generated, the model may then be used to determine synergy among the plurality of compounds.

Abstract: Tempered xylitol coatings and methods for applying the same are disclosed. A gum coating device coats a gum core with a first syrup to form a first coating, wherein the first syrup comprises xylitol, a first coating impurity, and a binder. The first syrup does not include a coloring agent and the first coating impurity is selected to slow the crystallization of xylitol. The gum coating device coats an outer surface of the first coating with a second syrup to form a second coating. The second syrup comprises xylitol, a second coating impurity, a binder, and a coloring agent. The second coating impurity is selected to slow the crystallization of xylitol. The gum coating device tempers the gum core after at least a first layer of the first coating is applied and before a last layer of the second coating is applied.

Abstract: A method is provided for making a molten, deposited confectionery product, such as a chewing gum. In some embodiments, a chewing gum composition containing at least a gum base, flavor and at least two sugar alcohols is mixed by conventional means. The chewing gum composition is then melted and deposited, for example, into a mold formed in a packaging blister. The deposited gum is then heat tempered at an elevated temperature for a period of time. The heat tempering process reduces tempering time required before the deposited chewing gum piece can be cleanly removed from the mold and enjoyed by a consumer. A product of the method also is provided.

Abstract: There is provided a hard panned coating, and a hard panned confection comprising an edible core coated with the same. The hard panned coating comprises multiple sugar syrup layers, only some of which further comprise one or more sucrose esters. In some embodiments, titanium dioxide may be excluded from the sugar syrup/sucrose ester layers. In these, and other, embodiments, the hard panned coatings exhibit one or more L*, a* and b* values within 5% of the corresponding value of a colorant overcoat applied over a precoat comprising titanium dioxide. Raw material cost savings are thus provided, while yet providing a confection having enhanced properties.
