Long-lasting chewing gum having good processibility and method

ABSTRACT LONG-LASTING CHEWING GUM HAVING GOOD PROCESSIBILITY AND METHOD A chewing gum is provided which has long-lasting sweetness, good sweat resistance and good processibility characteristics and includes a water-soluble phase formed of aqueous softener, such as sorbitol syrup, and a first sweetener, such as sorbitol or sugar, in particulate form dispersed throughout the aqueous softener, and a relatively water-insoluble phase formed of a plurality of separate and distinct masses suspended in and dispersed throughout the water-soluble phase, each of the masses being formed of particles of gum base and particles of a second sweetener, such as mannitol and/or sorbitol or sugar, envelope by particles of gum base. The first sweetener and aqueous softener provide the initial impact of sweetness while the gum base provides an envelope or protective vehicle for the second sweetener, thereby providing extended sweetness after the initial sweetness impact has subsided. The relatively water-insoluble phase including gum base particles and/or the water-soluble phase further includes hydrogenated starch hydrolysate which functions as a binder, without detracting from sweetness, to improve cohesivity and processibility and allow for sheeting of the chewing gum and the manufacture thereof in stick form. A method for preparing the above chewing gum is also provided.

Polyester and polyurethane production method

At the time of producing a polyester by using a dicarboxylic acid component and a biomass-resource-derived diol as raw materials, a polyester is efficiently produced with good 5 color tone. As the raw material diol derived from biomass resources, a diol in which the content of a cyclic carbonyl compound having a carbon atom number of 5 or 6 is from 0.01 to 12 ppm by mass, is used. By controlling the content of a cyclic carbonyl compound having a carbon atom number of 5 or 6 in the raw material diol to fall in a prescribed range, the color tone of the polyester is improved. 2144200vl 1- 2+ . .- -' 0 '3 z TOTAL C5, C6 CYCLIC CARBONYL CONTENT IN RAW MATERIAL 1.4BG (ppm BY MASS) -2 MHPO (2-METHYD IHYDRO-2H-PYRAN-3 (4H)-ON) IN RAW MATERIAL 1 .4BG (ppm BY MASS)

Long-lasting flavored chewing gum including chalk- free gum base

Abstract A flavored chewing gum is provided which contains a water-insoluble chalk-free gum base, a slowly or poorly extract-able or poorly water-soluble sweetener in particulate form, such as the free acid form of saccharin, and optionally, a slowly or poorly extractable or poorly water-soluble food acid in particulate form, for example, fumaric acid, dispersed in the gum base. The particulate sweetener and food acid (where present) undergo controlled release from the gum base for relatively long periods, for example, for 30 to 60 minutes or more, during which time the chewing gum delivers a sweet taste unaccompanied by a metallic or bitter after-taste.

Cookie production with extrusion heat treatment and post extrusion mixing and baking

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to the production of cookies which exhibit a cookie crumb-like structure and structural integrity using a cooker extruder to mix and heat ingredients comprising flour and oil to promote browning and flavor development. The heat treated mass produced in the cooker extruder is admixed with ingredients comprising water in a post extrusion mixer. The dough-like mixture produced in the post extrusion mixer is leavened and further browned using post-extrusion baking, such as microwave, dielectric radio frequency, infrared, conductive, or convection baking, frying, or a combination thereof. The shortening or fat content of the dough-like mixture may be from about 12% by weight to about 40% by weight, preferably from about 20% by weight to about 30% by weight, based upon the weight of the dough-like mixture. Separation of oil from the remaining mass and extruder surging and starch gelatinization are avoided preferably by admixing water into heat-treated ingredients comprising flour and oil after and during substantial cooling of the heat-treated ingredients. The extruder and post extrusion mixer are operated at low pressures, generally less than about 20 bars absolute, preferably less than about 10 bars absolute. The relative amount of solid, crystalline or granulated sugar, such as sucrose, subjected to the heat treatment may be used to control the tenderness and crunchiness of the final product.
