Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a chewing gum composition, and more particularly, to a breath freshening chewing gum with encapsulated flavors and actives having both instant and long range breath freshening capacity.
  • the invention also relates to breath-freshening encapsulations for use with various confectionery carriers.
  • breath stabilizers are also relatively volatile and therefore present storage stability problems in such delivery mechanisms as chewing gum.
  • breath fresheners react quite readily with one another, thereby reducing their overall breath-freshening capacity rather quickly over time. It is this neutralization problem, as well as the aforesaid volatilization of the actives upon exposure to ambient conditions, that has heretofore inhibited the development of a truly long-lasting breath-protection gum product.
  • the present invention provides a chewing gum composition for instant and extended release breath freshening.
  • the chewing gum composition has a gum base which is masticated by the user. Combined with the gum base are at least one wetting agent and at least one immediate release flavor ingredient. The immediate release flavor ingredient initiates the breath freshening action in the mouth and its effect is quickly sensed by the user.
  • the chewing gum composition also includes at least one material selected from the group consisting of emulsifiers. Also included in the chewing gum composition is at least one encapsulation selected from the group consisting of flavor encapsulations, metallic ion encapsulations, and organic substance encapsulations. As hereinafter described, these encapsulations provide for longer range protection from malodorous substances in both the mouth and the stomach.
  • breath freshening flavors and ingredients can be made to remain fairly dormant and thus storage stable in a chewing gum composition until released via mastication by the consumer.
  • a multitude of these substances may be combined into a gum base.
  • the encapsulation is so pervasive and extensive that continued chewing action by the user over a substantial period of time is required to "burst" or release all the active breath protection ingredients from the gum matrix.
  • these ingredients can be delivered in a controlled mode over an extended period.
  • their taste can be masked and their unintended neutralization as a result of undesirable interaction with one another can also be significantly reduced.
  • Encapsulation of both flavors and active substances furthermore permits their entry into the stomach (via swallowing) to initiate secondary breath protection, thereby contributing to longer range breath freshening as sulfur compounds in the gut are neutralized. In this way, encapsulation allows for breath freshening over a substantially longer period of time than has been typically achieved in the art.
  • active substances of the composition of the invention are released into the stomach their neutralization of various malodorous sulfur compounds helps to reduce odor which would otherwise emanate from the pores of an individual. Overall body odor is thereby reduced as well.
  • Figure 1 is a graph comparing the effect of various breath freshening formulations on the amount of Volatile Sulfur Compounds in parts per billion after X minutes.
  • Figure 2 is a graph comparing the effect of various breath freshening formulations on the perceived odor of smoking breath after X minutes.
  • Figure 3 is a graph comparing the effect of various breath freshening formulations on the perceived odor of onion breath after X minutes.
  • Breath protection technology has now necessitated the development of a composition and product which affords both instantaneous and enhanced breath freshening over time.
  • the chewing gum composition of the invention comprises a chewing gum base which is taken orally and masticated by the consumer.
  • the gum base can be any substantially water-insoluble substance typically utilized in established chewing gum preparations.
  • suitable polymers can include both natural and synthetic elastomers and rubbers, and combinations thereof. These can be chosen from the list of substances of vegetable origin, such as chicle, jelutong, gutta percha and crown gum.
  • Synthetic elastomers such as butadiene-styrene copolymers, polyethylene, polyisobutylene, polyisoprene, isobutylene- isoprene copolymer, polyvinylacetate, as well as any combination of any of the foregoing substances.
  • the chewing gum base may be present in the composition of the invention in amounts of from about 5 to 85% (unless otherwise specified, all percentages herein are weight percentages based on the total weight of the composition). More typically, the gum base will make up from about 15 to 30% of the formulation, with about 20 to 25% being more preferred.
  • the gum base may contain elastomer solvents to aid in softening the "rubber" component.
  • elastomer solvents to aid in softening the "rubber" component.
  • solvents include many esters of rosins or modified rosins.
  • certain plasticizers or softeners may also be present in the gum base. These are typically compounds utilized in the art, and are well known to the skilled artisan. They include lanolin and many natural waxes. When present, these compounds will comprise up to about 10 - 15% of the gum base, and more preferably will be within the range of about 3 to 10% thereof. The foregoing percentages may vary according to the mouth-feel characteristics sought by the skilled artisan.
  • the chewing gum composition also contains at least one wetting agent.
  • wetting agent refers to a substance which aids the user in moistening the chewing gum for mastication.
  • These wetting agents may be chosen from the non-exhaustive listing of polyols, including sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, sorbitol syrup, xylitol, mannitol and the like.
  • Other highly suitable wetting agents include glycerin and glycerol.
  • Lycasin is also especially preferred.
  • a combination of more than one of the foregoing is utilized as the wetting component of the chewing gum formulation. Highly desirable is a combination of sorbitol, glycerin and lycasin.
  • wetting agents will comprise about 30 to 85% of the chewing gum composition, and more desirably be within the range of about 40 to 75% of the composition. It is especially preferred that the wetting agent(s) make up from about 50 to 75% of the chewing gum composition. It is preferable to also include as part of the chewing gum formulation of the invention at least one member selected from the group consisting of emulsifiers. Lecithin is a preferred emulsifier, but other phospholipid material, as well as monoglycerides and/or diglycerides, and mixtures thereof may be utilized.
  • emulsifiers examples include glycerol momostearate, glycerol triacetate, and propylene glycol monostearate.
  • the emulsifier(s) may be added in amounts from about 0 to 5% of the chewing gum composition, more preferably from about 0.01 to 1% thereof.
  • the chewing gum composition also contains at least one immediate release flavor component.
  • immediate release refers to the release of flavor upon initial mastication of the chewing gum composition. This release of flavor is quickly sensed by the user.
  • the immediate release flavor component is therefore particularly efficacious in initiating the breath freshening activity of the gum composition by masking, neutralizing or even eliminating malodors rather quickly in the mouth.
  • This flavor component of the invention is selected from the group of natural and artificial flavorings and sweeteners normally utilized in the chewing gum industry, as well as any combination thereof.
  • sweeteners would include, for example without limitation, sucrose, glucose, dextrose, invert sugar, fructose, saccharin and its various salts, aspartame, sucralose, sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, hydrogenated starch hydrolysate, acesulfame K, dihydrochalcone compounds, glycyrrhizin, Stevia Rebaudiana (Stevioside) and the like.
