Abstract

PURPOSE: To obtain a chewing gum not sticking to a floor and good for the human teeth. CONSTITUTION: This chewing gum is obtained by mixing a chewing gum base with an appropriate amount of water 2 incorporated with polysaccharide(s) extracted from seaweed and/or seaweed powder, perfume 3 formulated with calcium and vitamins D and B and additive(s) such as sweetener. Owing to the polysaccharide(s), the chewing gum, when drawn out of the mouth after chewed, gets hard and turns to be nonsticky to a floor, leading to facilitating sweeping it and having environmentally benefictial effect for preserving various facilities. Besides, owing to mixing of additives such as calcium and vitamins D and B, this chewing gum is highly good for human health.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to chewing gum, and more particularly to chewing gum that does not stick to the floor and is good for teeth.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, chewing gum is basically manufactured by mixing a gum base with a flavor or sweetener.

[0003]

By the way, the conventional chewing gum has a scent and sweetness, but on the other hand, if it is thrown out from the mouth and thrown on the floor or the like, it cannot be adhered and removed, and it is very difficult to clean. This is a problem because it affects the preservation of the facility and the environment, and it adheres to shoes. Moreover, the amount of calcium, which is important for teeth, was insufficient.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a chewing gum which does not stick to the floor or shoes and which is good for teeth.

[0005]

The present invention is characterized in that a chewing gum base is blended with "seaweed powder and / or polysaccharides extracted from seaweed", so that it does not stick to the floor or the like, even if it adheres to the floor. The chewing gum is characterized by being easy to remove and additionally containing calcium, thereby providing a chewing gum good for teeth.

That is, the gist of the present invention is "a chewing gum characterized in that a chewing gum base is mixed with a seaweed flour and / or a polysaccharide extracted from seaweed and calcium." (Claim 1) Further, the gist is to further mix "vitamin D" and "vitamin B" with the above chewing gum (claim 2).

[0007]

In the present invention, by adding "seaweed flour and / or polysaccharides extracted from seaweed" to the chewing gum base, the gum after use (after being put out) has excellent dryness. The action of giving occurs. Therefore, there is an effect that it does not stick to the floor and can be easily removed even if it adheres.

[0008] In addition, by adding "calcium", the calcium component can be ingested, and the effect which is good for the teeth and extremely good in terms of health is produced.
Further, by adding "vitamin D" or "vitamin B group", the absorption rate of calcium is improved, and the effect of decomposing glucose contained in the sweetener is enhanced.

The chewing gum according to the present invention functionally has a gum function similar to that of conventional chewing gum, and can be used with confidence. Then, the gum becomes soft by chewing with saliva in the mouth and teeth, and when it is put out of the mouth, it is hardened and does not stick due to the action of the blended "seaweed powder and / or polysaccharide extracted from seaweed". is there.

The chewing gum according to the present invention will be described in detail below. The “seaweed flour, polysaccharides extracted from seaweed” to be blended with the chewing gum according to the present invention is, for example, seaweed flour such as weeds, and polysaccharides extracted from these seaweeds (eg alginsan).

In the present invention, the seaweed flour and the polysaccharide extracted from the seaweed can be blended alone or in combination, and the blending amount thereof is the chewing gum base 100.
Per part by weight: 1 to 10: parts by weight are preferred.

The "calcium", which is the compounding material of the chewing gum according to the present invention, is preferably coral, and its compounding amount is preferably 1.0 to 1.5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the chewing gum base.

Further, as "vitamin D" which is a compounding material of chewing gum according to the present invention, the compounding amount is 0.01 per 100 parts by weight of chewing gum base.
~ 0.05 parts by weight is preferred. Furthermore, "vitamin D"
As the compounding amount, 0.01 to 0.001: parts by weight is preferable per 100 parts by weight of the chewing gum base.

Next, a method for producing chewing gum according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 is a diagram schematically showing each compounding material constituting chewing gum, FIG. 2 is a sectional view when a kneaded product of each compounding material is filled in a mold, and FIG. 3 is a mold. It is a figure which shows the process of cutting the chewing gum raw material after filling a frame, and finishing it into a product.

First, to the gum base 1, water 2 to which an appropriate amount of seaweed flour and / or polysaccharides extracted from seaweed is added, calcium 3, vitamin D and B blend 3 and additives 4 such as flavors and sweeteners are added. (See FIG. 1), and after kneading, the mold 5 sprinkled with the surface powder 6 is filled into the chewing gum material 7 as shown in FIG. Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the chewing gum material 7 is cut to an appropriate thickness and then wrapped with a wrapping paper 8 to obtain a product 9.

[0016]

EXAMPLES Next, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to examples of chewing gum according to the present invention.

(Example 1) Chewing gum base: 10
To 0 parts by weight, 0.5 parts by weight of seaweed powder and 0.5 parts by weight of polysaccharides extracted from seaweed are added: water: 10 parts by weight, coral calcium: 1 part by weight, an appropriate amount of flavor and sweetener. Added to produce chewing gum.

(Example 2) Chewing gum was produced by adding *** part by weight of vitamin D and brewer's yeast as a vitamin B group to the chewing gum of Example 1 in parts by weight.

[0019]

As described in detail above, the present invention is characterized in that the chewing gum base is blended with a substance containing "seaweed flour and / or polysaccharides and calcium extracted from seaweed", vitamin D and vitamin Bs. As a result, it is possible to provide a chewing gum having excellent dry characteristics after use and good for teeth.

That is, since the chewing gum according to the present invention is excellent in the drying property after use, it does not stick to the floor and the like, so that it is easy to clean and, in addition, it has the effect of having a good influence on the environmental preservation of the facility. Also, the addition of calcium can provide chewing gum that is extremely good in terms of health.
