Abstract
Abstract An inherently non-tacky chewing gum which does not adhere to dentures, fillings, or natural teeth is described. The chewing gum includes a base containing elastomers such as polyisobutylene, polyisoprene, isobutylene-isoprene copolymer or butadiene-styrene copolymer, present in from 5-35%; hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils or animal fats, present in from 5-50%; mineral adjuvants, present in from 5-40%; and polyvinyl acetate which may be present in up to 55%; fatty acids which may be present in up to 20%, and mono and diglycerides of fatty acids which may be present in up to 10%, by weight of the base composition.
