Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007100720A2] Some embodiments provide a chewing or bubble gum composition which includes a liquid fill composition and a gum region which surrounds the liquid fill. The gum region has at least two layers in which the gum layer adjacent to the liquid fill includes maltitol. More specifically, in some embodiments, the gum region includes at least a first layer and a second layer. The first layer of the gum region is adjacent to the liquid fill and includes maltitol. In some embodiments, for instance, maltitol may be present in amounts of about 30% to about 80% by weight of the first layer. The second layer of the gum region at least partially surrounds the first layer. The composition may also include a coating region which surrounds the gum region.
