Conventional SBR does not have the soft and smooth chew characteristics needed in chewing gum base for soft chew applications. Conventional SBR typically also has undesirable odor and taste characteristics that have generally limited its use in chewing gum base formulations. However, there is a desire to use SBR in such applications because it is relatively inexpensive. The present invention also specifically discloses a process for synthesizing styrene-butadiene rubber that is particularly useful in manufacturing chewing gum base for soft chew applications which comprises copolymerizing about 1 phm to about 12 phm styrene and about 88 phm to about 99 phm of 1,3-butadiene in an aqueous emulsion, wherein said copolymerization is conducted at a temperature which is within the range of about 1° C. to about 20° C., and wherein said copolymerization is initiated with an initiator system which is comprised of (a) a free radical generator, (b) a reducing agent selected from the group consisting of ascorbic acid, isoascorbic acid, and ascorbic acid derivatives having the structural formula: wherein R is an alkyl group containing from 1 to 30 carbon atoms, and (c) a water-soluble metal salt of iron, copper, cobalt, nickel, tin, titanium, vanadium, manganese, chromium or silver. |

Chewing gum are obtained by entrapping a liquid within a mass of gum, blast freezing the gum and entrapped liquid, and increasing the temperature to just below the melting point of the liquid, causing the liquid crystals to anneal. By manipulating the size and/or morphology of the frozen liquid crystals, one can thereby manipulate the internal structure of the gum. Optionally, the liquid can contain a drug in solution. If the solvent is then removed, the drug is left in the interstices of the gum. The rate of release of the drug from the gum is thus determined by the distribution of the drug within the gum arising from the annealing step. This method of manufacturing a chewing gum avoids the use of elevated temperatures, and is particularly suitable for entrapping thermolabile substances. |
