ABSTRACT:
Chewing gum products containing oligofructose and methods of making such products are disclosed. In one embodiment, the oligofructose is used in a rolling compound applied to the chewing gum product. In a second embodiment, the oligofructose is used in a coating, such as a hard-shell coating, for a pellet gum. In a third embodiment, oligofructose is used in the center fill of a chewing gum. In a fourth embodiment, aspartame is used to sweeten the gum composition and oligofructose is provided, preferably in an effective amount to stabilize the aspartame such that after eight weeks of storage at 85.degree. F., at least 5% less aspartame decomposes than would have decomposed if the oligofructose were not included. Oligofructose is also codried with other sweeteners, coevaporated to make syrups and used as an encapsulating agent for high-intensity sweeteners or flavors used in gum compositions.
