ABSTRACT:
A non-adhesive chewing gum base comprising a gluten component and a protein condensing agent which promotes cross-linking among gluten proteins forming the gluten component. Preferably the gluten is a wheat gluten and the protein condensing agent is a tannin. The base may also comprise an emulsifying agent, a plasticizing agent and whole wheat flour. Sweeteners, flavors and colors may be added to the gluten-based mixture to produce a desirable chewing gum. The gluten-based chewing gum is light in texture and will not adhere to dentures or fillings when chewed. Ingredients in the gluten-based chewing gum are all natural and will not be harmful if the gum is accidentally swallowed. The chewing gum is formed through low temperature extrusion or by freeze fragmentation processes.
