ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method for producing a chewing gum with a delayed release protein sweetener as well as the chewing gum so produced. The delayed release protein sweetener is obtained by forming an aqueous solution of gelatin and a protein sweetener selected from the group consisting of thaumatin and monellin. This solution is dried and particle sized to thereby produce sweetener-containing particles of a gelatin matrix. A quantity of these particles is mixed with a limited quantity of a solution of zein. Preferably, the zein is dissolved in water with a pH between about 11.5 and about 12.1. The quantity of the zein solution being added is limited to thereby produce a damp mix which is characterized as being dust free, non-flowing, and crumbly. The damp mix is dried and then particle sized to thereby produce zein-coated sweetener-containing particles within a predetermined particle size range, which particles are added to a chewing gum formulation.
