ABSTRACT:
An improved rapidly disintegrating flavored film that quickly and completely disintegrates upon contact with mucosal tissue in the oral cavity of a human includes a hydroxypropyl cellulose, a modified starch and a flavor ingredient. The flavored films of this invention completely disintegrate upon contact with the mucosal tissue in less than a minute, and often in less than 30 seconds, whereas previously known flavored films typically do not complete dissolve, or do not dissolve as rapidly, upon contact with mucosal tissue in the oral cavity of a human. The flavored films of this invention may be advantageously employed as breath freshening films, and in food items to impart flavor and, optionally, to impart functional qualities to the food item.
