ABSTRACT:
A petroleum wax-free chewing gum with enhanced flavor release, particularly chewing gums with increased perception of breath freshening, are disclosed. Enhanced flavor release is obtained with wax-free chewing gums where the Solubility Parameter, defined as ##EQU1## of at least 5% of the flavoring agent is at least 0.5 units greater than, or less than, the average weighted Solubility Parameter of the gum base used to formulate the wax-free chewing gums of our invention.
The greater the difference in Solubility Parameter of flavoring ingredients to the average weighted Solubility Parameter of the wax-free gum bases, the greater the tendency for enhanced flavor release.
