ABSTRACT:
The soluble, rubber-containing, coated chewable tablet contains chewable components, syrup components and fat or wax components and optionally fillers. It can be prepared by a process in which pulverulent chewable components are mixed with the molten fat or wax components. The mixture, with the addition of at least one syrup component, then becomes a crumbly material, which is then cooled to below 0° C., then milled to a particle size of not more than 5 mm and, after cooling to below 10° C., compressed to give tablets which are coated in a known manner. The finished product—due to compression of the cooled granules—presumably has a partially granular structure in which the moisture has been initially immobilized by the low temperature. After compression, this moisture becomes mobile as a result of heating (in particular during the coating process) and migrates or diffuses—initially at the surface—into the water-soluble ingredients present. These are partially dissolved and give a highly viscous, thixotropic, chewable material.
