ABSTRACT:
Specific mixtures of tocopherol homologs exhibit surprisingly improved antioxidant effects in mint oil and mint-flavored chewing gum compositions. The mixtures of homologs fall within the range of 7-15% by weight alpha tocopherol, 45-70% by weight gamma tocopherol and 20-35% by weight delta tocopherol. Homologue mixtures within this range are superior to the constituent homologs used alone, and to other homologue mixtures, in terms of antioxidant effects. The compositions of the invention facilitate the replacement of controversial synthetic antioxidants currently used in mint oil and mint-flavored chewing gum, with naturally occurring tocopherols.
