ABSTRACT:
A method of prolonging the shelf life of stick chewing gum, and a shelf-stable chewing gum prepared according to the method, are provided. Chewing gum sheet is coated on both sides with an aqueous solution of an edible film forming agent which, when partially dried, serves as an adhesive. A layer of wax is then applied to each of the layers of edible film forming agent. Stick chewing gum prepared according to the method of the invention does not absorb or lose moisture as fast as conventional, uncoated chewing gum sticks.
