 | | The gum base is melted at a temperature of about 115 °C, until it has the viscosity of thick maple syrup, and filtered through a fine mesh screen. | | | Here are the other ingredients added: powdered sugar, whose amount and grain size determines the brittleness of the result, corn syrup and/or glucose which serve as humectants, coat the sugar particles and stabilize their suspension, and keep the gum flexible, various softeners, food colorings, flavorings, preservatives and other additives. | | | The homogenized mixture is then poured onto cooling belts, and cooled with cold air. |

| | The Story Of Gum |
| | The gum base is melted in large, steam-jacketed kettles which heat it to about 240 degrees F. At this point it achieves the consistency of thick maple syrup. | | | Corn syrup, sugar, and flavoring agents are later added to the gum base in the gum-making process. | | | Throughout the process, the melted gum base is kept hot. |

| | Chewing Gum Background Information |
| | Gum is often as much as 60% sugar, but this report avers that sugar does not have to be listed as the first ingredient. | | | A typical gum wrapper label might say something like, "Made of gum base, sugar, corn syrups, flavor, and softeners." In reality, only two of these ingredients are actually recognizable: gum base, flavor, and softeners do not refer to any specific substances. | | | Unfortunately, the cocoa butter in chocolate acts as an emulsifier on the chewing gum base, making it unacceptably soft and destroying the chewability of the product. |

| | Chewing gum sticks consist of 70% soluble confections of sugar, fructose and dextrose from corn syrup, with essential oils such as peppermint, spearmint, cinnamon and cloves, which are volatile aromatic terpenes and like rubber, are based upon the isoprene molecule, other artificial flavouring compounds may also be used. | | | In the fastest growing market, "sugar free gum", sweetening additives are used such as aspartame (Nutrasweet), saccharin and cyclamate (banned in many countries, including the US) but are bulked up with the equally fattening, low cost but not sweet tasting starch. | | | The masticatory quality of vegetable gums and resins can be traced to Nilotic peoples. |

| | Every time you swallow, your saliva - now loaded with oxygen and zinc molecules - bathes the back of your tongue, throat, tonsils area, and even the very beginning of your esophagus, a formerly ignored hiding place for anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria. | | | The Grecians chewed mastic gum (pronounced mas-tee-ka), which is the resin obtained from the bark of the mastic tree, a shrublike tree found mainly in Greece and Turkey. | | | Over the mid 1800's, spruce gum was gradually replaced by paraffin wax gum to which sweeteners were added, however the one drawback of paraffin wax gum was that it required heat and moisture from the mouth in order to render it suitable for chewing. |
