METHOD FOR PRODUCING CHEWING-GUM WITH IMPROVED HARDNESS, CONTAINING XYLITOL, USING AN ANTI-CAKING AGENT, AND CHEWING-GUM THUS OBTAINED

摘要

The present invention preferably relates to a method for producing a chewing gum composition containing xylitol introduced as a polyol in powder form by introducing at least one caking inhibitor having a specific surface area BET of at least 200 m ² / g into the composition . The hardness of the chewing gum thus obtained is increased, and this increase is desirable, for example, to prevent center deformation in the sugar turbine or to improve the stick packing speed. The anti-caking agent is pre-mixed with the powder xylitol. The present invention further relates to a powder composition of xylitol and an anti-caking agent.
