Encapsulated sweetener composition method for the preparation thereof and chewing gum comprising same

摘要

Delayed release in chewing gum of a sweetener is provided by encapsulating the sweetener in specific amounts of a poly(vinyl acetate) a filler and a fatty acid salt. When incorporated into a chewing gum the sweetener encapsulated in poly(vinyl acetate) filler and fatty acid salt provides a more delayed release of a sweet flavor than a sweetener encapsulated in poly(vinyl acetate) alone.
