Gum and its production.

can be divided into plate-type chewing gum, bubblegum and sugar-coated chewing gum three kinds. Plate chewing gum is the main product of chewing gum, it sells the most. Bubble gum is characterized by the oral exhalation of the sugar body blown into a skin film bubble, it is commonly used gum fat, etc. to strengthen its skin film strength, sugar-coated chewing gum is by rotating kettle on the surface of the chewing gum to hang sugar coating.about 25 percent of the composition of chewing gum, and about 75 percent of sugar and other parts. The quality of the ester gum substrate is directly affecting the quality of chewing gum. As for the spice part, which accounts for only 0.5-2.0%, it is closely related to the viscosity elasticity of the ester glue, which also greatly affects the quality of chewing gum.ingredients formula 1. Ester gel substrate(1) sugar gum gum. The ester gel substrate of chewing gum is made from the characteristics of gum gum, which is taken from the sap of red pine. Most of the world's total production of gum gum is produced in Mexico and Honduras.main components of glucosin resins are dujuan gum (polyethoprene) and resin (composed of triamcinolone and sterols). The soft chewing feeling of the exported gum can be achieved by the elasticity of the duzhong glue and the appropriate ratio of the plasticity of the resin.gum gum as a chewing gum substing is the best, but this gum production is very small, the price is also high.(2) processing sugar gum gum substring. Processed sugar gum refers to the addition of gum gum to other natural gum or add vinyl acetate resin, plasticizers, calcium carbonate and other ingredients mixed with the substrate. As a substitute for sugar gum gum, the natural gum is best known for its festival Luton gum from Java, Sumatra and Borneo. As for other gum production is small, industrial value is also small.The standard composition of the resin substrate with heat resin as the main component is: Du Zhong glue 4 to 9%, ester gum 91 to 96%, gray score 0 to 2%;(3) polyvinyl acetate. Japan used polyvinyl acetate as a chewing gum substrate after the war, and also treated it as a representative raw material. Polyethylene acetate should be good at using a polymerization of 200 to 700, and with a relatively low polymerization, there is a branching molecular structure is good. In order to make the finished product taste soft, chewing gum is also good. The polymerization of bubblegum should be 500 to 600, and the use of plate chewing gum should be 200 to 400. In short, the higher the polymerization, the more elastic it is, but add plasticizers. However, a polymerization of 200 can not add plastic agents.gum gum is a hydrophobic substance. In contrast, ethylene acetate is a hydrophotic substance. Ethylene acetate is not as good as sugar gum in maintaining aroma, but in order to make ethylene acetate close to the role played by gum gum, it is also suitable for ligation polymerization. This polymer is the main component of the synthetic gum substation and can be used to make chewing gum.(4) polysobutene. Polysobutene is a representative substance of non-polar polymers, which can be used as a supplement to ethylene acetate when used as a chewing gum substrate.(5) vinegar gum. Vinegar gum is a vinegar product made by reacting with pine resin and glycelin. It can be used as a skin film to strengthen bubblegum.(6) plasticizer. There are three types of plasticizers:(1) microcrystalline paraffin. Microcrystalline paraffin is a substance made from wax obtained from petroleum refining and then extracted from the microcrystalline part of the wax. Microcrystalline paraffin gives soft and lubricity to chewing gum and, in winter, prevents brittleness of finished products.(2) wax. In addition to the plasticizers mentioned above, small candle wax, honey wax, Brazilian palm wax and paraffin can also be used to enhance the plasticity of chewing gum. As for the use of vegetable oils, lecithin, monoglycerides and spices can also play a role in softening chewing gum.(3) synthetic plasticizers, synthetic plasticizers in Japan are allowed to use butyl phosphonate. (D, B, P), butylbutyl glycol poly (B, P, B, G), acetyl-based methamphetamine (M, C, R), polybutene and other additions.(7) filler. Calcium carbonate or talcum powder, a fine powder used as a filler, can properly inhibit the elasticity of chewing gum, while also preventing the adhesion of the gum itself. 2. Other ingredients (1) sugar and other sugars. Sugar is also one of the important raw materials of chewing gum, to use more than 250 fine powdered sugar as well. The same is true for the use of glucose and starch sugar. The smaller the granularity, the more lubrication the finished product can be made. (2) spices. The quality of spices in chewing gum is also one of the most important reasons for determining the value of chewing gum products, and it is used more than when used in pastries. About 1% is used in the production of plate-type chewing gum, and about 0.6-0.8% in the production of bubblegum. have used oily spices in the past to maintain affinity with the gum substitique. But this does not adjust the aroma of chewing gum. The flavor of chewing gum is intended to last its aroma, but also to show its flavor. Therefore, powder spices are often used at the same time. Powder spices are quick-acting. Good dispersion of saliva, no local concentration changes, good taste. , mint oil, and fruit from the spices you use in general. There is also the use of coffee, mint, artery or plum dry. (3) interface active agents, antioxidants, artificial
