A stabilized chewing gum product containing an L-aspartic acid derived sweetener in its free form and method for manufacture thereof are disclosed. The chewing gum product includes at least two portions, one of which includes, in its free form, Aspartame (APM) as an artificial, low calorie sweetener. Also included in the APM-containing portion can be an organic acid which will maintain the pH of the portion at a level conducive to maintaining the stability of APM. A second portion can include flavoring agents, and optionally, at least one moisture-containing agent. The portions are arranged in surface-to-surface relationship whereby contact between the APM and the flavorings and/or moisture-containing agent of the second portion is substantially reduced. The stability of APM and, consequently, of the chewing gum product is substantially increased.
本发明公开了一种稳定口香糖产品,其中含有一种游离形式的
L-天门冬氨酸衍生
甜味剂及其制造方法。该口香糖产品至少包括两部分,其中一部分以游离形式包括作为人工低热量
甜味剂的
阿斯巴甜(
APM)。在含
APM 的部分中还可以包括一种有机酸,它可以将该部分的 pH 值保持在有利于维持
APM 稳定性的
水平。第二部分可以包括调味剂,也可以包括至少一种保湿剂。这些部分以表面对表面的关系排列,从而大大减少了
APM 与第二部分的调味剂和/或含湿剂之间的接触。这样
APM 的稳定性以及口香糖产品的稳定性就大大提高了。
