Gum-Base:
Gumcorp produces gum base which is non-nutritive, non-digestible, water-insoluble delivery system used to carry sweeteners, flavors and any other desired substances in chewing gum and bubble gum. It provides all the basic textural and properties of gum.
Gum Base is produced through a blend of raw materials which can be categorized in five classes:
Elastomers act as the key ingredient and provide elasticity
Resins act as binders and softeners
Plasticizers render the elastomer soft to ensure thorough blending of the gum base
Fillers contribute to the overall texture
Antioxidants prevent oxidation of the gum base and flavors during shelf life
