Abstract
The present invention is method and composition for protecting a flavoring ingredient and providing controlled release therefor, especially in a chewing gum composition, which includes a high molecular weight polyvinyl acetate blended with a hydrophobic plasticizer which forms a film with the high molecular weight polyvinyl acetate in the absence of an added solvent therefor. The flavoring, is blended into the encapsulating composition as, for example, by melt blend which can then be cooled to a solid and ground into particulate.
