Abstract
Chewing gum and chewing gum bases containing vinyl laurate/vinyl acetate copolymer as a primary elastomer component are provided. The gum compositions also contain certain elastomer plasticizers, softeners, and low melting point waxes. The chewing gum bases provided are substantially free of polyvinyl acetate and glycerol triacetate, and are particularly useful in bubble gum compositions.
