Abstract
Chewing gums and other comestible are made with an indigestible dextrin that has been purified to remove fermentable components. The purified indigestible dextrin has a human plaque acidity test pH response of 5.7 or greater. The purified indigestible dextrin comprises at least in part, and in some instances, all of the bulking agent in a non-cariogenic chewing gum.
