Abstract

A chewing gum composition is disclosed that contains about 0.1% to about 0.6% maltodextrin. The maltodextrin provides an initial stiffness so that the gum can be easily wrapped. However, at the low levels used, the maltodextrin does not have a significant impact on the chew properties of the gum.
