| Abstract: |
This invention is directed to an improved low density chewing gum or bubble gum product and method of making the same, characterized in that the same defines a matrix encompassing a network of gas filled cells, the density of the product being in the neighborhood of about 0.5. The invention further relates to a method of making said product which includes the steps of heating an essentially conventional gum formulation to a temperature at which the mass is a viscous liquid, whipping the mass, pouring the mass into molds, rapidly reducing the temperature of the mass while subjecting the same to vacuum and, after curing, removing the same from the molds.

Having thus described the invention and illustrated its use, what is claimed as new and is desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:
1. The method of manufacturing a low density chewing gum product which comprises the steps of:
- heating a chewing gum composition to cause the same to liquefy;
- gasifying said molten gum mass to homogeneously introduce thereinto a gaseous component and reduce the density of said mass;
- introducing said gasified mass into a mold;
- introducing said gasified and molten mass in said mold to a vacuum environment to cause said mass to expand; and
- maintaining said mass in said expanded condition in said vacuum environment until the same becomes shape-retaining at ambient conditions of temperature and pressure.
