| Abstract: |
A non-staling, reduced density bubble gum composition is provided by a method wherein a bubble gum composition having a preselected bubble gum base composition is aerated with an inert gas in a pressurized environment. In a preferred embodiment, aeration of the bubble gum composition is achieved by the injection of nitrogen gas into the bubble gum composition during a pressurized extrusion of the gum.

What is claimed is:
1. A non-staling, reduced density bubble gum composition having a density of about 1.07 to about 1.12, said bubble gum composition including a bubble gum base composition that is stable in the presence of an inert gas, said bubble gum base composition comprising in weight percent:
- (a) about 0.5% to about 30% non-SBR elastomer selected from the group consisting of synthetic gums, synthetic elastomers, natural gums, natural elastomers and mixtures thereof,
- (b) an effective amount of a combination of two polyvinyl acetate polymeric materials selected from:
- (1) not more than 14% of a polyvinyl acetate having a lower molecular weight of about 12,000 to about 16,000; and
- (2) not more than 35% of a polyvinyl acetate having a medium molecular weight of about 35,000 to 55,000; wherein the polyvinyl acetate polymeric materials are present in a mole ratio of 1:2 to 1:45 based on the low molecular weight polyvinyl acetate to the medium molecular weight polyvinyl acetate; and
- (c) about 5% to about 12% acetylated monoglyceride having a saponification value above about 400.
