Abstract
A chewing gum which consists of a chewing gum base, fats or waxes, fillers, additives and active substances, the chewing gum base being present in a particle size of 0.2 to 1 mm, together with the fillers, additives and active substances, in the matrix of fats and waxes. The tablet form is preferably coated with a tablet coating. Production is effected by separately comminuting the chewing gum base on the one hand and the matrix on the other hand at low temperatures, mixing the two types of granules and then pressing the mixture on a cooled tableting press. Finally, the tablets are coated with a covering layer and slowly heated to 40°-45° C.
