First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of preparing chewing gum containing a plaque disrupting active ingredient comprising:
- a. admixing a plaque disrupting active ingredient and a molten edible polyol;
b. cooling the molten polyol containing the plaque disrupting active ingredient; and
c. combining the cooled material with a gum base and optional flavoring and sweetening ingredients,wherein said polyol is selected from the group consisting of polyols containing 5-12 carbon atoms substituted with 5-9 hydroxyl groups.

Abstract
The present invention is directed towards chewing gums and the preparation thereof containing a plaque disrupting mixture or emulsion. The plaque disrupting mixture or emulsion comprises a surfactant and a polydimethyl siloxane insoluble in said surfactant and is complexed with a polyol prior to preparation of the gum. The components of this ingredient do not separately blend into the gum base, but remain in particulate form.
