Excipient

Versatility for extruded and compressed chewing gum

Nutraceutical or pharmaceutical chewing gum can be obtained by using gum base or powder excipient.

The choice depends on the type of ingredient, sensorial profile definition of the final product and available production machinery.

Cafosa offers its Health in Gum® product, a ready-to-use compressible powder for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.

Health in Gum® is a homogenous free-flowing powder that already contains all ingredients needed to produce chewing gum from gum base to sweeteners or softeners. This combination readily accepts an active ingredient and runs on standard tablet presses just like any other direct-compression excipient combination.

Chewing gum with active ingredients is ideally produced with Health in Gum® as its production limits temperature and moisture levels.
