Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a spherical chewing gum with a pattern on its surface.

[Prior Art] Chewing gum has conventionally been composed of a gum base mixed with sweeteners, flavorings, and the like. By repeatedly chewing this chewing gum in your mouth,
You can enjoy its sweet taste and aroma. Furthermore, chewing gum has various shapes, such as plate-shaped ones, spherical ones, and cubic ones. In the case of a spherical gum base, the surface of the spherical gum base is surrounded by a sugar coating agent, and
It is coated with a polishing agent to give it a glossy appearance.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, although there are many chewing gums that can be enjoyed and enjoyed as described above, there has been no chewing gum that is beautiful and enjoyable to look at.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a patterned spherical chewing gum that can be enjoyed both by taste and sight, in which the user can enjoy the colorful hues and the chewy and light texture.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has one or more recesses or grooves formed on the surface of a white or light-colored gum base sphere, and the surface of the gum base sphere is opaque or A sugar coating agent containing a translucent coloring agent and a sweetener is coated so as to fill the recesses or grooves formed on the surface to create a dark pattern, and a polishing agent is coated on the sugar coating agent. It is something that

[Function] Patterns with different concentrations appear depending on the depth of the recesses or grooves formed on the surface of the gum base sphere, and various patterns can be created depending on the shape of the recesses or grooves.

[Example] Next, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, 10 is a spherical chewing gum with a pattern, and gum base spheres 11
, a sugar coating agent 12 and a polishing agent 13.

The gum base sphere 11 is milky white and has a rugby ball-shaped cavity 14 inside, and in this example, twelve crescent-shaped grooves 16 are formed at equal intervals on the surface.

The sugar coating agent 12 is prepared by uniformly kneading a sweetener, a flavoring agent, and an opaque red colorant made from red cabbage. This sugar coating agent 12 is a gum base sphere 1
A gum base sphere 11 is coated so as to fill in the grooves 16 on the surface of the gum base sphere 11 and form a true sphere. That is, the sugar-coating agent 12 in the grooves 16 is formed thickly, resulting in a crescent-shaped crimson pattern 12a, and the other portions of the sugar-coating agent 12 are formed thinly, resulting in a pale pink color. A polishing agent 13 is further coated on the sugar coating agent 12 that coats the gum base spheres 11. The patterned spherical chewing gum 10 configured in this way has differences in the thickness of the sugar coating agent 12 coated on the surface of the gum base spheres 11. As a result, 12 crimson stripes 12a appear on the surface, allowing you to enjoy the glossy and colorful colors before biting.

In addition, in this example, 12
Although the number of grooves is formed in one row, the number of grooves may be 11 or less or 13 or more.

Alternatively, instead of crescent-shaped grooves, a large number of small circular depressions 17 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 may be formed on the surface of the gum base sphere to create the dark polka dot pattern 12b. good.

Further, the shape of the recesses or grooves formed on the surface of the gum base sphere may be other shapes than those described above, such as triangles, quadrangles, rhombuses, and the shapes of animals and plants.

Moreover, the gum base sphere 11 is not limited to milky white,
It may be pure white or the light color of a gum-based fabric, and the coloring agent is not limited to red but may be any other color as long as it is a dark color. Furthermore, the colorant is not limited to an opaque colorant, but may also be a translucent colorant.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, according to the invention, recesses or grooves are formed on the surface of the gum base sphere, and due to the difference in the thickness of the sugar coating agent coated on the recesses or grooves, the surface is colored with dark and light colors. You can enjoy seeing the color as it appears, and you can also enjoy the chewy, light texture when you bite into it.
