National Chewing Gum Day: What CREMER OLEO brings to the chew
Glycerine: Keeping chewing gum soft and chewy
Hard chewing gum? Not exactly a treat. That's why manufacturers use ingredients such as glycerine. It helps retain moisture and keeps chewing gum soft and pliable. It can also serve as a solvent for flavourings. In the food industry, glycerine is also known as E 422.
CREMER OLEO is one of the world's largest independent suppliers of vegetable glycerine. We supply this versatile raw material in different purity grades, qualities and packaging sizes.
Sorbitol: Sweetness without the sugar
If you reach for sugar-free chewing gum, you may have spotted sorbitol on the ingredients list. This sugar alcohol, also known as E 420, adds sweetness while helping to retain moisture. Two jobs for one ingredient – pretty handy!
Sorbitol is also part of the CREMER OLEO portfolio. The product is derived from corn. We keep it in stock in Europe, enabling us to supply our customers quickly and flexibly.
MCT oil: Bringing flavour into the mix
Chewing gum that tastes of nothing? That takes the fun out of chewing pretty quickly. MCT oil can serve as a carrier for flavourings in chewing gum. It can also help keep the gum soft and pliable. And because MCT oil is flavourless, it doesn't interfere with the taste.
CREMER OLEO offers MCT oil in various compositions and grades, including food-grade options.
