Raw Materials – Acids (cont.)<br />
Acids can <strong>in</strong>teract with other <strong>in</strong>gredients (such as sweeteners and flavors) to enhance<br />
or degrade sensorial properties of gum.<br />
Acids must be stored properly to keep them from block<strong>in</strong>g / bridg<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Acids may fade or bleach some colors (most prevalent <strong>in</strong> red colors)<br />
When a formula conta<strong>in</strong>s acid, it should be made with a gum base that only conta<strong>in</strong>s<br />
talc as its filler - Gum bases conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g Calcium Carbonate as a filler should not<br />
be used. Thorough clean-outs need to be conducted of products that conta<strong>in</strong>ed any<br />
CaCO 3 gum base before the gum is made<br />
Care must be taken to avoid cross contam<strong>in</strong>ation of acid with alkal<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong>gredients –<br />
such as CaCO 3 . This filler will react with the acid if mixed. As a result:<br />
The acid is consumed as it reacts with the Calcium Carbonate<br />
The base is compromised and the resultant gum tends to be tacky, or can fall apart<br />
when chewed<br />
