The water-soluble phase of chewing gum includes sweeteners (sugar and/or sugar alcohol) and In recent decades, the consumption of chewing gum has physiological cooling and warming agents [1, 2]. Although grown tremendously worldwide, especially among children the water-soluble phase of chewing gum is almost entirely and teenagers [1]. The main benefits of chewing gum are biodegradable, the water-insoluble phase (almost always that it helps fight tooth decay, improves concentration, eases synthetic gum base) is non-biodegradable and remains in the tension, freshens breath and reduces the urge to smoke, pro- environment for a long time. Chewing gum residue can also vides a low-calorie snack, helps one stay alert and awake, be perceived as an environmental pollutant, when discarded acts as a pleasant way to take vitamins and medicine and gum becomes a sticky residue adhered to surfaces in public reduces ear discomfort during flight travel. People enjoy places; therefore, its removal can be a costly and time-con- chewing gum particularly as a confection and latterly as an suming process. Moreover, littered chewing gum can also aid in TI - Production of Bio-chewing Gum Based on Saqqez as the Biopolymer: Its Biodegradability and Textural Properties JF - Journal of Polymers and the Environment DO - 10.1007/s10924-018-1244-1 DA - 2018-06-15 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/production-of-bio-chewing-gum-based-on-saqqez-as-the-biopolymer-its-OMa6s226i5 SP - 3889 EP - 3901 VL - 26 IS - 9 DP - DeepDyve ER -
