Unlike a piece of candy, chewing gum is not the simple snack you eat in your spare time. It is in fact an enjoyable combination of various chemicals that are collectively known as gum base. This gum base acts like a canvas on which to create an assortment of chewing gums, all with their individual list of ingredients that differ form manufacturer and type.
There is a long manufacturing process of gum base, where the polymers are mixed together large elastomer and waxes. Curiously, this process looks less like something you would see in a candy-based gum product and more akin to how plastics are made. It helps to create a chewy, rubber-bound material that keeps its shape even after prolonged chewing.
Given the centuries-long tradition (that started with our ancestors during ancient times) of gum chewing in both adults and kids, it is quite interesting when we reflect on this practice for children. Ancient people may have chewed on resins or tree bark. By the 19th century, enterprises such as Wrigley and Adams had ventured into commercial chewing gum production. This was a huge turning point in the availability of gum, to not just royalty. Bubblem making gum was introduced, further spiking the popularity and variety of gums (the same Weingarten article).
Today, chewing gum production in America is about six million pounds per year. The process of production includes a secret blending techniques for the gums base along passing through heating then shaping in different form using cutting or extrusion method.
Although chewing gum does have a few benefits like improving oral health and helping with digestion - be aware of cons too. Plus, a lot of gum products have hidden added sugars and/or artificial sweeteners that can slowly add up to damage your teeth over time.and health in general. Over-chewing the gum can also result in problems like bulging gums, tooth sensitivity to hot and cold or pain of the jaw which could be a symptom of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders resulting discomfort on your face muscles and jaws. Additionally, certain gum brands might include the addition of foreign substances (including BHT or titanium oxide) that could possibly build up in your system over time and present health risks.
Using gum base as an ingredient in this way is a really versatile tool and allows you to create a large spectrum of flavors or textures by adding different kinds of additives, flavorings. The best gum in the world comes with a myriad of flavor options - from those typical mint or fruit flavors to some that are utterly bonkers, like bacon or even wasabi! Moreover, the texture of some gums is soft to chew whereas a few have higher resilience and are denser.
Chewing gum companies are looking into healthier, more sustainable options for their ingredients and manufacturing processes as sustainability becomes further ingrained in other markets. New gum materials such as chicle (a Central American natural tree sap) or plant-based rubbers, bioplastics... could reintroduce some level of eco-friendliness in the chewing-gum production.
