gum base for chewing gum

Just about everyone loves a good piece of chewing gum. Have you ever sat down and thought about the one key element that allows gum to be chewy AND flavorful for days afterwards? Yup, the gum base.. Lately there has been a new trend towards the use of natural gum base instead synthetic alternatives that we were used to in many years. In this article, we shall delve deeper into the reasons for its popularity and discuss some of the many advantages offered by natural gum base while selling chewing gum.

Synthetic Gum BaseThe term synthetic gum base refers to elastic polymers, waxes or resins derived from petrochemicals. Most, if not all of these resources are finite and they also require a large amount energy for their fabrication. Furthermore, the synthetic gum base is not biodegradable and creates a significant environmental issue in terms of its disposal. Meanwhile, natural gum base is made from sustainable and biodegradable materials like the sap of a chicle tree and natural rubber. By opting for natural gum base we can directly contribute to a lower environmental footprint resulting from the production and consumption of chewing gums.

Synthetic gum base and health risks

The ingredients of synthetic gum base: including carcinogens, phthalates or other potentially toxic substances. Continuing exposure to these components can be detrimental to our health. Even more alarming is the fact that these synthetic polymers are non-biodegradable and will probably hang around in our bodies forever. However, natural gum base is devoid of nasty synthetic additives so it might be a safer bet for those keen on chewing. Being biodegradable means it won't hangaround in the body feeling fresh, supposedly for a cleaner chewing experience.
