项目名称
爱尔兰生物可降解口香糖胶基项目寻找中国代理商
Biodegradable Chewing Gum Base
项目介绍
目前口香糖造成了越来越多的环境问题，除去粘在街道、人行道和其他设施上的口香糖成为地方政府的巨大负担。本发明是一种新型的可生物降解的口香糖，使用谷类蛋白、水和各种糖以及一种独特的制造过程。经过这种处理的产品的粘胶性能可以和目前市售口香糖媲美。由于该产品的配料极为便宜和容易获得，所以使得该产品具有极大的商业价值。近年来的消费趋势朝向更天然的产品，也由于口香糖造成的环境问题，消费趋势朝向不出售口香糖发展。该产品的生物降解性能将解决口香糖制造业的所有问题。使生产商在保持自己市场消费份额的情况下，带给消费者更多的选择。
目前该胶基的研究工作正在继续进行中，以进一步改善其粘胶性能和口感，目前该产品可咀嚼45分钟以上，具有很好的口感、甜度和粘着性。有趣的是，这款产品能够在体内被分解，因此可以吃掉。
该实验室成果适用于各种高精密度要求的光学分析系统光源，能满足国内外市场需求。外方期望以许可合作等方式开展合作。

VALUE PROPOSITION
Currently, chewing gum makes up a significant amount of all food discarded world wide (approximately 25%) leading to a growing number of environmental problems. Currently, there is a significant burden on local authorities to remove chewing gum on streets, pavements and other amenities. The invention described here relates to a novel edible biodegradable chewing gum that is produced using a novel recipe based on cereal proteins, water and various sugars and a unique manufacturing process.This treatment results in a significant modification of the viscoelastic properties of the base product resulting in a product with comparable properties to chewing gums currently available commercially. This product would be readily adaptable for use in commercial applications due to the fact that the ingredients used are extremely cheap and readily available. Consumer trends in recent times towards more natural products and also the trend towards not selling chewing gum due to its problematic environmental impact will ensure the commercial potential of this edible biodegradable chewing gum.This novel product offers solutions to both problems ensuring that current chewing gum manufacturers producers maintain their market share whilst giving consumers a more natural and guilt free alternative.
THE TECHNOLOGY
Currently the gum is a prototype base product and research is ongoing to make improvements to the viscoelastic and organoleptic properties. The current recipe for the edible biodegradable gum is very pleasing organoleptically, being sweet to taste as well as remaining cohesive when chewed for up to forty-five minutes. With respect to appearance the product resembles current gum bases which are available on the market. The gum base is not sticky to touch once manufacturing or treatment is complete however it does develop stickiness characteristic similar to that of regular gum once chewed. Interestingly, this product is capable of being broken down in the body and so can be readily eaten.
