For those of you that are interested on knowing more and more about technological aspects around chewing gum, I can reccommend the book “Formulation and Production of Chewing and Bubble Gum”, by Douglas Fritz. You can find it in different internet stores ( http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/en/book.aspx?bookID=1965 or http://www.amazon.com/Formulation-production-chewing-bubble-gum/dp/0955808529 and others). In this book you will find the top relevant issues that interest you.

I just read this book – including your chapter. I was lucky to find one new at a very low price. Very useful to me as I just started a gum production line in Japan. Do you know of any online forums that discuss forumlation, production, machinery, etc? I have always found forums useful when getting started in something new.
