A synthetic non-styrene-butadiene rubber gum base is provided which has non-stick properties, retains its softness over extended periods of time even without the presence of antioxidants and improves or extends sweetness and flavor when used in either sugar or sugarless chewing gums and contains polyisobutylene and a mixture of polyvinyl acetate, triacetin and glyceryl monostearate as film forming-plasticizing agents together with polyterpene, polyethylene, wax, glyceryl monostearate, fatty acid esters and filler. A chewing gum containing this gum base and method for preparing same are also provided.

A chewing gum base which has excellent shelf-life and remains soft over extended periods of time, comprising a polyisobutylene elastomer or a mixture of medium and lower molecular weight polyisobutylene elastomers having a molecular weight within the range of from about 750,000 to 1,300,000, and 37,

A chewing gum base which has excellent shelf-life and remains soft over extended periods of time, comprising a polyisobutylene elastomer or a mixture of medium and lower molecular weight polyisobutylene elastomers having a molecular weight within the range of from about 750,000 to 1,300,000, and 37,000 to 80,000, respectively, said polyisobutylene elastomer being present in said base in an amount of at least about 4%, plasticizers comprising glyceryl triacetate and acetylated monoglyceride, one or more hydrophilic-type detackifiers which absorb saliva and become slippery, one or more filler-texturizing agents, one or more softening agents having a melting point above about 22°C., one or more emulsifiers which function as slip agents and impart hydrophilic properties to the elastomer, and an anti-tack combination comprising a polyterpene resin in an amount of from about 4 to about 25% by weight of said gum base, one or more waxes in an amount of from at least 2% to about 25% by weight of said gum base to enhance bite through characteristics, and optionally a polyethylene wax.
