Process for the manufacture of a lozenge comprising sorbitol or fructose and a binder having a dry mass and an even surface comprising the successive steps of (i) preparing a binder solution comprising hydrated gum, gelatin, water, and optionally starch, (ii) preparing a dough by initimately mixing said binder solution with a major amount of crystalline sorbitol or fructose, about 0.1 to 5% by weight with respect to the total mass of the dough of a corbonate in the form of particles which releases CO2 on decomposition, and a stoichiometric amount of an organic acid so as to distribute the carbonate particles and the acid throughout the dough as regular as possible and cause reaction of said carbonate and said acid to release carbon dioxide, (iii) rolling the dough in the form of a layer of thickness selected in advance, (iv) hardening the surface of the rolled dough, (v) cutting it up into lozenges of the desired shape, and (vi) drying the thus obtained lozenges, to provide a lozenge having said even surface and dry mass and having a plurality of homogeneously distributed microcavities at least some of which communicate with the surface of the lozenge.
