A chewing gum composition having prolonged sweetness duration through the incorporation of a delivery system comprising a high intensity sweetener encapsulated in a first core coating comprising a low molecular weight polyvinylacetate material and a second outer hydrophilic coating. The resulting delivery system provides improved up front sweetness delivery combined with improved thermal stability and corresponding versatility of end use.
