Description:
Chewing gum is a product familiar to everyone from childhood, which consists of an elastic base and various flavors and aroma additives. In the process of use, it practically does not decrease in volume, but all the fillers gradually dissolve, after which the base becomes tasteless. Many types of gum can be blown into bubbles as entertainment, which in English-speaking countries gave it another name - bubble gum. In 1928, her ideal formula appeared, which is respected to this day: 20% rubber, 60% sugar or its substitutes, 19% corn syrup and 1% flavoring. When chewing, salivation increases, which contributes to remineralization and cleaning of the teeth, the chewing muscles receive an even, balanced load, and gum massage is performed, which to some extent is the prevention of periodontal disease.
