Abstract:
1. Chewing gum comprising at least two different biodegradable polymers, wherein at least two of said biodegradable polymers comprise a polyester polymer, wherein at least one of said at least two different biodegradable polymers comprises an elastomer comprising a polyester produced through reaction of at least one alcohol or derivative thereof and at least one acid or derivative thereof and having a molecular weight of 10,000 to 250,000 g/mol (Mn), wherein at least one of said at least two different biodegradable polymers comprises at least one biodegradable elastomer plasticizer, said biodegradable plasticizer comprising at least one biodegradable polymer, wherein the chewing gum is substantially free of non-biodegradable polymers, wherein said at least one biodegradable polymer produced through reaction of at least one alcohol or derivative thereof and at least one acid or derivative thereof has a polydispersity (PD) of 1.1 to 20, and wherein at least one of said at least two different biodegradable polymers comprises a polyester obtained by polymerization of at least one cyclic ester.
