Fillers

Master gum base without any filler has a very short shelf life and is very sensitive to the acidic nature of typical gum candy flavors. For this reason, most industrial recipes use a filler system such as talcum powder or calcium carbonate to improve stability, processability and cost efficiency.

Choose the filler approach that matches your regulatory market, shelf-life target and flavor system — or start from a no-filler master for specialized development.
