A method and an apparatus for making a multilayer confectionery product provided. The method and apparatus include at least two sets of forming drums that form and laminate confectionery sheets.

The invention relates to a chewing gum composition comprising, calculated as dry weight, 30-60 wt. % maltitol, 5 30 wt. % mannitol, 5-25 wt. % polyvinylacetate, 1-15 wt. % vinyl acetate-vinyl laurate copolymer, 0.5-5 wt. % gelling agent, 1-7 wt. % of at least one emulsifier. 0.1 ) wt. % trisectine and 1-10 wt. % fat, and with respect to the total weight of the chewing gum composition 4-15 wt. % water. The invention also relates to a print method in which said chewing gum composition is heated in cartridge in a heated print head and thus a three-dimensional object is printed in layers.

This document provides methods and systems for stabilizing nicotine and incorporating nicotine into one or more oral products. This document also provides oral products. Nicotine can be stabilized by mixing nicotine with a silicon oxide-containing porous solid such that the nicotine absorbs into pores of the porous solid to form a porous solid-nicotine mixture. In some cases, a porous solid-nicotine mixture can be combined with one or more binders and molded into an oral product.

Gum manufacturing methods and systems are provided including a set of rollers for compressive forming and sizing of a chewing gum. Heat transfer systems and methods for altering a temperature of chewing gum are also provided.

A method and device for producing individual strip-shaped objects. The method and device supply substantially rectangular sheets from which strip-shaped objects are to be formed. In forming the individual strips, the method and device separate an individual strip from the sheet along a front most groove, which forms a predetermined spacing between the individual consecutive separated strips for a subsequent onward conveying of the formed strips. Next, the method and device detect an actual position of each individually separated strip during the separation of the strips from the sheet, and corrects the position of the individual separated strips if the detected actual position of the strip does not correspond to a position which matches the predetermined spacing between the individual consecutive strips.
