Formula Optimization of Chewing Gum from Medicinal Herbal Extract

La-Ong Saleepoung, Chutikan Sakphisutthikul

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a chewing gum from a medicinal herbal extract by studying the product’s physical and sensory evaluation properties. The study found that formula 3 gave good chewing gum characteristics, i.e., low hardness, not sticky, easy to chew, and high gumminess. Because of the lower hardness, gumminess, and chewiness than the other formulas and the highest springiness, the chewing jelly is sticky. Moreover, melt together at room temperature. Evaluation of sensory attributes by acceptance and overall liking of the chewing jelly found that formulas 2 and 3 had the highest liking scores for all attributes with no statistical difference (p > 0.05). The optimal formula for chewing gummies from medicinal herbal extract is formula 2, consisting of 7.25% gelatin, 32.63% maltodextrin, 32.63% glucose syrup, 1.75% citric acid, and 25.75% herbal extract.

 

Keywords: formula optimization, chewing gum, medicinal herbal extract.
