Calcium Carbonate → Sorbitol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stabilized, substantially non-volatile mixture of 15 grams of a medium chain triglyceride and 22.5 grams of menthol crystals was formed. To this mixture was added 0.45 grams of F, D and C Blue No. 1 H.T. Lake. A second mixture comprising 22.5 grams of polyethylene glycol (8,000 carbowax) with 12 grams of hydrogenated cottonseed oil was heated separately. An additional mixture of 129.6 grams of corn sugar solids (maltodextrose M-365), 45 grams of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, 1.5 grams of lecithin, 15 grams of calcium carbonate, 0.4 grams of capsicum, 30 grams of xylitol and 6 grams of sorbitol was formed. The separate mixtures were then combined and placed in a spinning machine having a 7" cable heater head with a 0.030" gap between heating cables. The mixture was then flash flowed to produce a delivery system containing menthol flavor crystals.
