What is the story of chewing gum?

in #brother7 years ago

John B. Curtis invented gum in 1848, and the invention of chewing gum was traditionally made from gum, natural latex, or synthetic rubber known as polysopotylene. Polysopotylene is a non-refractory form of butyl rubber (isoprene-isobutylene) and is used as an internal liner for tires , Chewing gum comes in many different shapes and sizes.

The invention of chewing gum comes in a wide range of flavors such as cinnamon, peppermint and various fruit flavors. Most gum is manufactured in a similar manner regardless of the brand. The gum base is melted at about 115 ° C (239 ° F) until it has a viscosity The maple syrup is thick, and then filtered through a fine mesh screen.


 


The invention of the gum is refined by separating the dissolved particles into the centrifuge with further filtration, and the hot and clear dissolved base is poured into the mixing containers. The added ingredients may include sugar powder (which may vary in volume to provide fragility), corn syrup and glucose It acts as a nutrient and sugar particles covered to maintain flexible gum), various chips, food colors, flavors, preservatives and so on.

The mixture is then poured into the cooling belts and cooled with cold air. The mixture is then mixed or mixed. The chewing gum pieces are then set aside for a period of 24-48 hours. The coated gum is subjected to other processes. The outer layers are immersed in sugar Liquid, and then the pellets are coated with the appropriate glazing factor, usually the wax, glaze coating is sometimes derived from animal-based sources such as resin glaze derived from beeswax.

Ancient Greek chewing gum, called mastic, was the gum made from resin from the mastic tree, a gum tree, and the invention of chewing gum by ancient Mayan people , And the invention of chewing gum in North American Indians made from fir trees. The invention of chewing gum was inspired by North American Indians John B. Curtis, who developed gum and sold the first commercial gum in 1848, and Curtis created a company called Curtis and his son.

In 1871 Thomas Adams and the American inventor patented a gum making machine. Thomas Adams was the founder of the chewing gum industry. In 1880 John Kulgan, a Kentucky doctor, made chewing gum more sweet by adding sugar to ingredients. Better longer while chewing gum.


 


By 1888, Tomas Adams, called Totti Frutti, became the first gum to be sold in a vending machine. These machines are located in New York City's subway station.

It's said that in Scandinavia too, people in the viking age used to chew resin from pine trees as well, although I can't be sure that it's not a myth. I'll let you know if I ever put it to the test.
