Gum Base Co. was the first manufacturer to launch the concept of Compressed Powder Gum (CPG) on an industrial scale.
In addition to being pleasant, chewing gum can also be useful, because it is an excellent vehicle for releasing functional ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, antioxidants, caffeine, etc. As well as being used simply for pleasure, CPG type chewing gum is increasingly being used as a drug delivery system by the food and  nutraceutical industries.
