Our chewing gum products are designed with hundreds of trials and deep consideration in order to satisfy the consumer preferences for flavor, texture, long-lasting, funciton, pleasure, etc. and offer the best quality.

Xylitol had the advantege of not being the cause of tooth decay but we were faced with a problem that it had an harsh taste and undesirable effect on the key benefit, a refreshing feeling, of chewing gum. To overcome the issue, we conducted countless trials with mixing other sugar alcohols and sweeteners, and improving flavor & others also.
