A gum base, as well as methods for making same, is provided which is free of wax, but has an increased glass transition temperature. It has been found by removing or reducing gum base vinyl polymer softeners that the glass transition temperature of the gum base can be raised to a temperature wherein even at elevated ambient temperatures, blocking (agglomeration) does not occur.

A chewing gum base is provided which is free of wax as well as a method of producing same. In an embodiment, a wax-free gum base is provided having flavor release characteristics at least as good as similar bases including wax comprising an elastomer, polyvinyl acetate, an elastomer plasticizer, and a sufficient amount of oil chosen from the group consisting of: cottonseed; soybean; canola; safflower; sunflower; palm; and coconut oil to achieve flavor release characteristics that are at least as good as a similar gum base including wax.

Aspartame in chewing gum is stabilized by acidifying the humectant which is then added to the chewing gum. Enough food acid is added to the humectant to cause the pH of the humectant to remain between about 3. 0-5. 0, in order to create the most stable environment for the aspartame. Because the acidified humectant is dispersed substantially uniformly throughout the chewing gum, aspartame located anywhere in the gum is stabilized.
