简介 |
The invention relates to soluble coated chewable tablets containing rubber. The inventive tablets contain chewing constituents, syrup constituents, fat or wax constituents, and optionally, fillers. Said tablets are obtained by mixing the chewing constituents with the melted fat or wax constituents. At least one syrup constituent is added to the mixture which then becomes a crumbly material. Said material is subsequently cooled to below 0 DEG C, ground to a particle size of 5 mm at the most, and after it has been cooled to below 10 DEG C, is compressed into tablets. The tablets are then coated according to a known method. Due to the compression of the cooled granulate particles, the finished product should have a partially granular structure in which the moisture has been temporarily immobilised by the low temperature. After compression, this moisture is re-mobilised by heating (especially during the coating process) and migrates or diffuses into the water-soluble ingredients present, superficially at first. Said ingredients are partially dissolved and produce a highly viscous, thixotropic, chewable material. |
