Gum base is made of food-grade polymers, plasticizers, softeners, texturizers and emulsifiers, and other ingredients, which impart their unique properties chew or bubble to chewing gum and bubble gum. It is the ingredient that distinguishes chewing and bubble gum from all other confectionery products. It is an insoluble and non-nutritive substance that enables a chewing gum to be chewed for hours without experiencing substantial changes.

The main function of gum base in chewing and bubble gum are different
The main function of bubble gum base formulations is blowing, includes advanced synthetic rubber or high molecular polymer.
The main function of the chewing gum base is chewed, so the chewing taste is the most important thing, which is different from a bubble gum base.
So the formula of the chewing gum base and bubble gum are different.

Chewing gum and bubble gum base having different gum base compositions
Bubble gum generally contain 15-20% of the gum base
Chewing gum contains 20-25%
Sugar-free chewing gum is generally 25-30% of the gum base.
