Zein is a natural product,both edible and biodegradable.Zein has been developed into elastomeric compound which are usefull as structural material for fabrication of edible film.Physical and rheological property of zein suggest its application as chewing gum base.Syenthetic chewing gum base has property to stick to surfaces,because of its adhesive texture,and gum long lasting nature it is very difficult to clean off surfaces.The high cost associated with chewing gum waste management add up millions of dollar worldwide.Many researchers have investigated possibility of developing gum products that are biodegradable or less sticky in an attempt to remove these problem.In current study model corn zein gum is developed and effect of formulation components on textural properties was investigated.
