Chewing gum can be seen as environment pollutant,when left over gum becomes sticky residue,which adher to various surfaces in public places.Most of the chewing gum formulations include gumbase, plastisizer, softners, sweetners, flavouring agent, bulking agent. Gum base is the most important entity of chewing gum formulation ,mostly syenthetic gum base are used as gum base, which is responsible for stickiness and chewy texture of gum. In current study texture characteristic of corn gum like guminess, juciness, stickiness, springiness, cohesiveness are determined with help of texture analyser.Corn zein as a gum base offer nonadhesive and biodegradable property.Out of the corn zein gum the use of triacetin as plastisizer shows maximum values for hardness and other texture parameters.The study shows corn zein is best suited to be used as biodegadable gum base which can be developed as acceptable product for consumers.
