Zusammenfassung:	An improved process for continuously producing chewing gum products. A continuous extrusion machine is utilized preferably with a rotating twin-scr ew mixing mechanism (10). The sugar ingredient of the chewing gum product is divided into two portions to improve texture of the final product. One porti on (34) is added at the initial upstream end of the extrusion process, while th e other portion (52) is added after most of the other ingredients have been included in the gum mass. The flavoring ingredients can also be divided into two portions, one portion (46) introduced into the extrusion process upstrea m of the sugar material and the other portion (54) introduced downstream of th e other ingredients. Splitting the sugar and flavoring ingredients affects the texture and flavor release profiles of the final gum product (16).
