Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject composition capable of sustaining sweetness of good quality for a long period by formulating a menthol glycoside with menthone in a specific proportion and including a specific amount of the menthol glycoside therein. SOLUTION: This chewing gum composition is obtained by formulating one or more menthol glycosides represented by the formula (R is a group selected from residues of monosaccharides and oligosaccharides) with menthone at (500:1) to (2:1) ratio expressed in terms of weight ratio and including the menthol glycosides in an amount of 0.4-5.0 wt.% based on the whole composition therein. One or more such as menthone isolated from a natural product or an essential oil or that synthesized by an organic synthetic method can be used as the menthone. Residues of the monosaccharides, e.g. glucose, galsctose or mannose and disaccharides, e.g. maltose or lactose are cited as the saccharide residues constituting the menthol glycosides.
