CHEWING GUMS AND METHODS FOR EXTRACTING CHEMICALS FROM ORAL CAVITIES AND BREATH

A chewing gum has absorbent material, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), for absorbing or adsorbing volatile and non-volatile chemicals from an oral cavity or breath of a user. While the gum is being chewed, chemicals in the breaths and saliva of the user absorb or adsorb into the absorbent materi...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A chewing gum has absorbent material, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), for absorbing or adsorbing volatile and non-volatile chemicals from an oral cavity or breath of a user. While the gum is being chewed, chemicals in the breaths and saliva of the user absorb or adsorb into the absorbent material. The absorbent material is then analyzed to determine the amount of chemicals absorbed or adsorbed into the absorbent material over time. Based on such analysis, various diseases or conditions can be detected or diagnosed. L'invention concerne une gomme à mâcher qui a de la matière absorbante, telle que le polydiméthylsiloxane (PDMS), destinée à absorber ou à adsorber des produits chimiques volatils et non volatils d'une cavité orale ou de l'haleine d'un utilisateur. Lorsque la gomme est mâchée, des produits chimiques dans l'haleine et la salive de l'utilisateur s'absorbent ou s'adsorbent dans la matière absorbante. La matière absorbante est alors analysée pour déterminer la quantité de produits chimiques absorbés ou adsorbés dans la matière absorbante au fil du temps. Sur la base d'une telle analyse, diverses maladies et conditions peuvent être détectées ou diagnostiquées.
