The linear viscoelastic (LVE) property can be probed on pre-shaped gum cuds through a small isothermal strain deformation (i.e., below yield strain) under small amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS). [6] Here the critical yield strain is defined as the modulus deviating about 10% from its initial value. Under it, gum cuds show elastic deformation that follows power-law behavior as a critical gel in the linear regime; otherwise, exhibiting nonlinear responses with increasing shear stress (plasticity). Normally, this yield strain is less than 1%. [6] Modern Bubble Gum is typically produced from synthetic gum based materials, which allows for longer-lasting flavour and a better texture. Some modern Bubble Gum is produced from natural rubber, however natural rubbers have to pass several purity and cleanliness tests before use. Bubble Gum balls are produced by moulding gum into a sphere shape, and then placing these bubble gum balls into a large kettle where they are coated in a flavoured and coloured sucrose solution.

The American sweetgum tree ( Liquidambar styraciflua) has large, star-shaped leaves and dark brown spiky gumballs. As a majestic shade tree, the American sweetgum has a tall, straight trunk with a broadly conical crown. This low-maintenance landscape tree grows between 60 and 80 ft. (18 – 24 m) tall and up to 60 ft. (12 m wide). Bubble gum (or bubblegum) is a type of chewing gum, designed to be inflated out of the mouth as a bubble. Bubble gum flavor [ edit ] A natural bubble gum flavoring can be produced by combining banana, pineapple, cinnamon, cloves, and wintergreen. [3] Vanilla, cherry, lemon, and orange oil have also been suggested as ingredients. [2] Composition [ edit ] Sweetgum tree identification is by its bark, leaves, and fruit. To identify sweet gum trees, look for large star-shaped lobed green leaves that turn spectacular autumn red, yellow, and orange colors. Sweetgum tree bark looks light gray with vertical fissured ridges. Spiky gumballs are another identifying feature of sweetgum trees. In 1996, Susan Montgomery Williams of Fresno, California, set the Guinness World Record for largest bubble gum bubble ever blown, which was 26 inches (66cm) in diameter. However, Chad Fell holds the record for "Largest Hands-free Bubblegum Bubble" at 20 inches (51cm), achieved on 24 April 2004. [11] Tourism [ edit ]Bubble gum got its distinctive pink color because the original recipe Diemer worked on produced a dingy gray colored gum, so he added red dye (diluted to pink), as that was the only dye he had on hand at the time.

There are 15 species of sweetgum trees in the genus Liquidambar and the family Altingiaceae. Sweetgums are ornamental deciduous trees that are native to North America, Asia, and the Mediterranean. Sweetgum trees are relatively fast-growing trees that reach a mature height between 32 and 130 ft. (10 – 40 m).The spiky balls or gumballs on the sweetgum tree help to identify this genus. The sweetgum tree ball looks similar to sycamore tree fruit. For some gardeners, the spiked gumballs can be a nuisance in the fall. The hard, woody balls can roll if you stand on them, causing injury if you fall. Additionally, children can get injured by sharp spikes. Bubblegum Alley is a tourist attraction in downtown San Luis Obispo, California, known for its accumulation of used bubble gum on the walls of an alley.
