Does the time gum is chewed affect flavor?

The flavor and texture of gum varies based on a number of factors such as the brand, chewing gum's main ingredients, additives and preservatives in the mix, as well as any flavorings incorporated after processing. Chewing gum for an extended period of time causes the breakdown of flavoring particles within the gum causing the taste and texture to diminish or become dull as a result.

In relation to whether the length of time an individual chomps, bites and nibbles at their gum causes it to lose its flavor over time is actually untrue.
