For that matter ,then the easiest resource material you can read is from.the Patent files of many countries, ex USPTO, European patent office etc.
FYI during my confectionery training I did experience chewing gum processing but it’s not my interest.as it’s a messy and tacky undertaking with limited input for creativity plus it’s the least attractive among confectionery materials to undertake.
BTW.I remember there were some foreign companies in the past that added functional ingredients to the chewing gum base. So your idea will work.

(acid or non acid base)
Icing sugar. 57%
Flavour 0.6-1%
