The aim of this randomized crossover trial was to clarify the effects of chewing gummy jelly containing a compound of decanoic acid, oligonol, methyl cellulose, and citral (DOMAC) on mental stress and autonomic nervous activity in facemask wearers. A placebo gummy jelly was used in conjunction with DOMAC. Eight healthy adults with no tooth loss (mean age: 35±5 yr) were included. The participants were required to chew one DOMAC or placebo gummy jelly for 5 min after wearing a facemask for 20 min in the laboratory, then the other gummy jelly after a washout period. Rate of change in salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) as a marker of stress was compared between before and after chewing. Additionally, sympathetic and parasympathetic activity was compared at both time points. A significant difference was observed in the percentage change in salivary IgA from that at before wearing a facemask: 127±34% (mean±standard deviation) while wearing a facemask; 46±20% while chewing DOMAC gummies; and 47±26% while chewing placebo gummies (p<0.05). Parasympathetic nervous system activity was 971.2±1040.7 ms at 20 min after facemask wearing; 295.0±253.0 ms after DOMAC gummy chewing; and 1956.1±2798.0 ms after chewing a placebo gummy jelly; with significant differences only being found between 20 min after facemask wearing and after DOMAC gummy chewing (p<0.05). Sympathetic nervous system activity was 1.80±1.83 at 20 min after facemask wearing; 4.06±3.33 after DOMAC gummy chewing; and 4.95±7.02 after chewing a placebo gummy jelly; with significant differences only being found between 20 min after facemask wearing and after DOMAC gummy chewing. These results suggest that chewing gummy jellies containing DOMAC relieves stress caused by facemask wearing and activates sympathetic nervous system activity.
