Could it not be done off a powdered gelatine?The concept is similar to sherbert - unless I'm reading this wrong.
It needs to be activated by saliva rather than heat. I don't pretend to know the properties of gelatine but surely that's the key compound.

If memory serves, gelatine is a biopolymer.The dry biopolymers I've come across (guar gum, xanthan gum, cellulose gum) tend to clump together when directly added to water; if the same happens with gelatine it would wind up very sticky and unpleasant.
