The disclosure provides products configured for oral use, and methods of making the products. The products include a plurality of granules, the granules including at least one filler; at least one sugar alcohol; a cellulose ether, polyvinylpyrrolidone, or a combination thereof; and at least one active ingredient, at least one flavorant, or a combination thereof. The products may be in a granular form, or in the form of a tablet or pellet.

A composition adapted for oral use is providing, composition adapted for oral use, including one or more fillers present in a total filler content of about 20% by weight or higher, the one or more fillers comprising a first filler in the form of a dissolving grade pulp material or a non-woody microcrystalline cellulose, the first filler having an untapped bulk density of about 150 g/L or less; and at least one additional component such as active ingredients or flavorants. Also provided is a method of forming a composition adapted for oral use, which includes providing a dry dissolving grade pulp material, grinding the dissolving grade pulp material to form a pulp material having an untapped bulk density of about 150 g/L or less, and mixing the pulp material with at least one additional component such as active ingredients or flavorants.

Described is an oral pouched nicotine product having a filling material and a saliva-permeable pouch of a packaging material enclosing the filling material. The filling material includes (a) nicotine containing particles formed from a carrier material, said carrier material includes microcrystalline cellulose, said nicotine containing particles includes a nicotine source, said nicotine containing particles having a sphericity from 0.8 to 1.0 and a diameter from 0.1 mm to 2.0 mm. The oral pouched nicotine product is free from or is substantially free from a constituent having a coating containing a nicotine source and a binder. Also described is a method for preparing the described filling material.

A pouched product including an outer water-permeable pouch defining a cavity and a composition configured for oral use situated within the cavity is provided. The composition is at least partially orally dissolvable, and includes one or more dissolvable fillers in an amount of at least about 45% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition; a humectant in an amount up to about 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition; and at least one active ingredient, at least one flavorant, or both at least one active ingredient and at least one flavorant.

A pouched product adapted for release of a water-soluble component therefrom is provided herein. The pouched product can include an outer water-permeable pouch defining a cavity containing a composition that includes a water-soluble component capable of being released through the water-permeable pouch and has a surface area, wherein the outer water-permeable pouch can include a nonwoven web including a plurality of heat sealable binder fibers blended with a second plurality of dissimilar fibers. The nonwoven web can be carded, hydroentangled and point bonded.

A smokeless article for oral consumption comprising a pouch is described. The pouch encloses a content which comprises nicotine-dosed bamboo fibres. The bamboo fibres have a particle size of 10-500 μm. The smokeless article may be used for the oral delivery of nicotine to a consumer.

The disclosure provides compositions configured for oral use, the compositions including at least one filler, water, a basic amine, and an organic acid, an alkali metal salt of an organic acid, or a combination thereof, wherein the organic acid has a log P value of from about 1.4 to about 8.0. At least a portion of the basic amine is associated with at least a portion of the organic acid or the alkali metal salt thereof. The association is in the form of a basic amine-organic acid salt, an ion pair between the basic amine and a conjugate base of the organic acid, or a combination of both. Further provided are methods for stabilizing a composition configured for oral use, for enhancing a predicted buccal absorption of a composition configured for oral use, and for reducing potential throat irritation associated with the use of compositions including a basic amine.

A process is disclosed for incorporating additives into aerosol-producing substrates. During the process, an additive is incorporated into an infusing liquid. An aerosol-producing filler is submerged in the infusing liquid and the resulting mixture is subjected to reduced pressures that cause the infusing liquid to infuse into the material. The material is dried leaving behind the additive in a controlled amount and uniformly dispersed throughout the material. In one application, cannabidiol is incorporated into a tobacco filler or a hemp filler.
