An oral composition containing nicotine, the bulk density of the oral composition being 0.4 g/cm.sup.3 or greater.

An oral composition comprising: an inorganic porous material having an average particle size of 60 m or more, as a base material; and nicotine, wherein, in the inorganic porous material, the pore volume of pores having a pore size not less than 2 nm but less than 50 nm, as measured by a nitrogen adsorption method and calculated by the BJH method, is 0.50 cm.sup.3/g or more.

An oral composition containing an inorganic porous material as a base material, and additionally containing nicotine, the inorganic porous material content being 6 wt % or greater.

This document provides methods and systems for stabilizing nicotine and incorporating nicotine into one or more oral products. This document also provides oral products. Nicotine can be stabilized by mixing liquid nicotine with cellulosic fiber such that the liquid nicotine absorbs into pores of the cellulosic fiber to form a cellulosic fiber-nicotine mixture. In some cases, a cellulosic fiber-nicotine mixture can be combined with one or more binders and molded into an oral product.

Provided is a nicotine pouch filler including nicotine, a release control excipient including at least one or more selected from a group consisting of cellulose and sugar alcohol, a binder, a pH adjuster, and a flavoring agent, in which the release control excipient includes cellulose and sugar alcohol, the cellulose and the sugar alcohol are mixed at a weight ratio of 1:9 to 5:5, the cellulose includes one or more of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and methyl cellulose, and the sugar alcohol includes at least one or more selected from a group consisting of erythritol, xylitol, mannitol, sorbitol, maltitol, and isomaltol.

Provided is a nicotine pouch filler including nicotine, a release control excipient, a binder, a pH adjuster, a solvent, and a flavoring agent, wherein the solvent includes one or more of water and ethanol, and the water and the ethanol are mixed at a weight ratio of 4:6 to 0:10.

A smoking article (10) incorporates a liquid release component (20), the liquid release component comprising an inner core of a sustained release liquid delivery material and a frangible outer shell encapsulating the inner core. The liquid delivery material comprises a closed matrix structure comprising a cross-linked polymer matrix defining a plurality of domains; and a liquid composition that is trapped within the domains and is releasable from the closed matrix structure upon compression of the material. The frangible outer coating comprises at least one film-forming polymer and at least one plasticiser.

Herbage such as trimmed cannabis flowers have a reflective coating that sparkles and improves shelf life. The invention includes a first coating of a first cannabis plant extract including at least 60%-98% Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that forms a hardened layer on the dried herbage to mechanically preserve the shape of the herbage and enables handling and grinding of the herbage. A second coating of a second cannabis plant extract, including at least 90-99% Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa) forms crystals, or diamonds, that are embedded in the first coating to improve aesthetics by reflecting light. The crystals improve shelf life by reducing absorption of light by the herbage. The weight sum of the combined coatings are in a particular ratio to the herbage. This ratio is between 1:4 and 2:1 on a weight to weight basis to cause the herbage to sparkle, to improve shelf life, and to enable grinding without sticking.

Described is an oral pouched nicotine product comprising a filling material and a saliva-permeable pouch of a packaging material enclosing the filling material, wherein the filling material includes: tobacco-free nicotine-containing particles formed from a carrier material, said carrier material comprising microcrystalline cellulose, said tobacco-free nicotine-containing particles comprising a nicotine source, said tobacco-free nicotine-containing particles having a sphericity from 0.8 to 1.0, and a diameter from 0.1 mm to 2.0 mm, with the proviso that said oral pouched nicotine product is free from or substantially free from a constituent comprising a coating comprising a nicotine source and a binder, wherein the oral pouched nicotine product is free from tobacco material, wherein the filling material further comprises a pH adjusting agent, and wherein the pH adjusting agent is included in the tobacco-free nicotine-containing particles.

Provided is a nicotine granule having a core-shell structure, in which the core includes a capsule including a base solution, and the shell includes a nicotine raw material.
