The disclosure provides compositions and products configured for oral use, the compositions and products including a filler material, an active ingredient, and a salt component. The salt component may be present in an amount of between about 3.0% and about 4.5% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. The compositions and products as described herein may particularly exhibit a desired flavor profile.

The disclosure provides a foam composition including a cellulosic foam stabilizer, a sweetener, optionally a natural gum, water, and a flavoring agent or an active ingredient or both a flavoring agent and an active ingredient. The disclosure also provides a method of forming a foam composition, including mixing an aqueous slurry of a cellulosic foam stabilizer with a sweetener, an optional natural gum, an optional alkali metal salt, and a flavoring agent or an active ingredient or both a flavoring agent and an active ingredient to form a mixture; introducing air into the mixture through stirring or bubbling to form a foam; dividing the foam into a plurality of discrete portions; and optionally drying the discrete portions of foam.

Methods of fermenting a tobacco material and methods of modifying the total bacterial content of a tobacco material are provided herein. One example method includes treating a tobacco material with superheated steam in a pressurized vessel to provide a steam-treated tobacco material having a reduced total bacteria content and fermenting the steam-treated tobacco material in the presence of one or more microorganisms to provide a fermented tobacco material. In some embodiments, the methods provided herein can provide a fermented tobacco material having a tobacco-specific nitrosamine content that is reduced relative to a fermented tobacco material that has not been subjected to the disclosed method steps and/or a modified flavor or aroma profile relative to a fermented tobacco material that has not been subjected to the disclosed method steps.
