An oral pouched product is disclosed, the oral pouched product includes a saliva permeable pouch, a pouch composition, the pouch composition includes heat-treated fibers, nicotine, water in an amount of less than 65% by weight of the pouch composition, and at least one sugar alcohol. Also, a method for manufacturing an oral pouched product is disclosed.

The disclosure provides products configured for oral use, the products including one or more active ingredients and a beet material, at least a portion of the one or more active ingredients being bound to the beet material. In some embodiments, oral products as described herein may include a beet material, a filler material, and one or more active ingredients, at least a portion of the one or more active ingredients being bound to the beet material and the filler material. Active ingredients included in the product may be configured for release according to different release rates, which rates may depend at least in part on the material to which the active ingredient is bound.

An apparatus arranged to form a continuous tobacco rod of a smoking article, comprises a conveyor conveying a tobacco material stream in a conveyance direction, and a wrapping material supply arrangement advancing a web of wrapping material in the conveyance direction adjacent to the tobacco material stream. A constriction member receives the tobacco material stream at an inlet end and reduces a cross-sectional area of the tobacco material stream. The reduced-area tobacco material stream exits the constriction member at an exit end, and the wrapping material web wraps about the reduced-area tobacco material stream exiting the exit end. An additive source supplies an additive material to the reduced-area tobacco material stream through a dispensing port disposed about the exit end of the constriction member, prior to the reduced-area tobacco material stream being wrapped by the wrapping material web to form the continuous tobacco rod.

The disclosure provides compositions for oral use and products formed therewith. The compositions can include a carrier component and an active ingredient that are combined so that the active ingredient may be released from the composition in the oral cavity of a consumer in a controlled manner. The carrier component may particularly include a pectin, a gum, and/or an alginate, and preferably may include a low methoxyl pectin.

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.

A wrapping material for an aerosol producing product is disclosed that contains extracted tobacco material combined with strength building fibers. The strength building fibers are refined and optionally bleached bast fibers. In one aspect, the bast fibers can be hemp fibers. The wrapping material can contain the extracted tobacco material in amounts greater than 40% by weight.

The present disclosure provides a substrate in beaded form which includes at least one non-tobacco botanical material, or a flavorant, a botanical extract, or both; a binder; an aerosol forming material; optionally, water and a tobacco material; and optionally a filler. The final form of the substrate can be configured for use in aerosol generating components for aerosol delivery devices. Further provided are aerosol generating components and aerosol delivery devices including the substrate in beaded form. Such devices utilize electrically generated heat or combustible ignition sources to heat the substrate, providing an inhalable substance in the form of an aerosol.

A process for preparing coated particles of a plant material includes: (a) combining plant material particles and a protein in a liquid medium, wherein the protein adsorbs onto at least a portion of a surface of the particles to form a first layer; and (b) mixing a polysaccharide including a pectin with the liquid medium, so that the polysaccharide adsorbs onto at least a portion of a surface of the first layer to form a second layer. In addition, a palatable product comprising at least one coated particle prepared by this process is described.

An oral pouched product is disclosed, the oral pouched product includes a saliva permeable pouch, a pouch composition, the pouch composition includes heat-treated fibers, nicotine, water in an amount of less than 65% by weight of the pouch composition, and at least one sugar alcohol. Also, a method for manufacturing an oral pouched product is disclosed.

The present disclosure provides various components entrapped within a cross-linked alginate matrix and products including such component-containing, alginate-based matrices. The disclosure also includes a method for entrapping the components, including mixing the component or components with alginate in water, contacting the mixture with a cation to cross-link the alginate, and removing at least a portion of the water therefrom. The resulting component-containing alginate-based material can then be incorporated within various products, e.g., consumable products such as aerosol-generating devices and components, oral products, and conventional smoking articles.
