The embodiments disclose a method for processing plant-based material for smoking products including maintaining the plant-based material submerged within a liquid medium in a container while the liquid medium is being boiled, removing the boiled plant-based material from the container, and drying the boiled plant-based material, the drying comprising directing negative air ions towards and through the boiled plant-based material to at least partially neutralize odor and/or taste, a plant-based material product produced by the method is also provided as a smoking product including the plant-based material product or the plant-based material product combined with a treatment material such as CBD, CBG, a flavoring agent and combinations thereof, also provided is a plant-based material product comprising boiled plant-based material dried while being exposed to negative air ions, and a smoking product such as a cigarette incorporating the plant-based material product or the plant-based material product combined with a treatment material.

An oral product includes a body that is wholly receivable in an oral cavity. The body includes a polymer matrix and one or more flavorants and/or active ingredients embedded in the polymer matrix. The polymer matrix can include a copolymer of ethylene and one or more vinyl monomers or zein. For example, the polymer can be ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and/or ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer. In some cases, the oral product can include tobacco and/or nicotine.

An oral pouched product is disclosed, the pouched product comprising a saliva permeable pouch and a pouch composition, the pouch composition comprising a powdered composition, water, and a liquid flavor composition, wherein the liquid flavor composition is added to the powdered composition after the water. A further oral pouched product and a method of manufacturing an oral pouched product is disclosed.

An atomizing liquid gel with reversible phase transition characteristics includes: a sugar-based gelling agent, 0.1-3.0 wt %; an atomizing agent, 97.0-99.9 wt %; a molecule of the sugar-based gelling agent is a sugar molecule introduced with an amide group and/or an aryl group, and the sugar molecule optionally further includes at least one hydrophobic structural part selected from —C.sub.xH.sub.y, —O—C.sub.xB.sub.y and

and x>2 and y>2. The atomizing liquid gel has characteristics of thermal reversible phase transition and/or shear reversible phase transition, a temperature of gel-sol phase transition is 100° C.-248° C., and a critical shear stress of the gel-sol phase transition is 40-800 Pa. Under heating and/or oscillation, the atomizing liquid gel converts from the gel state to a sol state, when the heating and/or oscillation are stopped, the atomizing liquid gel is quickly recovered from the sol state to the gel state.

An aerosol-generating article is provided, including an aerosol-generating substrate including homogenised plant material formed of particulate plant material, the particulate plant material including between 10 percent and 40 percent by weight clove particles and between 60 percent and 90 percent by weight tobacco particles, based on dry weight of the particulate plant material, and the homogenised plant material further including an aerosol former and a binder. An aerosol-generating system is also provided, including an aerosol-generating device including a heating element; and the aerosol-generating article. A method is also provided for making one or more sheets of the homogenised plant material of aerosol-generating substrate of the aerosol-generating article.

A nicotine pouch composition is disclosed, the pouch composition comprising free-base nicotine and having a water content of at least 15% by weight of said pouch composition. Furthermore, an oral nicotine pouch product comprising the pouch composition and a method for manufacturing the oral nicotine pouch product is disclosed.

A method of isolating compounds from a tobacco-derived black liquor, including receiving a black liquor from a pulping process of an input material comprising a plant of the Nicotiana species, treating the black liquor with an acid to lower the pH of the black liquor to about 7 or lower in order to produce a precipitate and an acidified black liquor, separating the precipitate and the acidified black liquor, extracting the acidified black liquor with an organic solvent in order to produce an organic layer extract and an aqueous layer extract, and separating the organic layer extract and the aqueous layer extract.

The present invention is directed to a pouched smokeless oral product comprising a pouch containing the filling, said filling comprising or consisting of at least one of tobacco, non-tobacco plant material and a combination thereof; and one or more flavour capsules, wherein said flavour capsule is composed of a core material comprising NaCl as a carrier and at least one flavour component being in contact with the carrier; and a shell material coating the core, wherein said shell material comprises or consists of a hydrophobic polysaccharide.

A nicotine pouch composition is disclosed, the pouch composition includes at least one sugar alcohol, at least one water-insoluble fiber, water in an amount of 8-65% by weight of the composition, and nicotine. Also, an oral pouched nicotine product and a method for manufacturing an oral pouched product is disclosed.

The present disclosure provides an aerosol source member and an aerosol delivery device that includes an aerosol source member. The aerosol source member includes a segmented substrate portion that includes a first substrate segment and a second substrate segment. The first substrate segment includes a first aerosol former, the second substrate segment includes a second aerosol former different from the first aerosol former, and the second substrate segment is positioned between the first substrate segment and a downstream end of the aerosol source member. The first substrate segment and the second substrate segment are configured such that when heated by a heat source, the first substrate segment is heated to a first temperature and the second substrate segment is heated to a second temperature that is less than the first temperature.
