The disclosure provides a composition including nanocellulose and at least one active ingredient. Further provided is a fleece material including a nonwoven fabric and nanocellulose. The nanocellulose may be cellulose nanofibrils, nanocrystalline cellulose, or bacterial cellulose.

The disclosure provides for oral compositions that exhibit desired properties associated with moist products while incorporating a relatively low water content. Such compositions may include at least one releasable material, at least one filler/carrier component, and at least one water substitute, such as a polyol. The water substituted may be present in an amount of about 25% by weight or greater based on the total weight of the oral composition, and the compositions and products formed therewith can exhibit a relatively low water activity, such as in the range of about 0.85 or less. The present disclosure further provides methods of forming an oral composition with a mouthfeel corresponding to a moist product while having a relatively low water activity.

The disclosure provides products configured for oral use, the products including compositions comprising a porous alumina component and a releasable material that is retained in pores of the porous alumina. The releasable material retained in the pores of the porous alumina may be configured for controlled release therefrom.

The disclosure provides oral compositions and products comprising an active agent, a carrier/filler, and a buffer. Preferably, the composition can be configured such that, when in contact with a user's saliva, the composition, is at a pH of about 6.5 to about 8. Buffers particularly may include amino acids, such as glycine, or salts thereof, as well as various phosphates.

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 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.

The disclosure provides products configured for oral use, the products including compositions comprising a filler component including negatively charged groups and an active ingredient including positively charged groups. The active ingredient can be retained by the filler component at least in part through bonding between the negatively charged groups and the positively charged groups such that active ingredient may be release from the product when positioned within an oral cavity of a consumer.

The disclosure provides oral compositions and products formed therewith. Such compositions and products may include a first content of a flavor component having a first release rate and a second content of a flavor component having a second, different release rate. The disclosure further provides methods of preparing compositions and products for oral use. Such methods may include spray-drying a liquid flavor component to form particles of the liquid flavor component and mixing the particles of the liquid flavor component with a long-chain carbohydrate. Such methods also may include combining a content of a first flavor component, a content of a second flavor component, and a filler to form a composition suitable for insertion into an oral cavity. The compositions may be formed such that the first flavor component has a first release profile, and the second flavor component has a second, different release profile.

Compositions configured for oral use, the compositions including at least one active ingredient selected from caffeine, taurine, GABA, theanine, tryptophan, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, lemon balm extract, ginseng, citicoline, sunflower lecithin, or combinations thereof, are provided. The compositions include one or more fillers, including a sugar alcohol, and optionally, a lipid or binder. The compositions may be in chewable, tablet, or meltable forms.
