A shisha, heat-not-burn, or combustion product casing with or without an active ingredient, a shisha, heat-not-burn, or a combustion product including a casing or a method of making the same are disclose herein.

A method of enrobing a product portion in polymer strands includes mounting at least one product portion on a holding device and passing the at least one product portion through a polymer enrobing zone. The polymer enrobing zone can include a flow of polymeric fibers produced by a polymer spray head. The polymer fibers can wraparound the at least one product portion to produce an enrobed product portion. The holding device can hold the at least one product portion by passing at least partially through the body of the product portion. At least a portion of the holding device is removed from the enrobed product portion. In some cases, the at least one product portion includes smokeless tobacco.

The invention relates to a process for producing food ingredients from Stevia rebaudiana plant and their use in food products, beverages and other consumables. Obtained compositions are useful as flavors, sweeteners, antioxidants, and other functional ingredients.

An exemplary smoking article including a smoking rod filled with a combination including tobacco filler material and cellulose filler material. The tobacco filler material and cellulose filler material can be arranged such that the constituent material particles are generally distributed throughout the smoking rod, the tobacco filler material at least partially surrounds the cellulose filler material along a length of the smoking rod, and/or the cellulose filler material particles have a higher concentration along a central axis of the smoking rod than the tobacco filler material particles.

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 compositions containing 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 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.
