An oral product includes a body that is wholly receivable in an oral cavity. The body includes a mouth-stable polymer matrix, cellulosic fibers embedded in the mouth-stable polymer matrix, and a mouth-soluble binder dispersed in the mouth-stable polymer matrix.

A combustible heat source for an aerosol-generating article, the combustible heat source comprising: carbon; an alkaline earth metal peroxide ignition aid; and a binding agent comprising a combination of carboxymethyl cellulose and at least one additional cellulose ether. Preferably, the at least one additional cellulose ether is selected from the group consisting of ethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.

The present invention relates to a method for the production of a sheet of a material containing alkaloids, the method comprising the steps of: ∘providing a slurry including a material containing alkaloids, an aerosol former and water; ∘extruding the slurry; ∘collecting the extruded slurry in a tank having a plurality of outlets; ∘providing more than one substrate sheet including fibres; ∘supplying slurry from the plurality of outlets so as to form a plurality of strips of slurry on the more than one substrate sheet including fibres, to form more than one sheet of material containing alkaloids.

An aerosol-generating material including an amorphous solid, the amorphous solid including 0.1-80 wt % of menthol; 1-60 wt % of a gelling agent, the gelling agent having calcium-crosslinked alginate which includes α-(1-4)-linked L-guluronate (G) units; and 0.1-50 wt % of an aerosol-former material; wherein a molar ratio of Ca.sup.2+ cations to G units is from 0.2:1 to 1:1.

An aerosol-generating component including at least one active that is not nicotine, wherein the aerosol-generating component is formed by an additive manufacturing process from a feedstock material including the at least one active. There is also provided a process for preparing an aerosol-generating component including at least one active that is not nicotine, wherein the at least one active is included in a feedstock material that is used to form the aerosol-generating component by an additive manufacturing process. Also provided is a delivery system including an aerosol-generating component as described herein.

A carrier, apparatus and method for making an aerosol precursor liquid suitable for aerosolized delivery by a device such as an electronic cigarette. A carrier is fluid permeable and comprises a tobacco-derived medium for carrying a functional component, the medium being configured to release the functional component into a fluid to provide an aerosol precursor liquid infused with the functional component. A method for mixing an aerosol precursor liquid for aerosolized delivery of a functional component by an aerosol delivery device comprises bringing the tobacco-derived medium carrying the functional component into contact with fluid and allowing the fluid to saturate the medium to thereby cause the medium to release the functional component into said fluid to form an aerosol precursor liquid infused with the functional component. A receptacle comprising a chamber for the carrier is provided for mixing the aerosol precursor liquid. Example functional components include nicotine and nicotine salts.

A method of forming an oral product includes extruding a mixture, conveying the extruded mixture through one or more pairs of forming rollers, and cutting the extruded mixture into one or more oral products. The mixture can include polymer and at least one flavorant, sweetener, active ingredient, or combination thereof. The extruded mixture forms an extrudate having a predetermined cross-sectional shape. The one or more pairs of forming rollers abut to define a passage there between as each forming roller rotates. The passage has a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the predetermined cross-sectional shape. The method can be performed using a machine including an extruder, one or more pairs of forming rollers, and a cutting device.
