AEROSOL-GENERATING MATERIAL COMPRISING AN AMORPHOUS SOLID WITH CARRAGEENAN
A substrate is provided comprising an aerosol-generating material, the aerosol-generating material comprising a thermoreversible amorphous solid, the thermoreversible amorphous solid comprising: 0.5-20 wt % of iota- and/or kappa-carrageenan; 20-80 wt % of an aerosol-former material; 20-70 wt % of a flavorant and/or an active substance; wherein these weights are calculated on a dry weight basis. Consumables and non-combustible aerosol provision systems comprising the substrate, as well as methods of making and using these, are also provided.
AEROSOL-GENERATING COMPRISING AN AMORPHOUS SOLID WITH ALGINATE AND PECTIN AS GELLING AGENTS
An aerosol-generating material including an amorphous solid, wherein the amorphous solid includes: 1-60 wt % of a gelling agent; 5-80 wt % of an aerosol-former material; and 10-60 wt % of an active substance; wherein these weights are calculated on a dry weight basis, and wherein the gelling agent includes alginate and pectin, wherein a ratio of the alginate to the pectin is from 1:1 to 10:1.
METHOD FOR EXTRACTING TAR AROMA COMPONENTS FROM WITHIN CIGARETTE BUTTS AND APPLICATION THEREOF IN CIGARETTES
The present disclosure provides a method for extracting tar aroma components from a cigarette butt and use of the tar aroma components in a cigarette. The method includes the following steps: (1) adding the cigarette butt to an extraction solvent, and carrying out ultrasound-assisted extraction to obtain an extraction solution; (2) centrifuging the extraction solution, and carrying out vacuum distillation on the supernatant to obtain a concentrated extractum; and (3) carrying out molecular distillation on the concentrated extractum, and collecting a light fraction of the molecular distillation to obtain the tar aroma components. In the present disclosure, the cigarette butt is used as a raw material, through the ultrasound-assisted extraction and separation by the molecular distillation to extract the tar, harmful substances in the tar are removed, and the aroma components are retained. The tar aroma components are applied to a heat-not-burn cigarette, so that the aroma, smoke and taste characteristics of the heat-not-burn cigarette are improved, and the problems of insipidness and uneven aroma release of the heat-not-burn cigarette are solved effectively.
Nicotine liquid formulations for aerosol devices and methods thereof
A nicotine liquid formulation comprising nicotine, an acid, and a biologically acceptable liquid carrier, wherein heating an amount of said nicotine liquid formulation using low temperature electronic vaporization device, i.e. an electronic cigarette, generates an inhalable aerosol, and wherein at least about 50% of said acid in said amount is in said aerosol, and wherein at least about 90% of said nicotine in said amount is in said aerosol.
Process For Incorporating Additives Into Aerosol-Producing Substrates and Products Made Therefrom
A process is disclosed for incorporating additives into aerosol-producing substrates. During the process, an additive is incorporated into an infusing liquid. An aerosol-producing filler is submerged in the infusing liquid and the resulting mixture is subjected to reduced pressures that cause the infusing liquid to infuse into the material. The material is dried leaving behind the additive in a controlled amount and uniformly dispersed throughout the material. In one application, cannabidiol is incorporated into a tobacco filler or a hemp filler.
ORAL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE
An oral product configured for oral use is provided herein, the oral product including: at least one sugar substitute in an amount from about 25% to about 45% by weight, based on the total weight of the oral product; a gum in an amount from about 35% to about 55% by weight, based on the total weight of the oral product; a basic amine; and an organic acid, an alkali metal salt of an organic acid, or a combination thereof; wherein the organic acid has a log P value of from about 1.0 to about 12.0; wherein at least a portion of the basic amine is associated with at least a portion of the organic acid or the alkali metal salt thereof, the association in the form of a basic amine-organic acid salt, an ion pair between the basic amine and a conjugate base of the organic acid, or both; and wherein the oral product is in the form of a pastille.
NICOTINE LIQUID FORMULATIONS FOR AEROSOL DEVICES AND METHODS THEREOF
A nicotine liquid formulation comprising nicotine, an acid, and a biologically acceptable liquid carrier, wherein heating an amount of said nicotine liquid formulation using low temperature electronic vaporization device, i.e., an electronic cigarette, generates an inhalable aerosol, and wherein at least about 50% of said acid in said amount is in said aerosol, and wherein at least about 90% of said nicotine in said amount is in said aerosol.
METHOD OF COATING TIPPING PAPER FOR SMOKING ARTICLE AND SMOKING ARTICLE MANUFACTURED ACCORDING THERETO
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a smoking article including a smoking material portion which is wrapped with a smoking material wrapper, a filter portion which has an upstream end combined with the smoking material portion and is wrapped with a filter wrapper, and a tipping paper which wraps around the filter portion and at least a portion of the smoking material portion so that the smoking material portion and the filter portion are combined, wherein a design printing layer, an overprint (OP) coating layer, and a sweetener coating layer are disposed on a surface of the tipping paper.
PRODUCTS WITH ENHANCED SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS
Oral products containing a sensory agent are provided herein, wherein the sensory agent impacts the capsaicin receptors within a consumer's oral cavity, providing a spicy/hot sensation. Some such products are pouched products including an outer water-permeable pouch defining a cavity containing a composition comprising a water-soluble component capable of being released through the water-permeable pouch. Other such products include lozenges, meltable products, chewable products, and the like.
CRYSTALLINE COATED HERBAGE HAVING A CONSISTENT CANNABINOID CONCENTRATION
Herbage such as cannabis flower having a thin coating including crystallized cannabinoids having an average diameter of less than 100 microns. The thin coating is in a ratio of no more than 1:10 on a weight to weight basis so that the total cannabinoid content of the herbage does not exceed 35% by weight. THCA crystals in the form of granules or powder to coat the herbage. In one embodiment, the herbage is heated to less than 100 degrees F. to enable the coating to adhere. The coating improves structural integrity of the herbage so it resists crushing when transported or stacked in a container or during storage. The coating inhibits deleterious interactions between the herbage and ambient air while achieving a standardized THC.sub.total content.
