Abstract:
A method of providing a comestible plant material taken orally by coating a micronized plant material (201 ) with a first layer of polysaccharides or proteins, then a second layer of polysaccharides or proteins is disclosed. A bi-encapsulated plant material produced by this process is also disclosed.
Abstract:
Flavorants are emulsified in tobacco-derived lipids and encapsulated with biopolymers and polysaccharides. The emulsions include oil-in-water emulsions, oil-in-water-in-oil emulsions, water-in oil emulsions, or water-in-oil-in-water emulsions, and optionally include ethanol and/or propylene glycol in an oil phase.
Abstract:
A coated solid flavor particle comprises: a base particle comprising a solid flavor particle; a first polymeric coating material at least partially coating the base particle, said first coating material being selected from the group consisting of proteins, cationic polysaccharides or oligosaccharides, non-ionic polysaccharides or oligosaccharides, and mixtures of them; and a second polymeric coating material at least partially coating the first coating, said second coating material being selected from polysaccharides, proteins, a mixture of polysaccharides, a mixture of proteins, or a mixture of polysaccharides and proteins.
Abstract:
Delivery of additives in a smoking article (200) is provided through thermally degradable, robust immobilized additive inserts (100). Additives can be immobilized in an elongated device (110) or an insert, wherein the elongated device (110) or the insert is sufficiently robust to allow the elongated device (110) or the insert to be manually or machine inserted into a smoking article (200) while maintaining the structure of the elongated device (110) or the insert. By providing additives in the form of thermally degradable immobilized additive inserts (100), migration and/or loss of the additives in a smoking article (200) prior to smoking can be reduced.
