Abstract: An aerosol-generating substrate for a heated aerosol-generating article is provided, the aerosol-generating substrate including: homogenised tobacco material, the homogenised tobacco material including dried green tobacco material, an aerosol former, and a binder, the homogenised tobacco material having an aerosol former content of between 5 percent and 55 percent by weight on a dry weight basis. A dried green tobacco material for forming an aerosol-generating substrate for an aerosol-generating article, and a method of producing dried green tobacco material for the aerosol-generating substrate, are also provided.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating article is provided, including an aerosol-generating substrate, the aerosol-generating substrate formed of a homogenised plant material, including: between 1 percent by weight and 65 percent by weight of non-tobacco plant particles, on a dry weight basis; between 15 percent by weight and 55 percent by weight of aerosol former, on a dry weight basis; between 5 percent by weight and 10 percent by weight of cellulose ether, on a dry weight basis; and between 5 percent by weight and 50 percent by weight of additional cellulose, on a dry weight basis, in which the additional cellulose is in a form of isolated cellulose and is not derived from the non-tobacco plant particles, and in which a ratio of additional cellulose to cellulose ether in the homogenised plant material is at least 2.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an aerosol-generating film for generating an aerosol upon heating is provided, including: preparing a film-forming composition including a cellulose based film-forming agent, a non-cellulose based thickening agent, at least about 30 wt percent of water, and at least about 20 wt percent of a polyhydric alcohol being glycerin; forming a layer of the composition less than 1 millimeter thick; and heating the layer to evaporate at least some of the water to obtain the film, the layer being heated to a temperature and for a time such that the film contains less than or equal to about 30 wt percent of water, and the step of preparing the composition further includes dissolving the cellulose based agent and the non-cellulose based thickening agent in the water to form a water-based preparation, defoaming the preparation, and mixing the polyhydric alcohol into the preparation to obtain the composition.
