Abstract: Disclosed are powder compositions with a pH of at least 6 for delivery of an active agent to the nasal cavity, wherein the active agent is selected from at least one of nicotine, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and ethanol. The compositions comprise a filling agent of water soluble and water insoluble microcrystalline cellulose and a matrix forming agent and have a defined brightness and particle size range. Also disclosed are products including the powder compositions and support particles inducing a desired property to the product.

Abstract: Compositions for use in the oral or nasal cavity are disclosed. The compositions include a biologically active agent, a matrix forming agent comprising ?-glucan and a filling agent. The compositions can further include additional excipients such as antioxidants, preservatives, taste or flavour enhancers, pH adjusters, plasticizers and sweeteners. Methods of producing the compositions are also disclosed.

Abstract: The specification discloses compositions for use in the oral or nasal cavity comprising a biologically active agent, a matrix forming agent comprising alginate and suitable salts thereof, a filling agent and at least one antioxidant that is an effective complex binder. The compositions can further comprise additional excipients such as preservatives, taste or flavour enhancers, pH adjusters, plasticizers and sweeteners. The specification also discloses methods of producing the compositions.

Abstract: A product container for an oral consumer product including a first and second compartment. The compartments are divided from each other by a transparent member. The first compartment is adapted to host the oral consumer product and the second compartment is adapted to host the same oral consumer product after it has been consumed by a consumer.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a plant fiber product for oral use, the product containing a mixture of at least: plant fibers; and at least one added substance intended to be released from the product when the product is used. The product contains an alginate composition, dispersed in the product and comprising at least water, alginate and the added substance, the composition containing an alginate matrix that firmly retains at least a major proportion of the added substance so long as the matrix is intact, and the alginate matrix being formed so as to disintegrate and/or dissolve in the chemical and physical environment that exists in a user's mouth. The disclosure also relates to a method for preparing such a plant fiber product.

Abstract: A process for production of bleached tobacco raw material comprising: (I) mechanically defibrating uncooked tobacco raw material to produce a defibrated tobacco raw material; and (II) treating the defibrated tobacco raw material with at least one bleaching agent to produce a treated tobacco raw material. Embodiments also include bleached tobacco raw material obtainable by the process.

Abstract: A product container for an oral consumer product including a first and second compartment. The compartments are divided from each other by a transparent member. The first compartment is adapted to host the oral consumer product and the second compartment is adapted to host the same oral consumer product after it has been consumed by a consumer.

Abstract: An oral delivery product comprises a semi-permeable pouch designed for being placed in the oral cavity of a subject. The pouch encloses multiple solid particles of an alginate salt of monovalent cation comprising a biologically active substance comprised in the matrix formed by the alginate salt in the particles.

Abstract: An oral delivery product comprising a semi-permeable pouch designed for delivery of an active agent in the oral cavity of a subject. The pouch encloses multiple particles, and the particles are alginate matrices that comprise an active agent, e.g. nicotine. The alginate is e.g. sodium alginate, such as PROTANAL® LFR 5/60 or PROTANAL® LF 10/60.

Abstract: Bleached tobacco raw material comprising less than about 4 weight-% fermentable carbohydrates, calculated on the dry total weight of the bleached tobacco raw material. Smoking tobacco composition comprising the bleached tobacco raw material. Smokeless tobacco composition comprising the bleached tobacco raw material. Nasal snuff comprising the smokeless tobacco composition. Oral smokeless tobacco product comprising the smokeless tobacco composition. A process for production of bleached tobacco raw material comprising: (a) treating tobacco raw material at acidic pH at about 70° C. to about 180° C. with sulfite ion; (b) defibrating the tobacco raw; and (c) treating the defibrated material with a bleaching agent at about 60° C. to about 90° C. Bleached tobacco raw material for use in the treatment of nicotine addiction.

Abstract: An oral smokeless tobacco product comprises bleached tobacco raw material with less than about 4 weight-% fermentable carbohydrates, calculated on dry total weight of the bleached tobacco raw material, with an ISO brightness not less than about 60; nicotine selected from nicotine from tobacco plants and/or synthetic nicotine; and an alginate composition. The alginate composition is distributed in the product and comprises at least water, alginate and an added substance intended to be released from the product when used. The composition contains an alginate matrix that retains at least a major proportion of the added substance so long as the matrix is intact, the alginate matrix being formed so as to disintegrate and/or dissolve in the chemical and physical environment existing in a user's mouth. The alginate contains an alginate salt of monovalent cations and is soluble in cold water. The product has a water content of 5 to 55%.
