Publication number: 20170112183Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 2, 2015Publication date: April 27, 2017Inventor: Lars BJÖRKHOLM

Publication number: 20170020183Abstract: 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%.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2016Publication date: January 26, 2017Inventor: Lars BJÖRKHOLM

Publication number: 20090008391Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a box including an open container and a lid for closing the open container is disclosed, the box in a closed state comprising two base surfaces, one of which consists of the bottom wall of the open container and the other of the top wall of the lid, together with at least one lateral surface, which is formed by a container side and a lid side. When the box is in the closed state the container side and the lid side at least partial overlap one another. An inward facing, inclined slide surface is furthermore arranged on the inside of the top wall of the lid in order, when closing the open container, to allow displacement of the lid into the correct closing position relative to the container. The slide surface runs along and adjacent to the lid side at an angle relative to the top wall and the lid side and is remote from the lid side.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2006Publication date: January 8, 2009Inventor: Lars Bjorkholm
