Abstract

The disclosure provides oral products, the oral products including a fleece material that includes fibers and a releasable component. In some embodiments, oral products as described herein may be in the form of a pouchless product including a fleece material having a releasable component associated therewith, or in the form of a pouched product including a fleece material having a releasable component associated therewith in the form of a pouch, containing a substrate material therein.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An oral product, comprising a fleece material, wherein the fleece material comprises fibers and a releasable component, wherein the releasable component is embedded within the fleece material, wherein the releasable component comprises one or more active ingredients and one or more flavoring agents, wherein the one or more flavoring agents comprises one or more of cinnamaldehyde, sabinene, limonene, gamma-terpinene, beta-farnesene, and citral, alone or in combination with a second flavoring agent comprising one or more aldehydes, ketones, esters, terpenes, terpenoids, trigeminal sensates, compounds having a carbon-carbon double bond, compounds having a carbon-oxygen double bond, ethyl vanillin, and combinations thereof, and wherein the oral product is substantially free of a tobacco material other than any nicotine component present therein.

2. The oral product of claim 1 , wherein the one or more active ingredients are selected from the group consisting of a nicotine component, botanicals, nutraceuticals, stimulants, amino acids, vitamins, cannabinoids, cannabimimetics, terpenes, and combinations thereof.

3. The oral product of claim 1 , wherein the releasable component is encapsulated in a plurality of capsules.

4. The oral product of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of capsules is rupturable by a user of the product to release the releasable component.

5. The oral product of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of capsules is contained within the bulk of the fleece material.

6. The oral product of claim 1 , wherein the fibers are selected from the group consisting of cellulose fibers, viscose fibers, regenerated cellulose fibers, wood fibers, cotton fibers, wool fibers, polyglycolic acid fibers, polylactic acid fibers, polyhydroxyalkanoate fibers, polycaprolactone fibers, polybutylene succinate fibers, polybutylene succinate adipate fibers, and combinations thereof.

7. An oral pouched product, comprising a fleece material in the form of a pouch and containing a material, the fleece material comprising fibers and a releasable component, wherein the releasable component is embedded within the fleece material, wherein the releasable component comprises one or more active ingredients and one or more flavoring agents, wherein the one or more flavoring agents comprises one or more of cinnamaldehyde, sabinene, limonene, gamma-terpinene, beta-farnesene, and citral, alone or in combination with a second flavoring agent comprising one or more aldehydes, ketones, esters, terpenes, terpenoids, trigeminal sensates, compounds having a carbon-carbon double bond, compounds having a carbon-oxygen double bond, ethyl vanillin, and combinations thereof, and wherein the oral pouched product is substantially free of a tobacco material other than any nicotine component present therein.

8. The oral pouched product of claim 7 , wherein the one or more active ingredients are selected from the group consisting of a nicotine component, botanicals, nutraceuticals, stimulants, amino acids, vitamins, cannabinoids, cannabimimetics, terpenes, and combinations thereof.

9. The oral pouched product of claim 7 , wherein the releasable component is encapsulated in a plurality of capsules.

10. The oral pouched product of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of capsules is rupturable by a user of the product to release the releasable component.

11. The oral pouched product of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of capsules is contained within the bulk of the fleece material.

12. The oral pouched product of claim 7 , wherein the material comprises one or more of a nicotine component, botanicals, nutraceuticals, stimulants, amino acids, vitamins, cannabinoids, cannabimimetics, terpenes, flavoring agents, and combinations thereof.

13. The oral pouched product of claim 12 , wherein the fibers are selected from the group consisting of cellulose fibers, viscose fibers, regenerated cellulose fibers, wood fibers, cotton fibers, wool fibers, polyglycolic acid fibers, polylactic acid fibers, polyhydroxyalkanoate fibers, polycaprolactone fibers, polybutylene succinate fibers, polybutylene succinate adipate fibers, and combinations thereof.

14. A pouchless oral product, comprising a fleece material, wherein the fleece material comprises fibers and a releasable component, wherein the releasable component is embedded within the fleece material, wherein the releasable component comprises one or more active ingredients and one or more flavoring agents, wherein the one or more flavoring agents comprises one or more of cinnamaldehyde, sabinene, limonene, gamma-terpinene, beta-farnesene, and citral, alone or in combination with a second flavoring agent comprising one or more aldehydes, ketones, esters, terpenes, terpenoids, trigeminal sensates, compounds having a carbon-carbon double bond, compounds having a carbon-oxygen double bond, ethyl vanillin, and combinations thereof.
