Meltable smokeless tobacco composition |
摘要 |
A meltable smokeless tobacco composition configured for insertion into the mouth of a user is provided. The smokeless tobacco composition includes a tobacco material and a lipid having a melting point of about 36° C. to about 45° C. An associated process is also provided. The process includes melting a lipid having a melting point of about 36° C. to about 45° C. to form a molten lipid composition, mixing a tobacco material with the molten lipid composition to form a molten smokeless tobacco composition, and cooling the molten smokeless tobacco composition to form a solidified smokeless tobacco composition. |

1. A process for preparing a meltable smokeless tobacco composition configured for insertion into the mouth of a user, comprising:
melting a lipid having a melting point of about 36° C. to about 45° C. to form a molten lipid composition; preparing a spray-dried or freeze-dried mixture of tobacco extract and a second particulate material by mixing an aqueous tobacco extract with an amount of the second particulate material sufficient to provide a mixture with a solids content of at least about 18 weight percent, and thereafter subjecting the mixture to spray-drying or freeze-drying to form a dry particulate material; mixing the spray-dried or freeze-dried mixture with the molten lipid composition to form a molten smokeless tobacco composition; and cooling the molten smokeless tobacco composition to form a solidified smokeless tobacco composition. |
