Benefits of technology

[0020]iv) optionally adding other ingredients such as one or more additional salts, humectants, dyes, flavors and flavor enhancing additives, such as liquorice and ammonium chloride,

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, the nicotine in tobacco is a substance to which people may become addicted.
However, these products are not moist and will not resemble the feeling of using moist tobacco snuff products.
Accordingly they all lack similarity with moist tobacco snuff products, such as snus, and they do not have the taste and characteristics similar to moist tobacco snuff products, such as snus.

Manufacturing of an Oral Non-Tobacco Moist Snuff Composition Comprising a Mixture of oat and Cocoa Fibers at 65 / 35 w % Proportion

[0060]Oat fibers (VITACEL® Oat Fiber HF 401, supplier LCH Kemiflor AB) and cocoa fibers (Ficao Cocoa Fibre, supplier Femtorp AB), were loaded in a dry and empty 4,200 L horizontal heat treatment mixer with plough shaped shovels on a centered shaft. Of the plant fiber materials loaded, 65 w % were oat fibers and 35 w % were cocoa fibers. The fibers were mixed to a homogenous blend. A solution of water, sodium chloride (NaCl) and glycerol was added to the fiber blend while stirring. Sodium chloride (NaCl) was added to an amount of 3.6 w / w % based on the dry weight of the final composition and glycerol was added to an amount of 5.4 w / w % of the dry weight of the final composition. The mixture was heat treated at a temperature of 70-100° C. for 10 hours accompanied by stirring of the mixture for five minutes every hour. Temperature was retained by intermittent...

Manufacturing of an Oral Non-Tobacco Moist Snuff Composition Comprising a Mixture of oat and Cocoa Fibers at 80 / 20 w % Proportion

[0062]Following the procedure of Example 1 above, a plant fiber mixture of 80 w % of oat fibers (VITACEL® Oat Fiber HF 401, supplier LCH Kemiflor AB) and 20 w % of cocoa fibers (Ficao Cocoa Fibre, supplier Femtorp AB), was added to a 130 I heat treatment mixer with the same features as the mixer used in Example 1. A solution of water, sodium chloride (NaCl) and glycerol was added to the fiber blend while stirring. The composition was processed, chilled, prepared and packed according to the procedure described above in Example 1. Besides flavorings, water, additional sodium chloride (NaCl) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), ingredients with pH buffering properties were added after chilling. Packing of the composition into 1 g portion packages resulted in a non-tobacco snuff product with sensory properties, such as taste, texture and appearance, perfectly resemb...

Oral Non-Tobacco Moist Snuff Composition Comprising Cocoa Fibers and Corn Fibers

[0064]Two types of plant fibers, Corn Fibers (SOFABRAN™ F 184-400, supplier supplier AB R. Lundbergs) and Cocoa fibers (Ficao Cocoa Fiber, supplier Femtorp AB), were used in the manufacturing of a non-tobacco snuff composition. Of the total amount of fibers added, 83 w % were corn fibers and 17 w % were cocoa fibers. The fibers were loaded to an empty horizontal heat treatment mixer (4200 L) and ingredients (sodium chloride (NaCl), glycerol, powdered liquorice and water) were added. The mixture was blended, heat treated, chilled and prepared with additional ingredients (ammonium chloride, flavorings, sodium carbonate and water). The overall manufacturing process followed the procedures as described in Example 1. The content of the ingredients in the final composition is given in Table 3. Analysis of the final composition proved a dietary fiber content of 50 w / w %, calculated on total weight of the dry we...

Abstract

A non-tobacco snuff composition for oral use including at least one type of plant fibers with a high dietary fiber content, wherein the fiber dietary content in the composition is 15-90 w/w % based on the dry weight of the composition and a method for manufacturing the non-tobacco snuff composition.

Description

[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 298,799, filed on Nov. 5, 2008 and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 597,655, filed on Mar. 22, 2010 the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.[0002]The present invention relates to a non-tobacco moist snuff composition for oral use comprising at least one type of plant fibers with high dietary fiber content and a method of manufacturing the non-tobacco moist snuff composition.BACKGROUND [0003]Tobacco can be used and / or consumed in a variety of products and methods. Most commonly, tobacco is smoked, chewed, or used as snuff.[0004]Smokeless tobacco products are tobacco-based products that are held in the mouth for an extended period of time and either chewed or used as snuff (“dipped”). Chewing tobacco, popularly called chew or chaw, is available in three forms, as loose-leaf chewing tobacco, coherent plugs and as spun strands of tobacco (product known as “twi...
