Abstract
Methods of forming a foam including a tobacco ingredient containing agent and/or an inhalable agent, an aerosol forming agent, a foam stabilizing agent, and a foam forming agent are provided, along with a foam produced by the methods, and foams with a certain aeration, for example of at least 4 vol. % based on the total volume of the foam.
Claims7
A method of forming a foam, comprising:
- mixing an aerosol forming agent and a foam forming agent, wherein the aerosol forming agent is selected from a group consisting of glycerol, propylene glycol, sebacate estes, and mixtures thereof, and wherein the foam forming agent is selected from a group consisting of agar, gellan gum, lecithin, polyglycol esters of fatty acids, glycerol esters of fatty acids, sorbitan esters of fatty acids, and mixtures thereof;
- heating the mixture to a temperature between 30° C.-80° C.;
- adding to the mixture a tobacco ingredient containing agent and/or an inhalable agent, wherein the inhalable agent is at least one of a stimulant and a flavor;
- adding a foam stabilizing agent, wherein the foam stabilizing agent is selected from a group consisting of cellulose gum, hydroxyalkylated carbohydrates, salts thereof, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- cooling of the mixture to a temperature between 10° C.-25° C. in less than 20 minutes;
- wherein the mixture is aerated after the adding of the foam stabilizing agent and/or after cooling of the mixture, wherein the aeration is carried out at a temperature between 30° C.-80° C.,
- wherein a weight of the tobacco ingredient containing agent and/or the inhalable agent is 0.1-33 wt-% of a weight of the foam, and
- wherein a weight of the aerosol forming agent is 40-70 wt-% of the weight of the foam.

A method of forming a foam, comprising, in following order:
- mixing an aerosol forming agent, wherein the aerosol forming agent is selected from a group consisting of glycerol, propylene glycol, sebacate estes, and mixtures thereof;
- adding to the mixture a tobacco ingredient containing agent and/or an inhalable agent, wherein the inhalable agent is at least one of a stimulant and a flavor;
- adding a foam forming agent, wherein the foam forming agent is selected from a group consisting of agar, gellan gum, lecithin, polyglycol esters of fatty acids, glycerol esters of fatty acids, sorbitan esters of fatty acids, and mixtures thereof;
- adding a foam stabilizing agent, wherein the foam stabilizing agent is selected from a group consisting of cellulose gum, hydroxyalkylated carbohydrates, salts thereof, and mixtures thereof;
- and
- cooling of the mixture;
- aging the foam for a period between 4 hours and 24 hours at a temperature between 35° C. to 60° C.;
- wherein the mixture is aerated after the adding of the foam stabilizing agent and/or after cooling of the mixture for a period between 1 minute and 1 hour,
- wherein a weight of the tobacco ingredient containing agent and/or the inhalable agent is 0.1-33 wt-% of a weight of the foam, and
- wherein a weight of the aerosol forming agent is 40-70 wt-% of the weight of the foam.
