Estimating the term…
Nicotine permeability through the mucous membrane depends on pH, with the uptake improving with higher pH. The invention provides stabilization of basic pH at the surface of the product during oral use thereof, without reducing nicotine mobility within the oral smokeless tobacco or nicotine-containing non-tobacco product. The invention in one aspect relates to an oral smokeless tobacco or nicotine-containing non-tobacco product comprising a composition enclosed by a wrapping material, wherein the wrapping material comprises a magnesium carbonate. In another aspect, the invention relates to an oral smokeless tobacco or nicotine-containing non-tobacco product comprising a composition enclosed by a wrapping material, and comprising a liner adjacent to the wrapping material, wherein the liner comprises magnesium carbonate in an amount of 0.1 to 10%, by total weight of the oral smokeless product.
An oral smokeless tobacco or nicotine-containing non-tobacco product comprising a tobacco or nicotine-containing non-tobacco composition enclosed by a wrapping material forming a pouch, wherein the moisture content of oven volatiles in said product is 20 to 60% by total weight of the oral product, and wherein the wrapping material or a liner adjacent to the wrapping material and contained inside the pouch comprises magnesium carbonate in an amount of at least 0.5 to 5% by total weight of the oral product.
