Novel clove-containing aerosol-generating substrate

An aerosol-generating article, comprising:

• an aerosol-generating substrate comprising a homogenised plant material including clove particles, an aerosol former, and a binder, the aerosol-generating substrate further comprising:
• at least 125 micrograms of eugenol per gram of the aerosol-generating substrate, on a dry weight basis,
• at least 125 micrograms of eugenol-acetate per gram of the aerosol-generating substrate, on a dry weight basis, and
• at least 1 microgram of beta-caryophyllene per gram of the aerosol-generating substrate, on a dry weight basis.

A method of making an aerosol-generating substrate, comprising the steps of:

• forming a slurry comprising clove particles, water, an aerosol former, a binder, and optionally tobacco particles;
• casting or extruding the slurry in a form of a sheet or strands;
• and
• drying the sheet or strands at between 80 degrees Celsius and 160 degrees Celsius.
