Abstract: A white snus with sachet material, preferably a pouch, which is not moisturized during the manufacturing process, includes a filler material, a nicotine source and flavorings, wherein the flavorings include tobacco particles having a size (sD50 laser diffraction)≤30 μm adhered on an inert carrier. A method for manufacturing a white snus includes the steps of providing filler material, providing a nicotine source, providing tobacco particles having a size (sD50 laser diffraction)≤30 μm adhered on a carrier, providing further flavorings, optionally providing further ingredients and mechanically mixing the ingredients. The carrier is inert with respect to the surrounding environment, wherein the carrier itself remains chemically unchanged when contacted by other components of the snus, wherein the nicotine source does not contain tobacco.

Abstract: A tobacco smoking mixture including an ammonia-release compound adapted to be formed into a lit-end cigarette is provided. The ammonia-release compound is incorporated in or on tobacco cut filler in an amount effective to reduce the cytotoxicity, and/or selective smoke constituents of cigarette smoke. Exemplary ammonia-release compounds include ammonium acetate, ammonium hydroxide, hexammine cobalt (III) chloride, hexammine cobalt (III) acetate, and combinations thereof. The ammonia-release compounds can release ammonia at temperatures between about 60° C. and about 400° C. Ammonia-release compounds can be combined with additives, such as glycerine, cobalt acetate, copper (II) acetate, zinc acetate, other metal salts or combinations thereof, to further reduce the cytotoxicity of cigarette smoke.

Abstract: Methods of modifying the tobacco-specific nitrosamine content of a tobacco material are described herein. One exemplary method comprises contacting a tobacco material with a composition comprising salt, sugar, enzyme, lactic acid bacteria, yeast, or a combination thereof to reduce the total bacterial content; curing the tobacco material; and fermenting the tobacco material in the presence of one or more microorganisms. The method can provide a fermented tobacco material having a tobacco-specific nitrosamine content that is reduced relative to a fermented tobacco material that has not been subjected to the disclosed method steps. In certain embodiments, the tobacco-specific nitrosamine content of the fermented tobacco material is no more than that of the cured tobacco material. Tobacco-containing products including such treated tobacco materials are also provided.
