at least 1 microgram of 12-O-methylcarnosol per gram of the substrate, on a dry weight basis.
6 . The aerosol-generating article according to claim 5 , wherein an amount of betulinic acid per gram of the substrate is at least 5 times an amount of rosmaridiphenol per gram of the substrate.
7 . The aerosol-generating article according to claim 1 , wherein the homogenised rosemary material further comprises at least 40 percent by weight of tobacco particles, on a dry weight basis.
8 . The aerosol-generating article according to claim 7 , wherein the homogenised rosemary material comprises between 5 percent and 20 percent by weight of rosemary particles and between 55 percent and 70 percent by weight of tobacco particles, on a dry weight basis.
9 . The aerosol-generating article according to claim 1 ,
wherein the aerosol-generating substrate comprises one or more sheets of the homogenised rosemary material, and
wherein the one or more sheets of homogenised rosemary material each individually comprise one or more of:
a thickness of between 100 μm and 600 μm, or
a grammage of between about 100 g/m 2 and about 300 g/m 2 .
10 . The aerosol-generating article according to claim 1 ,
wherein upon heating of the aerosol-generating substrate according to Test Method A, the aerosol generated from the aerosol-generating substrate comprises:
betulinic acid in an amount of at least 0.5 micrograms per puff of aerosol,
rosmaridiphenol in an amount of at least 0.01 microgram per puff of aerosol, and
12-O-methylcarnosol in an amount of at least 0.01 micrograms per puff of aerosol, and
wherein a puff of aerosol has a volume of 55 millilitres as generated by a smoking machine.
11 . An aerosol-generating system, comprising:
an aerosol-generating device comprising a heating element; and
