Use of pectin or other anionic polymers in the stabilization and controlled release of nicotine in oral sensorial tobacco products or nicotine containing non-tobacco oral sensorial products
The use of pectins and/or polymers to prevent nicotine oxidation in tobacco containing products is disclosed. These polymers may be naturally occurring anionic polymers or synthetic polymers. These pectins and/or polymers prevent nicotine from oxidizing into cotinine, nicotine-cis-N-oxide, nicotine-trans-N-oxide, and/or nicotine-1,1-di-N-oxide. Molluscicides, algaecides, pesticides, and stabilized nicotine compositions comprising nicotine and pectin, anionic polymers, or combinations thereof are disclosed.
1. A pouched product comprising:
reconstituted tobacco; and
a mixture including,
nicotine in an amount ranging from 1 weight percent to 30 weight percent, and
a stabilizing composition in an amount ranging from 70 weight percent to 90 weight percent, the stabilizing composition including,
pectin, a carboxylated polymer, a sulfated polymer, a phosphorylated polymer, or any combination thereof.
2. The pouched product of claim 1 , further comprising:
a tobacco extract, the tobacco extract including, the nicotine.
3. The pouched product of claim 1 , wherein the nicotine and the stabilizing composition are in the form of a complex.
4. The pouched product of claim 1 , wherein the stabilizing composition includes the pectin.
5. The pouched product of claim 4 , wherein the pectin is electrostatically attracted to the nicotine.
6. The pouched product of claim 4 , wherein the pectin includes tobacco pectin.
7. The pouched product of claim 6 , wherein the tobacco pectin is configured to prolong release of the nicotine from the pouched product during exposure to saliva.
8. The pouched product of claim 6 , wherein the tobacco pectin includes unwashed tobacco pectin.
9. The pouched product of claim 6 , wherein the tobacco pectin includes dialyzed tobacco pectin.
10. The pouched product of claim 4 , wherein the pectin includes apple-derived pectin, citrus-derived pectin, sugar beet-derived pectin, sunflower-derived pectin, mango-derived pectin, or any combination thereof.
11. The pouched product of claim 1 , wherein
the stabilizing composition includes the carboxylated polymer, and
the carboxylated polymer includes carboxymethylcellulose, alginate, alginic acid, or any combination thereof.
12. The pouched product of claim 1 , wherein
the stabilizing composition includes the sulfated polymer, and
the sulfated polymer includes carrageenan, fucoidan, heparan sulfate, heparin, or any combination thereof.
13. The pouched product of claim 1 , wherein
the stabilizing composition includes the phosphorylated polymer, and
the phosphorylated polymer includes deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA), or both DNA and RNA.
14. The pouched product of claim 1 , wherein the stabilizing composition is configured to reduce oxidation of the nicotine into cotinine, nicotine-cis-N-oxide, nicotine-trans-N-oxide, nicotine-1,1-di-N-oxide, or any combination thereof.
15. A pouched product comprising:
a wrapper; and
a releasable composition on the wrapper, the releasable composition including,
nicotine in an amount ranging from 1 weight percent to 30 weight percent of the releasable composition, and
a stabilizing composition in an amount ranging from 70 weight percent to 99 weight percent of the releasable composition, the releasable composition including,
pectin, a carboxylated carbohydrate polymer, a sulfated polymer, a phosphorylated polymer, or any combination thereof.
16. The pouched product of claim 15 , wherein the stabilizing composition includes the pectin.
17. The pouched product of claim 15 , wherein the pectin includes tobacco pectin.
18. The pouched product of claim 15 , wherein the pectin includes unwashed tobacco pectin, dialyzed tobacco pectin, or both unwashed tobacco pectin and dialyzed tobacco pectin.
19. A pouched product comprising:
nicotine in an amount ranging from 1 weight percent to 30 weight percent, and
a stabilizing composition in an amount ranging from 70 weight percent to 90 weight percent, the stabilizing composition including,
a sulfated polymer including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA), or both DNA and RNA.
