Abstract

An oral product includes a body that is wholly receivable in an oral cavity. The body includes a mouth-stable polymer matrix, cellulosic fibers embedded in the mouth-stable polymer matrix, and an additive dispersed in the mouth-stable polymer matrix. The oral product is adapted to release the additive from the body when the body is received within the oral cavity and exposed to saliva.

Claims (48)

1 . An oral product comprising:

a fiber-polymer matrix including,

a thermoplastic elastomer in an amount greater than or equal to 60 weight percent of the oral product, and

a cellulosic material embedded in the thermoplastic elastomer, the cellulosic material present in an amount greater than or equal to 10 weight percent of the oral product,

an additive; and

medium chain triglycerides,

the oral product having a springiness of greater than 20%.

2 . The oral product of claim 1 , wherein the oral product has a compressibility at 250 N ranging from 45% to 90%.

3 . The oral product of claim 1 , wherein the oral product has a compressibility at 425 N ranging from 60% to 98%.

4 . The oral product of claim 2 , further comprising:

a sweetener in the fiber-polymer matrix.

5 . The oral product of claim 4 , wherein the sweetener includes saccharine, sucralose, aspartame, acesulfame potassium, or any combination thereof.

6 . The oral product of claim 1 , wherein the additive includes a mineral, a vitamin, a dietary supplement, a nutraceutical, an energizing agent, a soothing agent, an amino acid, a chemesthetic agent, an antioxidant, botanical, a teeth whitening agent, a therapeutic agent, or any combination thereof.

7 . The oral product of claim 1 , further comprising:

a flavorant in the fiber-polymer matrix.

8 . The oral product of claim 1 , wherein the thermoplastic elastomer includes polyurethane.

9 . The oral product of claim 1 , further comprising:

soluble fibers in the fiber-polymer matrix.

10 . The oral product of claim 9 , wherein the soluble fibers include maltodextrin.

11 . The oral product of claim 1 , wherein the fiber-polymer matrix defines a first plurality of pores having a first diameter ranging from 40 microns to 60 microns and a second plurality of pores having a second diameter ranging from 1 micron to 10 microns.

12 . The oral product of claim 1 , wherein the springiness ranges from 75% to 95%.

13 . The oral product of claim 1 , wherein the fiber-polymer matrix is an extruded fiber-polymer matrix.

14 . The oral product of claim 1 , wherein the cellulosic material includes cellulosic fibers.

15 . The oral product of claim 14 , wherein the cellulosic fibers include fibers include sugar beet fibers, wood pulp fibers, cotton fibers, bran fibers, citrus pulp fibers, grass fibers, willow fibers, poplar fibers, or any combination thereof.

16 . The oral product of claim 1 , further comprising:

a filler.

17 . The oral product of claim 16 , wherein the filler includes microcrystalline cellulose.

18 . The oral product of claim 1 , wherein the thermoplastic elastomer has a shore Hardness of less than or equal to 50 D.

19 . An oral product comprising:

a fiber-polymer matrix including,

a thermoplastic elastomer in an amount greater than or equal to 60 weight percent of the oral product, and

a cellulosic material embedded in the thermoplastic elastomer, the cellulosic material present in an amount greater than or equal to 10 weight percent of the oral product,

an additive; and

medium chain triglycerides,

the oral product having a compressibility at 250 N ranging from 45% to 90%.

20 . An oral product comprising:

a fiber-polymer matrix including,

a thermoplastic elastomer in an amount greater than or equal to 60 weight percent of the oral product, and

a cellulosic material embedded in the thermoplastic elastomer, the cellulosic material present in an amount greater than or equal to 10 weight percent of the oral product,

an additive; and

medium chain triglycerides,

the oral product having a compressibility at 425 N ranging from 60% to 98%.

21 . An oral product comprising:
