Abstract (en)
A smokeless article for oral consumption including a pouch containing a first particle population comprising a plurality of particles; in the first particle population the particles comprise a core comprising a nicotinic compound, wherein the core is encapsulated by a continuous coating of a non-porous, saliva-stable material, and wherein the coating is frangible, such that in use the coating fractures on chewing.Also described are embodiments wherein the pouch further comprises a second particle population comprising a plurality of particles; in the second population the particles comprise a core comprising a nicotinic compound, wherein the nicotinic compound is releasable on exposure of the second particle population to saliva. Also described is a method of manufacturing a smokeless articles for oral consumption the method including forming a first population of particles by applying a coating material to encapsulate each of a plurality of cores each core comprising a nicotinic compound, the coating being a continuous coating of a non-porous, saliva-stable material; wherein the coating is frangible; forming a porous pouch containing the first population of particles; optionally forming a second population of particles each core comprising a nicotinic compound which is releasable on exposure of the second particle population to saliva and incorporating the second population of particles into the porous pouch in a predetermined ratio with the first population of particles; and a step of sealing the pouch.
