The flavor and aroma characteristics of the smoke of a tobacco blend incorporating Oriental tobacco are improved by subjecting that blend to heat treatment. Oriental tobacco having a relatively high sucrose ester content is combined with a second dissimilar Oriental tobacco material and/or a non-Oriental tobacco material to form a tobacco mixture, and that mixture is heated for a time and under conditions sufficient to reduce the concentration of sucrose esters in the Oriental tobacco. Tobacco blends having reduced levels of sucrose esters yield smoke that does not possess undesirable off-notes provided by pyrolysis products of those sucrose esters; namely, 2-methylpropionic acid, 3-methylbutyric acid and 3-methylpentanoic acid.

A perfume encapsulate comprises an aminoplast capsule, the capsule shell comprising urea-formaldehyde or melamine-formaldehyde polymer and a second polymer comprising a polymer or copolymer of one or more anhydrides, preferably ethylene/maleic anhydride copolymer. The second polymer improves the stability of the capsules with respect to surfactant, thus improving perfume retention properties and enabling use of the capsules in aqueous surfactant-containing products in a way that has not hitherto been possible.

The invention discloses chewable soft capsules, which comprise capsule shells and contents sealed in the capsule shells. The chewable soft capsules are characterized by comprising the following raw materials in part by weight: 25 to 65 parts of glutin, 1 to 25 percent of thickening agent, 18 to 65 parts of plasticizer, 4 to 16 parts of water and a mixture containing one or more of 0.005 to 20 parts of sweetening agent, 0.005 to 2 parts of essence, 0.0001 to 10 parts of pigment and 0.0001 to 5 parts of acid additive. The invention also discloses a method for preparing the novel chewable soft capsules. The chewable soft capsules have the advantages of reasonable blending ratio, proper hardness, good temperature resistance, no adhesion, no deformation, stable storage, quick dissolution of effectively components and high chewiness; and when the chewing soft capsules are chewed, tastes of the capsule shells and the contents easily and uniformly spread in the mouth so as to cover up bad taste of raw materials.

The present invention relates to fragrance delivery systems which comprise: A) from about 0.01% by weight of a pro-fragrance component which comprises pro-fragrances or pro-accords selected from at least two of the following: i) aldehyde and ketone releasing pro-fragrances, preferably an oxazolidine pro-fragrance; ii) β-amino pro-fragrances; and iii) orthoester pro-accords; and B) the balance carries and others adjunct ingredients.

Methods and systems for developing and manufacturing componentized drug product precursor modules that can be simply assembled to create customized drug products are disclosed. Each module contains components of a final drug product (e.g., active pharmaceutical ingredients, nutritional ingredients, and/or excipients) in a fixed mixture selected to maximize desired pharmaceutical characteristics (e.g., stability, manufacturing efficiency) and minimize cost. The modules can be extensively tested for quality and assembled immediately, or at a later time, in multiple combinations to customize the final drug product characteristics (e.g., multiple active ingredients, doses, flavor, viscosity, etc.) to meet individual patient/consumer needs and/or preferences while assuring high quality. Permitted combinations may be maintained in a database to enable networked drug product selection, prescribing, and ordering. Each resulting customized drug product dose can be labeled to facilitate compliance and reduce the number of drug products administered per day.

A method and composition to help persons reduce or quit smoking is disclosed, employing raw tobacco leaves, or tobacco fluid extract, or food grade tobacco like flavor and aroma, and Antioxidants, with or without and SAMe and caffeine. All ingredients can be in a micro-powdered or liquid form, for buccal administration. The composition can be in a tablet or capsule that is intended to be slowly sucked and dissolved in the mouth, and that delivers the nicotine, caffeine or SAMe, proved to be effective in alleviating smoking withdrawal symptoms. The composition can also be embedded inside a soft squeezable plastic cigarette for simulated smoking, providing additional periodic doses of nicotine, caffeine and SAMe to satisfy cravings for cigarettes.

Disclosed are personal care compositions for use on hair, skin, oral cavity, throat and other mucosal surfaces containing a flavor/perfume system comprising one or more coolants, wherein the pleasant cool and refreshing sensation provided by the coolant is enhanced in terms of quicker onset, greater intensity or impact and/or longer duration, thereby improving appeal and acceptability of the compositions to consumers. In one embodiment the invention provides oral care compositions comprising

• • (a) a flavor composition comprising one or more non-menthol coolants and optionally one or more additional flavor ingredients,
  • (b) a calcium ion source and/or a calcium transport agent sufficient to potentiate and/or modulate the cooling and refreshing sensation provided by the coolant(s), and
  • (c) an orally-acceptable carrier.

Upon application to the oral cavity, the compositions provide an immediate onset of cooling sensation which lasts longer than about 15 minutes thereby providing long-lasting clean and fresh mouth impression and encouraging user compliance and repeated use of the compositions.

A polymeric encapsulated fragrance is disclosed which is suitable for use in personal care and cleaning products. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the fragrance is encapsulated by a first polymer material to form a fragrance encapsulated polymer, the polymer encapsulated shell is then coated with a cationic polymer, preferably a cationic starch and guar.

A saliva-soluble stimulant unit comprising an active ingredient and optional ingredients comprising flavor and aroma additives incorporated in a gel prepared by gelling a water-binding gelling agent, in which the active ingredient comprises nicotine or other alkaloids with the same direction of activity, said unit having i) a texture profile, determined by texture profile analysis, with parameter values of firmness, hardness, brittleness, adhesiveness, elasticity, and cohesiveness within given ranges; (ii) a disintegration time within the range 5-60 minutes; and (iii) a nicotine content from 0.5 to 10 mg or a corresponding content of said alkaloids.

The invention discloses a fruit and vegetable jam and a preparation method thereof. The fruit and vegetable jam is characterized by being prepared from the following components: 50-99.8% of fruit and vegetable concentrated pulps, 0.01-0.5% of Sodium D-isoascorbate or vitamin C, 0.01-0.5% of citric acid and 0-49.8% of syrup or substitute sugar. The preparation method comprises the following steps:pulping or juicing fruits and vegetables, and then concentrating the pulped or juiced fruits and vegetables 0-10 times; evenly stirring the components in proportion, and sterilizing the components atthe temperature of 75-132 DEG C for 2 seconds-50 minutes; and cooling the sterilized fruit and vegetable pulp to 20-45 DEG C, inoculating lactic acid bacteria into the sterilized and cooled fruit andvegetable pulp at a ratio of 103-109 cfu/mL, and fermenting the pulp at the temperature of 25-45 DEG C for 6-96 hours until the pH value is 2.5-5.0. The method has the following characteristics: (1) obtaining natural tender tart flavor is obtained, the astringent flavor of the fruits and the wild artemisia flavor of the vegetables are effectively removed; (2) by means of lactic acid bacteria fermentation, the content of amino acid in the fruits and vegetables can be improved by more than 20%, the contents of substances with special flavor are improved by more than 30%, and the flavor and taste of products are effectively improved; (3) nutrient components in the fruits and vegetables, such as vitamins, dietary fibers and the like, in the fruits and vegetables are fully maintained; and (4) the quality guarantee period of food is prolonged, and corruption is avoided.
