The distal end portion includes a volatile flavor-containing material incorporated in a gel of a polysaccharide, the center portion includes or does not include the volatile flavor-containing material, the proximal end portion includes or does not include the volatile flavor-containing material, and there is no case where both the center portion and the proximal end portion include the volatile flavor-containing material. | 01-24-2013 |
| 20130192614 | COATED IMPREGNATED POROUS FILTER PLUG - A process for producing a coated filter plug for a smoking article including: (a) incorporating an additive to a porous filter plug, thereby obtaining an impregnated filter plug; (b) coating a surface of the impregnated filter plug with a cross-linkable polymer material; and (c) cross-linking the cross-linkable polymer material, to form a cross-linked, breakable coating substantially enclosing the impregnated filter plug. The process may further include at least partially coating the impregnated filter plug with a cross-linking agent prior to, or subsequent to, coating with the cross-linkable polymer material. | 08-01-2013 |

| 20140352706 | ISOPROPYLMALATE SYNTHASE FROM NICOTIANA TABACUM AND METHODS AND USES THEREOF - The present invention relates to a mutant, non-naturally occurring or transgenic plant cell comprising: (i) at least one polynucleotide comprising, consisting or consisting essentially of a sequence encoding an isopropylmalate synthase and having at least 60% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NO:10 or SEQ ID NO: 12 or SEQ ID NO:14; or (ii) a polypeptide encoded by said polynucleotide(s); or (iii) a polypeptide having at least 60% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:2 or SEQ ID NO:11 or SEQ ID NO:13 or SEQ ID NO:15; or (iv) a construct, vector or expression vector comprising said polynucleotide sequence(s), optionally wherein said construct, vector or expression vector additionally comprises a promoter comprising, consisting or consisting essentially of the sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:8 or a variant thereof with at least about 60% identity thereto or a trichome promoter. | 12-04-2014 |
| 20150313281 | SMOKING ARTICLE WITH AN AIRFLOW DIRECTING ELEMENT COMPRISING AN AEROSOL-MODIFYING AGENT - There is provided a smoking article having a mouth end and a distal end, the smoking article including a combustible carbonaceous heat source; an aerosol-forming substrate; at least one air inlet downstream of the aerosol-forming substrate; an airflow pathway extending between the at least one air inlet and the mouth end of the smoking article; and an airflow directing element downstream of the aerosol-forming substrate. The airflow directing element defines a first portion of the airflow pathway extending from the at least one air inlet towards the aerosol-forming substrate and a second portion of the airflow pathway extending downstream from the first portion towards the mouth end of the smoking article. The airflow directing element includes an aerosol-modifying agent. | 11-05-2015 |
| 20150335062 | FLAVOR SOURCE FOR NON-BURNING INHALATION TYPE TOBACCO PRODUCT, AND NON-BURNING INHALATION TYPE TOBACCO PRODUCT - A flavor source ( | 11-26-2015 |
| 131277000 | Heterocyclic | 3 |
| 20080276948 | Chewing article for oral tobacco delivery - A chewing article for oral tobacco delivery includes a mouth portion and a handle portion. Preferably, the mouth portion includes a mouthpiece containing tobacco material and a cap. The mouthpiece includes at least one perforation that selectively releases the enclosed tobacco material when chewed, sucked, or manipulated. The handle portion is attached to the mouth portion. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20100126520 | Tobacco Product, Preparation and Uses Thereof - A smokeless oral tobacco product comprises a cyclodextrin or cyclodextrin derivative. Such a product can further comprise a flavourant complexed with the cyclodextrin or derivative thereof. Cyclodextrins or their derivative can be used in smokeless oral tobacco products to complex with molecules which arise or solubilize during use of the product and optionally to also release, e.g., flavour or aroma during use of the product. | 05-27-2010 |
