Nicotine pouch with capsule having mct oil

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide pouches including a capsule delivers medium chain triglycerides (MCT), which are a non-stick oil agent that prevent the paper from sticking during use. This oil is released from the capsule and flows through the walls of the pouch paper to substantially improve mouth feel and flavor. The oil can be flavored, and the nicotine pouch offers a pleasant mouth feel during use without sticking to the gums. The capsule can also provide an anti-sting effect that reduces unpleasant effects of nicotine for sensitive users.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An oral nicotine product, comprising:
 a pouch comprising fiber paper;   a granulate mixture comprising nicotine disposed within the pouch; and   a gelatin capsule comprising medium chain triglycerides (MCT) oil disposed within the pouch, wherein the capsule is operable to release the MCT oil when broken, and wherein the pouch is operable to release the granulate mixture and the MCT oil over time when used orally.   
     
     
         2 . The oral nicotine product of  claim 1 , wherein the MCT oil is operable to function as an anti-stick agent to substantially restrict the fiber paper of the pouch from sticking to gums when used orally. 
     
     
         3 . The oral nicotine product of  claim 1 , wherein the gelatin capsule further comprises a natural anesthetic. 
     
     
         4 . The oral nicotine product of  claim 1 , wherein the gelatin capsule further comprises terpenes or essential oils. 
     
     
         5 . The oral nicotine product of  claim 1 , wherein the granulate mixture comprises 4 to 20 mg of nicotine. 
     
     
         6 . The oral nicotine product of  claim 1 , wherein the gelatin capsule further comprises sorbitol, glycerin, sucralose, or coloring agents. 
     
     
         7 . The oral nicotine product of  claim 1 , wherein the gelatin capsule is a spherical 5 mm gelatin capsule. 
     
     
         8 . The oral nicotine product of  claim 1 , wherein the gelatin capsule further comprises flavoring agents. 
     
     
         9 . The oral nicotine product of  claim 1 , wherein the MCT oil is operable to function to reduce an unpleasant taste produced by the nicotine. 
     
     
         10 . The oral nicotine product of  claim 1 , wherein the fiber paper comprises chemically bonded rayon blended with polyester and an acrylic binder. 
     
     
         11 . An oral nicotine product, comprising:
 a pouch comprising fiber paper;   a granulate mixture comprising nicotine disposed within the pouch; and   a gelatin capsule comprising medium chain triglycerides (MCT) oil disposed within the pouch, and wherein the capsule is operable to partially dissolve in contact with saliva when used orally to release the MCT oil, and wherein the pouch is further operable to release the granulate mixture and the MCT oil over time.   
     
     
         12 . The oral nicotine product of  claim 11 , wherein the MCT oil is operable to function as an anti-stick agent to substantially prevent the fiber paper of the pouch from sticking. 
     
     
         13 . The oral nicotine product of  claim 11 , wherein the gelatin capsule further comprises a natural anesthetic. 
     
     
         14 . The oral nicotine product of  claim 11 , wherein the gelatin capsule further comprises terpenes or essential oils. 
     
     
         15 . The oral nicotine product of  claim 11 , wherein the nicotine is derived from tobacco. 
     
     
         16 . The oral nicotine product of  claim 11 , wherein nicotine is derived synthetically. 
     
     
         17 . The oral nicotine product of  claim 11 , wherein the gelatin capsule is a spherical 5 mm gelatin capsule. 
     
     
         18 . The oral nicotine product of  claim 11 , wherein the gelatin capsule further comprises flavoring agents. 
     
     
         19 . The oral nicotine product of  claim 11 , wherein the MCT oil is operable to reduce unpleasant tastes produced by the nicotine. 
     
     
         20 . An oral nicotine product, comprising:
 a pouch comprising rayon with polyester and an acrylic binder;   a granulate mixture disposed within the pouch, wherein the granulated mixture comprises nicotine, microcrystalline cellulose, and b-cyclodextrin; and   a gelatin capsule comprising medium chain triglycerides (MCT) oil, essential oils, and terpenes, and natural anesthetics disposed within the pouch, wherein the capsule releases the MCT oil over time when held in a mouth, and wherein the pouch is operable to release the granulate mixture and the MCT oil over time into the mouth when used orally.
