ORAL COMPOSITIONS WITH REDUCED WATER CONTENT

Abstract: the disclosure provides for oral compositions that exhibit desired properties associated with moist products while incorporating a relatively low water content. such compositions may include at least one releasable material, at least one filler/carrier component, and at least one water substitute, such as a polyol. the water substituted may be present in an amount of about 25% by weight or greater based on the total weight of the oral composition, and the compositions and products formed therewith can exhibit a relatively low water activity, such as in the range of about 0.85 or less. the present disclosure further provides methods of forming an oral composition with a mouthfeel corresponding to a moist product while having a relatively low water activity.
