Which Nicotine Pouch Formula Stays More Stable? | #GFN26ScienceLab
3 Aug 2026
How much nicotine remains in a nicotine pouch after months of storage? And can formulation design improve long-term stability?
In this presentation, Anna Balconi explores preliminary research comparing conventional microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)-based nicotine pouches with a novel semi-gel-based formulation developed by Alchem NicSelect. The study examines how nicotine content changes over time and investigates whether different pouch architectures can reduce degradation caused by oxidation and evaporation.
