Abstract
A breakable capsule for use in a tobacco industry product is disclosed. The capsule has a core-shell structure that includes a core containing both a crystallization inhibitor and at least about 35% w/w menthol, based on the total weight of the core. The crystallization inhibitor, which is different than methanol, may help reduce or inhibit the crystallization of methanol in the core-shell structure.
