1. A method of making a pre-portioned, soft, chewable and orally-dissolvable and/or -disintegrable product comprising: dissolving a biopolymer and a sugar in water to form a solution;adding an amount of a botanical powder to the solution;stirring the solution to form a suspension;gelling the suspens
1. A method of making a pre-portioned, soft, chewable and orally-dissolvable and/or -disintegrable product comprising: dissolving a biopolymer and a sugar in water to form a solution;adding an amount of a botanical powder to the solution;stirring the solution to form a suspension;gelling the suspension to form a gel;drying the gel to form a dried gel; andportioning the dried gel to form a pre-portioned, soft, chewable and orally-dissolvable and/or -disintegrable product, whereinthe amount of the botanical powder is distributed in a biopolymer-sugar based matrix. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the solution is heated to a temperature of about 40° C. to about 95° C. and wherein the solution is stirred for about 15 minutes to about 45 minutes. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the soft, chewable and orally dissolvable and/or disintegrable product comprises about 30 wt % to about 75 wt % of the botanical powder, about 1 wt % to about 35 wt % of the biopolymer, about 2 wt % to about 60 wt % of the sugar and up to about 10 wt % additives. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the sugar is included in an amount sufficient to substantially inhibit cross-linking between the botanical powder and the biopolymer. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein: the sugar is selected from the group consisting of: monosaccharides including fructose, glucose and xylose; disaccharides including sucrose, trehalose and lactose;trisaccharides;polysaccharides;oligosaccharides including fructan and inulins;sugar alcohols including sorbitol, xylitol, lactitol and maltitol; andcombinations thereof;the biopolymer is selected from the group consisting of gellan gum, konjac gum, modified starch, pectin, carrageenan, guar gum, xanthan gum, locust bean gum, agar, gum Arabic, alginate, cellulose and combinations thereof;the botanical powder is selected from the group consisting of tobacco powder, coffee powder, tea powder, herb powder, spice powder, cocoa powder and combinations thereof; andthe botanical powder has dimensions of less than about 50 mesh. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the botanical powder has dimensions of less than about 50 mesh. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the soft, chewable and orally-dissolvable and/or -disintegrable product is up to about 1 inch in height, up to about 1 inch in width, and up to about 1 inch in length and wherein the soft, chewable and orally-dissolvable and/or -disintegrable product has a density of less than about 2.0 g/cm3. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the soft, chewable and orally-dissolvable and/or -disintegrable product ranges in size from about 0.1 inch to about 0.5 inch in height, about 0.5 inch to about 1.0 inch in width and about 0.25 to about 0.5 inch in length. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the soft, chewable and orally-dissolvable and/or -disintegrable product further comprises (a) at least one vitamin, (b) at least one mineral, (c) at least one nutraceutical, (d) at least one amino acid, (e) at least one energizing agent, (f) at least one soothing agent, (g) at least one sweetener, (h) at least one coloring agent, (i) at least one chemesthesis agent, (j) at least one antioxidant, (k) at least one food-grade emulsifier and/or (l) at least one pH modifier. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the soft, chewable and orally-dissolvable and/or -disintegrable product has a water activity of about 0.70 aw to about 0.30 aw. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the soft, chewable and orally-dissolvable and/or -disintegrable product has water activity of less than about 0.60 aw. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the sugar is selected from the group consisting of: monosaccharides including fructose, glucose and xylose;disaccharides including sucrose, trehalose and lactose;trisaccharides;polysaccharides;oligosaccharides including fructan and inulins;sugar alcohols including sorbitol, xylitol, lactitol and maltitol; andcombinations thereof. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the biopolymer is selected from the group consisting of agar, alginate, carrageenan, cellulose, gellan gum, guar gum, gum Arabic, konjac gum, locust bean gum, modified starch, pectin, xanthan gum, and combinations thereof. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the pre-portioned, soft, chewable and orally-dissolvable and/or -disintegrable product includes flavor beads comprising a solid, liquid or gel center and a hard outer coating. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the pre-portioned, soft, chewable and orally-dissolvable and/or -disintegrable product includes a hard outer coating comprising a polymeric coating. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the hard outer coating has a rough surface. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein the flavor beads are included in the soft, chewable and orally-dissolvable and/or -disintegrable product in an amount of about 1 wt % to about 5 wt % based on the weight of the soft, chewable and orally dissolvable and/or disintegrable product. 18. The method of claim 14, wherein the flavor beads are contained in a center of the soft, chewable and orally-dissolvable and/or -disintegrable product and/or on the exterior of the soft, chewable and orally dissolvable and/or disintegrable product. 19. A method of making a soft, chewable and orally-dissolvable and/or -disintegrable product comprising: dispersing tobacco powder in water to form a suspension;adding at least one enzyme in an amount of up to about 5 wt % by weight of the tobacco powder to the suspension;storing the suspension at a temperature above about 35° C. for about 24 hours to about 60 hours to form enzyme treated tobacco;dissolving a biopolymer and a sugar in water to form a solution;adding the enzyme treated tobacco to the solution;stirring the solution to form a suspension;gelling the suspension to form a gel;drying the gel to form a dried gel; andportioning the dried gel to form a pre-portioned, soft, chewable and orally-dissolvable and/or -disintegrable product. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein the enzyme is selected from the group consisting of pectinases, cellulases, hemicellulases, ferulic acid esterase, proteases, lipases and combinations thereof.
