In general, Tito abused explosive material (13)

I believe the answer is:

nitrogelatine

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'explosive material' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'in general tito abused' is the wordplay.
'abused' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'general'+'tito'='ingeneraltito'
'ingeneraltito' anagrammed gives 'NITROGELATINE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
