Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tobacco mixture of the "American Blend" type with a proportion of up to 70 wt.% Of Virginia tobaccos, up to 40 wt.% Of Burley tobaccos, up to 20 wt.% Of Oriental tobaccos and bis to 5% by weight of other types of tobacco, these tobaccos being able to be present as swelling tobacco up to 60%, and furthermore a cigarette containing this tobacco mixture.
  • the object of the invention is to reduce the proportion of nitrosamines in tobacco blends of the "American Blend” type and the cigarettes produced therefrom.
  • the tobacco-specific nitrosamines such as N'-nitrosonornicotin (NNN), the nitrosonornikotinketon or 4- (methyl) nitrosoamino) -1- (3-pyridyl) -1-butanone (NNK), N'-nitrosoanatabine (NAT) and N'-nitrosoanabasine (NAB), up to 10 ⁇ g in the mainstream smoke and in one about 4 to 10 times the amount in the sidestream smoke occur, to be regarded as disturbing.
  • NNN N'-nitrosonornicotin
  • NNK nitrosonornikotinketon
  • NK 4- (methyl) nitrosoamino) -1- (3-pyridyl) -1-butanone
  • NAT N'-nitrosoanatabine
  • NAB N'-nitrosoanabasine
  • TSNA tobacco-specific nitrosamines
  • WO 02/28209 A1 discloses a process by which the TSNAs are removed by adsorption from a solution of solvent-treated tobacco, the TSNA freed or depleted solution being used either for the production of reconstituted tobacco or as an aroma component for the insoluble tobacco Residue or any tobacco blend can be added.
  • TSNA adsorption process As follows: The tobacco, usually ribs or tobacco waste is extracted with a solvent consisting primarily of water for about 0.5 to 6 hours at temperatures of 10 to 100 ° C; then the solution separated from the tobacco material is concentrated and contacted with a TSNA-receiving adsorbent, such as activated carbon or zeolite, in an amount of 5 to 50 wt.% Based on the amount of extract After separation of the adsorbent of TSNA freed extract is all or part applied to the extracted tobacco material, which optionally after a papermaking process, eg according to US 4,182,349, or with a casting method, e.g. according to US 4,674,519, is processed into a film of reconstituted tobacco.
  • a TSNA-receiving adsorbent such as activated carbon or zeolite
  • the burley tobacco of the reconstituted tobacco sheet is at least 60% by weight of the lamina of Burley tobacco.
  • other air-cured dark tobaccos such as "Maryland” or “Geudertheimer”, also count as Burley tobacco.
  • the reconstituted tobacco sheet has been impregnated either with and / or after its preparation with odor, flavor and / or flavorings.
  • the tobacco blend according to the invention can be presented to the smoker once as a fine cut for the self-production of cigarettes., As a pipe tobacco, but also as a cigarette-like smoking product and especially as a factory cigarette.
  • Filter cigarettes were made from an American Blend tobacco mix of 40% by weight Burley and Maryland tobaccos, 48% by weight Virginia tobacco and 12% by weight Oriental tobacco, and their physical data, their smoke and tobacco ingredients and their content of tobacco-specific nitrosamines determined.
  • Filter cigarettes were made from an "American Blend" blend of 29 weight percent Burley tobacco, 63 weight percent Virginia tobacco, and 8 weight percent Oriental tobacco.
  • 2a Burley tobacco reduced Burley tobacco according to Example 1 according to the TSNA method was used as cut reconstituted film for the entire proportion of 29 wt.
  • 2b Burley tobacco predominantly, namely a proportion of 18% by weight of this TSNA-reduced tobacco and to a lesser extent, namely 11% by weight, of conventional Burley tobacco.
  • Table II shows the compositions of the "American Blend" tobacco mixtures with TSNA-reduced or partially TSNA-reduced Burley tobaccos, including those of the comparison mixture and their tobacco-specific nitrosamine levels in tobacco plus the respective percentage reduction.
  • the table shows a significant reduction of tobacco-specific nitrosamines with up to 51% for the single substance NNN and a nicotine reduction in the tobacco of 18% for the mixture with Burley tobacco treated completely according to the TSNA method.
  • the "American Blend" blend with predominantly TSNA-treated Burley tobacco and lower levels of conventional Burley tobacco, has correspondingly lower partially reduced TSNA levels with up to 46% reduction in NNN and nicotine reduction of 12%.
  • the cigarettes according to the invention were assessed by an independent panel as compared to the comparison cigarettes in terms of taste and other properties as equivalent ⁇ u> Table II ⁇ / u> comparison 2a TSNA- reduced Reduction [%] 2b TSNA- reduced Reduction [%] Burley [%] 29 0 11 Burley TSNA-red.
