Definitions

  • the invention relates to a moist non-tobacco snuff product comprising cocoa shell fibers, and optionally additional component(s) of food grade, provided in a form for oral placement.
  • the invention further provides a process for production of said non-tobacco snuff product.
  • Tobacco is commonly smoked, chewed, or used as snuff.
  • Snuff is available in two forms; dry for sniffing, and moist (or wet), for buccal placement in the mouth cavity.
  • US4811746 A discloses a substitute for oral smokeless tobacco based on tea fragments and a method for its manufacture.
  • WO2004/056218 A1 disclose a tobacco moist snuff composition comprising a thickening agent.
  • US 2007/000506 A1 discloses a tobacco-like product comprising a base material including coffee, tea, cocoa or soy.
  • Moist non-tobacco snuff may, depending on the components used, be associated with various production-oriented drawbacks. Consequently, there exists a need for an improved non-tobacco snuff product that can be efficiently produced.
  • the current invention provides an improved snuff product devoid of tobacco and containing cocoa fibers, as well as a process for its manufacture.
  • the non-tobacco snuff product according to the present invention pertains to a snuff product comprising cocoa shell fibers.
  • cocoa fibers are available commercially, and are a residual product in the production of cocoa.
  • the parenchyma is removed from the cocoa fruit, whereupon the cocoa beans are cleaned, dried and broken up.
  • the shells are separated from the nibs, whereby the shells are essentially free from cocoa.
  • the fibers are sterilized, dried and finally roasted, to produce food-grade fibers. These fibers are subsequently grinded or shredded to produce the fibers suitable as bulk material to be used in the current invention.
  • a moist non-tobacco snuff product comprising cocoa shell fibers in an amount of 5-100 % by weight of plant fiber bulk material of the product, and optionally additional component(s) of food grade, provided in a form for oral placement.
  • the moist non-tobacco snuff product has an amount of cocoa shell fibers of from 5 to 60 % by weight of plant fiber bulk material of the product.
  • the moist non-tobacco snuff product has an amount of cocoa shell fibers of from 20 to 50 % by weight of the plant fiber bulk material of the product.
  • the moist non-tobacco snuff product may have an amount of cocoa shell fibers in all possible intervals from 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, or 95 % by weight of the bulk material of the product, to 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, or 100 % by weight of the plant fiber bulk material of the product.
  • plant fibers such as maize fibers have been used in tobacco-free snuff products.
  • large amounts of maize fibres have drawbacks in the production of non-tobacco snuff.
  • Snuff products containing only maize fibers, oat fibers, tomato fibers, rye fibers, sugar beet fibers, potato fibers, cellulose fibers, or bamboo fibers are inherently light in colour. This creates a need for darker colour, which can be achieved by Colouring agents such as Caramel. Cocoa shell fibers have a distinct advantage in that they are naturally dark in colour.
  • Cocoa fibers contribute with colouring of the product, which gives the product a colour similar to ordinary snuff containing tobacco. That colour has a certain appeal to people used to using tobacco, and it is thus a considerable advantage of using the cocoa fibers in the snuff product. This makes additional colouring agents in the product unnecessary, even though caramel may be added if the colour contributed by the cocoa fibers is deemed unsatisfactory. This might be the case when the cocoa fibers exist as a relatively small part of the product, such as 5-10% by weight of the bulk material.
  • Fibers that can influence colour and texture/glueyness of moist non-tobacco snuff have long been sought after, due to the characteristics needed.
  • the fibers need to have a low sugar content, to reduce the risk of developing caries.
  • they shall be free from unwanted chemical components and be available in large quantities at a reasonable cost. The search for the above has been cumbersome and has required a lot of time.
  • cocoa shell fibers may offset the suboptimal characteristics of maize fibers.
  • a combination of maize fibers, or other suitable plant fibers, and cocoa shell fibers produces a favourable product, compared with a product that predominantly consists of maize fibers, in regard of production matters.
  • one embodiment of the current invention pertains to a moist non-tobacco snuff product wherein the plant fiber bulk material as an additional component comprises at least one type of plant fiber chosen from the group consisting of maize fibers, oat fibers, tomato fibers, barley fibers, molasses fibers, rye fibers, sugar beet fibers, buck wheat fibers, potato fibers, cellulose fibers, apple fibers, and bamboo fibers, citrus fibers.
  • cocoa shell fibers Naturally, if only 5% of cocoa shell fibers are present in the bulk material, the full potential of the mixture of cocoa fibres with the additional fiber component is not achieved, with regard to glueyness and colour, whereby the product may still exhibit glueyness.
  • a product comprising 100 % of the cocoa shell fibers, by weight of bulk material would result in a considerably compact product, without the fluffiness provided by for example the maize fibers.
  • the grinding of the cocoa fibers may be adjusted to correspond to the portion of cocoa fibers used in the final product. Another way of dealing with high and low proportion of cocoa fiber, is to adjust glycerol level as well as final water content.
  • the plant fiber bulk material of the product may also be composed exclusively of cocoa shell fibers.
  • Such a composition would exhibit a compactness, likely due to the high fat and protein contents of the cocoa shell fibers, and possibly due to residual components such as starch.
  • a coarse grinding makes way for use as snuff in a particulate form, for individual compression by hand.
  • the cocoa shell fibers have a reduced glueyness, thus reducing or even eliminating residual glue on the fingers of the person handling the snuff.
  • an embodiment of the invention provides the moist non-tobacco snuff product as lozenges, pellets, pods, cakes, tablets, strips, sticks or capsules, or in pouches.
  • Another embodiment of the current invention provides the moist non-tobacco snuff product in particulate form.
  • the snuff product according to the invention is provided as a commercial package comprising the moist non-tobacco snuff product according to the invention in a box or bag made out of cellulose and/or metal and/or a polymer.
  • the commercial package may be supplied with a commercial text, such as a company name or an advertising text.
  • the text message may be printed on the material, or alternatively be stamped thereto or comprise a moulded part thereof.
  • the moist non-tobacco snuff product according to the invention comprises as additional component(s) at least one flavour ingredient chosen from the group consisting of fruits, berries, flowers, herbs, oil of fruits and edible plants.
  • cocoa shell fibers contribute with a fuller taste, compared with a product consisting exclusively of for example maize fibers. Whereas the aroma is influenced also at lower percentages, higher percentages of cocoa fibers are required to influence the taste of the product. Naturally, both the aroma and the taste get more pronounced with a higher content of cocoa fibers.
  • a product containing 100 % cocoa shell fibers by weight of plant fiber bulk material would have an intrinsic taste that would limit the number of flavour ingredients possible.
  • the moist non-tobacco snuff product as additional component(s) comprises at least one ingredient chosen from the group consisting of ammonium chloride, liquorice, caffeine, red clover, Echinacea, Green tea extract, Maca, Mate, Matcha, Roiboos, Ginger, Rose hips, white clover, sweet clover, cocoa, ginseng, guarana, arctic root, rosemary, buckthorn, bilberry, cranberry, lingonberry, anise, clove, gum tragacanth, gum arabic, gum acacia, gum karaya, locust bean gum, and xanthan gum.
  • Liquorice may function as an additive and/or flavour.
  • cocoa shell fibers to a product containing for example maize fibers, or products only containing cocoa fibers as bulk material reduces the risk of the composition getting burned to the walls of the production mixers.
  • Maize fibers commonly have a tendency to form such deposits.
  • the reduction of stickiness contributed by the cocoa fibers reduces clogging and the need for cleaning the production line, thus reducing interruptions in production.
  • cocoa shell fibers function as a flow-improving agent during production.
  • the moist non-tobacco snuff products are manufactured in accordance with the Gothia Tek ⁇ standard (see below), which was originally an exclusively internal quality standard of Swedish Match, and which has since become a general quality standard among several producers of snuff. Albeit the standard was conceived for tobacco-containing Products, it is equally applicable for snuff products devoid of tobacco.
  • the expression "moist non-tobacco snuff product” is used as the denomination for the current fiber-based product, either in particulate form or in a pouch. According to Swedish legislation, the product is not considered snuff or "snus”. By way of convenience, however, the product is referred to as snuff or "snus" throughout this patent specification.
  • sticky tobacco product is used for a snuff product that is compactable, either manually or mechanically.
  • gluey is a characteristic describing that the product is prone to adhere strongly to surfaces, for example during manufacturing.
  • oral placement is intended to comprise placement buccally, between the lip and gum.
  • bulk material is used as a term for a component part that is essentially inactive, thus minimally contributing to aroma and taste, as long as it does not make up the majority of the product.
  • Flavour is a substance used to influence the aroma and/or taste of the non-tobacco snuff product.
  • Additive is a substance that contributes to the texture and composition of the non-tobacco snuff product.
  • An additive may in its own right also function as a flavour to the product.
  • Particulate is used herein for a particle size of the product which enables the final product to be provided in so-called loose form, whereby a pinch of snuff may be made in individual sizes by the person using the product.
  • plant fibers embraces any plant fiber that may be useful when manufacturing a moist non-tobacco snuff.
  • the main ingredients except for tobacco are normally water, salt (table salt; NaCl) and sodium carbonate.
  • Flavours and humectants may also be used. Salt is added mainly for its effect on taste but it also has a preservative action which contributes to improved shelf life of the products. Sodium carbonate is used to give the products their characteristic flavour profile but also stabilizes the pH value. Sodium carbonate will convert to baking soda immediately after it is added.
  • Flavours in general are natural or nature identical compounds that comply with food regulations. Flavours are usually dissolved in alcohol when added. Most of the alcohol evaporates during production. Only trace quantities remain. Humectants may also be added to protect the products from drying out. Two types may be used: glycerol and propylene glycol. Both of them also have a preservative effect since they lower the water activity of the product, thus preventing microorganisms from growing.
  • the moist tobacco-containing snuff is then manufactured in two major steps, a) grinding (cutting) and b) processing (see Figure 1 ).
  • the tobacco is broken up, dried and fed into a grinder.
  • the ground tobacco is sieved into three particle size fractions, coarse, medium and fine.
  • Pre-set quantities of the three fractions are fed into a mixer silo where the tobacco flour is mixed.
  • the tobacco flour is fed into a storage silo, from which flour is automatically taken to the processing operation.
  • Each type of tobacco mixture is kept in a separate silo.
  • Manufacturing of Swedish moist snuff is for example done in a batch operation.
  • the whole process may be computer controlled and can be run day and night, all week around.
  • tobacco flour is automatically weighed and fed into the process blender.
  • Water and salt is added to the batch under stirring.
  • the batch is then heated and kept heated up for a specified time, which varies with brands.
  • Temperature and stirring is for example controlled by a process computer program. This part of the process is a pasteurization process. After pasteurization the moist snuff
  • the power of the mixing and the time period for the mixing may be crucial for obtaining an optimal product.
  • a manufacturing process for preparing a moist, non-tobacco snuff product comprising cocoa shell fibers and optionally other plant fibers, comprising the steps of
  • the non-tobacco snuff product is essentially produced in the same manner as tobacco-containing snuff (see above), which is manufactured according to the so-called GothiaTek® standard. Below, the GothiaTek® standard for producing tobacco-containing snuff is described.
  • step (c) of the process wherein water is added in step (c) of the process, giving a final water content of approximately from 30 to 50% per weight of plant fiber bulk material or more of the plant fiber bulk material, for example approximately from 35 to 41 %, as determined by Karl Fischer titration, to obtain good performance for packing the product in pouches.
  • the humectant is glycerol or propylene glycol or a combination thereof, for example glycerol.
  • glycerol is added in an amount from approximately 2 to 15 % (based on Formula II as set out below), for example from approximately 8 to 12 %.
  • step (e) of the process there is provided a method wherein sweetening agents, flavouring agents, colour agents and/or dyes additionally are added in step (e) of the process.
  • step (d) there is provided a method wherein the heat treatment in step (d) is applied during approximately 1 to 30 hours, for example approximately 10 h, with mixing each quarter of an hour.
  • Guarana may be added to about 16%, or down to about 4%, depending on desired caffeine level (calculations according to formula I and II as set out below). This interval is desirable from a processing paint of view.
  • Guarana may be used both for its caffeine content as well as content of polyphenols, or more specific tannins. This has a health benefit as well as taste enhancement. For an application where health and taste are in focus, the addition may be 16%.
  • Caffeine may be added to about 16% down to 1% depending on desired caffeine level.
  • Caffeine in this interval is desirable from a processing point of view.
  • the effect of caffeine can be regarded as well known.
  • Ginseng may be added with 2%, 5%, 14% or 27% by weight of ginsenosides. Depending on ginseng quality the additions of ginseng differ considerably. All the stated ginsenoside concentrations can be used. Starting from the lowest concentration (2% ginsenosides) from about 3 to about 9% is the desired range (calculated in accordance with formula I and II as set out below). Far higher concentration of ginsenosides, the amount of ginseng may be reduced. The addition of highly concentrated ginseng (27%) may be in the range of from about 0.2 to about 0.8% (calculated in accordance with formula I and II as set out below).
