Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing an oral tobacco material, and an oral tobacco material. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for producing an oral tobacco material having a reduced content of tobacco-specific nitrosamine, and an oral tobacco material obtained by that production method.
- the oral tobacco product contains an oral tobacco material such as powdered tobacco in a water-permeable pouch. People insert such an oral tobacco product between a lip and a gum in a mouth, and enjoy the taste and flavor of the powdered tobacco (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- the oral tobacco material used in such an oral tobacco product contains various components such as nicotine, nitrosamines (including tobacco-specific nitrosamine), hydrocarbons, and proteins, similar to a general tobacco material for a cigarette.
- these components there are some components which desirably are not removed or are increased in terms of smoking taste or other reasons; whereas, there are also some components whose amounts are desirably decreased. It is desired to decrease the amount of the tobacco-specific nitrosamine.
- Patent Document 1 U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2007/062549 US-A-2011048434 discloses a thermal treatment process for tobacco materials.
- the tobacco materials are smokeless tobacco.
- the thermal treatment is carried out at a temperature of above 80°C and preferably below 140°C and the pH is maintained below 8 during the heat treatment.
- Additives are incorporated to the tobacco material before the heat treatment and include acidic compounds, citric acid, malic acid, glutaric acid, dicarboxylic acids, and the combination thereof.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing an oral tobacco material having a reduced content of tobacco-specific nitrosamine (TSNA).
- TSNA tobacco-specific nitrosamine
- an oral tobacco material which is obtained by the method for producing an oral tobacco material according to the present invention.
- the oral tobacco material produced according to the present invention shows a significantly reduced TSNA content.
- a dry oral tobacco material having a pH of 8 or less is used as a raw material.
- a dry oral tobacco material having a pH of 4 or more is usually used as the raw material.
- the pH of a dry tobacco material refers to a value obtained by adding 20 to 100 g of distilled water (corresponding to 10 times the amount of the tobacco material) to 2 to 10 g of the tobacco material; shaking the mixture of the water and the tobacco material at 200 rpm at room temperature for 10 minutes; allowing the resulting mixture to stand for 5 minutes; and then measuring the pH of an extract obtained therefrom with a pH meter (IQ 240 manufactured by IQ Scientific Instruments Inc.).
- the tobacco raw material includes a dry oral tobacco material which originally has a pH of 8 or less, and a material obtained by adding an acidic substance to a dry oral tobacco material having a pH of more than 8 to adjust the pH to 8 or less.
- the former, the dry oral tobacco material which originally has a pH of 8 or less may include flue-cured tobacco, burley tobacco, dark air-cured tobacco, dark fire-cured tobacco, air-cured tobacco by early-dehydrating, sun-cured tobacco, oriental tobacco, and the like.
- the dry oral tobacco material having a pH of more than 8 may include a part of burley tobacco, dark air-cured tobacco, air-cured tobacco, and the like.
- an organic acid such as citric acid, ascorbic acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, or succinic acid may be used.
- a dry oral tobacco material exhibiting acidity i.e., a pH of less than 7 (for example, flue-cured tobacco, burley tobacco, dark air-cured tobacco, dark fire-cured tobacco, air-cured tobacco by early-dehydrating, sun-cured tobacco or oriental tobacco) may also be used, instead of the organic acid.
- the dry oral tobacco material exhibiting acidity is used as the acidic substance, the amount thereof is preferably 100% by weight or less with respect to the raw material.
- TSNA typically includes N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN), 4-(methylnitrosoamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) and N'-nitrosoanatabine (NAT).
- NNN N'-nitrosonornicotine
- NNK 4-(methylnitrosoamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone
- NAT N'-nitrosoanatabine
- the antioxidant includes epigallocatechin gallate, ascorbic acid, green tea extract. Ascorbic acid is also the acidic substance for adjusting the pH, as described above; and it may be used as the antioxidant in combination with another acidic substance, or may be used alone to serve both as the antioxidant and the acidic substance.
- the antioxidant is added preferably in an amount of 1 to 100 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the tobacco raw material.
- the tobacco raw material to which the antioxidant has been added is heated at a temperature of 80°C or higher.
- the heating temperature is usually 130°C or lower.
- the heating time is usually from 10 minutes to 30 minutes.
- the tobacco raw material is put in a closed heating container (such as a cylindrical one) having a jacket at the outer side thereof and equipped with an introduction pipe and an exhaust pipe of heated steam, and heated steam is directly blown into the tobacco raw material through the introduction pipe, while the heated steam is circulated in the jacket, whereby the tobacco material can be heated at the same temperature as that of the heated steam.
- a closed heating container such as a cylindrical one
- heated steam is directly blown into the tobacco raw material through the introduction pipe, while the heated steam is circulated in the jacket, whereby the tobacco material can be heated at the same temperature as that of the heated steam.
- Nitrite salts contained in the tobacco raw material become unstable when the tobacco raw material has a pH of 8 or less, and the nitrite salts can be decomposed and released as NO x gas by heating the tobacco raw material at 80°C or higher. Therefore, according to the method of the present invention, the amount of TSNA contained in the tobacco raw material can be decreased and the amount of the nitrate salt can also be decreased.
- Nitrous acid contained in a sample is reacted with an aromatic primary amine (sulfanilamide) to form a diazonium salt.
- An azo coupling reaction of the diazonium salt is caused with N-(1-naphthyl)-ehtylenediamine (NED) to form a purplish red azo compound.
- a concentration of nitrite nitrogen (N) in the sample is measured by measurement of an absorbance (540 nm) of the colored part, and the obtained concentration is converted into a concentration of nitrous acid.
- Example No. pH of tobacco material Acidic substance Antioxidant pH after adjustment Nitrous acid content after heat treatment ( ⁇ g/g) (dry basis) TSNA content after heat treatment ( ⁇ g/g) (dry basis)
- Example 1 8.3 Citric acid Epigallocatechin gallate 6.1 0.2 2.3
- Example 2 8.3 Citric acid Green tea extract 6.3 0.5 2.5
- Example 3 8.3 Citric acid Ascorbic acid 5.6 1.6 2.0 Comparative example 1 8.3 Citric acid None 6.5 3.8 5.1 Comparative example 2 8.3 None None 8.3 180.2 3.6
- the TSNA content in the tobacco raw material can be remarkably decreased.
