Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a nicotine-free tobacco substitute on a plant basis and a tobacco substitute which can be obtained by the method according to the invention and is particularly suitable for use in hookahs or cigarettes.
- Nicotine is a addictive drug that often forces consumers to smoke for years. Because of the nicotine drug, many smokers are unable to give up smoking or to keep it to a minimum, since nicotine causes withdrawal symptoms that lead to a renewed desire to smoke. There are numerous aids designed to make it easier for smokers to quit smoking. One of the best known is the nicotine patch, which, however, contains the poison nicotine and whose use is not always successful.
- German patent DE 844 250 B it is known, for example, to use as a tobacco substitute for the manufacture of wrappings of all kinds for tobacco products a plant material which is suitable for smoking and from which the water-soluble ingredients are removed after fermentation and then after grinding is processed into foils to a suitable degree of suspension on the paper machine.
- Foreign cellulose can be added to the plant to increase the mechanical strength.
- Combustion agents such as potassium permanganate or pyrophoric substances such as iron or aluminum are added to combustion.
- the French patent FR 884 284 A describes the production of foils or sheets by known methods of the paper industry, which can be used finely cut, inter alia, as a tobacco-like product for cigarettes.
- Maize leaves, alfa grass and rice straw are used as substrates for these foils in the usual grinding.
- Dyes and combustion-promoting substances such as ammonium nitrate are incorporated in order to achieve the desired coloring and to promote combustion.
- Aluminum and / or magnesium salts can also be added if too little ash is formed.
- British patent specification GB 432 863 A describes a tobacco substitute based on a fiber material as a carrier material, the properties of which should come as close as possible to natural tobacco.
- the appropriate substances such as flavoring agents and substances that are to ensure normal combustion of the product, are incorporated into the film of the fiber material.
- Cellulose is suitable as the fiber material.
- Tobacco extract is preferably used for flavoring.
- a tobacco exchange material made from undigested short and digested long bagasse fibers is known from US Pat. No. 257,602 1A, a mixture ratio of 25% by weight short and 75% by weight long fibers being described as being preferred. This mixture ratio should lead to a burning characteristic that corresponds to that of tobacco.
- DE 10 2009 060449A1 shows a process for producing a plant-based nicotine-free tobacco substitute, glycerol being mixed with glucose syrup and a mixture of dried plant constituents being moistened with the mixture.
- the tobacco substitute described consists of 25% glycerin, 35% sugar, 3% water, 2% aromas and 35% thermally treated fruit bowls or vegetable peels and berries.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a tobacco substitute which is free from nicotine and which enables a smoking experience comparable to that of natural tobacco.
- the present invention thus relates to a process for producing a nicotine-free tobacco substitute on a plant basis, which is characterized in that
- Glycerol is preferably mixed with 5% by weight to 20% by weight, in particular 10% by weight to 15% by weight, particularly preferably 11% by weight to 13% by weight, of glucose syrup, based on the total amount of the mixture.
- a higher glucose content leads to stronger smoke, a lower one to less smoke.
- Another object of the present invention is a nicotine-free tobacco substitute which can be obtained by the production process according to the invention.
- the nicotine-free tobacco substitute according to the invention advantageously exhibits a burning behavior very similar to that of tobacco.
- the smoke can hardly be distinguished from the conventional tobacco in terms of taste, but does not contain any addictive nicotine.
- the nicotine-free tobacco substitute according to the invention can in principle be used in any form of smoking article, for example in cigarettes or pipes, but is particularly suitable for use in hookahs and cigarettes.
- Conventional hookah tobacco or tobacco substitutes often contain flavors that give smoke or steam a specific taste.
- Cigarette tobacco or tobacco substitutes used in cigarettes can also be flavored.
- consumers wish that the visual impression of the tobacco or tobacco substitute corresponds to that which they associate with the origin of the respective aroma.
- a water pipe tobacco or substitute with the aroma "light grape” should not be colored dark and one with the aroma "blueberry” should not be light in color.
- food colors or other pigments are often used in the manufacture of tobacco, but especially in the manufacture of hookah tobacco, which additionally increase the health burden caused by smoking.
- the respective aromas develop particularly intensively and sustainably when smoking, if the tobacco substitute was produced taking into account the temperature ranges mentioned.
- the tobacco substitute takes on a color corresponding to the desired aroma without the addition of food colors or other pigments if the tobacco substitute is produced in compliance with the temperature ranges mentioned, as a result of which consumer acceptance is significantly increased.
- a tobacco substitute can be soaked in minutes with a humectant and, if desired, aromas. It is therefore ready for sale in a short time.
- Cold humectant (with or without Aroma), on the other hand, takes days to get enough into the tobacco substitute.
- the temperature in the manufacture of the tobacco substitute depends on the desired color (20 to 25 ° C for light tobacco substitute, 50 to 55 ° C for tobacco substitute of medium brightness, 65 to 70 ° C for dark tobacco substitute) ,
- a hot heating medium usually coal.
- the water pipe shisha
- the tobacco is not burned in hookahs, but only smoldered by the glowing coal.
- the steam flowing out is passed through a water bath, cooled and cleaned, and smoked through a hose outlet.
- the hookah typically consists of an essentially vertical column of smoke, on the top of which a head is placed, which receives both the heating medium (the hot coals) and the hookah tobacco or tobacco substitute to be smoked.
- the lower end of the column of smoke extends into a container that is partially filled with water. Above the water level of this container is the one leading to a mouthpiece for the user
- the flavors are preferably added to the heated mixture in a concentration of 0.5% by weight to 10% by weight, in particular 1% by weight to 7.5% by weight, particularly preferably 2% by weight to 5% by weight on the total amount of the mixture.
- fresh (not dried) plant components in particular fresh fruit, particularly preferably fresh grapes, apples, barberries (Berberis vulgaris) or citrus fruits can also be added to the tobacco substitute according to the invention.
- Another optional component of the tobacco substitute according to the invention is molasses or another sugar-containing syrup, in particular grape syrup.
- Molasses is a honey-like dark brown sugar syrup that is produced as a by-product in sugar production from sugar cane, sugar beet and also from millet. In addition to about 60 percent sugar (sucrose or raffinose), molasses also contains organic acids, betaine, vitamins and about three percent inorganic salts. According to the invention, any commercially available molasses can be used.
- Raisins are dried grapes with a residual moisture content of around 15 to 18% and a fructose content of around 33%. According to the invention, all commercially available types of raisins are suitable.
- the tobacco substitute according to the invention preferably contains 5 to 35% by weight, in particular 10 to 27.5% by weight, of raisins.
- leaves of the salbaum can be used instead of raisins or in combination with raisins. These are preferably strongly heated for 2 to 4 minutes, in particular in a microwave, and then comminuted, for example in a beater knife mill.
- the shredded leaves are particularly suitable for use in the process according to the invention, since they absorb the humectant and, if appropriate, the aromas very well and, above all, only burn off slowly, thereby avoiding one of the essential disadvantages of the prior art.
- Straw is a collective term for threshed and dry stalks and leaves of cereals, oil plants, fiber plants or legumes. Any commercially available straw can be used in the context of the present invention.
- the tobacco substitute according to the invention preferably contains 0.5 to 3% by weight, in particular 1 to 1.5% by weight, of straw.
- Dried berries of the genus Vaccinium preferably the large-fruity cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon), also known under the English name Cranberry and equally preferred the blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), also regionally called blueberry.
- Vaccinium macrocarpon large-fruity cranberry
- Cranberry also known under the English name Cranberry
- blueberry Vaccinium myrtillus
- Dried citrus fruits preferably mandarins, clementines, satsumas, oranges, bitter orange, bergamot, grapefruit, grapefruit, lime, lemon or kumquat.
- Dried nuts from rose species preferably the dog rose (Rosa canina), particularly preferably dried rose hips.
- the tobacco substitute according to the invention preferably contains 25 to 75% by weight, in particular 30 to 66% by weight, of further dried plant components.
- the tobacco substitute according to the invention contains glycerin as a humectant, if desired also a combination of several different humectants, in order to avoid excessive drying out.
- the moisturizing agents commonly used in cigarette manufacture eg. B. sorbitol or other polyhydric alcohols, for example 1,2-propylene glycol.
- the tobacco substitute according to the invention preferably contains 15 to 30% by weight, in particular 20 to 25% by weight, of humectant.
- the moisture content of the tobacco substitute according to the invention can be in the range from about 5 to 50% and is preferably 20 to 40%, particularly preferably about 30%, for the preferred use according to the invention in hookahs. For sales purposes, in particular to meet the requirements of the German Tobacco Ordinance, it is equally preferred to limit the moisture content of the tobacco substitute according to the invention to 5%.
- Nicotine-free tobacco substitutes according to the invention were produced in different flavors.
- the vegetable starting materials were comminuted in a kitchen machine and, in Examples 1 to 8, mixed with a heated mixture of glycerol and glucose syrup which was flavored according to the desired aroma.
- Example 9 a heated blend of glycerin and glucose syrup with no flavor was used.
