Definitions
- the present invention relates to a tobacco masterbatch for a non-combustion-type flavor inhaler and to a tobacco material containing the tobacco masterbatch.
- PTL Patent Literature 1 1
- smoking flavor comparable to conventional combustion-type flavor inhalers is required for such non-combustion-type flavor inhalers.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a tobacco masterbatch for a non-combustion-type flavor inhaler excellent in smoking flavor and a tobacco material containing the tobacco masterbatch.
- the present inventors have found that the above-mentioned object can be attained by leaf tobacco containing specific amounts of a carboxylic acid and nicotine. In other words, the above-mentioned object is attained by the present invention below.
- the present invention it is possible to provide a tobacco masterbatch for a non-combustion-type flavor inhaler excellent in smoking flavor and a tobacco material containing the tobacco masterbatch.
- a tobacco masterbatch is a flavor generating material that contains a relatively high concentration of flavor component and that is used by mixing with one or more other materials to dilute the component.
- a tobacco masterbatch of the present invention contains, by bone dry weight in the tobacco masterbatch, 80 to 130 mg/g of a carboxylic acid as a component (A) and 6.5 to 10 weight% of nicotine as a component (B).
- a carboxylic acid as the component (A) provides to a user a mild taste while retaining smoking flavor. Meanwhile, an excessive amount of the component (A) results in an unpleasant taste.
- the upper limit of the component (A) is preferably 120 mg/g or less and more preferably 110 mg/g or less, and the lower limit is preferably 95 mg/g or more and more preferably 100 mg/g or more.
- Exemplary carboxylic acids include citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, and combinations thereof.
- the carboxylic acid as the component (A) does not include an amino acid.
- a tobacco masterbatch of the present invention is generally used as a tobacco material after mixing with one or more other materials, and hence the amount of nicotine of the tobacco material is smaller during use.
- a tobacco material provides excellent smoking flavor compared with leaf tobacco containing the same amount of nicotine. The reason is unclear but is presumably due to uneven distribution of nicotine in the tobacco material or so-called masterbatch effect.
- the amount of the component (B) is thus adjusted appropriately according to the concentration after dilution, and the upper limit is preferably 9 weight% or less, and the lower limit is preferably 8 weight% or more.
- a tobacco masterbatch of the present invention may further contain 20 to 40 mg/g of an amino acid as a component (C).
- An amino acid primarily provides a sweet taste to a user.
- the upper limit of the component (C) is preferably 35 mg/g or less, and the lower limit is preferably 25 mg/g or more.
- Exemplary amino acids include alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, proline, serine, and combinations thereof.
- the contents of the above-mentioned components based on bone dry weight can be calculated, for example, from the moisture content of a masterbatch and the amounts of the components obtained through analysis or can be determined directly by analyzing a masterbatch in the bone dry state.
- the former method is preferable.
- such a method for the component (B) can be carried out as follows.
- a tobacco masterbatch of the present invention can be prepared by mixing the respective components provided.
- a material e.g., conventional leaf tobacco
- leaf tobacco having the above-described component contents can be used as a tobacco masterbatch without further processing.
- Such leaf tobacco can be grown by a method of, for example, applying a fertilizer in a particular period such that the amount of nitrogen reaches a specific level, harvesting and removing unwanted leaves early, or making the period from topping to harvesting longer than usual.
- leaf tobacco having the above-described component contents can be grown by applying a fertilizer around the time of topping such that the amount of nitrogen reaches a specific level, performing topping one to two leaves deeper than typical positions to harvest and remove unwanted leaves early, and extending the period from topping to harvesting for one to two weeks longer than usual.
- leaf tobacco that has been grown by known techniques and that is higher in the contents of the components (A), (B), and (C) than other leaf tobacco may also be used.
- a tobacco material of the present invention is obtained by mixing the above-mentioned tobacco masterbatch with one or more other materials.
- Such other materials are not limited provided that the component (A) or (B) is contained in an amount less than the tobacco masterbatch but are preferably materials containing the component (B) in an amount less than the tobacco masterbatch.
- Exemplary such materials include tobacco shreds, tobacco dust, tobacco veins, tobacco stems, tobacco sheets, cellulose, and other fillers commonly used in the field concerned. These materials are used alone or in combination.
- the mixing ratio of a tobacco masterbatch and other materials is not limited, but the lower limit of the tobacco masterbatch concentration in a tobacco material is preferably 5 weight% or more, more preferably 8 weight% or more, and further preferably 10 weight% or more. Meanwhile, the preferable upper limit is 80 weight% or less, 65 weight% or less, 50 weight% or less, 40 weight% or less, 30 weight% or less, or 20 weight% or less.
- Various leaf tobacco may be used as other materials, and examples include flue-cured, burley, oriental, domestic, regardless of Nicotiana tabacum varieties or Nicotiana rustica varieties, and mixtures thereof. For such mixtures, the above-mentioned varieties may be used by blending as appropriate for an intended taste.
- the details of the varieties of tobacco are disclosed in " Tobacco no Jiten (Encyclopedia of Tobacco), Tobacco Academic Studies Center, March 31, 2009 .”
- a tobacco material may generate vapor or an aerosol upon heating.
- the heating temperature is not limited but is about 30°C to 350°C.
- a polyol such as glycerol, propylene glycol, or 1,3-butanediol
- the amount of an aerosol source to be added is preferably 5 to 50 weight% and more preferably 10 to 30 weight% relative to the dry weight of a tobacco material.
- a tobacco material may be a material that comes into contact with vapor or an aerosol generated upstream thereof (direction opposite to the mouth end) and thus can impart flavor components, such as components (A) and (B), to the vapor and so forth.
- the shape of a tobacco material is not limited, and examples include granules of 0.3 to 1.2 mm in average particle size, shreds of 0.8 to 1.2 mm in width, sheets, and such sheets cut into the width of 0.8 to 1.2 mm.
- a tobacco material of the present invention produces excellent smoking flavor as well as exhibits excellent delivery characteristics or uniform delivery from the start to the end of use. The reason is not limited but is presumably due to so-called masterbatch effect in which tobacco masterbatch components (A) to (C) are unevenly distributed and present in a tobacco material.
- Tobacco material granules are granules containing a tobacco masterbatch and one or more other materials. Such granules produce smoking flavor similar to conventional combustion-type flavor inhalers and thus can improve inhalation sensation.
- Such blends are prepared by mixing individually provided granules. By selecting the blending ratio or the types of other granules, it is possible to adjust the strength of smoking flavor, to impart different smoking flavor characteristics, or to adjust the amount of an aerosol to be generated.
- a tobacco material sheet is a sheet containing a tobacco masterbatch and one or more other materials.
- the sheet produces smoking flavor similar to conventional combustion-type flavor inhalers and thus can improve inhalation sensation.
- Such blends are prepared by mixing individually provided sheets. By selecting the blending ratio and/or the types of other sheets, it is possible to adjust the strength of smoking flavor, to impart different smoking flavor characteristics, or to adjust the amount of an aerosol to be generated.
- Shreds of a tobacco masterbatch provide intense inhalation sensation.
- tobacco masterbatch shreds may be blended with shreds containing no tobacco masterbatch.
- Tobacco materials added with tobacco dust are tobacco materials prepared by finely pulverizing a tobacco masterbatch into the size of 30 ⁇ m or less, suspending the resulting dust in a dispersion medium (water or glycerol), and spraying the resulting slurry on sheets or shreds containing no tobacco masterbatch.
- a dispersion medium water or glycerol
- Such tobacco materials can adjust the strength of smoking flavor or impart different smoking flavor characteristics.
- a tobacco masterbatch and a tobacco material of the present invention are useful as flavor sources for a non-combustion-type flavor inhaler.

- a fertilizer was applied at 6 to 15 kg/10 a as the amount of nitrogen during the period between one week before and after topping.
- the topping was carried out one to two leaves deeper than typical positions to harvest and remove unwanted leaves as leaf tobacco for a masterbatch. Subsequently, leaves were harvested after extending the period from topping to harvesting for one to two weeks longer than usual. The harvested leaves were air-cured to yield leaf tobacco for a masterbatch.
- the leaf tobacco was analyzed under the following conditions to determine the contents of the respective components.
- the leaf tobacco of 1 g was added with 20 mL of distilled water and subjected to extraction by shaking for 20 minutes. After extraction, centrifugation (3 minutes, 3200 rpm) was performed. The resulting supernatant was introduced into a high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) to quantify the amount of a carboxylic acid in the leaf tobacco. From this value and the moisture content, the content of a carboxylic acid component in the leaf tobacco based on dry weight was determined by the same method as in the foregoing.
- HPLC high performance liquid chromatograph
- the leaf tobacco of 0.2 g was added with 20 mL of 80% methanol aqueous solution and subjected to extraction through ultrasonic vibrations for 30 minutes.
