Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a flavoring molded body, a method for producing the flavoring molded body, a method for producing a tobacco material, and a method for producing a tobacco product.
  • Examples of methods for imparting a flavor to a tobacco product in a uniform manner include a method for adding a flavoring agent which is disclosed in PTL 1, which includes suspending particles of leaf tobacco in a dispersion medium and adding the resulting dispersion liquid to raw leaf tobacco by spraying or the like.
  • Examples of tobacco products include the tobacco tablets for oral use which are disclosed in PTLs 2 and 3.
  • a binder is commonly used for molding tobacco tablets for oral use.
  • PTL 4 discloses a technique in which shredded tobacco having a shred width of 0.6 to 1 mm is caused to age in an air atmosphere under hermetically sealed conditions and a polyol is added to the aged shredded tobacco, in order to produce a tobacco material in which the compositions of an enhanced ester fragrance component and a component that contributes to inhaling flavor are unlikely to change with time.
  • the binder used for molding the tobacco tablets for oral use enhances the moldability (i.e., strength) of the tablets, but may degrade the flavor of the tablets. Accordingly, the development of a flavoring molded body that has a sufficiently high strength and a suitable flavor has been anticipated.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a flavoring molded body which can be readily stored and transported, from which a flavor component is unlikely to volatilize during storage and transportation, and which has a sufficiently high strength and a suitable flavor, and a tobacco material and a tobacco product produced using the flavoring molded body.
  • the present invention includes the following aspects.
  • a flavoring molded body which can be readily stored and transported, from which a flavor component is unlikely to volatilize during storage and transportation, and which has a sufficiently high strength and a suitable flavor, and a tobacco material and a tobacco product produced using the flavoring molded body can be provided.

  • a tobacco raw material powder having an average particle size of 100 ⁇ m or less is mixed with an alcohol having 2 to 7 carbon atoms, and the resulting mixture is molded by compression molding.
  • This enables the production of a flavoring molded body having a sufficiently high strength.
  • a flavoring molded body having a sufficiently high strength can be produced because the addition of an alcohol having 2 to 7 carbon atoms to a tobacco raw material powder causes a resin composition derived from the tobacco raw material powder to migrate toward the surfaces of particles of the tobacco raw material powder and the particles of the tobacco raw material powder are bonded to one another with the resin composition.
  • a flavoring molded body having a sufficiently high strength can be produced because a part of the hydroxyl groups of cellulose molecules included in the tobacco raw material powder are lost due to dehydration and the cellulose molecules condensate with one another in the vicinity thereof.
  • Using the flavoring molded body produced by the method according to this embodiment as a flavoring agent raw material in the above-described method for adding a flavoring agent increases ease of storage and transportation and reduces the volatilization of a flavor component during storage and transportation.
  • the flavoring molded body according to this embodiment can be easily disintegrated in a dispersion medium, it becomes possible to prepare a suspension of a tobacco raw material powder in an easy and simple manner.

  • Forming a fine leaf tobacco powder into a flavoring molded body as described above increases ease of storage and transportation and reduces the volatilization of a flavor component during storage and transportation.
  • a flavoring molded body produced by the above-described method does not produce a flavor other than that derived from tobacco and therefore can be readily used in the reuse step.
  • the method according to this embodiment may include a step other than the alcohol mixing step, the compression molding step, or the alcohol removal step.
  • the alcohol removal step may be conducted at any timing subsequent to the alcohol mixing step, that is, may be conducted in the compression molding step or subsequent to the compression molding step.
  • a tobacco raw material powder having an average particle size of 100 ⁇ m or less is mixed with an alcohol having 2 to 7 carbon atoms to form a mixture.
