Description

The present invention comprises a composition constituting a stick-type heated fragrance generator containing an aerosol former that generates an aerosol by heat transmitted by an electric heat source instead of a flame, and a stick-type heated fragrance using the composition. The present invention relates to a generator and a smoking cartridge using the stick-type heated aerosol generator.

In particular, the "flavor", which is a scent that is felt throughout the oral cavity when the heated aroma generator is heated and inhaled with an aerosol, does not contain any of the solanaceous tobacco genus tobacco and its similar plants, and its components, is strong. Provided are a composition constituting a stick-type heated fragrance generator, a stick-type heated fragrance generator using the composition, and a smoking cartridge using the stick-type heated fragrance generator. is there.

More specifically, the present invention is a stick-type heated aroma generator composition containing a specific part of angiosperms containing a large amount of aroma components having an effect of helping to comfort the mind and body, health and beauty by smoking. The present invention relates to a product, a stick-type heated aroma generator using the composition thereof, and a smoking cartridge using the stick-type heated aroma generator.

In recent years, as smoking separation and smoking cessation have become widespread in spaces where people gather, such as workplaces and restaurants, the number of smoking enthusiasts who smoke flame-burned cigarettes, such as cigarettes, has decreased. On the other hand, the number of smoking enthusiasts who use electronic cigarettes, which are heated smoking tools that suck smoke and steam generated by heat transmitted by heat sources such as heaters, is rapidly increasing. This is due to the fact that according to conventional flame smoking, smokers and non-smokers around them inhale harmful substances produced by the thermal decomposition and burning of tobacco leaves and paper, whereas electronic cigarettes According to this, smokers can inhale harmless smoke and steam made from a non-tobacco composition, which is not caused by thermal decomposition and burning of tobacco leaves, and can enjoy smoking, and non-smokers around them. This is because the influence on the smoking can be reduced.

There are two types of such electronic cigarettes (Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2). One is a capsule-type electronic cigarette and a stick-type electronic cigarette that heat a capsule or stick containing tobacco leaves to suck smoke or the like. The other is a liquid electronic cigarette that absorbs the vapor generated by heating a scented or flavored liquid.

In particular, stick-type electronic cigarettes have a high degree of similarity to conventional cigarettes in terms of form, smoking method, taste, etc., and because the amount of harmful substances such as cigarettes sucked is small, many enthusiasts. Various developments have been carried out (for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3). Specifically, a stick equipped with a mouthpiece is heated on an aerosol forming body that is processed into a stick like a cigarette with an aerosol former that generates an aerosol that becomes smoke together with a tobacco component, a fragrance, a binder, and the like. It is an electronic cigarette that is attached to a smoking device and smoked. The mechanism of smoking is that when the aerosol-forming body is attached and heated so as to come into contact with the heat source of the heating type smoking equipment, the aerosol-forming body releases volatile substances including the aerosol former, and at the same time, this volatile substance is released. , Smoker's suction sucks into the mouthpiece side of the other end together with air, and in this volatile transport process, the aerosol former volatiles cool and condense to form a smoke-like aerosol and other The volatiles give aroma to the smoker's mouth and nose, and as a result, the smoker can enjoy smoking (Patent Document 2). According to this mechanism, in the case of heat-not-burn smoking such as stick-type electronic cigarette, the aerosol former such as glycerin or propylene glycol contained in the aerosol forming body can be volatilized at about 200 to 250 ° C., that is, tobacco leaf. You can smoke at a temperature at which the thermal decomposition of the cigarette begins. Therefore, compared to the case of flame-type smoking, which burns at least 600 ° C required for combustion, and more than 900 ° C when smoking, harmful substances that are said to be generated more as the temperature rises. The outbreak is suppressed and there is little adverse effect on health.

Unlike stick-type e-cigarettes, liquid-type e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco components, and beverages such as coffee, cola and red bull, desserts such as chocolate, vanilla and cream, and fruits such as oranges, lemons and melons. , Mensole, mint, refreshing agents such as herbs, etc., is a new smoking tool that allows you to enjoy various tastes (Non-Patent Document 2). Specifically, it is an electronic cigarette that heats a liquid obtained by mixing a fragrance with propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin and sucks the evaporated volatile matter. It does not contain any harmful substances, does not generate tar or nicotine, and has the greatest feature of being able to enjoy a wide variety of flavors. In fact, a wide variety of liquids are on sale.

Based on these two electronic cigarettes, an electronic cigarette that combines the characteristics of both has been developed (Patent Document 4). As mentioned above, since the aerosol-forming body processed into a heated stick of the conventional stick-type electronic cigarette contained a tobacco component, harmful substances were generated, and tar and nicotine were also generated, albeit in a small amount. Was there. Therefore, Patent Document 4 invents a stick-type electronic cigarette that does not contain a tobacco component, which has been a problem of stick-type electronic cigarettes. That is, instead of the tobacco component, a stick-type electron that uses a non-tobacco plant that produces only aroma that has the effect of improving the mind and body, health and beauty of smoking, and contains an aerosol former, fragrance, binder, etc. It is a cigarette.

However, unlike the liquid type electronic cigarette, the stick type electronic cigarette using this non-tobacco plant must be processed into a stick shape and the composition must be fixed without falling off. However, a material containing a large amount of aroma components, which gives a strong "flavor", which is the scent felt in the entire oral cavity when the aerosol formed by volatilizing with the aerosol former is inhaled, generally has a small amount of fiber, so that it may stick. It was difficult, and it was difficult to make the whole oral cavity feel a strong taste and a refreshing feeling like a liquid type electronic cigarette. Along with that, we had to limit the types of flavors.

The problem peculiar to the stick-shaped aerosol former forming body is also recognized for the stick-type electronic cigarette containing the conventional tobacco component. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a tobacco sheet for an aerosol-forming body containing at least an aerosol former, a fragrance, a binder, and a tobacco material, the tobacco sheet containing tobacco produced during tobacco processing. Leaf pieces, tobacco stems, tobacco dust, and / or major leaf blade pieces of tobacco leaves are used as tobacco materials and contain at least 50% by weight or more. Further, Patent Document 2 describes an aerosol-generating substrate composed of an aerosol former, a fragrance, a binder, and an elongated strand containing at least a tobacco material, and the strand contains at least 75% by weight or more of tobacco. The material is included.

In this way, since the stick-type electronic cigarette must be processed into a stick-shaped aerosol former forming body, it is a fragrance that is felt in the entire oral cavity when the aerosol formed by volatilizing together with the aerosol former is sucked. Because it is not possible to mix a large amount of materials and fragrances that make you feel the aroma component, the aroma component generated by heating tobacco leaves or non-tobacco plants and the material that contains a lot of aroma components that make you feel "flavor" There is an inherent problem of inhaling a "flavor" in which the aroma component of the fragrance is mixed in a complicated manner.

Unlike liquid e-cigarettes, stick-type e-cigarettes must be formed by processing an aerosol-forming body into a stick shape so that the formulation does not fall off and sticks to it, but it is volatilized together with the aerosol former. A material containing a large amount of aroma components, which gives a strong "flavor" that is felt throughout the oral cavity when an aerosol is inhaled, is generally low in fibrous material and therefore difficult to adhere to, and is difficult to adhere to tobacco leaves or non-cigarette leaves. It was necessary to add tobacco plants and the like to fix them. Therefore, a "flavor" is a complex mixture of the aroma component generated by heating tobacco leaves or non-tobacco plants and the aroma component of a material or fragrance that contains a large amount of aroma component that makes the "flavor" feel. There is a problem that it will be inhaled, and it is difficult to make the strong taste and refreshing feeling like liquid type electronic cigarettes felt in the entire oral cavity. Along with that, we had to limit the types of flavors.

The present invention solves such a problem and forms a stick-type heated aroma generator that does not contain any tobacco belonging to the Solanaceae family, plants belonging to the same genus, and its components, and has a strong "flavor". It is an object of the present invention to provide a composition for use, a stick-type heated aroma generator using the composition, and a smoking cartridge using the stick-type heated aroma generator.

As a result of investigating the aroma components contained in each part of a wide variety of angiosperms, the present inventor has found a material containing a large amount of aroma components that is effective in improving the mind and body, health and beauty of smoking. An adsorbent for retaining a composition containing an aroma component constituting this material and a heated aroma generator composition containing a material containing a large amount of this aroma component as a main component are processed into a stick-shaped heated aroma generator. We have found a holding material to be fixed in order to obtain it, and have completed the present invention.

That is, the present invention is a composition for forming a stick-type heated fragrance generator containing an aerosol former that generates an aerosol by heat transferred by a heat source, and is a composition for forming an aerosol former and a stick-type heated fragrance generator. Stick type containing a material containing an aroma component that emits a flavor that is a scent that drifts in the mouth when the body is heated and inhaled with an aerosol, and an adsorbent that retains a liquid component containing the aroma component of the material containing this aroma component. It is an aerosol composition to be heated.

As such an adsorbent, crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) or silica powder is preferable. In addition, chitosan, chitosan derivative activated carbon, aluminum oxide, activated clay, zeolite and the like are also preferably used. As the crosslinked PVP, commercially available products such as Daibagan (registered trademark) manufactured by BASF European Company and Polyclar (registered trademark) VT manufactured by ISP Co., Ltd. can be used as they are. On the other hand, silica powder is composed of spherical silica particles having a primary particle diameter on the order of several tens of nm, which is typified by fumed silica used mainly for improving the rheological properties of inks and paints, and anti-inks and paints. It can be widely used up to spherical silica particles having a primary particle diameter of several μm, which are used as blocking agents, matting agents, reinforcing agents such as paints and rubbers. However, the adsorbent of the present invention is preferably spherical silica particles having a primary particle diameter on the order of submicrons, that is, an average primary particle diameter of 0.1 to 1.0 μm. Examples of such silica powder include P10 (average primary particle size: 0.1 μm) and P30 (average primary particle size:) of KE-S, a high-purity silica spherical fine particle powder Seahoster (registered trademark) manufactured by Nippon Catalyst Co., Ltd. 0.3 μm), P50 (average primary particle size: 0.5 μm), P100 (average primary particle size: 1.0 μm), and functional spherical silica HPS-0500 (average primary particle size) manufactured by Toa Synthetic Co., Ltd. : 0.5 μm) and HPS-1000 (average primary particle size: 1.0 μm), and submicron spherical silicon micropowder HM051-11 (average primary particle size: 0.5 μm) manufactured by Powder Technology Co., Ltd. Can be done. The surface of such silica powder is a hydrophilic surface in which silanol groups are distributed at a high concentration, but silica powder hydrophobized with alkylchlorosilane, alkoxysilane, or the like can also be used. In particular, when the material containing an aroma component contains a large amount of lipophilic component, hydrophobicized silica powder is preferable. Furthermore, the silica powder used in general industrial products such as inks and paints is not a porous silica powder, but when used as a carrier for a catalyst or an adsorbent, it has pores of several nm to several tens of nm. A porous silica powder having an extremely large specific surface area is adopted. Therefore, it is preferable to use the porous silica powder as the silica powder of the present invention. Chitosan, chitosan derivative activated carbon, aluminum oxide, activated clay, zeolite and the like are preferably used in powder form. As the zeolite, both natural zeolite and artificial zeolite can be used, and zeolite processed into a spherical shape, a pellet shape, or a hollow thread shape can also be preferably used.

Such an adsorbent contains a liquid component containing an aroma component contained in a material containing an aroma component, that is, a lipophilic component containing an aroma component and an aroma component in a heated aroma generator produced from the composition of the present invention. The hydrophilic component is retained, and the aroma component having a hydrophilic group such as a hydroxyl group, an ether bond, or an ester bond is temporarily adsorbed and fixed, and the lipophilic component and the hydrophilic component in which the aroma component is dissolved are retained. However, it is thought that the aroma components rapidly volatilize together with the aerosol former when heated during smoking.

The mechanism that performs such a function is not clear, but in the case of crosslinked PVP, the lipophilic part of the network formed by the hydrocarbons forming the main skeleton and the hydrophilic part of pyrrolidone bonded to the side chain are separated. Since it is provided, it is presumed that it functions as a protective colloid capable of emulsifying lipophilic and hydrophilic components. On the other hand, in the case of silica powder, silanol groups distributed at a high concentration on the surface adsorb the hydrophilic component, the lipophilic component becomes a continuous layer, the hydrophilic component becomes a discontinuous layer, and the state is emulsified with a protective colloid. It is considered that the result is similar to that of. Further, it is considered that the porous silica powder is deeply involved in the adsorption ability due to the enormous specific surface area provided with a large amount of fine pores. From this point of view, chitosan and its derivatives are polymer electrolytes having an amino group and are considered to have the same mechanism as crosslinked PVP. In aluminum oxide, a large amount of hydroxyl groups present on the surface bring about the same effect as silica, and in activated clay and zeolite, the adsorption ability due to the huge specific surface area with fine pores has the same effect as porous silica powder. Is thought to bring about.

Cross-linked PVP, silica powder, chitosan, chitosan derivative activated carbon, aluminum oxide, activated clay, zeolite, etc. have important functions as such adsorbents, and aroma components are not generated even when heated. It has the advantage that the aroma component generated from the material containing silica does not adversely affect the flavor felt in the oral cavity.

The material containing the aroma component needs to be contained in an amount of 5 to 50% by mass based on the total mass of the main composition of the stick-type heated aroma generator. If it is less than 5% by mass, the flavor sensed in the oral cavity when the stick-type heated aroma generator produced from the stick-type heated aroma generator composition is heated and sucked is insufficient, and 50% by mass. If it exceeds, the number of fibers of the material containing the aroma component is small, and the amount of the liquid component containing the aroma component is large. Therefore, in the process of molding from the stick-type heated aroma generator composition to the stick-type heated aroma generator, the aroma component There is a problem that the material contained in the material may fall off or break. In addition, there is also a problem that when the stick-type heated aroma generator is heated and sucked, the passage of volatile substances is hindered.

In order to retain the liquid component containing the aroma component contained in the material containing the aroma component thus blended, the mixing ratio of the material containing the aroma component and the adsorbent is 1: 1 to 40: 1 (mass). Ratio) is preferable. When the amount of the adsorbent is less than 40: 1, the liquid component containing the aroma component cannot be sufficiently retained, and the liquid component containing the aroma component is separated, which is a problem from the stick-type heated aroma generator composition. In the process of molding into a stick-type heated aroma generator, there is a problem that the material containing the aroma component falls off or breaks, and when the stick-type heated aroma generator is heated and sucked. , There is a problem of obstructing the passage of volatile substances. On the contrary, when there are more adsorbents than 1: 1, there is a problem that the drying time becomes long because the adsorbents strongly retain water by hydrogen bonds.

Further, when blending the aerosol former that generates smoke as an aerosol and the material and the adsorbent containing the aroma component, the total amount of the aerosol former and the material and the adsorbent containing the aroma component is 2.5: 1 to 1. The compounding ratio of 0.5: 1 (mass ratio) is preferable. At this compounding ratio, when heated and sucked as a stick-type heated aroma generator, it is possible to generate an appropriate amount of smoke similar to that of cigarettes.

Further, it preferably contains 5 to 25% by mass of water based on the total mass of the main composition of the stick-type heated aroma generator. As the water, tap water, boiling water, distilled water, ion-exchanged water and the like can be used, but it is preferably general pure water, which is not limited to the production method. If it is less than 5% by mass, there is a problem that the material containing the aroma component may fall off or break in the step of molding the stick-type heated aroma generator composition into the stick-type heated aroma generator. Occurs. If it exceeds 25% by mass, the viscosity of the stick-type heated aroma generator composition becomes too low, which makes it difficult to mold the stick-type heated aroma generator and causes a problem that the drying time becomes long. ..

As described above, the composition for forming the stick-type heated aroma generator of the present invention contains an aerosol former, a material containing an aroma component that emits a fragrance (flavor) that drifts in the mouth when sucked together with the aerosol, and this aroma. The material containing the component contains at least an adsorbent for retaining the liquid component containing the aroma component, but as the fourth component, an aerosol former, a material containing the aroma component, and a holding material for fixing the adsorbent are added. Is more preferable. Not only can the stick-type heated fragrance generator be produced more stably by this holding material, but also the aerosol former in which the stick-type heated fragrance generator is heated and volatilizes together with the aroma component resists the stick-type heated fragrance generator. You can smoke without having to go through and enjoy the flavor that makes you feel at ease.

That is, the present invention is a composition for forming a stick-type heated aromatic generator containing an aerosol former that generates an aerosol by heat transferred by a heat source, and the aerosol former and the stick-type heated aromatic generator are generated. A material containing an aroma component that emits a scent (flavor) that drifts in the mouth when the body is heated and inhaled with an aerosol, an adsorbent that retains a liquid component containing the aroma component of the material containing this aroma component, an aerosol former, and an aroma. It is more preferable to include a material containing the component and a holding material for fixing the adsorbent.

The holding material is preferably a non-tobacco material containing fibers (cellulose) of 30% by mass or more in dry mass. As described above, the non-tobacco material containing a large amount of fibers has a high ability to fix the aerosol former, the material containing the aroma component, and the adsorbent, and the stick-type heated aroma generator composition to the stick-type cover. In the process of molding into a heated aerosol generator, it is possible to solve the problem that the material containing the aroma component falls off or breaks. Moreover, since there are few components other than fibers, unnecessary aroma components are less likely to volatilize when the stick-type heated aroma generator is heated, and only the aroma of the material containing the aroma components can be tasted as a flavor in the oral cavity. It has the advantage of being able to. The fiber itself is so-called cellulose, and since it is mixed with an aerosol pharma that volatilizes at a decomposition temperature of about 350 ° C. and 200 to 250 ° C., there is almost no volatile component.

Further, it is more preferable to use a non-tobacco plant having a fiber diameter of 10 to 50 μm. This is because the smaller the diameter of the fiber, the higher the ability to fix the aerosol former, the material containing the aroma component, and the adsorbent. However, the lower limit of this fiber is based on the diameter of the fiber of the finest plant, and is not intentionally set.

Non-tobacco plants containing 30% by mass or more of fiber in dry mass include the foliage of plants of the family Poales, the foliage of plants of the family Poales, the foliage of plants of the family Poales, and the plants of the family Poales. Stems and leaves, foliage of plants of the family Poales, foliage of plants of the family Poales, foliage of plants of the family Poales, foliage of plants of the family Poales, foliage of plants of the family Poales, foliage of plants of the family Poales, Poales Poales foliage, Poales foliage, Poales pineapple foliage, mushrooms (cass, folds, stalks, brim, acupoints), cotton, Poales bark, and roses The bark of a plant of the Poales can be mentioned, and each of them may be used alone or may be used by selecting a plurality of them.

Specific examples of plants of Malpighiales, Malpighiales, Malpighiales, Malpighiales, Rosales, Zingiberales, and Asparagales, asparagus, linen, ramie, jute, kenaf, hemp, Manila asparagus , And asparagus family. Specific examples of Poales plants include rice, barley, wheat, sorghum, sorghum, sorghum, corn, millet, sorghum, awa, barley, pearl millet, barley, barley, phonio, macomo, chijimizasa, sorghum, and so on. Examples include esparto, sorghum, teftake, sasa, and bamboo. Specific examples of Poales sedges, Poales Eriocaulaceae, Poales Eriocaulaceae, Poales Bromeliads, and Poales Bromeliads include Papillus, Azenarco, Futoi, Tentsuki, Igusa, Eriocaulaceae, and Gama. Pineapple and the like can be mentioned.

Specific examples of mushrooms include edible matsutake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, naratake mushrooms, beech mushrooms, hatake shimeji mushrooms, honshimeji mushrooms, mukitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, koganetake mushrooms, kabairotsurutake, moegitake mushrooms, kuritake mushrooms, nameko mushrooms, and numerisugitake mushrooms. , Mushroom, Mujinatake, Mureoofusentake, Kawamurafusentake, Murasakia brush mejimodo, Otsugatake, Yamadoritake, Susukeyamadoritake, Murasakiyamadoritake, Karamatsubenihanaiguchi, Russula delica, Chichitake, Hatsutake , Coral mushroom, Suillus bovinus, Mushroom, Arageki jellyfish, Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus ostreatus, Suppontake, Dust bamboo, Kemuritake and the like. Cotton is a fiber obtained from the seeds of cotton, which is a perennial plant belonging to the genus Cotton of the Malvales family Malvales. Specific examples of plants of the Myrtales Thymelaeaceae and Rosales Moraceae include mitsumata, ganpi, and mulberry.

Among the above specific examples, the foliage and bark of non-tobacco plants containing 50% by mass or more of fibers in dry mass other than mushrooms, and cotton are more preferable. However, wood ear mushrooms contain 50% or more of fibers and are preferably used. Further, the foliage and bark of non-tobacco plants other than Lamy having a fiber diameter of 10 to 50 μm, and cotton are even more preferable. In particular, linen, jute, kenaf, hemp, Manila asa, and sisal, rice, barley, wheat, sorghum, barley, lime, sorghum, corn, millet, pearl millet, millet, millet, pearl millet, barley, Japanese millet, Japanese millet, Japanese millet, Japanese millet, Japanese millet, Japanese millet, Japanese millet. The foliage of millet, sorghum, esparto, sorghum, teftake, sorghum, bamboo, papyrus, azenarco, futoi, tentsuki, igusa, hosikusa, gama, and pineapple are preferred.

Even when such a holding material is used, the material containing the aroma component is 5 to 50% by mass of the total mass of the main composition of the stick-type heated aroma generator for the same reason as when the holding material is not used. Must be included. The blending ratio of the material containing the aroma component, the adsorbent, and the holding material is preferably 1: 1: 2 to 40: 1: 5 (mass ratio). As a result of various studies, if the compounding ratio is within this range, the adsorbent cannot sufficiently retain the liquid component containing the aroma component (the liquid component containing the aroma component separates), and the stick type is heated. In the process of molding the aroma generator composition into a stick-type heated aroma generator, there is a problem that the material containing the aroma component falls off or breaks, and the stick-type heated aroma generator is heated. It was found that all the various problems such as the problem of hindering the passage of volatile substances can be solved when sucking. Moreover, it was also confirmed that the aroma component generated by heating the material containing the aroma component does not adversely affect the flavor felt in the oral cavity.

When a holding material is used, the amount of the aerosol former that can be heated and sucked as a stick-type heated aromatic generator to generate an appropriate amount of smoke similar to that of a cigarette is the aerosol former and the aroma component. The blending ratio with the total amount of the material containing the above, the adsorbent, and the holding material is preferably 2: 1 to 0.3: 1 (mass ratio).

Then, the amount of water required to process the stick-type heated fragrance generator from the stick-type heated fragrance generator is the same as in the case where the holding material is not used, the main composition of the stick-type heated fragrance generator. If it is 5 to 25% by mass of the total mass, there is a problem that the material containing the aroma component falls off or breaks, the viscosity of the stick-type heated aroma generator composition becomes too low, and the stick-type cover It does not cause a problem that it becomes difficult to mold the heated aroma generator and a problem that the drying time becomes long.

As described above, in order to produce a stick-type heated aroma generator using a material containing a large amount of aroma components, it is essential to add an adsorbent to the composition for producing the stick-type aroma generator. Further, it is more preferable to add a holding material. This is because, as can be seen from the specific materials containing a large amount of aroma components described below, the material containing a large amount of aroma components contains a large amount of liquid components containing aroma components, and the fibers are too much. It is due to not being included.

As will be described later, in order to produce a stick-type heated aroma generator, a step of crushing a material containing a large amount of aroma components, a step of dispersing the crushed material in water, and further, from the dispersion liquid. There is a step of forming a sheet and the like. In each of these steps, a liquid component containing an aroma component is precipitated from a material containing a large amount of the aroma component. Therefore, if there is no adsorbent for the liquid component, the aroma component and / or the liquid component is separated and the aroma component is separated. Problems in molding processing occur, such as the material containing the above falling off or breaking to form a sheet. Further, even if the stick-type heated aromatic generator is heated and sucked, it may be difficult for the aroma component and the volatile component of the aerosol former to pass through. These are the same regardless of whether the liquid component containing the aroma component is a lipophilic component or a hydrophilic component, but is remarkable when the liquid component is a lipophilic component.

When the holding material is added, the holding material adheres the aerosol former, the material containing the aroma component, and the adsorbent, so that the material containing the aroma component falls off or breaks to form a sheet. The above problem can be solved. In addition, the fibers create an appropriate space, and the volatile components can be easily passed by suction. Moreover, even when the fibers are heated, the aroma components generated from the material containing the aroma components are less likely to adversely affect the flavor felt in the oral cavity.

As described above, as a material containing a large amount of aroma components that are difficult to generate a stick-type heated aroma generator, angiosperm fruit seeds, angiosperm fruit flesh, angiosperm fruit skins, angiosperms Fruits and foliage of herbs can be mentioned, and each can be used alone, or a plurality of them can be selected to adjust the flavor perceived in the oral cavity.

Specifically, as seeds of angiosperm fruits, for example, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, walnuts, almonds, pecan nuts, cashew nuts, pistachio nuts, Brazilian nuts, coffee beans, cacao beans, vanilla beans, nutmegs, cola nuts, etc. Examples thereof include peanuts, dills, cumin, juniper, caraway, celery, cardamon, fennel, phenuglique, parsley, ajowan, and anis seeds.

Even the seeds of the fruits of these angiosperms become more aroma when roasted. Macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, walnuts, almonds, pecan nuts, cashew nuts, pistachio nuts, Brazilian nuts, coffee beans, cacao beans, nuts, nuts, It is more preferable that the seeds of cola nuts and peanuts are roasted and used. This is because roasting increases the aroma components by thermally decomposing the components of the seeds. For example, in the case of coffee beans, it has been analyzed that the aroma component increases due to caffeic acid or quinic acid decomposed by chlorogenic acid, acetic acid or lactic acid decomposed by small sugars, or the like (Non-Patent Document 3).

On the other hand, some angiosperm fruit seeds also have an aroma component that increases by fermentation, and vanilla beans are particularly preferably fermented.

Even when seeds containing a large amount of fats and oils, which are lipophilic components, and have few fibers are used as a material containing a large amount of aroma components, the emulsifying action of the crosslinked PVP, which is an adsorbent, or the water absorption of silica powder. Since the function and the fixing function of the holding material work extremely effectively, the liquid component including the aroma component can be sufficiently retained. As a result, the liquid component containing the aroma component is separated, and when the stick-type heated aroma generator composition is molded into the stick-type heated aroma generator, the material containing the aroma component falls off and the stick-type heated aroma generator is heated. It can also solve the problem of breakage of the aroma generator and the problem of hindering the passage of volatile substances when the stick-type heated aroma generator is heated and sucked.

The flesh of the fruit of the ankle plant also contains a large amount of aroma components, specifically, the fruit of a plant belonging to the genus Grapevine, apple, banana, pineapple, peach, peach, grapevine, peach, Mango, passion fruit, kiwi fruit, guava, dorian, mangostin, papaya, star fruit, lychee, watermelon, pepino, apricot, sakurambo, carin, melon, macwauri, Dutch strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, cassis, grapevine The pulp of the Vinifesca grapes and the Labrusca grapes of the Grapevine genus can be mentioned. In particular, as fruits of plants belonging to the genus Citrus of the family Rutaceae of the order Sapindales, Valencia orange, Satsuma mandarin, grapefruit, lemon, lime, and Iyokan are preferable.

In addition, the peel of the fruit contains a larger amount of aroma components than the flesh of the fruit. In particular, the peels of the fruits of Valencia orange, Satsuma mandarin, grapefruit, lemon, lime, and plants of the genus Citrus of the order Rutaceae, represented by Iyokan, are preferable.

As the fruits of angiosperms, fruits of coriander, allspice, star anise, and pepper are preferably used.

The foliage of herbs includes foliage of taragon, basil, rosemary, and lavender, as well as all spices, oregano, thyme, dill, parsley, peppermint plants of the genus Lamiales, Lamiales, Lamiales. The leaves of the genus Peppermint, Lemon Balm, Hisop, Savory, Majorum, Lemongrass, Laurier, Sage, and Lemon Barbena are particularly preferred.

In addition, the leaves of plants that produce seeds of macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, walnuts, almonds, pecan nuts, cashew nuts, pistachio nuts, brazil nuts, coffee beans, cacao beans, nuts and cola nuts as materials containing aroma components. Can also be used. In particular, coffee leaves contain trigonelline that activates the cranial nerves and mangoerin that has an antioxidant effect, and can be preferably used as a material containing a healthy aroma component (Non-Patent Document 4).

Even when the flesh, peel, and whole fruit of such angiosperms are used as materials containing a large amount of aroma components, the aroma components contained therein are often lipophilic and have few fibers. , Adsorbents and retainers are useful. In particular, in the case of fruit flesh, since it contains a large amount of water, the need for a crosslinked PVP or silica powder adsorbent having a function of retaining water and a function of fixing the retaining material is high.

On the other hand, since the aerosol former for forming smoke essential for the stick-type heated aroma generator of the present invention contains an adsorbent and a holding material, even a material containing a large amount of aroma components and a small amount of fibers can be used. Commonly used propylene glycol, 1,3-butanediol, sorbitol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, glycerin, lactic acid, monoacetin (glycerin monoacetylate), diacetin (glycerin diacetate) ), Triacetin (glycerin triacetate), triethylene glycol diacetate, triethyl citrate, isopropyl myristate, methyl stearate, dimethyl dodecandidiate, dimethyl tetradecanthan diate, may be used alone or in plurality. It can also be selected and used. In particular, it is preferable to select and use propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, glycerin, monoacetin (glycerin monoacetate), and diacetin (glycerin diacetate).

It is preferable to further add a thickener to the stick-type heated aroma generator composition of the present invention. This thickener has a role of adjusting the viscosity of the composition for molding from the stick-type heated aroma generator composition to the stick-type heated aroma generator, and assisting the holding material.

In particular, as thickeners, polysaccharide-based polymers such as konjak mannan (glucomannan), guar gum, pectin, carrageenan, tamarin seed gum, arabic gum, soybean polysaccharide, locust bean gum, karaya gum, xanthan gum, and Select from agar and cellulose-based polymers methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxyethyl cellulose, hydroxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and sodium salt, potassium salt, and calcium salt of carboxymethyl cellulose and carboxyethyl cellulose. It is preferably at least one or more, but one or more selected from carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxyethyl cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose, and sodium salt, potassium salt and calcium salt of carboxymethyl cellulose and carboxyethyl cellulose. However, it is more preferable. Such a thickener is a kind of polysaccharide like fiber, and the aroma component generated from the material containing the aroma component by heating does not adversely affect the flavor felt in the oral cavity.

The amount of the thickener used needs to be appropriately adjusted depending on the material containing a large amount of aroma components, but an increase of 1.0 to 5.0% by mass of the total mass of the main composition of the stick-type heated aroma generator. All you have to do is add a thickener.

It is preferable to add β-cyclodextrin, which is a cyclic compound of dextrin having a hydroxyl group, as an adsorption aid, in addition to assisting the adsorbent, particularly from the viewpoint of retaining an aroma component having a hydroxyl group. It is known that β-cyclodextrin forms a clathrate and a clathrate compound using menthol as a guest molecule and β-cyclodextrin as a host molecule due to the peculiarity of the cyclic structure as well as the hydrogen bond by a hydroxyl group. It is not necessary to add a large amount, and it may be 0.2 to 1.0% by mass of the total mass of the main composition of the stick-type heated aroma generator. This β-dextrin is also a kind of polysaccharide, and the aroma component generated from the material containing the aroma component by heating does not adversely affect the flavor felt in the oral cavity.

Further, it is preferable to add microcrystalline cellulose to the stick-type heated aroma generator composition for the purpose of assisting the holding material. As a result, the following molding process can be performed more stably. As will be described later, after the step of forming the stick-type heated fragrance generator sheet from the stick-type heated fragrance generator composition, the sheet is made into a prismatic shape so that the aroma component and the aerosol are preferably sucked. There is a step of cutting into a columnar shape and a granular shape, and a step of winding these into a stick shape with a packaging member. As these molding methods, methods such as roll molding and press molding are used, but in any case, a large compressive force is applied to the composition from a metal such as stainless steel. At this time, due to this compressive force, cohesive fracture of the composition, adhesion with a metal, and the like occur, resulting in a situation in which molding processing is difficult. As a method for solving such a problem, it is preferable to add microcrystalline cellulose.

Conventionally, high-purity microcrystalline cellulose obtained by hydrolyzing and purifying pulp with acid is a fluid powder that does not dissolve in organic solvents such as water and ethanol, and is an excipient for tablet molding of pharmaceuticals. Has been used as. This is because the fluidity of the microcrystalline cellulose and the high compressibility with a large volume change are effective in preventing cohesive failure and adhesion to the mold in the molding of tablets by the direct striking method. Also in the present invention, by adding microcrystalline cellulose, for example, in the formation of a sheet by roll molding of three rolls and in the cutting of a sheet by press molding or the like, the cohesive failure of the sheet and the adhesion to a metal are effective. Can be prevented.

The average particle size of the microcrystalline cellulose is preferably 30 to 200 μm, and it is only necessary to add it to the extent that it assists the holding material, and it is 1 of the total mass of the main composition of the stick-type heated aroma generator. It is preferable to add 0 to 5.0% by mass. The microcrystalline cellulose also does not adversely affect the flavor felt in the oral cavity due to the aroma component generated from the material containing the aroma component due to heating.

Further, since it is a stick-type heated aroma generator composition using various parts of a non-tobacco plant, it is preferable to add an antibacterial preservative, and the total mass of the main composition of the stick-type heated aroma generator. 0.005 to 0.04% by mass may be added. As the antibacterial preservative, potassium sorbate and / or sodium benzoate is preferable.

Finally, inorganic particles may be added to the stick-type heated aroma generator composition of the present invention. This is because the heated fragrance generator produced by adding the inorganic particles has less dirt adhering to the heat source of the heat-not-burn smoking equipment than the heated fragrance generator to which the inorganic particles are not added. The blending amount is preferably 0.05 to 10 parts by mass, more preferably 0.1 to 5 parts by mass, based on the total mass of the main composition of the stick-type heated aroma generator.

This effect is not largely limited to the material and particle size of the inorganic particles, and includes metal oxides such as magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, titanium oxide, iron oxide and alumina, metal carbonates such as magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate, and calcium phosphate. Titanates such as metal phosphates, potassium titanate and magnesium titanate, and silicon oxides such as zeolite, colloidal silica and fumed silica were also found. Of these, magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, silicon oxide, and alumina are preferable. Although the cause of this is not clear, it is conceivable that the inorganic particles polish the surface of the heat source during desorption from the heat source, and the contact area between the heat source and the fragrance to be heated decreases during heating.

The stick-type heated fragrance generator composition has been described in detail above. Using the material constituting this composition, the stick-type heated fragrance generator is molded into a stick-type heated fragrance generator in the following steps, and then assembled into a smoking cartridge. ..

The material containing the aroma component to be used is sterilized and crushed at high temperature. When a holding material is used in this step, it is similarly sterilized and pulverized at a high temperature. Next, the material containing a predetermined amount of aroma components and the adsorbent are dry-mixed with a dry mixer such as a tumbler mixer. Then, a predetermined amount of aerosol former and pure water are added to the dry-mixed raw materials, and the mixture is wet-mixed with a wet mixer such as a kneader. In this step, if necessary, a predetermined amount of a retaining material, a thickener, β-cyclodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose, an antibacterial preservative, and inorganic particles are wet-mixed. A sheet is formed from this dispersion by roll molding such as three rolls. This sheet is cut into columns, wrapped with a packaging member, and then cut to a predetermined length to form a stick. The stick thus produced is dried, attached to the multi-ends of the support member to which the mouthpiece is attached, and assembled into a smoking cartridge with the packaging member. This process conforms to the conventional manufacturing process of the stick type electronic cigarette cartridge. As a result, a stick-type heated fragrance characterized by using the stick-type heated fragrance generator composition of the present invention was obtained, and a smoking cartridge characterized by using this stick-type heated fragrance. Is obtained.

According to the present invention, it does not contain tobacco components, and like the liquid type, beverages such as coffee, cola and red bull, desserts such as chocolate, vanilla and cream, fruits such as orange, lemon and melon, menthol, You can enjoy various flavors such as refreshing agents such as mint and herbs. The "flavor", which is a scent that is felt throughout the oral cavity when the heated aroma generator is heated and inhaled together with the aerosol, is strongly felt without containing any of the tobacco belonging to the Solanaceae family of tobacco and its similar plants, and its components. , A stick-type electronic cigarette having a form and a smoking method that are highly similar to those of conventional cigarettes can be provided.

Therefore, the present invention applies not only to those who have experienced flame-type smoking but also to first-time smokers, as if they were smoking, such as beverages such as coffee and cola, desserts such as chocolate, vanilla and cream, oranges, lemons and melons. You can taste various "flavors" such as refreshing agents such as fruits, menthol, mint, and herbs, and you can get peace of mind and body.

Furthermore, since the present invention is a harmless fragrance derived from tobaccos belonging to the Solanaceae family, plants of the same genus, and plants that do not contain the components thereof, not only the smoker himself but also the surrounding non-smokers. It also has the effect of not adversely affecting health.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is not a substitute for the conventional stick-type electronic cigarette, but a beverage such as coffee and cola, a dessert such as chocolate, vanilla and cream, fruits such as orange, lemon and melon, and menthol. You can enjoy various "flavors" such as refreshing agents such as mint and herbs, have a healing effect that brings α waves to the brain, and can provide a new smoking cartridge that is useful for improving health and beauty.

As such an adsorbent, crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) or silica powder is preferable. In addition, chitosan, chitosan derivatives , activated carbon , aluminum oxide, activated clay, zeolite and the like are also preferably used. As the crosslinked PVP, commercially available products such as Daibagan (registered trademark) manufactured by BASF European Company and Polyclar (registered trademark) VT manufactured by ISP Co., Ltd. can be used as they are. On the other hand, silica powder is composed of spherical silica particles having a primary particle diameter on the order of several tens of nm, which is typified by fumed silica used mainly for improving the rheological properties of inks and paints, and anti-inks and paints. It can be widely used up to spherical silica particles having a primary particle diameter of several μm, which are used as blocking agents, matting agents, reinforcing agents such as paints and rubbers. However, the adsorbent of the present invention is preferably spherical silica particles having a primary particle diameter on the order of submicrons, that is, an average primary particle diameter of 0.1 to 1.0 μm. Examples of such silica powder include P10 (average primary particle size: 0.1 μm) and P30 (average primary particle size:) of KE-S, a high-purity silica spherical fine particle powder Seahoster (registered trademark) manufactured by Nippon Catalyst Co., Ltd. 0.3 μm), P50 (average primary particle size: 0.5 μm), P100 (average primary particle size: 1.0 μm), and functional spherical silica HPS-0500 (average primary particle size) manufactured by Toa Synthetic Co., Ltd. : 0.5 μm) and HPS-1000 (average primary particle size: 1.0 μm), and submicron spherical silicon micropowder HM051-11 (average primary particle size: 0.5 μm) manufactured by Powder Technology Co., Ltd. Can be done. The surface of such silica powder is a hydrophilic surface in which silanol groups are distributed at a high concentration, but silica powder hydrophobized with alkylchlorosilane, alkoxysilane, or the like can also be used. In particular, when the material containing an aroma component contains a large amount of lipophilic component, hydrophobicized silica powder is preferable. Furthermore, the silica powder used in general industrial products such as inks and paints is not a porous silica powder, but when used as a carrier for a catalyst or an adsorbent, it has pores of several nm to several tens of nm. A porous silica powder having an extremely large specific surface area is adopted. Therefore, it is preferable to use the porous silica powder as the silica powder of the present invention. Chitosan, chitosan derivatives , activated carbon , aluminum oxide, activated clay, zeolite and the like are preferably used in powder form. As the zeolite, both natural zeolite and artificial zeolite can be used, and zeolite processed into a spherical shape, a pellet shape, or a hollow thread shape can also be preferably used.

Crosslinked PVP, silica powder, chitosan, chitosan derivative , activated carbon , aluminum oxide, activated clay, zeolite, etc. have important functions as such adsorbents, and do not generate aroma components even when heated, resulting in aroma. It has the advantage that the aroma component generated from the material containing the component does not adversely affect the flavor felt in the oral cavity.

In order to retain the liquid component containing the aroma component contained in the material containing the aroma component thus blended, the mixing ratio of the material containing the aroma component and the adsorbent is approximately 1: 1 to 43 : 1 ( (Mass ratio) is preferable. When the amount of the adsorbent is less than 43 : 1, the liquid component containing the aroma component cannot be sufficiently retained, and the liquid component containing the aroma component is separated. From the stick-type heated aroma generator composition. In the process of molding into a stick-type heated aroma generator, there is a problem that the material containing the aroma component falls off or breaks, and when the stick-type heated aroma generator is heated and sucked. , There is a problem of obstructing the passage of volatile substances. On the contrary, when there are more adsorbents than 1: 1, there is a problem that the drying time becomes long because the adsorbents strongly retain water by hydrogen bonds.

Further, in blending the aerosol former that generates smoke as an aerosol and the material and the adsorbent containing the aroma component, the total amount of the aerosol former and the material and the adsorbent containing the aroma component is approximately 1.9 : 1. The compounding ratio of ~ 1 : 1 (mass ratio) is preferable. At this compounding ratio, when heated and sucked as a stick-type heated aroma generator, it is possible to generate an appropriate amount of smoke similar to that of cigarettes.

Even when such a holding material is used, the material containing the aroma component is 5 to 50% by mass of the total mass of the main composition of the stick-type heated aroma generator for the same reason as when the holding material is not used. Must be included. The blending ratio of the material containing the aroma component, the adsorbent, and the holding material is preferably approximately 1: 1: 2 to 43 : 1: 5 (mass ratio). As a result of various studies, if the compounding ratio is within this range, the adsorbent cannot sufficiently retain the liquid component containing the aroma component (the liquid component containing the aroma component separates), and the stick type is heated. In the process of molding the aroma generator composition into a stick-type heated aroma generator, there is a problem that the material containing the aroma component falls off or breaks, and the stick-type heated aroma generator is heated. It was found that all the various problems such as the problem of hindering the passage of volatile substances can be solved when sucking. Moreover, it was also confirmed that the aroma component generated by heating the material containing the aroma component does not adversely affect the flavor felt in the oral cavity.

When a holding material is used, the amount of the aerosol former that can be heated and sucked as a stick-type heated aromatic generator to generate an appropriate amount of smoke similar to that of a cigarette is the aerosol former and the aroma component. It is preferable that the blending ratio with the total amount of the material containing the above, the adsorbent, and the holding material is approximately 1: 1 (mass ratio).
