Description

The present invention is in the field of a device for heating tobacco without burning, the subject of the invention being a bulk solid reconstituted plant composition, the volume of which is suitable for the heating device. Is.

In order to avoid the formation of harmful components during the burning of cigarettes, devices have been developed that heat a large number of cigarettes without burning them. As an example, the application published under the WO2013 / 178769 number can be mentioned. In such devices, hot air passes through a tobacco stick containing an aerosol generator to generate the aerosol. The generated aerosol replaces cigarette smoke and contains tobacco aroma. Therefore, this allows smokers to inhale the aroma of tobacco at the same time as significantly reducing exposure to harmful components.

Reconstructed tobacco is more suitable for these heating devices than natural tobacco, because unlike natural tobacco, it can easily absorb and release aerosol generators and is therefore satisfactory to the user. This is because an aerosol having a sensory-accepting property is easily generated.

Tobacco sticks for devices that heat tobacco without burning include a wrap (paper, tobacco, aluminum, etc.) that surrounds the leaves of chopped reconstituted tobacco. Therefore, the production of these tobacco sticks is long and limited due to the large number of steps required.

In addition, these sticks can be difficult to introduce into and remove from a device that heats tobacco without burning. This is because these sticks may or may not collapse as they are handled by the user and heated in the device. This difficulty can cause some frustration for the user of the device.

Plant extracts and plant fibers are therefore typically obtained by dissociation methods. During step a1) of this method, for example in an extractor, one or more plant portions are mixed with a solvent to extract a plant extract.

The plant extract is therefore soluble in the solvent and is consistent with all plant products obtained by the dissociation method.

Typically, the solvent may be a non-polar solvent, an aprotic polar solvent, a protic polar solvent, or a mixture thereof, and in particular, the solvent may be methanol, dichromethane, ethanol, acetone, butanol, water, or a mixture thereof. Often, in particular the solvent is ethanol, acetone, water or a mixture thereof.

It is equipped with an air outlet for introduction into the mouth of a person. The air inlet, heating section, lodging, and air outlet are fluidly connected to each other.

Typically, the bulk solid composition is placed in the lodge by the user prior to using a device that heats the tobacco without burning it. When a device that heats a cigarette without burning it is used, air is sucked by the user into the device that heats the cigarette without burning it through the air inlet. The sucked air then passes through the heated portion to obtain heated air. Upon contact with the bulk solid composition retained in the lodging, the aerosol is formed by hot air and then inhaled by the user.

Typically, the device for heating the cigarette without burning also comprises a filter between the lodging and the air outlet for arranging and holding the bulk solid composition. The filter makes it possible to prevent the user from inhaling particles of the bulk solid composition.

Since the plant extract is contained in the formed aerosol, the aerosol therefore has plant sensory accepting properties. If the plant is a medicinal plant, the bulk solid composition of the invention and the aerosol formed can therefore have therapeutic properties.

Furthermore, when a device that heats tobacco without burning is used with the bulk solid composition, the bulk solid composition does not burn. The user can therefore benefit from the sensory receptive properties of the plant while very significantly reducing exposure to harmful components.

Illustrated bulk solid composition according to the invention

Three bulk solid compositions having different SR degrees of beaten fibers were produced according to the following procedure.

A mixture of Virginia, Burley and Orient tobacco leaf pieces is brought into contact with water in a laboratory at 40 ° C. with manual agitation for 30 minutes. Tobacco extract is separated from the fiber with a mechanical press and then vacuum concentrated to a solid concentration of 51.5%. Glycerol is added to the soluble aqueous fraction of tobacco.

Beat the fibers using a beater-refiner. Since the bulk solid composition varies depending on the SR degree of the beating fiber, the beating is adjusted to the desired SR degree.

The beaten fiber, tobacco extract, and glycerol are manually mixed to give a paste. This paste is then molded in a mold.

Finally, the paste is dried at 95 ° C. for 30 minutes to give a bulk solid composition.

Comparative bulk solid composition

A comparative bulk solid composition with a density of 620.7 mg.cm ^-3 was prepared according to the same procedure as above.

Characteristics of bulk solid composition
