Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject improving agent capable of inhibiting an inconvenient smoking taste, etc. of a tobacco raw material by adding only a small amount thereof without inhibiting the original favorable aroma and taste of the tobacco by using an extract obtained by performing a specific extracting treatment on an aqueous extract of a green tea as an active ingredient. SOLUTION: This improving agent for an aroma and smoking taste of a tobacco is obtained by using an extract obtained by subjecting an aqueous extract of a green tea under an extract treatment with a water-containing ethanol and/or an organic solvent capable of dissolving caffeine as an active ingredient. Preferably after the extract treatment of the aqueous extract of the green tea with the water-containing ethanol, an insoluble portion obtained by the extract treatment of the water-containing ethanol soluble portion with the organic solvent capable of dissolving caffeine, is used as the active ingredient. As the organic solvent capable of dissolving caffeine, a mixed solvent of 1:1 volume ratio of ethyl acetate to hexane is preferably used. The objective improving agent is preferably added to a burning part of the tobacco products such as a chopped tobacco raw material, rolling paper, etc. The amount of the addition is preferably by 10 ppb-10 ppm based on the weight of the tobacco raw material.
