Abstract

A fragrance composition for improving cigarette adhesion odor, comprising an ionone selected from the group consisting of α-ionone, β-ionone and methylionone, and another fragrance component.

Description

  The present invention relates to a fragrance composition for improving cigarette adhesion odor and a cigarette using the same.

  Due to the recent increase in people's interest in bad odors and off-flavors, various deodorant technologies have been developed. Various deodorants have been developed for the purpose of eliminating “adherent odors” generated by adsorption on clothing, fabric products, hair, etc., and some of these deodorants are caused by sidestream smoke during smoking. There are also products that target "tobacco odor" generated when the tobacco odor released to the surroundings is adsorbed on clothing, fabric products, hair, etc. (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-77545, JP-A-9-505500). Gazette and JP-A-2006-340785). However, these deodorant components are not intended to be added to cigarettes, and if these components are added to cigarettes as they are, the problem arises that the components are altered by the process of cigarette combustion. . In addition, if these components are added to cigarettes as they are, they need to be added in large amounts, which significantly impairs the original flavor of tobacco. That is, in the cigarette adhesion odor improving fragrance used by adding to cigarette, it is required to show the effect of improving the cigarette adhesion odor with a very small amount.

  On the other hand, deodorizers that reduce tobacco sidestream smoke odor have been developed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 2002-143285, 2002-143284, 2002-146386, and 2009). -179711). Furthermore, a fragrance composition for deodorizing cigarette sidestream smoke is also developed (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-179708 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-124800). These fragrance compositions, even when mixed with tobacco odors, effectively reduce the side-stream smoke odor without significantly increasing the overall odor intensity (ie, without compromising the original taste of tobacco). Deodorize. However, all of these compositions are deodorizers for reducing the sidestream smoke odor of cigarettes, and are not intended to reduce the odor of cigarette adhesion as in the present invention. Tobacco odor is an odor that occurs after adsorbing to clothing, fabric products, hair, etc. as described above. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to think that the fragrance composition for reducing the sidestream smoke odor of cigarettes exhibits the same effect of reducing the odor of cigarette adhesion. In addition, in order to obtain a sufficient improvement effect on tobacco odor, it is necessary to increase the amount of deodorant per unit area of clothing and hair. That is, in order to obtain a concealing effect on the tobacco odor adhering to clothing and hair, a much larger amount of addition is required than deodorizing the tobacco sidestream smoke odor. On the other hand, as described above, since the addition of a large amount of fragrance is concerned about the inhibition of tobacco savory taste, in the cigarette adhesion odor improving fragrance, it is possible to show a strong cigarette adhesion odor improvement effect in a very small amount. Desired.

  By the way, when adding a fragrance | flavor composition to a cigarette, it is also necessary to examine the addition method. As one typical method, application to cigarette paper is proposed. By applying to the wrapping paper, the fragrance composition can adhere to clothing and hair via sidestream smoke, and then desorb and develop its function. However, most of the fragrance compositions exhibiting the odor improving effect are highly volatile at room temperature, and it is difficult to hold a sufficient amount of the fragrance on the wrapping paper for a long period of time. Furthermore, it is known that the fragrance added to the wrapping paper shifts to cigarette chopping and product packaging materials over time, which can affect the tobacco flavor.

  To solve these problems, fragrances have been proposed that are stable and non-volatile under the production and storage conditions of tobacco products and modified to release fragrances by pyrolysis or desorption under smoking conditions. For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-501075 or US Pat. No. 4,804,002 discloses a fragrance comprising a glycoside containing a sugar and an acetal of a fragrance. However, in this technique, there is a problem that a thermal decomposition product of glycoside is mixed in the smoke at the time of smoking, thereby inhibiting the taste of tobacco. Moreover, since this technique cannot be applied to fragrances that cannot prepare glycosides, applicable fragrances are limited. JP-A-5-146285 or US Pat. No. 5,144,964 and JP 7-504080A or US Pat. No. 5,479,949 wrap a fragrance with cyclodextrin. The technology that touches is disclosed. However, even in this technique, there is a problem in that the pyrolysis product of cyclodextrin is mixed in the smoke during smoking, thereby inhibiting the taste of tobacco. In addition, there is a limit to the amount of fragrance that can be included by cyclodextrin, and the amount of cyclodextrin that can be applied to the wrapping paper is limited from the viewpoint of mechanical suitability when winding cigarettes. There is also a problem that only a small amount of perfume can be used compared to the case of coating. Therefore, the fragrance | flavor which can apply this technique is limited to what has sufficient tobacco adhesion odor reduction effect with a small quantity, and the kind of fragrance | flavor is restrict | limited.

  As described above, until now, there have been little known methods for improving tobacco odor attached to clothing or hair with deodorants added to cigarettes, and examples of touching the problem itself. There has been no deodorant that has an effect on tobacco odor while ensuring the taste.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a perfume composition that can improve tobacco odor by using a relatively small amount and does not impair the original flavor of cigarettes, and a cigarette using the same.

  The present inventors have found that when ionone selected from the group consisting of α-ionone, β-ionone and methylionone is mixed with other fragrance ingredients, the ionone enhances the fragrance intensity of the other fragrance ingredients. Moreover, it discovered that these fragrance | flavor compositions can fully improve the cigarette adhesion odor adhering to clothes and the hair by the addition amount which does not reduce the mechanical taste at the time of cigarette winding, without impairing the original flavor of tobacco. Furthermore, it has also been found that when γ-decalactone is used as another perfume component, the enhancement effect is particularly enhanced.

  According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a fragrance composition for improving cigarette adhesion odor, comprising an ionone selected from the group consisting of α-ionone, β-ionone and methylionone, and another fragrance component. .

  In the fragrance composition of the present invention, the content of the ionone is preferably 10 to 50% by weight, and more preferably 20 to 30% by weight.

These components can be used alone or, if desired, in the form of a mixture (formulated fragrance). Among these components, hydroxycitronellal, citronellol, geraniol, linalool, rosinol, dihydromyrsenol, trans-2-decenal, methyl dihydrojasmonate, anisyl acetate, benzyl butyrate, allyl cyclohexanepropionate, γ-decalactone, γ -Nonalactone, γ-octalactone, ω-pentadecalactone (15-pentadecanolide), anisaldehyde, ethyl vanillin, lilyaldehyde, raspberry ketone, propenyl guaetol, anisyl formate, phenylethyl butyrate, cinnamyl acetate, cinnamyl propionate, cinnamon It is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of methyl acrylate and ethyl cinnamate. In particular, at least one selected from the group consisting of citronellol, geraniol, rosinol, anisyl acetate, γ-decalactone and γ-nonalactone, propenyl guaetol and anisyl formate is more preferable.

  Natural fragrances containing these components may be used instead of the fragrance components or together with the fragrance components. Examples of such natural flavors include citronella oil, rose oil, geranium oil, rose geranium oil, eucalyptus oil, geranium leaf oil, kathy oil, palmarosa oil, lemon grass oil, thyme oil, cinnamon oil, basil oil, bergamot oil. , Bergamot Rose Oil, Boad Rose Oil, Cananga Oil, Carrot Weed Oil, Champaca Oil, Clary Sage Oil, Coriander Seed Oil, Yoshi Oil, Bamboo Shower, Jasmine Oil, Lapanjin Oil, Lavender Oil, Lavender Stem Oil, Spike Lavender Oil, Marjoram Oil, Narcissus Absolute, Neroli Oil, Orange Oil, Orange Flower, Pettigren Oil, Snake Root Oil, Iran Iran Oil, Kananga Oil, Artemisia Oil, Coriander, Coriander Seed, Davana, Carrotri Off oil, Chanpaka oil, Cistus oil, acerola oil, star fruit oil, anise oil, fennel oil, Tajetto oil, coriander, self-indulgence, Narcissus oil, and the like.

  In the fragrance composition of the present invention, when the other fragrance component is composed only of γ-decalactone, the content of γ-decalactone is 70 to 80% by weight, and the content of ionone is 20 to 30. It is preferable that it is weight%.

  According to the other aspect of this invention, the cigarette which carry | supported said tobacco adhesion odor improvement fragrance | flavor composition is provided. The tobacco adhering odor improving fragrance composition of the present invention can be added in any step of adding a fragrance to a cigarette. As the tobacco material, any tobacco material such as leaf tobacco (yellow species, Burley species, Orient species, etc.), sheet tobacco, etc. can be used. Usually, these tobacco materials are used for cigarettes in the form of chopping. The nicks may be in an expanded form. Moreover, the tobacco adhesion odor improvement fragrance | flavor composition of this invention may be added to any position of a tobacco material and material goods (cigarette filter etc.).

  Furthermore, the present inventors have found that if a fragrance composition containing ionone is included in cyclodextrin, an unfavorable savory taste due to a thermal decomposition product of cyclodextrin can be improved. Therefore, the cigarette of the present invention is a cigarette in which cigarettes are wound with a wrapping paper, and the wrapping paper is preferably coated or sprayed with cyclodextrin in which the fragrance composition is included.

  In the cigarette of the present invention, the coating amount of the fragrance composition included in the cyclodextrin on the wrapping paper is preferably 100 ppm or more and 200 ppm or less.

  As described above, in the fragrance composition containing ionone, an effect of enhancing the fragrance of other fragrance components can be obtained. Therefore, even if it is a fragrance | flavor composition which does not have sufficient masking effect in the quantity which can be included in cyclodextrin, aroma is enhanced by showing sufficient masking effect by using together with ionone. As a result, the types of fragrances that can be used more than before can be increased, and variations in fragrance can be increased.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

Test 1
The effect of improving the unfavorable flavor of the thermal decomposition product of cyclodextrin by ionone was verified.

[Preparation of cigarette]
Example 1A: 75 parts by weight of cyclodextrin (CD) and 25 parts by weight of β-ionone inclusion cyclodextrin (BI inclusion CD) were mixed with powder. This mixed powder was dispersed so as to be 16 wt% with respect to a 6.0 wt% aqueous solution of carboxymethyl cellulose to prepare a dispersion. Using a gravure coater manufactured by Rensui Seiki Co., Ltd., a gravure coating was applied to the center of a 27 mm wide wrapping paper (P35) with a width of 7 mm. The cyclodextrin inclusion rate of β-ionone was 9.2% as a result of analysis by GC-MSD, and the coating amount of β-ionone on the wrapper was 23.2 ppm / book. The cigarette sample of Example 1A was produced using the prepared wrapping paper. An ordinary commercial cigarette was used as the cigarette.

  As a control for the cigarette sample of Example 1A, the cigarette samples of Comparative Examples 1A, 1B, and 1C were prepared. The following wrapping papers were used for the cigarette samples of Comparative Examples 1A, 1B and 1C, respectively. The wrapping paper used for the cigarette samples of Comparative Examples 1B and 1C was prepared by gravure coating a predetermined dispersion using the same method as described above. The cigarette samples of Comparative Examples 1A, 1B, and 1C were prepared using each of the prepared wrapping papers. The same commercially available cigarette as Example 1A was used for the cigarette.

Comparative Example 1A: No coating Comparative Example 1B: Cyclodextrin (CD) coating Comparative Example 1C: Cyclodextrin (CD) + γ-decalactone inclusion cyclodextrin (DL inclusion CD) coating [flavor evaluation]
About the produced cigarette sample, the savory taste was evaluated by a scoring method by three in-house professional evaluators. The scores are as follows.

  1 point = very bad savory taste 2 points = poor savory taste 3 points = slightly bad savory taste 4 points = slightly savory taste 5 points = good savory taste 6 points = savory taste very good.

The score of each sample was the arithmetic average of the scores of three professional evaluators. The score was calculated to the first decimal place. Table 1 shows the results.

  Table 1 shows the following. Compared with the cigarette of Comparative Example 1A using uncoated wrapping paper, the flavor of the cigarette of Comparative Example 1B using wrapping paper coated only with CD is inhibited. The cigarette of Example 1A using the wrapping paper coated with CD and BI inclusion CD has an effect of improving the flavor of the cigarette of Comparative Example 1B, and the score is close to that of Comparative Example 1A. The cigarette of Comparative Example 1C using the wrapping paper coated with CD and DL inclusion CD does not show the effect of improving the flavor as compared with the cigarette of Comparative Example 1B.

  In the case of using α-ionone or methylionone instead of β-ionone, the effect of improving the flavor was recognized as in the case of the cigarette of Example 1A.

Test 2
The enhancement effect of other perfume ingredients by Ionone was verified. Another perfume ingredient used in this test is γ-decalactone.

[Preparation of perfume solution]
As a fragrance solution, γ-decalactone alone (DL only), a mixed composition of γ-decalactone and ionone (I + DL), or ionone alone (I only) solution was prepared. As ionone, α-ionone, β-ionone, or methylionone was prepared. The blending ratio of γ-decalactone and ionone in each solution is as shown in Table 2. Propylene glycol (PG) was prepared as a solvent. Regarding γ-decalactone alone and a mixed composition solution of γ-decalactone and ionone, 20 μL of fragrance and 1000 μL of fragrance were placed in a screw bottle to prepare a PG solution of the fragrance. The perfume content of the ionone alone solution was adjusted to the ionone content in the PG solution of the mixture composition of γ-decalactone and ionone.

[sensory evaluation]
Three expert evaluators in the company applied each prepared fragrance solution to the tip of odor paper and evaluated the fragrance intensity by a 6-point scoring method. For the γ-decalactone single solution and the mixed composition solution of γ-decalactone and ionone, the fragrance intensity of γ-decalactone in the solution was evaluated. For the ionone alone solution, the aroma intensity of ionone was evaluated. The scores are as follows.

  1 point = very weak aroma intensity, 2 points = weak aroma intensity, 3 points = slightly weak aroma intensity, 4 points = slightly strong aroma intensity, 5 points = strong aroma intensity, 6 points = aroma intensity Very strong.

The score of each sample was the arithmetic average of the scores of three professional evaluators. The score was calculated to the first decimal place. Table 2 shows the results.

  Table 2 shows the following. Compared with the fragrance intensity of the γ-decalactone single solution (3.2), the fragrance intensity of γ-decalactone is enhanced in the mixed composition solution of γ-decalactone and ionone. Although the blending amount of γ-decalactone is decreased by increasing the blending amount of ionone, it can be seen that the aroma intensity of γ-decalactone is increased sensuously. When the enhancement effect is larger as the score difference is larger with respect to the fragrance intensity of γ-decalactone in the γ-decalactone alone solution (with no ionone added), the content of ionone in the mixed composition solution of γ-decalactone and ionone Is preferably 10 to 50 wt%, and more preferably 20 to 30 wt%. Such a tendency can be said when any ionone of α-ionone, β-ionone and methylionone is used.

  On the other hand, the fragrance intensity of the ionone alone solution was 2.4 or less in all scores, and was quite weak. This indicates that the overall aroma intensity can be increased without changing the overall aroma, that is, while maintaining the aroma of γ-decalactone.

Test 3
The effect of improving tobacco odor was verified.

[Preparation of cigarette]
The fragrance | flavor composition (100 wt% in total) of the mixing | blending ratio shown in Table 3 and Table 4 was prepared. All cigarettes used were the same as in Example 1A.

1. Example 3A-3H and Comparative Example 3A-3D
Each fragrance composition was dissolved in ethanol, and then applied to the entire surface of the cigarette paper using a syringe. The coating amount of the ethanol solution of each fragrance composition was 10 μL / book. The addition amount (ppm) in Table 3 represents the addition amount of the fragrance per cigarette (cigarette weight 650 mg). For example, when the addition amount is 150 ppm, the fragrance composition of 650 mg × 150 ppm = 97.5 μg is dissolved in 10 μL of the ethanol solution of the fragrance composition. Cigarettes were prepared using the prepared wrapping paper and subjected to sensory evaluation.

2. Example 3I-3M
Each fragrance composition was included in cyclodextrin. In the same manner as in Test 1, the flavor-inclusion cyclodextrin was dispersed in a 6.0 wt% aqueous solution of carboxymethyl cellulose to prepare a dispersion. Using a gravure coater, the dispersion liquid was gravure-coated with a width of 7 mm at the center of a 27 mm-wide cigarette paper. The addition amount (ppm) in Table 2 represents the addition amount of the fragrance composition, and was determined from the addition amount of the fragrance inclusion cyclodextrin and the inclusion rate of each fragrance composition. Cigarettes were prepared using the prepared wrapping paper and subjected to sensory evaluation.

[sensory evaluation]
1) Evaluation of cigarette odor The cigarette smoke is attached to each material of polyester, cotton, and hair, and 48 cigarette odors are evaluated by a paired comparison method (blind evaluation) by 48 in-house expert evaluators. Evaluation was performed. Details are as follows.

  In a pair of containers having the same volume, polyester (JIS standard polyester, 5 × 5 cm piece), cotton (JIS standard cotton kanakin No. 3, 5 × 5 cm piece), hair (manufactured by Osaka Brush Co., Ltd. 100% black hair) was hung. Sidestream smoke produced by burning the same volume of cigarettes of the fragrance-uncoated product and the fragrance-coated product in each container was adhered to the material in the container. After extinguishing the cigarette, the material was taken out from each container in which the fragrance-free product and the fragrance-coated product were burned, and each material was put in a screw bottle with a three-digit number. The expert evaluator sniffed the cigarette-adhering odor of a pair of fragrance-uncoated / fragrance-coated materials, and selected the one with a weaker cigarette-adhering odor intensity.

  A two-term test (two-sided test) was performed with the unscented fragrance-coated product to evaluate whether or not the tested fragrance composition had the functionality of improving the tobacco odor.

  Good = significant difference at a level of 95% or higher, acceptable = significant difference at a level of 90% or higher, and improper = no significant difference.

2) Overall aroma intensity evaluation The overall aroma intensity was evaluated for each material to which cigarette smoke was attached by a scoring method by three in-house expert evaluators. The scores are as follows.

  0 point = no fragrance, 1 point = very weak fragrance intensity, 2 points = weak fragrance intensity, 3 points = slightly weak fragrance intensity, 4 points = slightly strong fragrance intensity, 5 points = strong fragrance intensity 6 points = Aroma intensity is very strong.

  The score of each material was the arithmetic average of the scores of three professional evaluators. The score was calculated to the first decimal place.

3) Flavor evaluation The flavor of the produced cigarette samples was evaluated by a scoring method by three in-house professional evaluators. The scores are as follows.

  1 point = very bad savory taste 2 points = poor savory taste 3 points = slightly bad savory taste 4 points = slightly savory taste 5 points = good savory taste 6 points = savory taste very good.

  The score of each sample was the arithmetic average of the scores of three professional evaluators. The score was calculated to the first decimal place.

Tables 3 and 4 show the test results.

  From the results shown in Table 3, the following can be understood.

  From the comparison between Example 3A and Comparative Example 3A, the comparison between Example 3C and Comparative Example 3B, the comparison between Example 3G and Comparative Example 3C, and the comparison between Example 3H and Comparative Example 3D, α-ionone, β -The fragrance composition containing either ionone or methylionone has a significantly improved function of reducing the odor of cigarettes attached to each material as compared to the fragrance composition not containing ionone, and the overall fragrance intensity and flavor. It can be seen that this is also good.

  Furthermore, the fragrance composition containing ionone and γ-decalactone as the other fragrance component is more suitable for the attachment of tobacco in each material compared to the fragrance composition containing ionone and the fragrance component other than γ-decalactone as the other fragrance component. It can also be seen that the function of reducing odor is improved and the effect of enhancing fragrance is increased. For example, the fragrance composition of Example 3A that does not contain γ-decalactone has a good function of reducing the cigarette adhesion odor to polyester, but has a slightly low function of reducing the cigarette adhesion odor to cotton and hair. On the other hand, the fragrance composition of Example 3B-3G containing γ-decalactone also satisfactorily reduces the cigarette adhesion odor to any material of polyester, cotton and hair.

  Moreover, when Example 3A which does not contain any γ-decalactone and Comparative Example 3A are compared, the enhancement ratio of aroma intensity is 3.7 ÷ 2.4≈1.5 times. On the other hand, when Example 3E containing both γ-decalactone and Comparative Example 3C are compared, the increase ratio of the aroma intensity is 5.3 ÷ 2.7≈2.0 times. Thus, the fragrance composition containing ionone and γ-decalactone as the other fragrance component has a fragrance enhancing effect as compared with the fragrance composition containing ionone and the fragrance component other than γ-decalactone as the other fragrance component. large.

  Further, when the fragrance composition is composed only of ionone and γ-decalactone, it is particularly good when the content of γ-decalactone is 70 to 80% by weight and the content of ionone is 20 to 30% by weight. The cigarette adhesion odor reduction functionality, overall aroma intensity and flavor are shown (Example 3E, Example 3G).

  As can be seen from Comparative Example 3C, γ-decalactone alone does not exhibit the functionality of reducing tobacco adhesion odor when the addition amount is 150 ppm.

  From the results shown in Table 4, the following can be understood.

  As in Example 3I-3M, when the cigarette was prepared by enclosing the fragrance composition in cyclodextrin and coated on a wrapping paper, the enhancement effect of other fragrance components by ionone was obtained, and good A function to reduce cigarette adhesion odor and flavor are also obtained.

Test 4
It verified about the coating amount to the preferable cigarette of the fragrance | flavor composition containing an ionone.

[Preparation of cigarette]
Cigarettes (DL-CD + BI-CD = 75 wt% + 25 wt%) in which γ-decalactone and β-ionone were respectively encapsulated in cyclodextrin and coated on a wrapping paper were prepared. All cigarettes used were the same as in Example 1A.

  75 parts by weight of γ-decalactone inclusion cyclodextrin and 25 parts by weight of β-ionone inclusion cyclodextrin were mixed in powder form. This mixed powder was dispersed in a 6.0 wt% aqueous solution of carboxymethyl cellulose, and then gravure coated with a 7 mm width on the center of a 27 mm wide cigarette paper using a gravure coater. The level of coating amount is as shown in Table 5. The concentration of the fragrance inclusion cyclodextrin was adjusted so as to achieve the target coating amount. Cigarettes were prepared using the prepared wrapping paper, and the suitability for winding on cigarettes, cigarette adhesion odor, and flavor were evaluated.

  As a control, a wrapping paper was prepared in the same manner as above except that only γ-decalactone inclusion cyclodextrin was used, and a cigarette (DL-CD only) was prepared using the prepared wrapping paper. Cigarette adhesion odor and flavor were evaluated.

[Adequacy of winding on cigarette]
An evaluation was performed by a cigarette manufacturer. A cigarette was produced by a hoisting machine using the prepared wrapping paper. Observe the frequency of defective rolls when 40,000 cigarettes are produced continuously, the state of cyclodextrin splashing during winding, the cyclodextrin adherence to the web-feeding roller and the web-contacting area, and the overall suitability Was evaluated as follows.

  Good: good winding, good: possible to wind, bad: not possible to wind.

[sensory evaluation]
1) Evaluation of cigarette adhesion odor The smoke from cigarette burning was adhered to predetermined materials, and the cigarette adhesion odor was evaluated by a scoring method by 12 in-house expert evaluators. The method for preparing the sample to be evaluated was the same as in Test 3 above. In addition to polyester, cotton, and hair, wool (JIS standard wool, 5 × 5 cm piece) was used as a material. A professional evaluator sniffed the odors of cigarettes attached to each material, and evaluated how much the cigarette odors were reduced. The expert evaluator evaluated each material. The scores are as follows.

  1 point = not exhibiting functionality (for reducing cigarette adhesion odor), 2 points = somewhat functional, 3 points = showing functionality, 4 points = strong functionality.

  The score of each material was the arithmetic average of the scores of 12 professional evaluators. The score was calculated to the first decimal place.

2) Flavor evaluation About the produced cigarette sample, the flavor was evaluated by a scoring method by four in-house professional evaluators. The scores are as follows.

  1 point = (poor flavor) is bad, 2 points = acceptable, 3 points = slightly good, 4 points = good.

  The score of each sample was the arithmetic average of the scores of three professional evaluators. The score was calculated to the first decimal place.

Table 5 shows the test results.

  From Table 5, it can be seen that the preferred coating amount of the fragrance composition satisfying the cigarette rollability, the cigarette adhesion odor reduction functionality, and the flavor is 100 ppm or more and 200 ppm or less.
