The present invention provides a method for producing a reconstituted tobacco sheet, more specifically a method for producing a leaflet containing a flavor compound in a gel matrix in the leaflet, and more particularly for producing a leaflet comprising an alginate-based compound It is about a papermaking method.

In the manufacture of smoking articles, in particular cigarettes, it is common to use a proportion of recycled tobacco strips in the tobacco blend. Regenerated tobacco is generally made from sheets of tobacco fines, leaf veins, stems and other tobacco waste to make sheets, then cut into strips and blended with freshly cut tobacco. The content of recycled tobacco used in tobacco blends for smoking articles varies but is generally less than 20%. Usually, the leaflets produced by the papermaking process do not contain additional binders such as alginates, guar, xanthan, acacia, pectin, other gums and modified cellulose compounds.

In addition, a great deal of attention has been directed to reducing the ignition propensity of smoking articles due to the large number of fires caused by combustion cigarettes upon contact with combustible materials. Therefore, considerable effort has been made in the industry to provide smoking articles with a low propensity to ignite. Many of these efforts include improving the wrapper of smoking articles. In particular, coatings or additives have been applied to the wrapper of smoking articles to reduce the porosity or change the chemical properties of the wrapper.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

Cigarettes with improved combustion rates are shown in FIG. 1 and may also be referred to as partial double wrap cigarettes 10. As shown in FIG. 1, the partial double wrap cigarette 10 of the present invention includes a standard tobacco column 13 that extends from the exposed end to the filter 15. The outer wrap cigarette paper 12 is wrapped around the tobacco column 13. Inside the outer wrap cigarette paper 12 there are separate partial inner wrap layers or strips 14a and 14b. The separate partial inner wrap layers 14a and 14b modify the combustion characteristics of the cigarette 10 to act as a burn rate modifier of the tobacco column 13. As can be seen from the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the inner wrap layer strip can be co-axial with the tobacco column 13 and extends over most of the tobacco column length from the exposed end to the filter 15. There may be. The insert density of tobacco, the porosity of the outer wrap cigarette paper 12 and the additives to the outer wrap, due to the insertion of the separate partial inner wrap layers 14a and 14b coaxially developing with the tobacco column 13 in this embodiment, The combustion rate of the cigarette can be improved in such a way that the burning rate can be adjusted according to the width of the separated partial inner wrap layers 14a and 14b, the porosity of the inner wrap layers 14a and 14b and the additive to the inner wrap strip. have. Alternatively, the inner wrap layer may be shortened so as not to develop along the entire length of the tobacco leaf 13 or may be developed in various directions. That is, various modifications to the burn rate of the partial double wrap cigarette 10 of the present invention can be established, in particular based on a combination of factors described herein.

As shown in FIG. 1, the partial double wrap cigarette 10 of the present invention having improved burn rate characteristics has an outer wrap cigarette paper 12 having first and second separate partial inner wrap strips 14a and 14b. ). The outer wrap cigarette paper 12 may be a normal porosity paper, typically having a porosity of 15 to 80 CORESTA units. Along with this outer wrap cigarette paper 12, at least one partially inner wrap layer is arranged that can improve the burn rate characteristics of the cigarette 10. As shown, the first and second partial inner wrap layers 14a and 14b are provided on opposite surfaces of the tobacco column 13. In order to provide substantially equivalent burn rate characteristics along the entire tobacco column 13, the partial inner wrap strips 14a and 14b extend substantially from the tobacco column 13 to the filter 15 and with the tobacco column 13. It can be coaxial.

As shown in the embodiment of FIG. 2, the partial inner wrap layers 14a and 14b extend across both ends of the tobacco column 13 and are arranged to be equally spaced from each other or in different positions depending on the desired burn rate properties. Can be placed in.

Referring again to FIG. 3, the partial double wrap cigarette 10 of the present invention has a fast diffusion rate region (hereinafter referred to as a fast diffusion region) 21 and a diffusion rate according to the arrangement of the inner wrap layer or strips 14a and 14b. It can be clearly seen that the slow regions (hereafter slow diffusion regions) 22 are alternately present. As can be seen in this figure, at least one or more high velocity diffusion regions 21 increase the penetration of CO and oxygen gas through the barrier formed by the outer wrap 12 while maintaining normal delivery. In addition, the slow diffusion region 22 represented by the circumferential range of each of the partial inner wrap layers 14a and 14b, together with the outer wrap layer 12, has an inflow that is directly related to the porosity of the inner wrap layers 14a and 14b. And potentially all or a substantial portion of the exhaust gas. The coaxial region of the high speed diffusion region 21 and the low speed diffusion region 22 may have a porosity of more than 14 CORESTA for the coaxial high speed diffusion region and less than 8 CORESTA for the coaxial low speed diffusion region.

As can be seen in the figure, the construction of a cigarette with improved combustion rate is a partial double wrap cigarette 10 shown in the figure, which uses a standard outer wrapper cigarette paper 12 having a width of 27 mm for a conventional cigarette. As shown in FIG. 2 and as an alternative embodiment to FIG. 4, inside the outer wrap, separate partial inner wrap layers 14a and 14b are disposed which can be substantially developed along the length of the outer wrap 12. The outer wrap of the cigarette paper may be of standard porosity and construction, but the first and second strips 14a and 14b of the partial inner wrap according to the present embodiment may each be 4 mm wide and the porosity may be less than 8 CORESTA units. Thus, the two inner wrap layers or strips 14a and 14b together may encircle the outer circumference of about 8 mm of the partial double wrap cigarette 10 of the present invention, but the outer circumference of the tobacco column up to 15 mm relative to standard cigarette dimensions. Can be deployed accordingly. Any combination of a partial inner wrap and an outer wrap may be made according to the mentioned parameters such as the porosity of each paper, but the limited impact on smoke and flavor and good burn rate properties are less than about 75% of the outer wrap periphery, or It is contemplated that this may be achieved when the inner wrap covers preferably less than about 60%, more preferably less than about 35%. This is a function of the overall cigarette and can vary with the outer circumference of the outer wrap. However, variations may be used to achieve the same desirable results using the aspects of the present design in accordance with the present invention, and this description should be considered as illustrative only and not as a limitation.

Alternatively, as providing a cigarette with improved burn rate as described herein, many other configurations may be used. As will be appreciated, the inner wrap layer may be provided in a single layer or in multiple layers, depending on the desired properties and burn rate improvement. That is, as mentioned above, a low porosity inner lap segment and a high porosity outer lap segment may be used together to provide the various linear burn rates required. That is, a typical linear burn rate of 6.0 mm per minute can be reduced as desired based on the porosity combination of the outer wrap strip and the partial inner wrap strip, among other factors, if necessary, and easily to less than 4 mm / min if necessary. You can. The methods include the composition of lower porosity single layer inner wrap strips or the replacement of inner wrap strips with various constituent materials such as recycled tobacco, low porosity paper, recycled tobacco, polymeric materials, other papers or materials. This inner wrap strip is coated with a binder such as alginate (e.g. sodium alginate), guar, xanthan, acacia, pectin, other gums, modified cellulose compounds or hydrocolloid-based compounds, which act as combustion improvers or inhibitors At least one low diffusion region is formed along the pillar. The binder reduces the porosity of the coated leaflets used as the inner strip, and a combination of outer wrap porosity, tobacco fill density, inner strip combustion properties, inner strip porosity and other factors is suitable to provide a cigarette that exhibits the desired burn rate. Provide the characteristics.

As shown in Figures 4-7, various aspects may be used to form regions with low porosity. As shown in FIG. 4, the open standard outer wrap 12 has a plurality of inner wraps or inner layer strips 16a, 16b, 16c and 16d faced therein. These strips are arranged at equal intervals along the inside of the outer wrap 12 and can be spaced apart from edges or seams to which the outer wrap adheres to itself during rolling in the cigarette maker's garniture. have. As shown, strips 16a through 16d can all be supplied as accessories and merged inside the outer wrap adjacent to the tobacco column. The placement of the partial inner wrap strip coated with the alginate-based compound may improve the burn rate to the desired level, providing a reduction in burn rate sufficient to significantly reduce the stationary burn rate or autodigestion at the required intervals.

As shown in FIG. 5, the inner layer 17 having a non-linear surface as compared to the edge of the outer wrap 12 can be used as a partial inner wrap to form a low porosity zone. As shown in FIG. 5, the inner wrap layer 17 is corrugated so that the placement position of the low porosity zone may vary along the tobacco column axis. The non-linear arrangement of these low porosity zones can cause the position of the cigarette to vary during stationary combustion and ensure that the desired stationary combustion rate can be reliably achieved regardless of the cigarette position.

Figure 6 shows another embodiment of a burn rate improved cigarette according to the present invention. As shown, the high diffusion region 21 and the low diffusion region 22 are defined by the addition of a partial double wrap inner wrap layer 18 surrounding a portion of the tobacco column 13 inside the outer wrap 12. do. As shown in FIG. 6, the partial inner wrap layer 18 is deployed about 1/2 of the periphery of the tobacco column 13. However, other various arrangements may be used to achieve a suitable linear burn rate through the aforementioned burn rate improvements. The partial double wrap inner wrap layer 18 consists of a low porosity standard cigarette paper having a porosity of less than 7 CORESTA units or a cigarette paper coated with a burn rate modifier, or with or without additives and typically having a low CORESTA unit. And less than 5, more preferably less than 3, other configurations such as platelets. A second advantage of using the leaflet as the partial double wrap inner wrap layer 18 is the contrasting whitening zone where the inner wrap can be colored similar to the tobacco column 13 and develop along the low diffusion zone 22. Does not provide a. In addition, a polymer film or other material may be used as the partial double wrap inner wrap layer 18. The partial double wrap inner layer shown in FIG. 6 has a width of 2 to 14 mm or an outer wrap such that a suitable burn rate improvement is preferably obtained, i.e., the straight burn rate is maintained at a sufficiently low level, preferably less than 4.0 mm / min. Preferably less than 75% of the circumference.

As shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of inner wrap strips 19 substantially surrounding the tobacco column 13 in the interior of the outer wrap 12 disclose an alternative embodiment. A plurality of inner wrap strips 19 are supplied to the accessory adjacent the outer wrap 12 to surround the tobacco post 13 when a tobacco post is formed in the cigarette maker. The plurality of strips 19 may consist of low porosity cigarette paper, each supplied to a cigarette maker, or may consist of a single or a plurality of strips fed to a cigarette maker adjacent to the accessory and cut into suitable strip widths. As shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of inner wrap strips 19 are used and deployed substantially coaxially along the length of the tobacco column 13. The plurality of strips 19 are preferably deployed along the entire tobacco column length so that the burning rate is improved along the tobacco spout regardless of the cigarette location. It is contemplated that providing a plurality of strips 19 as shown in FIG. 7 can further improve the burning rate of the cigarette.

As can be seen, deploying the inner wrap layer coaxially along almost the entire length of the tobacco column 13 provides a significant advantage over alternating rings perpendicular to the axis of the tobacco column 13. Thus alternating vertical rings along the length of the tobacco column may provide a non-linear combustion rate of the tobacco column 13. That is, the linear burning rate in this design where there is a columnar ring around such a tobacco column is high linear burning from low linear burning rate depending on the porosity of the paper located at the ring point, in contrast to the porosity unadjusted paper between the rings. It varies from speed to speed. This non-linear combustion rate may be undesirable in that free combustion of the tobacco column, which lasts for a considerable time between the actual rings, does not provide a suitable combustion rate improvement that may vary along the entire tobacco column length. In addition, where there is a low porosity ring, a smoker may have to smoke a cigarette as the tobacco column burns over the low porosity ring. It is contemplated that the delivery of a cigarette at this point may be significantly altered to increase the CO and other compounds provided when the cigarette burns on one of these rings. That is, the partial double wrap inner wrap layer of the present invention overcomes these problems by providing a known standard delivery along the entire length of the tobacco column while improving combustion speed along the entire coaxial length.

According to the design of the burn rate improved cigarette 10 according to the present invention, it may be desirable to merge the inner wrap layer spaced apart at the outer wrap 12 junction, whether a plurality of strips or a single layer. As is known in the cigarette manufacturing technique, the junction 23 shown in FIG. 1 is formed by a manufacturer that rolls the side edges 24 of the outer wrap 12 into layers. According to a typical cigarette manufacturing technique, an adhesive is applied along one edge 24 prior to folding the outer wrap to form the tobacco column 13. During manufacture of the cigarette 10 in which the combustion rate improvement according to the invention is made, the outer wrap 12 is suitably formed and the partial inner wrap layer is not mediated during formation of the tobacco column or adhesion of the outer wrapper layer. It is desirable to keep it spaced apart from the junction. That is, as described in these aspects, the partial inner wrap layer is such that the partial inner wrap layer does not interfere with the bonding of the outer wrap 12 and does not interfere with the formation of tobacco poles in the accessory of a typical cigarette maker. It can be seen that they are spaced apart from the side edges 24. That is, the burn rate improved cigarette according to the present invention can be produced with a standard cigarette maker which only slightly improves the paper feeder, and therefore no modifications will be required in the accessory. In addition, in accordance with any of the aspects set forth herein, the strip may be alternately disposed outside the cigarette, such that the strip may be held over the cigarette paper using adhesive or other means to maintain the high and low porosity coaxial regions formed. It is self-evident.

The burn rate improved cigarette according to the invention can be designed as a variant of the paper properties of the outer and inner wraps. As mentioned above, the standard outer wrap design is a design in which a typical outer wrap has a straight out width of 27 mm and porosity generally between 15 and 80 CORESTA units. As generally appreciated, a significant decrease in the outer wrap porosity changes the delivery of cigarettes and the rate of linear combustion. Improvements in the standard burn rate of normal or typical cigarettes can be obtained through the addition of a partial inner wrap to the cigarette. The partial inner wrap can be a single inner wrap portion or a plurality of inner wrap strips as shown in the various figures. The partial inner wrap may be a paper having a property of significantly reduced porosity such that this inner wrap paper exhibits a porosity of less than 8 CORESTA units. If a single inner wrap strip is used, the inner wrap layer can be between 2 and 15 mm in width. The porosity of the inner wrap layer can be adjusted from 0 to 8 CORESTA units from any porosity.

A more detailed understanding of the present invention can be obtained through the following examples. However, these examples should not be considered as too restrictive of the invention.

Example 1

Through the techniques of the present invention and the configurations described herein, several product examples have been made utilizing the construction of a partial strip wrap or a partial inner wrap cigarette. As a control cigarette of this example, a cigarette without a partial inner wrap strip having a linear burning rate of 4.3 to 4.7 mm / min was used. Partial inner wrap strips were made using a variety of materials as described in the table below, ranging from standard treated paper to band cast tobacco material.

An example cigarette with two band cast inner wrap strips having a porosity of less than 5 CORESTA units is as follows:

An example of a cigarette having two cigarette paper strips treated or applied with sodium alginate and having a porosity of less than 5 CORESTA units in the inner strip paper is as follows:

Examples of cigarettes detailing the smoke transfer of two samples with band cast strips are as follows:

As in the example shown, it is clear that the addition of the partial inner wrap to the cigarette has a clear effect on the linear burn rate and self-extinguishing compared to the control cigarette. The linear burning rate of cigarettes using the present invention was directly affected and it was confirmed that the linear burning rate was reduced by up to 40%. In the case of using an inner wrap strip of at least 4 mm in width, the test samples were all self-extinguishing. If the strip is narrower than this, other results have been shown, which can be improved by using alternative additives or increasing the number of strips. The explanation for the self-extinguishing of cigarettes on the 10th floor is related to NIST testing for cigarette firing propensity.

Smoking articles containing recycled tobacco strips

The separated partial inner wrap strip 14 may be a regenerated tobacco strip made according to a specific compositional formula and method of making thereof, as discussed below. The outer wrap cigarette paper 12 may be a general porosity paper that generally represents the porosity of 15-80 CORESTA units. As shown, two strips 14 of platelets are provided on opposite sides of the tobacco column 13 to provide a partial inner wrap layer. The partial inner wrap layer, such as the leaflet 14, may develop along almost the entire length of the tobacco column 13 and may be coaxial with the tobacco column. According to one aspect, the strips are arranged at equal intervals from one another such that the final cigarette is burned evenly.

Preparation of Platelets Using Binders

8 is a flow chart showing an improved recycled tobacco production process for the production of split inner wraps. In the manufacture of platelets used for cigarettes, tobacco particles, such as tobacco powder, stems, wastes, chopped leaves, flake stems, or a combination thereof, are added to an aqueous solvent such as water in a ratio of 1 part of tobacco to 11 parts to 20 parts of aqueous solvent. Make up. This solution is extracted at about 160 ° F. for about 30 minutes. The solution is then separated into extracts with water soluble compounds and solid / fibrous portions via separation techniques known in the art, such as centrifugation or filtration. The solid / fibrous portion is purified and at least 10% wood pulp made from wood fibers refined with pulp, and an optional second binder such as alginate (eg sodium alginate), guar, xanthan, acacia, pectin, Mix with other gums, modified cellulose compounds and hydrocolloid compounds. This solid / fibrous tobacco, wood pulp and optional second binder mixture are then made into platelets via papermaking methods known in the art.

On the other hand, the extract is optionally treated with a special adsorbent to selectively remove unnecessary components. The extract is then centrifuged and the constituents containing the adsorbent are removed. Again, the extract is concentrated. First binders such as alginates (eg sodium alginate), guar, xanthan, acacia, pectin, other gums, modified cellulose compounds and hydrocolloidal compounds are added to the extract. In addition, moisturizers such as glycerin and propylene glycol can be added for up to 30% by weight of the mixture for flexibility of the sheet, usually before the addition of the binder and any further flavoring agent. In addition, the desired flavor can also be added to the extract.

This new extraction mixture is then applied again to the preformed leaflets. Optionally, a third binder mixed solution such as alginate (e.g. sodium alginate), guar, xanthan, acacia, pectin, other gums, modified cellulose compounds and hydrocolloid-based compounds is pressed and / or sprayed onto the leaflet Can be. The leaflets can then be dried and then divided into elongate strips of the desired width and wound on bobbins. The elongate strip may be used as a longitudinally developing strip along the outer periphery of the tobacco rod and along the inner side of the outer paper wrap.

In a preferred mixture, tobacco is up to about 80 wt% (wt%); Wood pulp is about 80 wt% or less, preferably about 60 wt% or less; The binder is about 30 wt% or less, preferably about 20 wt% or less; And when the flavourant is added, the flavourant is about 30 wt% or less, preferably about 3 wt% to about 5 wt%.

The following example illustrates the subsequent procedure in the manufacture of a platelet with a binder for use in a smoking article.

Example 2

In the manufacturing process of platelets, 500 pounds of a mixture of tobacco and wood pulp (1: 3 to 3: 1 ratio) was extracted with 750 gallons of water for 30 to 45 minutes in a mixing vessel at 140 ° C to 190 ° C. After extraction, the mixture was separated into solid (fiber) and liquid (extract) streams by centrifugation, filtration or pressing.

The liquid extract was concentrated by vacuum evaporation and thoroughly mixed with 60 pounds of glycerin. In a separate vessel, 40 pounds of sodium alginate was sufficiently dispersed in 135 gallons of water to prepare an alginate solution. The concentrated extract mixed with glycerin was then thoroughly mixed with the alginate solution. If desired, the liquid extract was gently stirred with 75 pounds of solid adsorbent powder such as bentonite (diatomaceous earth), carbon, cyclodextrin, cellulose acetate, or mixtures thereof for 20 to 45 minutes to selectively remove nitrogen and other unnecessary components. . After stirring, the adsorbent was removed from the extract by centrifugation. The extract was then concentrated and treated with glycerin and alginate as described above.

Solid streams, on the other hand, were fed into the purifier to refine the fibers into tobacco-wood pulp. This pulp was then used to prepare and dry the base sheet on a Fourdriner paper machine wire. Any two concentrated extracts as prepared previously were then added back to the base sheet via size pressing or spraying. The finished sheet was finally dried, split into strips, and then wound onto bobbins for use as the split inner wrap.

Example 3

The sheets were prepared and partitioned as described in Example 2 except that the alginate solution was added directly to the base sheet instead of mixing with the concentrated extract. In addition, 25 pounds of precipitated chalk or chitosan (inorganic or organic inert filler) was added to the purified pulp mixture prior to preparing the base sheet on the long steel paper machine wire. Other inert fillers include liposan and mixtures of chalk, chitosan and lipoic acid.

It is obvious that the present invention is not limited by the above specific embodiments because the variables described in the above embodiments can be varied by appropriately changing the content of the constituents belonging to the leaflet mixture used in the examples.
