- Moist snuff and other tobacco products presently available on the market are difficult to form. Their formability is very limited which is a drawback for consumers wishing to form a certain amount of tobacco product, preferably moist snuff, into a dainty and inviting piece of tobacco product. Also the water keeping characteristics of the tobacco products of today have drawbacks. Thus it is desirable to be able to provide a method for obtaining an easily formable tobacco product and also a such product with enhanced water keeping characteristics.
- The present invention solves one or more of the above problems by providing according to a first aspect a smoke-less tobacco composition comprising at least one thickening agent. According to second aspect of the invention a method for manufacturing a composition according to the first aspect is provided.
- It is intended throughout the present description that the expression “tobacco raw material” or “tobacco” (used interchangeably in the present description) embrace any tobacco type available or mixtures thereof. Examples of tobacco types are: Rustika, Va., Burley, Oriental and Kentucky. Preferably the tobacco is tobacco in powder form, moist snuff or finely divided tobacco. Most preferred the tobacco is moist snuff produced essentially in accordance with GothiaTek® (trademark owned by Swedish Match) standard. The smoke-less tobacco composition (or smoke-less tobacco product) according to the first aspect of the invention is preferably a chewing tobacco, nose snuff or a moist snuff product, most preferred a moist snuff product. The smoke-less tobacco composition (or smoke-less tobacco product) according to the first aspect of the invention is especially preferred a “snus” or a moist snuff product manufactured in accordance with GothiaTek® standard.

Most preferred mixtures are those comprising xanthan gum. Especially preferred are mixtures comprising a) xanthan gum and galactomannan; and b) Acacia gum and xanthan gum; preferably thickening agents sold under the trade marks Thixogum S™ and Thixogum X™ (trademark owned by Colloides Naturels, Inc) e.g. provided by Kemiflor AB. Especially preferred is Thixogum S™. The thickening agent is preferably added in the form of an aqueous solution or dispersion giving 0.00001-20% (weight) of thickening agent in the end product. The thickening agent is then treated before added to the tobacco as follows: The thickening agent is added, preferably by dusting, into an aqueous solution under heating and vigorous stirring, preferably when a vortex appears in the solution. The thickening agent may also be “dusted” without using a carrier, i.e. a liquid as set out above, into the tobacco. The tobacco is then treated so that a large surface area is available for the thickening agent dust to blend in. The tobacco end product preferably has a content of thickening agent(s) of from 0.00001 to 2% (weight/weight), preferably 0.00001 to 0.6%. The desired characteristics of the end product may also be amplified by adding compounds comprising potassium and/or calcium-ions.
- “Snus”, i.e. one example of a moist snuff, produced in accordance with GothiaTek® standard is manufactured using essentially the following method set out below: The moist snuff is made from selected tobaccos, salts, humectants and flavour additives. The moist snuff is made from mainly air cured tobaccos. Traditionally fire-cured tobacco may also be used. Tobacco may be purchased from North and South America, Asia and also from a few countries in Africa and Europe. Tobacco samples are taken already in the farmers barns and sent to laboratories for analysis. When making “snus” the main ingredients except for tobacco are normally water, salt (table salt; NaCl) and sodium carbonate. Flavour additives and humectants may also be used. However in the present invention one or more thickening agents are added to the tobacco composition, preferably a moist snuff composition. Salt is added mainly for its effect on taste but also has a preservative action which contributes to improved shelf life of the products. Sodium carbonate is used to give the products their characteristic flavour profile but also brings the pH value to the slightly alkaline side. Sodium carbonate will convert to baking soda immediately after it is added. Flavour additives in general are natural or artificial flavour compounds that comply with food regulations. Flavours are usually dissolved in alcohol when added. Most of the alcohol evaporates during production. Only trace quantities remain. Humectants may also be added to protect the products from drying out. Two types may be used: glycerol and propylene glycol. Both of them also have a preservative effect since they lower the water activity of the product, thus preventing microorganisms from growing.
- The moist snuff is manufactured in three major steps, a) grinding (cutting), b) processing and c) packing (see also FIG. 1).
- a) Grinding, Sieving
- The tobacco is broken up, dried and fed into a grinder. The ground tobacco is sieved into three particle size fractions, coarse, medium and fine. Pre-set quantities of the three fractions are fed into a mixer silo where the tobacco flour is mixed. After blending, the tobacco flour is fed into a storage silo, from which flour is automatically taken to the processing operation. Each type of tobacco flour is kept in a separate silo.
- b) Processing
- Manufacturing of moist snuff is preferably done in a batch operation. The whole process may be computer controlled and can be run day and night, all week around. To start the process, tobacco flour is automatically weighed and fed into the process blender. Water and salt is added to the batch under stirring. The batch is then heated and kept heated up for a specified time, which varies with brands. Temperature and stirring is preferably controlled by a process computer program. This part of the process is traditionally named “sweating” but is more close to a pasteurisation process. After pasteurisation the moist snuff batch is cooled down and the rest of the ingredients are added. The thickening agent may be added, in accordance with the present invention, at any time during the above processing steps. The thickening agent(s) is (are) preferably added at the end of the processing. The thickening agent(s) is (are) further preferably added in the form of a solution as set out above. The power of the mixing and the time period for the mixing may be crucial for obtaining an optimal product. Some of the above mentioned water may be used to form an aqueous solution of the thickening agent before adding said agent to the tobacco during the above process. This may enhance the water keeping characteristics of the end product, preferably a moist snuff. The water-binding characteristics of the thickening agent(s) may also reduce the microbiological growth.
- c) Packing of Loose Moist Snuff
- Containers, preferably cans, may be filled in automatic filling machines. Filled cans are preferably sealed with a lid. After lidding all cans are weighed on a check-weigher, which also regulates the filling volume of the cans. Then the cans may be labelled in a labelling machine, shrink-sealed in a distribution pack and packed in cases.
- Packaging Material
- Paraffin coated cardboard cans or plastic cans may preferably be used for most loose moist snuff and obviously also for “snus”. The lids are preferably made of polypropylene. For the pouch products cans may be used which are made of polypropylene. Pouch products are more sensitive to drying than loose moist snuff so plastic cans help to increase shelf life of these products.
