Definitions

  • Tobacco used for making oral products is often ground using standard grinding techniques or finely cut.
  • the tobacco is ground to a usable size, typically anywhere from 20 mesh to 400 mesh and incorporated into an oral tobacco product. Particles of the desired size are separated during the grinding process from those particles that are too large or too small. Particles, such as dust or fines, that are too small are often discarded resulting in a great deal of waste.
  • an oral pouched tobacco product including a portion of a tobacco material and extruded tobacco material in the form of beads.
  • the tobacco material is preferably ground, and includes particles ranging in size from between about 20 mesh and 400 mesh.
  • the tobacco beads are formed from tobacco dust and fines, water, optionally a binder, and optionally flavorants, and can be formed in any appropriate size.
  • the tobacco bead (tobacco fines in a rounded, spheroid, or sphere shape which hereinafter are collectively referenced as a bead) is a flavor-releasing component that is dispersed throughout the tobacco material of the oral pouched tobacco product.
  • each tobacco bead is tobacco fines, and more preferably from about 30 wt % to about 65 wt % of each tobacco bead is tobacco fines.
  • tobacco beads which do not include a binder additive preferably about 50 wt % to 100 wt % of the tobacco beads is tobacco fines, more preferably 90 wt % to 100 wt % of the tobacco beads is tobacco fines.
  • MCC microcrystalline cellulose
  • the MCC can be derived from bacterial, yeast, or plant sources or obtained from any commercial or pharmaceutical source.
  • a preferred binder is sugar beet fibers such as Fibrex® obtainable from Danisco A/S of Copenhagen, Denmark.
  • Other cellulosic material may also be incorporated into the beads. Combination of MCC grades and of different cellulosic materials are also contemplated in the formation of tobacco beads.
  • the tobacco beads can be dispersed throughout a tobacco material to create an inner material that may be included in a pouch to create a snus.
  • the tobacco beads and tobacco material may be combined to create a loose, oral tobacco product.
  • FIG. 1 is an illustration of a pouched, oral tobacco product including tobacco beads.
  • FIG. 2 is an illustration of a cross-sectional view of a tobacco bead including a coating.
  • the oral tobacco product including tobacco beads.
  • the oral tobacco product may be a loose tobacco product or a pouched tobacco product.
  • the pouched tobacco product is sized and configured to fit comfortably in a user's mouth.
  • the pouched tobacco product has dimensions of less than about 2 inches.
  • a pouched, oral tobacco product 50 includes an inner material.
  • the inner material includes a portion of a tobacco material 12 and at least one tobacco bead 14 enclosed in a pouch 55 .
  • Preferably multiple tobacco beads 14 are dispersed throughout the tobacco material 12 to form the inner material that is enclosed within the porous membrane that forms the pouch.
  • the pouch 55 is formed from a porous, polymeric, organic, or food grade material.
  • the pouch material may be a web of cellulose fiber of the sort used to form tea-bags.
  • the porous membrane maintains sufficient structural integrity during the time period that the pouch 55 is used so that the inner material is retained therein.
  • the porous membrane may be dissolvable or disintegrable and composed of soluble polymers.
  • flavorants may be added to the porous membrane to provide additional flavor to the user.
  • the pouch 55 may be sized and configured for comfortable placement in a user's mouth between the cheek and gum.
  • the pouch 55 may have a square, rectangle, circular, moon, crescent, or oblong shape. Preferably, sharp corners are avoided as sharp corners may lead to oral discomfort.
  • the pouch 55 is sealed around one or more edges to contain the inner material within the pouch material.
  • the pores in the pouch material allow flavors to diffuse through the material and into the user's mouth.
  • the tobacco beads 14 are solid tobacco beads made of an agglomeration of tobacco fines and water.
  • the tobacco beads 14 may also include one or more flavorants 16 .
  • the tobacco beads 14 include a binder 18 .
  • the tobacco beads 14 do not include a binder.
  • the tobacco fines preferably have an average particle diameter suitable for forming a wet tobacco mixture which can be formed into tobacco beads.

  • Ground tobacco for inclusion in snus typically ranges from about 20 mesh to about 60 mesh. Particles of less than about 60 mesh tend to go airborne during pouching operations, thereby wasting tobacco and creating cleanliness issues during pouching operations. Thus, tobacco particles below 60 mesh are preferably separated out prior to pouching. These particles, which would otherwise be waste, can be formed into tobacco beads using the processes described herein.
  • mesh values are reported herein as United States standard sieve and those values reflect the ability of more than 95% of the particles of a given size to pass through a screen of a given mesh value. In that connection, mesh values reflect the number of mesh holes for each inch of screen.
  • the tobacco beads 14 can be prepared using known extrusion and spheronization processes for producing pharmaceutical pellets and flavored beads such as the techniques described in commonly owned U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2007/0000505, filed on Feb. 22, 2006, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • one method of making the beads 14 includes mixing tobacco fines with water to form a uniform wet mass and adding optional flavorants. The wet mass is then forced through an extruder to form strands of extrudate. The extrudate is broken into short strands and spheronized to form wet spheres.
  • the tobacco beads can be spheronized from the extrudate by using an LCI QJ-230T Marumerizer at a suitable rotation speed (e.g., 1200 RPM) for a suitable time (e.g., 10 minutes).
  • a suitable rotation speed e.g. 1200 RPM
  • a suitable time e.g. 10 minutes

  • Tobacco utilization is improved by separating the tobacco particles of finer size (finer than 60 mesh or finer than 40 mesh) from those of the desired range of particle size (i.e., larger than 60 mesh or larger than 40 mesh), forming the finer-sized tobacco into agglomerated tobacco fines as taught hereinabove, and recombining the agglomerates and the tobacco particles in the oral pouched tobacco products.
  • the tobacco fines may be utilized instead of being discarded, and the difficulties associated with tobacco fines, such as their tendency to escape from pouches during feeding operations or otherwise causing dusting, impact on product appearance and/or impact on cleanliness during manufacturing operations, are abated.
