Definitions

  • the present invention relates to particulate flavored-material and more particularly to particulate flavored materials comprising a flavor dispersed in or otherwise entrapped within an edible matrix that can be used to release favors and aromas in a controlled manner in consumer products, including tobacco, and methods for preparing and using the same.
  • Flavor encapsulation is employed to protect flavors from degradation, to produce flavoring materials that may be dispersed in bulk commodities, and to produce flavoring materials with modified release characteristics. Volatile oils, perfumes, food extracts and other flavor modifiers have been successfully encapsulated and employed in a variety of consumer products. Flavor encapsulation has been achieved using a number of technologies, including spray drying, pan coating, spray coating, fluidized beds, chemical encapsulation and comminution. Particulate flavor composites may consist of shell-core constructs, multi-lamellar vesicles, or as dispersions of flavor molecules or droplets in a matrix, as well as other types of particles. Other methods include molecular inclusion in cyclodextrin, granulation and coacervation. A variety of materials are employed to encapsulate flavors, including gelatin, mixed lipids and sweeteners (U.S. Pat. No. 4,803,082), polymerized acrylic materials (U.S. Pat. No. 3,520,949) and starches.
  • compositions have been proposed for use as flavoring materials, and methods have been disclosed for the production of flavor and other core material encapsulation. Both hydrophilic and hydrophobic compositions have been reported. Sorbitol, mannitol, saccharin, sugar and starch hydrolysate, maltose, malto-dextrin, corn syrup solids, maltose syrup solids, high fructose corn syrup solids, starches, hydrocolloids, gums, proteins, partially hydrolyzed proteins, modified proteins, modified hydrocolloids, modified celluloses, gelatinized cereal solids, whey proteins and alginates are examples of the hydrophilic materials that have been proposed as coating materials in the prior art.

  • the procedure consists of preparing a eutectic mixture heating the mixture of the components to a temperature of about 200 degrees C. and than cooling the same to 70 degrees C. Obviously, the high temperature employed may adversely affect flavor stability, volatilization and encapsulation efficiency.

  • the patent includes extrusion and grinding of the matter, as well. A large particle size, high water content and low flavor content are the disadvantages of the aforementioned invention.
  • Encapsulation of a flavor or active agent in a similar matrix is claimed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,756,136.

  • U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,949,094 and 3,949,096 show a process for preparing various flavorings, colorants, and flavor enhancers coated with a mixture of fats and emulsifiers. Here, the process consists of spraying flavors and condiments that are intercepted by a second, impinging spray containing the edible coating materials. These processes require the use of multiple spray configurations, and afford relatively low flavor encapsulation efficiency, the particles consisting primarily of excipient materials.

  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,675,236 reveals a process for coating mono-core type shell-core microcapsules with waxes.
  • the mono-core type material is formed by spray drying or pulverizing bulk core material, and the core materials are then immersed in a wax solution, followed by vacuum drying.
  • the product is then introduced together with air or nitrogen gas into a melting and cooling chamber, giving rise to a final wax-coated product with a smooth surface and a shape similar to that of the underlying core particle.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 3,856,699 describes a process for producing capsules encased in walls of a waxy material.

  • U.S. Pat. No. 3,764,346 discloses a process for preparing spray dried materials that may be employed as flavor enhancers.
  • Wedral et al. describe a process for making flavored, free flowing particulates, which comprises mixing an oil soluble flavor with a melted edible fat in a reaction vessel to form a solution of the oil soluble flavor in the melted fat, cooling the solution, adding a cooling or super-cooling agent with agitation to produce solid particles having an average diameter of from about 0.1 to 10 cm, or grinding these particles with a supercooling agent in a grinder or blender to produce substantially free flowing particulate flavor whose particles have an average diameter of less than 1 mm.
  • Wedral et al. note that the use of a super-cooling agent is necessary to produce particles with an average diameter of less than 1 mm, as the materials are otherwise too sticky and adherent to be properly ground.
  • Tan et al. reveals a method for making controlled release flavors.

  • the process may require a spray chiller to produce the particles, and produces a composition containing a number of excipients, including emulsifiers and conditioning agents, as well as the flavor itself.
  • the present invention may be practiced using a simple casting and grinding method that does not require chilling, or by a simple aqueous emulsion cooling method using simple agitation equipment.
  • the present invention may be practiced, and desired release characteristics achieved, using a flavor and a single GRAS matrix material.
  • plasticizers and emulsifiers the plasticizing properties of methyl salicylate itself might be advantageously used in the formulation, further underscoring the simplicity of the present method by obviating the need for additional plasticizing agents.
  • Particle size may be controlled using simple adjustments to the grinding-sieving process, or by simple alterations to the aqueous emulsion agitation speed, cooling method and emulsifier concentration. Percent flavor loading is possible across a wide range simply by increasing or decreasing the amount of flavor incorporated into the molten matrix material. The flavor release rate, and the resistance of the particles to water imbibition and hydrolysis, may be controlled by changing the matrix material and/or the particle size. Additional advantages of the present invention include the lack of organic solvents, and the use of inexpensive materials and unsophisticated equipment.

  • methyl salicylate-loaded wax particles have been produced by dispersion of a molten wax-methyl salicylate solution in hot aqueous ethanol with rapid agitation and cooling.
  • Self-emulsified cetyl alcohol particles prepared from aqueous emulsions also give relatively steady, sustained delivery.
  • Flavored cetyl alcohol particles, combined with neat methyl salicylate dispersed in tobacco, offer another alternative flavoring method.
  • Fused solid dispersions have been employed throughout the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries in a variety of applications, including the storage and controlled release of flavors, fragrances and other actives.
  • Fused dispersions also referred to as ‘melts’ or ‘solid solutions’, are made by blending a component, such as methyl salicylate, into molten GRAS materials at moderate temperatures. The molten solution may be molded, extruded, sprayed as a coating or spray-cooled into particles. The cooled fusate may also be molded, punched or milled into particles.
  • Fused dispersions may be prepared from many self-emulsifying materials, and require little or no additional solvents or excipients. Since minimal excipients are desirable in any sustained-release flavor preparation, fused dispersions have been explored as a possible formulation method.
  • a series of GRAS carrier materials were selected and evaluated as potential matrices for producing methyl salicylate-loaded particles for controlled sustained delivery.
  • Dental-grade paraffin, cetyl alcohol and its carboxylate analog, palmitic acid, PEG 8000 and cholesterol were employed in these initial studies. All of these edible materials are routinely incorporated into foods and oral preparations. These materials were selected in order to compare the influence of chemical structure, including the presence of hydrogen bond donors and/or acceptors, hydrophilic and hydrophobic functions and the sterol backbone on release performance. All of these materials will mix and melt with methyl salicylate and form solid dispersions. However, at methyl salicylate concentrations beyond ca. 20% w/w, the fusates tend to become tacky, smearing semi-solids. Accordingly, 20% w/w was chosen as the methyl salicylate concentration for the initial particle studies.
  • FIG. 1 A flow diagram of the fusate production process is shown in FIG. 1 .
  • the fusates were then assayed for methyl salicylate content and homogeneous distribution by randomly sampling round ‘punches’ with a 6 mm cork borer and dissolving each ‘punch,’ normalized by weight, in methanol.
  • the methanol solutions were then assayed for methyl salicylate and salicylic acid content by reverse phase HPLC with UV detector.
  • Methyl salicylate content was nearly quantitative (20% w/w) in each preparation. Notably, although the scent of methyl salicylate was evident, each material appeared to have a high affinity for methyl salicylate. No significant weight loss was noted from any fusate, even after 72 hours under reduced pressure. Methyl salicylate remains stable under these processing conditions, as no salicylic acid was detected by HPLC in any fused dispersion.

  • Fused paraffin melts at approximately 60° C., with changes in heat capacity around 40° C. and 60° C.
  • the paraffin-methyl salicylate dispersion ( FIG. 2 ) shows a broadened change in heat capacity and a modest melting point reduction, suggesting a tendency for methyl salicylate to interact with linear aliphatic molecules.
  • thermograms A similar change in thermograms was noted for fused cetyl alcohol ( FIG. 3 ), a long chain aliphatic alcohol, and the cetyl alcohol-methyl salicylate dispersion ( FIG. 4 ).
  • methyl salicylate has a greater tendency to interact with hydroxyl-containing compounds than with those containing a carboxylate group
  • Fused PEG 8000 ( FIG. 7 ) and the PEG 8000-methyl salicylate dispersion ( FIG. 8 ) show similar thermal properties, with only a very modest change in the heat capacity of PEG 8000, and a modest broadening in the peak, suggesting an interaction between methyl salicylate and PEG.
  • methyl salicylate may interact with a variety of matrix materials, suggesting the possibility that methyl salicylate might mix with or otherwise be incorporated into matrices comprising certain materials employed in these studies.
  • flavor-pak Individual flavor reservoirs or some other type of ‘flavor-pak’ might be included in a snuff can or in a snuff pouch for sustained flavor release. Alternatively, snuff might be incorporated directly into such a flavored matrix in order to make a buccal pellet.
  • a reservoir or pellet might be comprised of a tablet, a punch or some other flavor-matrix mass. Accordingly, an initial evaluation of the release characteristics of methyl salicylate from the solid dispersions was performed using fused punches. These punches, rather similar to a tablet, were prepared by removing a uniform, 6 mm diameter disc from a 2 mm thick solid dispersion produced as described in the scheme of FIG. 1 .
  • the punches uniform in size and surface area, were homogeneous in methyl salicylate content (20% w/w). Normalized for weight, the punches were placed in a 20 mL glass vial, and 10 mL artificial saliva (see p. 30, para. 3; Na et al.) was gently added with slow stirring at 37° C. At the indicated time point, a 1 mL aliquot part of the artificial saliva was removed for assay and replaced with 1 mL of fresh artificial saliva, thereby simulating a sink condition. The sample was dissolved in 4 mL 50% methanol to ensure dissolution, and then assayed for methyl salicylate content by HPLC, and cumulative release was calculated after correcting for volume.
  • the PEG 8000 pellet primarily comprised of a hydrophilic polymer, rapidly dissolved into a wet mass in the vial. Not surprisingly, methyl salicylate release was most rapid from the PEG 8000 punch. A burst of flavor release was noted within the first few minutes of dissolution.
  • PEG a well-known hydrotrope and wetting agent with significant surface active properties, may be useful for providing a flavor burst in a methyl salicylate formulation, or as a burst coating on a delayed-release composition.
  • Flavor-loaded matrix particles which might be dispersed into loose, tinned snuff, offer another option for sustained-release delivery. Size, color and texture could be optimized for flavor delivery and consumer acceptance. The larger surface area-to-volume ratio of particles may offer more rapid flavor release.
  • several methods are available for the production of such particles, including comminution of a solid dispersion, spraying molten solutions and various emulsion technologies.
  • a series of methyl salicylate particles were produced by grinding the cooled solid dispersions previously described in a glass mortar and pestle, then passing the particles through standard testing sieves. Light microscopy revealed that the particles that were ground and sieved to a fraction between 75 and 250 ⁇ m in size were generally fractured and irregular in shape. The particles were assessed for methyl salicylate content and homogeneity by HPLC. The grinding did not affect the properties of the particles.
  • the cholesterol-methyl salicylate fusate could not be comminuted and sieved into discrete particles. Thus, it was not further evaluated as a particle matrix. Instead, a 1:1 w/w mixture of two of the other matrix materials, cetyl alcohol and PEG 8000, was used instead.
  • a flow diagram of the flavored particle production process is provided in the scheme of FIG. 11 a.
  • Dissolution studies analogous to those described for the punches, were then performed. Because the particles are buoyant, and in order to model the ‘cheek and gum’ structure of snuff held in the mouth, the particles (50 mg, 10 mg methyl salicylate equivalent) were first sandwiched between two layers of inert glass beads (1 mm): The beads tended to keep the particles in place in a defined layer. At the same time, artificial saliva freely flowed through the Plateau border channels between the beads on both sides of the particle layer, in a manner analogous to saliva flow in the buccal pouch. These dissolution apparatuses, illustrated in FIG. 12 , were also used for the tobacco studies and flash melt film studies described in later sections.
  • the dissolution apparatus consists of a 20 mL glass vial containing 10 mL artificial saliva and two 1 gram layers of glass beads, between which may be sandwiched a layer of particles, a flash melt film, a wad of tobacco, or another dosage form.
  • Methyl salicylate release from the fused particles is summarized in FIG. 13 .
  • cetyl alcohol-PEG 8000 composite afforded an initial burst of methyl salicylate, followed by release that was slower than methyl salicylate itself.
  • This combination may be particularly useful for manufacturing composite particles with both characteristics. It may be possible to minimize the use of additional excipients simply by manufacturing these composite particles in various cetyl alcohol/PEG ratios.
  • the film may cause a diffusion rate limited release of methyl salicylate.
  • PEG tobacco dispersions may retard flavor release has potential in more advanced sustained-release applications.
  • PEG provides a formulation challenge, as its high affinity for water, and the high water content of tobacco (55%), may compromise particle integrity, and thus flavor encapsulation, on product storage.
  • the mechanical comminution of solid dispersions is a ready way to produce particles.
  • mechanically processed particles may be irregular in shape, as demonstrated in the previous Example.
  • polymorphic changes may be induced during the size reduction process.
  • Solid dispersions produced by cooling melted matrix emulsions may be another useful means for producing methyl salicylate-loaded particles.
  • lipophilic compounds tend to minimize interfacial surface area and surface free energy by spontaneously forming spheres.
  • the liquid oil phase droplets solidify, producing discrete spherical particles.
  • shearing method and auxiliary surfactants employed during the emulsification process uniform, spherical particles are readily and reproducibly manufactured.
  • Sophisticated flavor emulsions and microencapsulated systems have been manufactured using a variety of emulsion techniques.
  • one goal of the research completed to date has been to produce sustained-release flavor matrices while using a minimum of excipients.
  • the GRAS materials employed in the previous Examples were assessed for their capacity to form flavor-loaded particles using the melting-cooling emulsion technique without additional excipients.
  • PEG was not evaluated in these aqueous emulsion studies, as it is readily dissolved in water. Future PEG emulsion studies may be performed in an appropriate antisolvent.
  • FIG. 14 a provides a diagram of the procedure employed for producing flavored particles from aqueous dispersions.
  • Cetyl alcohol was the only matrix material that formed suitable particles under these minimal conditions. The others tended to form large agglomerates and sheets that varied substantially in size and shape. Thus, cetyl alcohol was chosen as the model emulsion matrix material. In order to determine the maximum loading capacity of cetyl alcohol, analogous experiments were conducted using increasing amounts of methyl salicylate. As summarized in Table 1, methyl salicylate incorporation into the cetyl alcohol particles was nearly quantitative up to about 33% w/w, beyond which the material became soft and gel-like.
  • Methyl salicylate remained stable throughout the process, as no salicylic acid was detected when the particles were assayed for methyl salicylate content and homogeneity. Clearly, more sophisticated emulsion methods could be employed to produce smaller, more uniform particles. Nevertheless, these initial studies demonstrate that spherical methyl salicylate-cetyl alcohol particles may be reproducibly manufactured without excipients using the simplest techniques. Methyl salicylate release from the emulsified cetyl alcohol particles is summarized in FIG. 15 .
  • Tobacco is currently flavored by maceration and coating with methyl salicylate. Combining this method with a sustained-release preparation has produce superior flavor release in experiments completed to date.
  • 250-500 ⁇ m cetyl alcohol particles (20 or 30% w/w, 10 mg methyl salicylate equivalent) were dispersed in 500 mg high dark snuff with or without 10 mg free methyl salicylate and the neat control, and the release experiment was repeated. The results of these experiments are shown in FIG. 16 .
  • Methyl salicylate release from the particles dispersed in tobacco was little changed from that released from the equivalent, free particles, as summarized in FIG. 15 and previously discussed. Methyl salicylate release from the tobacco containing both free and encapsulated methyl salicylate approximated the sum of that released from the particles alone plus that released from the neat control. These data suggest that methyl salicylate release is simply additive when both encapsulated and free methyl salicylate are dispersed in tobacco.
  • methyl salycilate was added to 1 g of melted (65° C.) cetyl alcohol (CA) and 100 mL of deionized water, which were heated at the same temperature, and were the poured over a 60 second time period onto a stirring plate while under vigorous agitation. The dispersion was cooled to room temperature, and the formed particles were collected by filtration, were washed with cold water and were air-dried overnight.
  • CA cetyl alcohol
  • the melted internal phase (2 g of CA and the needed amount of methyl salycilate) are injected via a plastic syringe into 400 mL of deionized water (with or without surfactant) heated at 65° C. and agitated with mechanical stirring. After injection the heating was discontinued and the dispersion was allowed to cool at room temperature. Particles were recovered by filtration, were washed with 3 L of deionized water and were dried under vacuum overnight (15 mm Hg). The different preparations performed with Example 5 are reported in Table 3, while the particle size of the batch number 6 is shown in FIG. 17 .
  • Batch 9 differs from Batches 6, 7 and 8 only in the processing (Example 6 instead of Example 5).
  • the rapid cooling in ice bath substantially increases the encapsulation efficiency up to ⁇ 60%, leading to an actual content close to 15%.
  • Assays were made to enhance the active content even though 15% can be considered suitable.
  • By increasing the target loading it was possible to achieve an actual loading of ⁇ 23% (batch 10 in Table 4).
  • the following in vitro release method was used. A weighed amount of particles was placed in a 20 mL scintillation vial filled with 10 mL of artificial saliva and stirred with a magnetic bar. At predetermined time points, 1 mL of media was carefully withdrawn using a 1 mL syringe provided with a 0.2 ⁇ m filter. The fresh media was added through the same filter in order to recover all the particles previously stopped on the filter. The filter was validated before utilization. Release was performed at 37° C. at a stirring rate of 150 rpm.
  • the artificial saliva was composed of the following: Sodium chloride, 0.844 g; potassium chloride, 1.200 g; calcium chloride dihydrate, 0.193 g; magnesium chloride hexahydrate, 0.111 g; potassium phosphate dibasic, 0.342 g; and water to make to 1000 ml.
  • the pH was adjusted with hydrochloric acid solution to pH 5.7 ⁇ 0.1.
  • FIG. 18 An example of the release profile of the particles of Batch 9b is given in FIG. 18 .
  • the in vitro release study was performed in triplicate.
  • the 3 release profiles are practically overlaying one another, proving a good reproducibility of the employed method and an homogeneity of the particles in the Batch. Only about 50% of the initial content was found in the release media. This may be explained by hypothesizing some methyl salicylate loss during the sampling process that could be avoided using more appropriate headspace sampling techniques (i.e., static or dynamic headspace sampling).
  • Cethyl alcohol crystals should be less ordered in the particles with respect to the raw material because of the addition of methyl salicylate behaving as an impurity in the crystal lattice.
  • the storage allows crystals to reorganize better, provoking a squeezing effect on the encapsulated flavor.
  • the partial localization of the flavor on particle surface, due to the high active content, should be accounted for, as well. The same behavior was not observed for formulations of Batches 9 and 10.
  • the first attempt to scale up was to a batch size of 15 g. 10 g of cetyl alcohol and 5 g of methyl salicylate were melted (65° C.) and injected into 2 L of deionized water, containing 0.35% of poly (vinyl alcohol), heated at 65° C. under agitation with mechanical stirring (500 rpm). 5 minutes after injection the heating was discontinued and the dispersion was cooled using an ice bath. Particles were recovered by filtration, washed with 6 L of deionized water and dried under vacuum overnight (15 mm Hg). Characteristics of the obtained particles are reported in Table 5.
  • Particles showed a mean flavor content of 13.8 ⁇ 1.1% and an encapsulation efficiency of 41.6 ⁇ 3.2%; while the preparation method had a yield of 86.9 ⁇ 2.8%.
  • the high reproducibility of the method is proven by the low standard deviations obtained for both the encapsulation efficiency and the product yield (Table 5).
  • FIG. 19 shows the release profiles (performed in duplicate) of the 5 Batches reported in Table 5 that were obtained using the release method previously described.
  • the release profiles demonstrate a low intra- and inter-batch variation, again confirming the good method reproducibility.
  • the appearance of the flavor in the release media was limited to the 40-50% of the total amount employed for the study ( FIG. 19 ).
  • mass balance studies were performed. Together with the 2 samples employed in the release study, 2 extra samples for each batch were placed in the same conditions and kept closed. Only one sampling was done at the 60 minute time point. Then the samples (microparticles and release media, 10 mL) were mixed with 30 mL of methanol to dissolve all the methyl salicylate (flavor left in the particles and present in the release media) and assayed at the HPLC. Results of this study are reported in Table 6.
  • the release conditions used for the release should mimic more closely the real life situation (flavor dissolved in the saliva as well as flavor volatilized reaching the olfactory neuroepithelium). Due to the fact that flavor perception is generally described as a combination of taste and smell, the overall yield of a flavor is very difficult to predict even if appropriate headspace sampling techniques (i.e., static or dynamic headspace sampling) are used. In fact, the most straightforward approach is through evaluation by an olfactive panel. Panel evaluations can be carried out directly with the desired consumer product and do not require complex analytical methods. If a sufficient number of panelists is used, the statistical significance of the experiment can be determined.
  • FIG. 20 An example of particle morphology is given in FIG. 20 , which reports optical microscopy pictures of the particles of Batch SB10(5) (Table 5). Optical microscopy show a similar morphology for the particles of the five scaled Batches. Pictures show a capsule-like morphology that is likely obtained when oil is encapsulated.
