Definitions

  • a smoking mixture comprising a smoke-producing substrate (particularly a tobacco substitute or a blend with tobacco) fortified by nicotine and a substance producing acidic matter in the smoke to counteract chokiness. Volatile acids, or substances pryolysing to volatile acids or weak base salts may be used.
  • PATENTEDAPRZZISTS 3,878.850 snmsggg SMOKING MIXTURE This invention relates to smoking mixtures and more particularly to smoking mixtures fortified with nicotine.
  • the smoke produced by smoking mixtures fortified with nicotine, particularly when used in cigarettes is unacceptably irritant.
  • irritancy The irritancy caused by nicotine fortification will hereinafter be referred to as "chokiness. Nicotine in the smoke from flue-cured Virginia tobacco alone does not have this defect of chokiness.
  • a method of measuring the pH of whole tabacco smoke is disclosed in a paper by Sensabaugh and Cundiff in Tabacco Science VI page 25 and a similar method may be used for smoke from other substrates.
  • an improved smoking mixture comprises a smoke-producing substrate fortified by nicotine and containing also a substance which upon smoking of the mixture produces acidic matter in the smoke, whereby to reduce the chokiness thereof.
  • the invention is of value with natural or artificial smoke-producing substrates or mixtures thereof. it is particularly valuable with smoke-producing substrates containing modified carbohydrate manufactured by the process described and claimed in our United Kingdom Pat. No. l,l l3,979, i.e. by subjecting carbohydrate to a catalysed degradation process, for example at a temperature of l to 250C until the weight of the degraded carbohydrate is less than 90 percent of the weight of the original carbohydrate. More particularly the invention is of especial value with smoke-producing substrates containing modified cellulose manufactured by heating a-cellulose at l00-250C in presence of ammonium sulphamate. Another valuable substrate for use in the invention is that described and claimed in our United Kingdom Patent application No.
  • 2270/69 comprising a solid condensate produced by acid or base catalysed condensation of a compound of the formula R COCH CH COR (l) (optionally produced in situ from a precursor thereof) wherein R and R which may be the same or different. each represents hydrogen or an alkyl, hydroxyalkyl or formyl group said condensate being fabricated with the aid of a filmforming agent into a form from which a tobacco simulating material can be produced.
  • Other smokeproducing substrates which may be used in the invention are those based on various carbohydrates e.g. cellulose or on carboxymethyl cellulose or oxidised cellulose as the fuel. Tobaccos fortified by additional nicotine can similarly be employed.
  • the invention is of particular value with substrates comprising blends of tobacco with artificial smokeproducing substrates since these frequently require fortification with nicotine in order that the smoker may receive a degree of satisfaction comparable to that received from tobacco itself.
  • Blends containing up to 80 percent of tobacco are particularly amenable.
  • the substance producing acidic matter in the smoke is an organic acid which is either volatile or steam-volatile and thus passes into the smoke directly, or pyrolyses on heating to produce a volatile or steam-volatile acid.
  • Volatile acids are for example formic, acetic, propionic.
  • Acids which pyrolyse to produce volatile acids are for example lactic, malic and maleic acids.
  • the pyrolyses of lactic and malic acids are disclosed in a paper by K. R. Geisinger, T. C. Jones and l. Schmeltz, Tobacco Science 89. p.65-66, June [970.
  • the substance producing acidic matter is a neutral substance which pyrolyses to produce acidic matter.
  • neutral substances are starch. fructose, glucose and esters particularly glyceryl esters e.g. glycerol mono-. dior tri-acetate, tributyrate, trioleate. tripalmitate.
  • the substance producing acidic matter is a salt of a weak nitrogenous base (e.g. ammonia) with a strong acid (e.g. sulphuric or hydrochloric acid).
  • a weak nitrogenous base e.g. ammonia
  • a strong acid e.g. sulphuric or hydrochloric acid
  • the quantity of the substance producing acidic matter should be sufficient to counteract the effect of the nicotine in producing chokiness and it will be clear that the necessary quantity will depend directly upon the amount of added nicotine in the smoking mixture and, in cases where pyrolysis is necessary, upon the extent to which this occurs in the process of smoking. Generally the proportion of the substance producing acidic matter will not exceed twice the proportion by weight of the fortifying nicotine. Proportions by weight of fortifying nicotine will not usually exceed 5 percent.
  • the smoking mixtuze of the invention may, if desired. contain other materials which are common constituents of smoking mixtures, for example glow-promoting catalysts, materials to improve ash coherence and colour, flavourants and medicaments.
  • Cigarettes, cigars and pipe-fillings from the improved smoking mixture of the invention produce less chokiness than corresponding smoking articles from comparable smoking mixtures which do not contain the substance producing acidic matter in the smoke.
  • the chokiness may be completely eliminated without introduction of other unpleasant flavour characteristics.
  • FIGS. 1-6 each provide graphical illustrations of the puff-by-puff pH protiles during smoking of cigarettes made from smoking mixtures described in particular examples.
  • the method employed for production of these graphical illustra tions is described by Sensabaugh and Cundiff in Tobacco Science Vl pages 25 to 30. This procedure is an empirical one and the results are comparative only. For this reason no absolute pH scale is marked on the figures.
  • the horizontal line represents in each case the equilibrium pH of the electrode. Acidity increases upwardly.
  • Some of the Examples also include measurements of absolute pH carried out on collected smoke volatiles by the method of Y. Mikami et al.. Science Papers of Japan Monopoly Corporation 1967 Volume III, pages l73-l77. Distilled water was used in these measurements.
  • EXAMPLE l [[60 Parts of a material prepared by heat-treating a-cellulose in the presence of ammonium sulphamate was mixed with l6,l60 parts of water and ground in a disintegrator; 388 parts of glycerol followed by 227 parts of nicotine in 2000 parts water were added to the stirred mix. A dry mixture consisting of 708 parts of calcium carbonate, 2 16 parts of bentonite and 91 parts of ammonium sulphate was then added, followed by 5 l 7 parts of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and 1,230 parts of magnesite and the resultant slurry stirred for at least 1 hour. The slurry was then cast on a drier to give a film with a dry basis weight of 48-52 g./sq. metre.
  • the film was shredded and the shred blended with flue-cured tobacco to give blends containing 70, 60 and 50% of tobacco.
  • the blends were made up in cigarette form and these cigarettes were flavour assessed. No chokiness was reported.

  • FIG. 2 shows comparative puff-by-puff pH profiles of the smoke from these three blends.
