Description

Tabakmischung, sowie eine diese enthaltende Cigarette Tobacco mixture, as well as a cigarette containing them
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Tabakmischung des „American Blend"-Typs mit einem Anteil von bis zu 70 Gew. % an Virginia-Tabaken, bis zu 40 Gew.% an Burley- Tabaken, bis zu 20 Gew.% an Orient-Tabaken und bis zu 5 Gew.% anderer Tabaksorten, wobei diese Tabake bis zu 60 % als Bläh-Tabak vorliegen können, und ferner eine diese Tabakmischung enthaltende Cigarette.The invention relates to a tobacco mixture of the "American Blend" type with a proportion of up to 70 wt.% Of Virginia tobaccos, up to 40 wt.% Of Burley tobaccos, up to 20 wt.% Of Oriental tobaccos and bis to 5% by weight of other types of tobacco, these tobaccos being able to be present as swelling tobacco up to 60%, and furthermore a cigarette containing this tobacco mixture.
Der Anteil an Burley-Tabaken in diesen Tabakmischungen trägt zur Verstärkung des Aromas und des „Charakters" der Cigarette bei, hat aber den Nachteil, dass der Anteil an Nitrosaminen sowohl im Hauptstromrauch als auch im Nebenstromrauch sehr viel mehr als durch die anderen Tabaksorten einer „American Blend"-Cigarette erhöht wird.The proportion of Burley tobaccos in these tobacco blends contributes to the enhancement of the flavor and "character" of the cigarette, but has the disadvantage that the proportion of nitrosamines in both the mainstream smoke and the sidestream smoke is much higher than that of the other tobacco varieties. " American Blend "cigarette is increased.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, bei Tabakmischungen des „American Blend"-Typs und den daraus hergestellten Cigaretten den Anteil an Nitrosaminen zu vermindern.The object of the invention is to reduce the proportion of nitrosamines in tobacco blends of the "American Blend" type and the cigarettes produced therefrom.
Abgesehen von den sogenannten flüchtigen Nitrosaminen, wie N- Nitrosodimethylamin, die durch Pyrolyse nur in Nanogramm-Mengen beim Abrauchen einer Cigarette entstehen, sind die tabakspezifischen Nitrosamine, wie das N'-Nitrosonornicotin (NNN), das Nitrosonornikotinketon bzw. 4-(Methyl- nitrosoamino)-l-(3-pyridyl)-l-butanon (NNK), das N'-Nitrosoanatabin (NAT) und das N'-Nitrosoanabasin (NAB), die in einer Größenordnung von bis zu 10 μg im Hauptstromrauch und in einer etwa 4- bis 10-fache.n Menge im Nebenstromrauch auftreten, als störend anzusehen.Apart from the so-called volatile nitrosamines, such as N-nitrosodimethylamine, which are produced by pyrolysis only in nanogram amounts during smoking of a cigarette, the tobacco-specific nitrosamines, such as N'-nitrosonornicotin (NNN), the nitrosonornikotinketon or 4- (methyl) nitrosoamino) -l- (3-pyridyl) -l-butanone (NNK), N'-nitrosoanatabine (NAT) and N'-nitrosoanabasine (NAB), up to 10 μg in the mainstream smoke and in one about 4 to 10-fold.n amount in the sidestream smoke occur, to be regarded as disturbing.
Da die - im folgenden als TSNA bezeichneten - tabakspezifischen Nitrosamine vorherrschend im Burley-Tabak vorhandenen sind, geht die Erfindung davon aus, nur diesen Anteil der Tabakmischung von den Nitrosaminen zu befreien, der dann unter Beibehaltung seines geschmacklichen „Charakters" mit den anderen Tabak- Komponenten eine geschmacklich unveränderte „American Blend"-Cigarette ergibt. Aus der WO 02/28209 AI ist ein Verfahren bekannt, mit welchem die TSNA durch Adsorption aus einer Lösung von mit Lösungsmittel behandeltem Tabak entfernt werden, wobei die von TSNA befreite oder abgereicherte Lösung entweder zur Herstellung von rekonstituiertem Tabak verwendet oder als Aromakomponente dem unlöslichen Tabak-Rückstand oder einer beliebigen Tabakmischung zugesetzt werden kann. Im einzelnen wird bei diesem im folgenden als TSNA- Adsorptionsverfahren bezeichneten Verfahren wie folgt gearbeitet : Der Tabak, meist Rippen oder Tabakabfalle, wird mit einem vornehmlich aus Wasser bestehenden Lösungsmittel etwa 0,5 bis 6 Stunden bei Temperaturen von 10 bis 100 °C extrahiert; danach wird die vom Tabakmaterial getrennte Lösung eingeengt und mit einem TSNA aufnehmenden Adsorptionsmittel, wie Aktivkohle oder Zeolith, in einer Menge von 5 bis 50 Gew.% bezogen auf die Extraktmenge in Kontakt gebracht. Nach Abtrennung des Adsorptionsmittels wird der von TSNA befreite Extrakt ganz oder teilweise auf das extrahierte Tabakmaterial aufgegeben, welches gegebenenfalls nach einem Papierherstellungsverfahren, z.B. gemäß US 4,182,349, oder mit einem Gießverfahren, z.B. nach US 4,674,519, zu einer Folie aus rekonstituiertem Tabak verarbeitet wird.Since the tobacco-specific nitrosamines, hereinafter referred to as TSNA, are predominantly present in Burley tobacco, the invention assumes that only this proportion of the tobacco mixture is released from the nitrosamines, which then, while retaining its flavor "character" with the other tobacco Components results in a taste-unchanged "American Blend" cigarette. From WO 02/28209 AI a method is known, with which the TSNA are removed by adsorption from a solution of solvent-treated tobacco, the TSNA freed or depleted solution used either for the production of reconstituted tobacco or as an aroma component of the insoluble tobacco Residue or any tobacco blend can be added. In detail, this process is referred to as TSNA adsorption process as follows: The tobacco, usually ribs or tobacco waste is extracted with a solvent consisting primarily of water for about 0.5 to 6 hours at temperatures of 10 to 100 ° C; after that, the solution separated from the tobacco material is concentrated and contacted with a TSNA-receiving adsorbent such as activated carbon or zeolite in an amount of 5 to 50% by weight based on the amount of the extract. After separation of the adsorbent, the extract freed from TSNA is wholly or partly applied to the extracted tobacco material, which is optionally processed by a papermaking process, for example according to US 4,182,349, or by a casting process, for example according to US 4,674,519, to a film of reconstituted tobacco.
Ausgehend von dem oben erwähnten Grundgedanken, nur den Burley-Anteil der Tabakmischung von den tabakspezifischen Nitrosaminen zu befreien, um unter Beibehaltung des geschmacklichen „Charakters" mit den anderen Tabak- Komponenten eine „American Blend"-Cigarette zu erhalten, wird zur Lösung der Aufgabe eine Tabakmischung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 vorgeschlagen, nämlich eine Tabakmischung des „American Blend"-Typs, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass der Burley-Tabak vollständig oder in seinem überwiegendem Anteil (d.h. mehr als 50%) als geschnittene rekonstituierte Tabakfolie vorliegt, die nach dem TSNA-Adsorptionsverfahren erhalten worden ist. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den übrigen Ansprüchen.Based on the above-mentioned basic idea, to free only the Burley portion of the tobacco mixture from the tobacco-specific nitrosamines in order to obtain an "American Blend" cigarette while maintaining the flavor "character" with the other tobacco components, is the solution of the problem a tobacco blend having the features of claim 1, namely an American Blend type tobacco blend characterized in that the Burley tobacco is present in its entirety or in its predominant portion (ie more than 50%) as a cut reconstituted tobacco sheet; which has been obtained by the TSNA adsorption process Advantageous embodiments of the invention are evident from the remaining claims.
Vorzugsweise besteht der Burley-Tabak der rekonstituierten Tabakfolie mindestens zu 60 Gew.% aus der Lamina des Burley-Tabaks. Als Burley-Tabak gelten im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung auch andere air-cured dunklen Tabake, wie „Maryland" oder „Geudertheimer". Vorzugsweise ist die rekonstituierte Tabakfolie entweder bereits bei und/oder nach ihrer Herstellung mit Geruchs-, Geschmacks- und/oder Aromastoffen imprägniert worden.Preferably, the burley tobacco of the reconstituted tobacco sheet is at least 60% by weight of the lamina of Burley tobacco. For the purposes of the present invention, other air-cured dark tobaccos, such as "Maryland" or "Geudertheimer", also count as Burley tobacco. Preferably, the reconstituted tobacco sheet has been impregnated either with and / or after its preparation with odor, flavor and / or flavorings.
Die besten Ergebnisse werden erzielt, wenn die rekonstituierte Tabakfolie nach einem Papierherstellungsverfahren hergestellt worden ist, wobei diese dann mit dem nach dem TSNA-Adsorptionsverfahren erhaltenen Extrakt oder Teilen desselben imprägniert worden ist.The best results are achieved when the reconstituted tobacco sheet has been produced by a papermaking process which has then been impregnated with the extract or parts thereof obtained by the TSNA adsorption process.
Die erfindungsgemäße Tabakmischung kann dem Raucher einmal als Feinschnitt zur Selbstverfertigung von Cigaretten., als Pfeifentabak, aber auch als cigarettenartiges Rauchprodukt und insbesondere als Fabrikcigarette dargeboten werden.The tobacco blend according to the invention can be presented to the smoker once as a fine cut for the self-production of cigarettes., As a pipe tobacco, but also as a cigarette-like smoking product and especially as a factory cigarette.
Überraschenderweise hat sich gezeigt, dass durch die Kombination des TSNA- Adsorptionsverfahren bei ausschließlicher Anwendung für die Burley-Komponente der „American-Blend"-Mischung und der Herstellung eines rekonstituierten Tabaks auf Basis von ausschließlich Burley-Tabak, bei der also eine im wesentlich reine Burley-Tabakfolie erhalten wird, eine Tabakmischung erhalten wird, die einerseits geschmacklich dem üblichen „American-Blend"-Typ entspricht und zum anderen einen erheblich verminderten Gehalt an TSNA im Hauptstromrauch und Nebenstromrauch aufweist, wobei auch eine geringe Absenkung des Nikotingehaltes als vorteilhafter Nebeneffekt auftritt.Surprisingly, it has been found that the combination of the TSNA adsorption process when used exclusively for the Burley component of the "American Blend" blend and the production of a reconstituted tobacco based exclusively on Burley tobacco, ie in which a substantially pure Burley tobacco film is obtained, a tobacco mixture is obtained, on the one hand tastes the usual "American Blend" type and on the other hand has a significantly reduced content of TSNA in the mainstream smoke and sidestream smoke, with a small decrease in the nicotine content occurs as an advantageous side effect ,
Diese überraschende Wirkung tritt insbesondere dann auf, wenn der eingesetzte Burley-Tabak überwiegend, beispielsweise über 60 , Gew.% , aus Lamina besteht, also der Anteil an Rippen und /oder Nebenbestandteilen niedrig gehalten wird.This surprising effect occurs in particular when the burley tobacco used predominantly, for example, more than 60% by weight, consists of lamina, ie the proportion of ribs and / or secondary constituents is kept low.
Abgesehen davon, dass alle übrigen Parameter der erfindungsgemäßen „American- Blend"-Tabakmischung, wie Aschegehalt, Tabak-pH, Säurezahl sowie Stranggewicht und Zugwiderstand in einer Cigarette, gegenüber einer unbehandelten „American-Blend"-Tabakmischung praktisch unverändert sind, ist die Anwendung des TSNA-Adsorptionsverfahrens auf den Anteii von etwa bis 40 Gew.% Burley- Tabak einer „American-Blend"-Tabakmischung und der Einsatz einer von TSNA befreiten reinen Burley-Tabakfolie sehr viel wirtschaftlicher, als wenn die gesamte Tabakmischung nach dem TSNA- Verfahren behandelt wird.Apart from the fact that all other parameters of the "American Blend" tobacco blend according to the invention, such as ash content, tobacco pH, acid value and bead weight and draw resistance in a cigarette, are practically unchanged compared to an untreated "American Blend" tobacco blend, the application is of the TSNA adsorption process to the level of about 40% by weight Burley tobacco of an "American Blend" tobacco blend and use of a TSNA liberated pure Burley tobacco foil much more economically than when the entire tobacco blend is treated by the TSNA process.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von Beispielen erläutert.In the following the invention will be explained by way of examples.
Beispiel 1example 1
Es wurden Filtercigaretten von einer „American-Blend"-Tabakmischung aus 40 Gew.% Burley- und Maryland-Tabaken, 48 Gew.% Virginia-Tabak und 12 Gew.% Orient-Tabak hergestellt und ihre physikalischen Daten, ihre Rauch- und Tabakinhaltstoffe sowie ihr Gehalt an tabakspezifischen Nitrosaminen bestimmt.Filter cigarettes were made from an American Blend tobacco mix of 40% by weight Burley and Maryland tobaccos, 48% by weight Virginia tobacco and 12% by weight Oriental tobacco, and their physical data, their smoke and tobacco ingredients and their content of tobacco-specific nitrosamines determined.
Der gesamte Anteil von 40 Gew.% Burley- und Maryland-Tabaken war analog Beispiel 4 der WO 02/28209 AI mit Wasser als Lösungsmittel und mit Aktivkohle als Adsorptionsmittel nach dem TSNA-Adsorptionsverfahren hergestellt worden, wobei die nach dem Papierherstellungsverfahren erhaltene rekonstituierte Tabakfolie zu Schnitt-Tabak verarbeitet wurde. Als Vergleich dienten Filtercigaretten aus der gleichen „American-Blend"-Tabakmischung, bei welcher herkömmliche Burley- und Maryland-Tabake eingesetzt waren.The total proportion of 40% by weight of Burley and Maryland tobaccos was prepared analogously to Example 4 of WO 02/28209 A1 with water as solvent and with activated carbon as adsorbent according to the TSNA adsorption process, the reconstituted tobacco foil obtained according to the papermaking process Cut tobacco was processed. Filter cigarettes from the same "American Blend" tobacco blend using conventional Burley and Maryland tobaccos served as a comparison.
Die Werte der folgenden Tabelle I zeigen für die erfindungsgemäßen Cigaretten eine erhebliche Reduzierung der .tabakspezifischen Nitrosamine, die für Einzelsubstanzen wie NAB/Tabak bis zu 74 % beträgt. Auch der Nikotingehalt im Rauch/Tabak ist merklich reduziert, während die physikaKschen Daten gegenüber denen der Vergleichscigaretten praktisch unverändert sind.The values of the following Table I show, for the cigarettes according to the invention, a considerable reduction in the tobacco-specific nitrosamines, which is up to 74% for individual substances such as NAB / tobacco. The nicotine content in smoke / tobacco is also noticeably reduced, whereas the physical data are practically unchanged compared to the comparative cigarettes.
