Abstract
Description
異なる種類の葉たばこをブレンドする技術としては、例えば特許文献1に記載されているように、減圧処理のような加工を別々に受けた複数種類の葉たばこ原料を、それぞれ切断することで切断された充填葉成分を製造し、その後切断された充填葉成分をブレンドするステップが含まれている。
特許文献1に記載の発明における切断処理では、葉たばこの種類や、乾燥システムの種類に応じて切断幅を変えることが記載されており、その幅として0.15~2.6mmの範囲内で設定すべき旨が記載されている。 In smoking articles such as cigarettes, various types of leaf tobacco are used, and by changing the types of leaf tobacco, smoking articles having various flavors can be obtained. As a technique for adjusting the scent of cigarettes, a method of blending various types of tobacco leaves with different scents is known.
As a technique for blending different types of leaf tobacco, for example, as described in
In the cutting process in the invention described in
上記特許文献1に記載の技術では、切断された葉たばこの幅が数百μm~数ミリの単位であり、これがブレンドされたシガレットの場合には、切断された葉たばこの刻みの大きさに起因して、シガレット中で偏りが生じやすくなる。
例えば、一般的にシガレットの葉たばこは長辺3~5mm、短辺0.5~1.2mmで裁断された刻で構成されており、一定の体積を有しているため、1種類の葉たばこを極少量混合すると、ムラが発生しやすい。具体的には、市販されている一般的なシガレットでは、平均540個の刻で構成されており、この刻に1種類の葉たばこ刻を1%均一に混合する場合には、5.4個の刻みを均一に混合する必要がある。
それが達成できない場合、シガレットの香喫味にムラが生じることがある。また、特許文献2に記載の方法では、添加する材料はたばことは異なるものであり、たばこに特有の香喫味を付与することはできない。 When imparting a savory taste to a smoking article, it is preferable to impart the savory taste to the smoking article evenly so that the expression of the savory taste to the user is uniform.
In the technique described in
For example, cigarette leaf cigarettes are generally composed of chopped pieces with a long side of 3-5 mm and a short side of 0.5-1.2 mm, and have a certain volume. When mixed in a very small amount, unevenness is likely to occur. Specifically, a general cigarette that is commercially available is composed of an average of 540 cuts, and if one kind of leaf tobacco is mixed uniformly at 1%, 5.4 pieces of cigarettes are mixed.

本発明のたばこ材料は、平均粒径が30μm以下の葉たばこの粒子と、該粒子を分散するための液体の分散媒体を含むものである。 <Tobacco material of the present invention>
The tobacco material of the present invention includes leaf tobacco particles having an average particle size of 30 μm or less and a liquid dispersion medium for dispersing the particles.
本発明のたばこ材料に含まれる葉たばこの粒子は、例えば以下の方法により得ることができる。
葉たばことして用いることのできる種類としては特に制限されるものではなく、黄色種、バーレー種、在来種、オリエント葉の主な葉たばこ原料やそれらを用いた発酵葉などが好的に使用できる。また、これらの葉たばこについて、処理が行われた中骨たばこ、膨化たばこ、シートたばこを用いることもできる。

乾燥処理や粗粉砕機による粗粉砕の工程については、特に制限されず、粉砕された葉たばこの平均粒径が、数百μm~数ミリmの範囲になる。
粗粉砕した葉たばこに、液体の分散媒体を加え、攪拌混合する。
攪拌混合された混合物を、湿式微粉砕機(例えば、MIC-2:奈良機械製作所製)を用いて粉砕する。機械の回転数は通常1100~1300rpm、粉砕時間は5~100分程度で行う。
このような操作を行うことで、葉たばこの粒子の平均粒径が30μm以下にまで粉砕される。
なお、液体中に分散した分散物を得る場合、一般的には湿式の微粉砕機が用いられるが、乾式の微粉砕機を用いても本発明のたばこ材料を得ることができる。具体的には、粗粉砕した葉たばこを、ジェットミル等の乾式微粉砕機を用いて平均粒径30μm以下にまで微粉砕した後、液体の分散媒体を加え撹拌混合する。 <Leaf tobacco particles>
The leaf tobacco particles contained in the tobacco material of the present invention can be obtained, for example, by the following method.
There are no particular restrictions on the types of leaf tobacco that can be used, and yellow leaflets, burley species, native species, the main leaf tobacco materials of orient leaves, fermented leaves using them, and the like can be preferably used. Further, for these leaf tobaccos, processed middle bone tobacco, swollen tobacco, and sheet tobacco can be used.
Since each of the above-mentioned leaf tobaccos has a characteristic flavor, there is a need for a method for uniformly adding a very small amount to a smoking article.
These leaf tobaccos are subjected to ordinary drying treatment and then coarsely pulverized by an ordinary coarse pulverizer.
There is no particular limitation on the drying process and the coarse pulverization process, and the average particle size of the pulverized leaf tobacco is in the range of several hundred μm to several millimeters.
A liquid dispersion medium is added to coarsely pulverized leaf tobacco and mixed by stirring.
The stirred and mixed mixture is pulverized using a wet pulverizer (for example, MIC-2: manufactured by Nara Machinery Co., Ltd.). The rotation speed of the machine is usually 1100 to 1300 rpm, and the grinding time is about 5 to 100 minutes.
By performing such an operation, the average particle size of the leaf tobacco particles is pulverized to 30 μm or less.
In order to obtain a dispersion dispersed in a liquid, a wet pulverizer is generally used, but the tobacco material of the present invention can also be obtained using a dry pulverizer. Specifically, the coarsely pulverized leaf tobacco is finely pulverized to a mean particle size of 30 μm or less using a dry fine pulverizer such as a jet mill, and then a liquid dispersion medium is added and mixed with stirring.
このような測定原理及び測定装置を用い、測定装置に付属されている解析ソフトにより得られる粒径の平均値を平均粒径とする。
本発明のたばこ材料に含まれる葉たばこの粒子の平均粒径は30μm以下である。
微粉砕された葉たばこの粒子がこのような平均粒径を有することで、たばこ材料における葉たばこの粒子が均一に分散しやすくなり、喫煙物品に対する香喫味の付与をムラなく行うことができる。
葉たばこの粒子の平均粒径の下限値は、通常、5μm以上であり、8μm以上である態様が挙げられる。
葉たばこの粒子の平均粒径を大きくするには、微粉砕機を用いた際に粉砕の時間を短くしたり、分散媒体を低粘度に調整したりすることで可能である。 The average particle size as used in the present invention is determined by a laser diffraction / scattering method, and a laser diffraction particle size distribution measuring device (for example, Shimadzu nano particle size distribution measuring device SALD-2100) is used as the device. The refractive index is set in the range of 1.60-0.10i.
Using such a measurement principle and measurement apparatus, the average value of the particle diameters obtained by analysis software attached to the measurement apparatus is defined as the average particle diameter.
The average particle size of the leaf tobacco particles contained in the tobacco material of the present invention is 30 μm or less.
Since the finely pulverized leaf tobacco particles have such an average particle size, the leaf tobacco particles in the tobacco material can be easily dispersed uniformly, and the smoking article can be imparted with a flavor evenly.
The lower limit value of the average particle size of the leaf tobacco particles is usually 5 μm or more, and an embodiment in which it is 8 μm or more can be mentioned.
In order to increase the average particle size of the tobacco particles, it is possible to shorten the pulverization time when using a fine pulverizer or to adjust the dispersion medium to a low viscosity.
このような分散媒体を用いることで、葉たばこの平均粒径を所望のものに調整できる。

5. Preparation of comparison object (cigarette blended with menthol scented scent) Menthol scented scent was added to 5, 10 and 20% by weight, respectively, with respect to the menthol not scented scented and sufficiently blended. Cigarettes were made using the blended ticks. The sample names of each cigarette were U-5, U-10, and U-20.
6). Analysis of menthol distribution unevenness 1) Each sample prepared above: T-1, T-5, U-5, U-10, U-20 cigarette engraved rods every 4 mm (corresponding to 1 puff combustion length) (See FIG. 1). The cutting position started from a position 4 mm away from the filter part and cut to a position 44 mm away. That is, 10 pieces of 4 mm chopped rods were prepared for each sample.
2) The menthol concentration was analyzed for each cut piece of each sample. The results are shown in Table 2. Furthermore, the average value, standard deviation, and variation coefficient of the menthol concentration of the cut piece of each sample were determined. The results are shown in Table 3.
これらのシガレットについて、ガスクロマトグラフによりメントールの含有量を定量分析した。
表3に示されるように、本発明のたばこ材料をシガレットに付与した場合、既存のブレンド方法(たばこ刻と別のたばこ刻を混合する)を用いた場合と比べて、切断片ごとのメントール濃度のばらつきが非常に小さく、微細粉化された葉たばこ原料がシガレット中の各切断片に均一に存在していることが分かった。特に、たばこ材料の添加量が少ない場合でも、各切断片の濃度のばらつきが小さい(変動係数が小さい)ことが分かった。

A cigarette with a time was created. On the other hand, cigarettes prepared by blending (mixing) tobacco raw materials to which menthol was added at a certain ratio were prepared as comparative objects.
About these cigarettes, the menthol content was quantitatively analyzed by gas chromatography.
As shown in Table 3, when the cigarette material of the present invention is applied to a cigarette, the menthol concentration for each cut piece compared to the case of using an existing blending method (mixing a cigarette and another cigarette) It was found that the leaf tobacco raw material finely pulverized was uniformly present in each cut piece in the cigarette. In particular, it was found that even when the amount of tobacco material added was small, the variation in the concentration of each cut piece was small (the coefficient of variation was small).
From this fact, by using the tobacco material of the present invention, it is possible to design a fine savory taste of a smoking article.
