Description

たばこ材料の製造方法及びその製造方法により製造されたたばこ材料Tobacco material manufacturing method and tobacco material manufactured by the manufacturing method
　本発明は、たばこ材料の製造方法及びその製造方法により製造されたたばこ材料に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for producing a tobacco material and a tobacco material produced by the production method.
　たばこ葉の香味を変更するためにたばこ葉を処理する方法について、従来から検討が行われている。例えば、たばこ葉としてバーレー種のたばこ葉について加圧乾燥を行う方法が知られている（特許文献１）。特許文献１には、加圧条件としては２５ｋＰａ～７００ｋＰａであるとともに、たばこ葉の水分含有量が１０％を超えるように維持することが記載されている。
　また、水分含量が少なくとも１５％になるように調整されたたばこ葉の混合物を、香りや芳香成分が発生するのに十分な条件下（実質的に大気圧下）で熱処理（少なくとも２５０°Ｆ）が行われる技術も知られている（特許文献２）。特許文献２には、熱処理の時間は１０分、温度は１２１～１７７℃であることが記載されている（実施例）。
　また、ベルトコンベア上にたばこストリップを積載し、これを乾燥機を通過するように搬送させて、乾燥処理を行う方法が知られている（特許文献３）。この方法では、約３０％の水分含有量を有するたばこ葉を乾燥させることで、最終的にその水分含有量を約５％に減少させることが記載されており、また、乾燥の際の温度範囲として９３～１１８℃が記載されている。
　また、たばこ葉、たばこストリップ、裁断されたたばこ葉を乾燥させるための回転乾燥機が知られている（特許文献４）。特許文献４には、たばこ葉を乾燥させるための具体的な条件についての記載はない。また、たばこ葉の水分含有量に関する記載もない。 Conventionally, methods for treating tobacco leaves to change the flavor of tobacco leaves have been studied. For example, a method of performing pressure drying on a tobacco leaf of Burley type as a tobacco leaf is known (Patent Document 1). Patent Document 1 describes that the pressurization condition is 25 kPa to 700 kPa, and that the moisture content of the tobacco leaf is maintained to exceed 10%.
In addition, a mixture of tobacco leaves adjusted to have a moisture content of at least 15% is heat treated (at least 250 ° F.) under conditions sufficient to generate scents and fragrance components (substantially under atmospheric pressure). There is also known a technique for performing (Patent Document 2). Patent Document 2 describes that the heat treatment time is 10 minutes and the temperature is 121 to 177 ° C. (Example).
In addition, a method is known in which a cigarette strip is stacked on a belt conveyor and transported so as to pass through a dryer to perform a drying process (Patent Document 3). In this method, it is described that tobacco leaves having a moisture content of about 30% are dried to finally reduce the moisture content to about 5%, and the temperature range during drying is also described. 93 to 118 ° C. is described.
Also known is a rotary dryer for drying tobacco leaves, tobacco strips, and cut tobacco leaves (Patent Document 4). Patent Document 4 does not describe specific conditions for drying tobacco leaves. Moreover, there is no description regarding the water content of tobacco leaves.

　上記の特許文献１～３には、いずれもたばこ葉の水分をある一定以上に保ちながら加熱する工程が記載されている。
　特許文献１には、加熱中のたばこ葉の水分含量を１０％を超えて維持し、乾燥後のたばこ葉の水分含量も１０％以上に維持することで、たばこ葉片の充填力（filling power）が向上すると記載されている。また、特許文献２には、十分な量の芳香成分を発生させるために、乾燥前のたばこ葉は、少なくとも１５％の水分含有量を有している必要が記載されている。
　一方、特許文献３には、たばこ葉の水分含有量を一定以上にしないと、処理後のたばこの化学組成や風味に影響を与える旨が記載されている。 Patent Documents 1 to 3 described above all describe a process of heating while keeping the moisture of tobacco leaves above a certain level.
In Patent Document 1, the water content of the tobacco leaf during heating is maintained above 10%, and the water content of the tobacco leaf after drying is also maintained at 10% or more, so that the filling power of the tobacco leaf pieces is maintained. Is stated to improve. Patent Document 2 describes that a tobacco leaf before drying needs to have a moisture content of at least 15% in order to generate a sufficient amount of aroma components.
On the other hand, Patent Literature 3 describes that the chemical composition and flavor of tobacco after treatment are affected unless the moisture content of the tobacco leaf is set above a certain level.
　以上のように、各特許文献に記載の技術では、様々な目的でたばこ葉の乾燥処理を行っているものの、いずれも乾燥前のたばこ葉の水分含有量を高く調整したものを乾燥させることが記載されている。特に、乾燥工程においても、その水分量を極力減らさないようにすることが重要であることが特許文献１や３に記載されている。
　上記のいずれの特許文献にも、たばこ葉の水分含有量が非常に少ない条件下で乾燥処理を行うことについては記載がない。また、たばこ葉の水分含有量が非常に少ない条件下で乾燥処理を行った場合のたばこ葉の膨嵩性や香味の変化との関係については記載されていない。 As described above, in the techniques described in each patent document, although tobacco leaves are subjected to drying treatment for various purposes, all of them can be dried after adjusting the moisture content of the tobacco leaves before drying. Are listed. In particular, Patent Documents 1 and 3 describe that it is important not to reduce the amount of water in the drying process as much as possible.
None of the above-mentioned patent documents describes that the drying treatment is performed under conditions where the moisture content of the tobacco leaf is very low. In addition, there is no description regarding the relationship between the change in the bulkiness and flavor of tobacco leaves when the drying treatment is performed under conditions where the moisture content of the tobacco leaves is very low.
　本発明では、たばこ葉の膨嵩性を高めることができるとともに、香味を変化させたたばこ材料を得るための製造方法を提供する。 The present invention provides a production method for obtaining a tobacco material that can enhance the bulkiness of tobacco leaves and has a changed flavor.
　本発明者が鋭意検討した結果、たばこ葉の処理方法として、水分含有量が２．５重量％以下のたばこ葉原料を、１００～２００℃の品温となる条件下で加熱する工程を含むことで、上記課題を解決できることがわかり本発明に到達した。 As a result of intensive studies by the present inventor, the method for treating tobacco leaves includes a step of heating a tobacco leaf material having a water content of 2.5% by weight or less under the condition of a product temperature of 100 to 200 ° C.
