 本発明を実施例によって更に具体的に説明するが、本発明はその要旨を超えない限り、以下の実施例の記載に限定されるものではない。 The present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples. However, the present invention is not limited to the description of the following examples unless it exceeds the gist.
<実験例1>
 本発明の口腔用たばこ組成物の保水性を試験するために、以下の実験を行った。
<原料>
たばこ粉粒体(ラミナ(除骨葉)(2.0)mmメッシュを通過したもの、ステム(中骨)1.2mmメッシュを通過したもの)
粉末昆布(最大径で0.25mmメッシュを通過したもの)
角切り昆布(1mm角に切断したもの)
<組成物の調製>
たばこ粉粒体が100重量%の試料、たばこ粉粒体に上記の昆布原料(粉末昆布または角切り昆布)を5重量%、10重量%、15重量%となるように混合した試料と、粉末昆布が100重量%の試料を準備した。
<SNUSの調製>
SNUS用のパウチ(不織布)に上記の組成物を0.3g含有させてシールした。
 上記で作製した各SNUS(0.34g)のパウチ3つを、過剰のイオン交換水に浸漬した。30分後に袋ごと空中に引き上げ、キムワイプ上に置き、上から250gの重りを載せて1分静置した。そしてその質量Mを測定した。その際の質量を、たばこ粉粒体が100重量%のものと比較した。
 その結果を表1と図1に示す。表1の配合構成は重量比である。
 図1から、たばこ粉粒体を100重量%含有するSNUSに比べ、昆布原料を含有させたSNUSでは、保水性が向上した。粉末昆布と角切り昆布とでは保水性がほぼ同等であった。
<Experimental example 1>
In order to test the water retention of the oral tobacco composition of the present invention, the following experiment was conducted.
<Raw material>
Tobacco powder (Those that passed through lamina (deboned leaves) (2.0) mm mesh, those that passed through 1.2 mm mesh of stem (medium bone))
Powdered kelp (thickness passed through 0.25mm mesh)
Square cut kelp (cut into 1mm square)
<Preparation of composition>
A sample in which the tobacco powder is 100% by weight, a sample in which the above-described kelp raw material (powdered kelp or corn cut kelp) is mixed with the tobacco powder so as to be 5% by weight, 10% by weight, 15% by weight, A sample containing 100% by weight of kelp was prepared.
<Preparation of SNUS>
A SNUS pouch (nonwoven fabric) was sealed by containing 0.3 g of the above composition.
Three pouches of each SNUS (0.34 g) prepared above were immersed in excess ion-exchanged water. After 30 minutes, the entire bag was pulled up into the air, placed on a Kimwipe, placed on a 250 g weight from the top, and allowed to stand for 1 minute. And the mass M was measured. The mass at that time was compared with that of 100% by weight of tobacco powder.
The results are shown in Table 1 and FIG. The composition of Table 1 is a weight ratio.
From FIG. 1, compared with SNUS containing 100% by weight of tobacco powder particles, SNUS containing kelp raw material improved water retention. The water retention was almost equal between the powder kelp and the square cut kelp.

Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000001
<実験例2>
 たばこ粉粒体(実験例1で使用したものと同じもの)、とろろ昆布、昆布粉末(実験例1で使用したものと同じもの)を準備し、各試料0.5gを秤量して、試験管に入れ、10gの水を添加した。そして、全体がゲル化するまでの時間を測定した。
結果を表2に示す。
 以下の表2の結果から、たばこ粉粒体はゲル化しないのに対し、とろろ昆布と昆布粉末はゲル化することが分かった。また、ゲル化までの時間はとろろ昆布よりも、昆布粉末の方が短いことが分かった。
<Experimental example 2>
Tobacco granules (same as used in Experimental Example 1), garlic kelp, kelp powder (same as used in Experimental Example 1) were prepared, 0.5 g of each sample was weighed, and a test tube And 10 g of water was added. And the time until the whole gelatinized was measured.
The results are shown in Table 2.
From the results shown in Table 2 below, it was found that tobacco powder particles did not gel, whereas garlic kelp and kelp powder gelled. Moreover, it turned out that the time to gelatinize is shorter in the kelp powder than in the garlic kelp.

<実験例3>
 実験例1で用いたたばこ粉粒体に、実験例1で用いた粉末昆布を5重量%、10重量%、15重量%配合した試料を調製し、SNUS用のパウチ(不織布)に入れてシールした。
 同様に、対照例としてたばこ粉粒体のみを含むSNUSのパウチも作製した。
 これらの試料について、被験者5名に対し、試料の喫食前の外香、喫食中の味香り、テクスチャーについて官能評価を行った。官能評価の具体的な内容は以下の通りである。
(1)喫食前の外香に関する項目:たばこ様の匂い、昆布の匂い
(2)喫食中の味香りに関する項目:味の強さ、全体刺激/歯茎の痛み、甘さ、昆布の香り、辛み、苦み、塩味
(3)テクスチャーに関する項目:歯茎と唇に挟んだ時のフィット感、口の渇き
<Experimental example 3>
Prepare a sample containing 5% by weight, 10% by weight, and 15% by weight of the powder kelp used in Experimental Example 1 and the tobacco powder used in Experimental Example 1, and place it in a SNUS pouch (nonwoven fabric) for sealing. did.
Similarly, a SNUS pouch containing only tobacco particles was also prepared as a control example.
About these samples, sensory evaluation was performed about five test subjects about the external scent before eating of a sample, the taste fragrance in eating, and a texture. The specific contents of sensory evaluation are as follows.
(1) Items related to incense before eating: Cigarette-like scent, kelp scent (2) Items related to taste scent during eating: strength of taste, total stimulation / gum pain, sweetness, kelp scent, spiciness , Bitterness, saltiness (3) Items related to texture: fit when held between gums and lips, thirst
 官能評価の結果を図2に示す。図2の結果から、粉末昆布の含有量を増加させるにしたがって、昆布の匂い、香りが増加し、口腔内でのフィット感も向上した。
 一方で、粉末昆布の含有量を増加させるにしたがって、全体刺激/歯茎の痛み、辛み、苦み、塩味及び口の渇きは低下した。
 なお、図2中、官能値3をリファレンス(上記の対照例)とした。
 これらの結果から、たばこ原料に特有の香味の緩和化は海藻である昆布の配合に起因すると考えられる。また、口腔内のフィット感向上は、保水性の向上および、昆布のゲル化に起因すると考えられる。
The result of sensory evaluation is shown in FIG. From the results shown in FIG. 2, as the content of powdered kelp was increased, the smell and scent of kelp increased and the fit in the oral cavity was also improved.
On the other hand, as the content of powder kelp was increased, total irritation / gingival pain, hotness, bitterness, saltiness and dry mouth decreased.
In FIG. 2, the sensory value 3 was used as a reference (the above-mentioned control example).
From these results, it is considered that the relaxation of the flavor peculiar to tobacco raw materials is caused by the combination of seaweed kelp. In addition, it is considered that the improvement of the fit in the oral cavity results from the improvement of water retention and the gelation of kelp.
 本発明の口腔用たばこ組成物は、海藻に特有の香味を有するとともに、たばこ原料に特有の雑味等が緩和されている。また、本発明の口腔用たばこ組成物は、保水性が高く、水に接触すると膨潤する。したがって、本発明の口腔用たばこ組成物を用いたSNUSは、口腔内でのフィット感が高い。 The tobacco composition for oral cavity of the present invention has a flavor peculiar to seaweed and has a mild miscellaneous taste peculiar to tobacco raw materials. Moreover, the tobacco composition for oral cavity of this invention has high water retention, and will swell when it contacts water. Therefore, SNUS using the tobacco composition for oral cavity of the present invention has a high fit in the oral cavity.
