Definitions
- This disclosure relates to smoking articles having a filter that includes a breakable capsule containing one or more compounds that are capable of interacting with one or more smoke constituent to reduce the concentration of the smoke constituent in mainstream smoke.
- Combustible smoking articles such as cigarettes, typically have shredded tobacco (usually in cut filler form) surrounded by a paper wrapper forming a tobacco rod.
- a cigarette is employed by a smoker by lighting one end of the cigarette and burning the tobacco rod. The smoker then receives mainstream smoke by drawing on the opposite end or mouth end of the cigarette, which typically contains a filter. The filter is positioned to entrap some constituents of mainstream smoke before the mainstream smoke is delivered to a smoker.
- Some smoke constituents such as phenol or other phenolic compounds, can contribute to harsh taste and may not be effectively removed by the filter.
- smoking articles can include flavorants to mask harsh tastes of smoke or to modify the taste profile.
- Breakable capsules that release flavorants can be disposed in the filter.
- CN 103141939 A teaches that water and glycerol can trap phenol in smoke due to hydrogen bond interactions.
- CN 103141939 A discloses a smoking article having a capsule disposed in a filter. The capsule includes water and glycerol, which can be released when the capsule is crushed to capture, among other things, phenol.
- CN 03141939 does not disclose the use of hydrophobic substances in the core of the capsule.
- capsules having humectants for removal of smoke constituents and having a majority of lipids in the core have not been suggested.
- One object of the present invention is to provide smoking articles with a breakable capsule having contents capable of reducing the concentration of one or more constituents in mainstream smoke.
- Other objects of the present invention will be evident to those of skill in the art upon reading and understanding the present disclosure, which includes the claims that follow and accompanying drawings.
- a smoking article in various aspects of the present invention, includes a smokable material and a filter downstream of the smokable material.
- the filter comprises a capsule having a core and a breakable shell.
- the core has a mixture including one or more lipid compounds and one or more humectants.
- the lipid compounds account for 50% or more of the weight of the mixture.
- At least one of the one or more humectants is capable of interacting with one or more smoke constituents to reduce the concentration of the one or more smoke constituents in mainstream smoke.
- a “smokable material” is a material that generates an aerosol deliverable to a user of a smoking article when the material is placed in a smoking article and the smoking article is properly employed by a user.
- the smokable material comprises tobacco.
- smoking articles containing capsules in accordance with various aspects of the present invention can provide, selective, on-demand, reduction of smoke constituents such as phenols or other phenolic compounds due to interaction with humectants released from the capsules.
- the reduction in selective smoke constituents can improve taste or reduce harshness of mainstream smoke.
- the humectants in the core can also serve to moisturize mainstream smoke upon breakage of the capsule.
- cores having high percentages of lipid components can advantageously be used as carriers for lipophilic flavorants.
- a breakable capsule includes a core containing a mixture of one or more humectants, one or more lipid compounds, and, optionally, one or more additional compounds.
- the core preferably consists essentially of, or consists of, the mixture.
- any suitable humectant can be included in the core.
- suitable humectants include sugar alcohols, sugar polyols, polymeric polyols, glycols, urea, and alpha-hydroxy acids.
- suitable humectant compounds include glycerol, glycerol triacetate, triethyl citrate, polyethylene glycol (PEG, such as PEG400 and PEG600), polyoxyethylene, maltitol, xylitol, sorbitol, propylene glycol, hexylene glycol, butylene glycol, triethylene glycol, and polydextrose.
- the core does not contain glycerol.
- one or more of the humectants in the core are hydrophilic, i.e., the humectant is a molecule that is at least partially polarized and capable of hydrogen bonding, enabling it to dissolve more readily in water than in oil.
- hydrophilic means having a solubility in water of 25 grams or more per 100 milliliters at 25°C.
- hydrophobic means having a solubility in water of less than 25 grams per 100 milliliters at 25°C.
- humectants have a solubility in water that is about 40 grams or more per 100 milliliters at 25°C, such as about 50 grams or more per 100 milliliters at 25°C.
- the solubility of maltitol in water is about 200 g/100 ml; and the solubility of PEG400 is about 44 grams/100 ml.
- a humectant can interact with one or more smoke constituents in any suitable manner to reduce the concentration of the one or more constituents in mainstream smoke.
- a humectant can react with a smoke constituent to form a new chemical compound
- a humectant and a smoke constituent can interact through ionic bonding
- a humectant and a smoke constituent can interact through van der Waals forces.
- a humectant and a smoke constituent interact through hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding can occur through hydroxyl groups of phenols or other phenolic smoke constituents and oxygen-containing moieties, such as hydroxyl moieties of humectants if the humectant includes a hydroxyl group.

- the capsules can be of varying size and shape, differing resistance to kinetic or thermal forces to break or rupture the capsule, and can include alternative capsule compositions and capsule constituents.
- a capsule for use in a smoking article of the invention is a seamless capsule obtained through a co-extrusion process.
- the co-extrusion process can be a synchronous extrusion of two liquids: an external and hydrophilic liquid phase, and an internal and lipophilic liquid phase.
- the co-extrusion process includes three main stages: compound drop formation, shell solidification and capsule collection.
- the compound drop is a sphere of the liquid fill phase inside the shell phase.
- the liquid fill phase constitutes the core.
- the shell phase constitutes the shell.
- the capsules of the invention may be produced by any suitable co-extrusion process, such as described in EP1906775.A2 or EP 513603.
- the capsules can be formed by any methods known in the art that comprise dripping of a core emulsion and a shell solution into gelation bath, such as but not limited to, simple dripping, drip casting, electrostatic dripping, coaxial air flow technique, liquid-jet breakup technique, vibrating jet (nozzle) breakup technique, jet cutting technique, and rotating (or spinning) disk atomization. It has been found that the use of high weight percent glycerin as the shell component results in a stable emulsion with the core emulsion and thus does not result in effective crushable capsules. However, when the shell solution comprises alginate a non-stable emulsion is formed and crushable capsules having a fluid core and a breakable shell result. It is believed that some of the humectant migrates to the shell during such processes.
- the breakable capsules are crushable capsules.
- a crushable capsule is a capsule having a crush strength from about 0.01 kp to about 5 kp, preferably from about 0.5 kp to about 2.5 kp.
- the crush strength of the capsule can be measured by continuously applying a load vertically onto one capsule until rupture.
- the crush strength of the capsules can be measured by using a LLOYD - CHATILLON Digital Force Gauge, Model DFIS 50, having a capacity of 25Kg, a resolution of 0.02 Kg, and an accuracy of +/- 0,15 %.
- the force gauge can be attached to a stand; the capsule can be positioned in the middle of a plate that is moved up with a manual thread screw device. Pressure can then be applied manually.
- the gauge records the maximum force applied at the very moment of the rupture of the capsule (measured in, for example, Kg or in Lb). Rupture of the capsule results in the release of contents of the core.
- Additional methods for characterizing capsules include crush force which is the maximum compressive force measured in, for example, Newtons that a capsule can withstand before breakage; and distance at breakage which is the change in dimension of the capsule due to compression, i.e., deformation, at breakage. It can also be expressed for example by the ratio between a dimension of the capsule (e.g., the capsule diameter) and the dimension of the capsule, measured in the direction of the compression force, when it is compressed to the point of breakage.
- the compression is generally applied toward the floor by the compression plates of an automatic or manual compression testing machine. Such machines are well known in the art and commercially available.
- the capsule has a crush strength prior to introduction into a smoking article of from about 0.6 kp to about 2 kp, preferably from about 0.8 kp to about 1.2 kp.
- the capsule preferably has a crush strength after introduction into a smoking article and subjected to a smoking test from about 0.6 kp to about 2 kp, more preferably from about 0.8 kp to about 1.2 kp.
- the capsule has a crush force value prior to introduction into a smoking article of about 5 N to about 20 N, preferably from about 7 N to about 18 N, and more preferably about 12.0 N.
- the compression test machine can operate at a range of speed from 10 mm/min to 420 mm/min.
- the capsule prior to introduction into a smoking article may exhibit a distance at breakage of about 0.60 mm to about 0.80 mm, preferably about 0.74 mm.
- the above crush force and distance at breakage is typically obtained when a universal tensile/compression testing machine equipped with 100 N tension load cell like, Instron or equivalent, is operating at about 30 mm/min and at 22°C under 60% relative humidity.
- An example of a manual test machine is the Alluris Type FMI - 220C2 - Digital Force Gauge 0-200N - Supplier : Alluris GmbH & Co.
