Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is capable of extracting extract residues obtained from plants other than tobacco or by extracting them, raw materials for beverages, vegetables and fruits, unnecessary raw materials produced during processing of the same, and various types of wood. A tobacco product characterized by adding the product obtained by alcoholysis to raw material tobacco or materials for cigarette manufacturing to suppress the off-odor and off-taste of tobacco and impart a strong aroma and taste with a unique taste. Concerning methods for improving aroma and flavor.

It is a well-known fact that extracts obtained from plants other than tobacco using water or aqueous solvents are effective as tobacco flavoring agents. There are few. Although the components of these extraction residues differ depending on the solvent used, they commonly contain cellulose and lignin, and among these cellulose and lignin, there have been few studies on the use of lignin.

The present inventors have discovered that products obtained from non-tobacco plants containing a large amount of lignin components and their extraction residues can be processed by so-called alcohololysis, which involves treatment with alcohol in the presence of mineral acids, using conventional methods. It was discovered that compared to the extract obtained in 1999, a tobacco-like flavor was produced with a much smaller amount, and the greenness, astringency, and spiciness were reduced, giving a flavor similar to that of a ripened tobacco.

To explain the processing method of the present invention in more detail, first, raw materials include all plants other than tobacco (for example, liatris, chamomile, vanilla, etc.) as they are or their extraction residues, and raw materials for recreational beverages (for example, coffee, etc.).
Cocoa, etc.) as is or their extraction residues, vegetables, fruits, and waste materials generated during their processing (e.g., oranges, orange peels, asparagus chips, pineapple cores, etc.), as well as wood (e.g., oak, oak, etc.). ) and other lignin-containing materials, which cover an extremely wide range of materials.

Using these raw materials, for example, 8, B, CRA-
MERS method (J, 8, c, s, Vol. 61, p. 509 (
(1939)) can produce alcoholysis (ethanolysis) products. That is, twice the amount of 97% ethanol-benzene mixture (weight ratio 1:1) was added to wood flour (50 mesh, 8% moisture) and extracted for 72 hours.The residue was further extracted with 97% ethanol and then extracted with water for 24 hours. time extraction to obtain the respective extracts.

After the extraction residue was air-dried, it was heated under reflux for 40 hours in a 7-fold volume of hydrochloric acid-ethanol mixture (weight ratio 3:97) to collect the filtrate extract, which was further washed with 4-fold volume of ethanol and the filtrate was Combine and concentrate to obtain an extract. Since this extract contains chlorine, it can be prepared by adding seven times as much water, dissolving it with ethyl ether, collecting and concentrating the alcoholysis products. This concentrate differs depending on the raw material, but each has its own unique aroma. Note that the hydrochloric acid used above may be other mineral acids and organic acids such as sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid.

When the concentrate obtained in this way was used as a compounding material for casing sauce and tosopfreher at a weight ratio of 0.0001% to 0.005% based on cigarettes, it was found that the blue haze of various types of cigarettes, The results of sensory tests have shown that it produces many excellent effects, such as suppressing off-flavors such as raw grass, astringency, bitterness, and disgusting tastes, producing a tobacco-like body sensation, and increasing the sense of smoke. clearly recognized.

Furthermore, by adding this concentrate to materials for cigarette manufacturing such as filters, the off-odor and off-taste of mainstream tobacco smoke is suppressed and the tobacco-like flavor is enhanced.

Furthermore, by adding it to backbones, recycled tobacco, artificial cigarettes, etc., the same effect as above is produced and the flavor and taste of each is improved.

There are no particular limitations on the method, timing, or means of adding the alcoholysis product in the present invention, and it can be added at an appropriate time and by any appropriate means. It is preferable to dissolve it in water or the like and add it to shredded tobacco during the manufacturing process by a method such as spraying.

Cigarettes whose aroma and taste can be improved by the present invention include cigar tobacco, cigarettes, pipe tobacco, etc. manufactured from natural leaf tobacco, sheet tobacco recycled from tobacco waste, and sheet tobacco manufactured from materials other than leaf tobacco. Examples include artificial cigarettes. When added to cigarette manufacturing materials such as wrapping paper and filters, the alcoholysis product may be added to the combustion modifier or glue for the wrapping paper, and in the case of filters, it may be added to the plasticizer triacetin. Alternatively, it may be added to a filter baguette to wind up the filter.

The amount of the alcoholysis product added in the present invention is not particularly limited, but the effect is noticeable in the range of 0.0001 to 0.005% by weight relative to the raw tobacco or filter, etc. The most desirable amount is around %.

The present invention will be further explained below with reference to Examples.

Example 1 The above-mentioned A, B, CRAMER from crushed Todomatsu
The alcoholysis product obtained by method 3 was added to a chopped 1=1 blend of domestic yellow tobacco C true leaves and C medium leaves in an amount of 0.002 parts of silkworms. It was dissolved in water, sprayed, and rolled up into cigarettes. Inspector 20 tested this invention product and a control product rolled up with the same amount of water only.
The aroma and taste were compared through a sensory test conducted by a panel of experts. The results are shown in Table 1. The product of the present invention has significantly reduced greenness, freshness, spiciness, astringency, and swelling, and has an increase in tobacco-like flavor, smoke feeling, and podium, and has an overall aroma. It was determined that the taste and habit were improved.

(Note) The numbers indicate the number of people who rated it good out of a panel of 20 people. A ★★ mark indicates a significant difference of 1%, and a ★ mark indicates a significant difference of 5% (the same applies to the following examples).

Example 2 From the Liatris extraction residue, the above-mentioned 8.B. CRAMER
The alcoholysis product obtained by method 3 was dissolved in ethyl alcohol so that 0.0005% by weight of the cut product for commercially available cigarettes Wakaba (trade name, manufactured by Japan Tobacco Inc.) was added. It was then sprayed onto a cigarette and rolled into a cigarette. The aroma and taste of this product of the present invention and a control product prepared by adding only ethyl alcohol in the same amount and rolled up were compared in the same sensory test as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 2. The product of the present invention significantly reduced the greenness, bitterness, astringency, bitterness, and spiciness, and increased the sense of smoke, tobacco-like flavor, and musty taste, and improved the overall aroma. It was determined that the taste and habit were improved.゛■ Continued Amendment (voluntary) February 17, 1932, Director General of the Japan Patent Office, Michibe Uga, 1, Indication of the case, Patent Application No. 1983-231,379, 2, Name of the invention: Tobacco flavored crystalline Improved Law 3.
