Definitions

  • the present invention relates to vaporisable material for use in a vapour-generating device.
  • Devices which heat rather than burn vaporisable material, such as those containing tobacco, to create a vapour for inhalation are becoming popular. They generally comprise a heat source powered by gas or electricity and a chamber for receiving vaporisable material containing a vapour-generating product. In use the material is inserted into the device and heated by the heat source to generate a vapour for inhalation.
  • An example of such a device can be found in PCT publication WO 2009/079641.
  • Such devices and the material for use in them have become popular because they can provide a user with an experience very similar to smoking the vaporisable material without the burning of plant material such as tobacco.
  • the present invention seeks to provide vaporisable material for use in the vapour-generating device, that material providing a far higher degree of consistency and quality of flavour to an end user.
  • the present invention provides a vaporisable material for use in a vapour-generating device, comprising tobacco having a moisture content of from about 3 to 5 wt %, and further comprising a humectant in an amount of at least 20 wt %.
  • the present invention provides a sealed package containing vaporisable material according to the first aspect of the invention.
  • the present invention is directed to the use of vaporisable material as defined in the first aspect of the invention in a vapour-generating device.
  • the present invention provides a vapour-generating device comprising vaporisable material as defined according to the first aspect of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 is a side cross-sectional schematic view of a heating device comprising a capsule according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a side cross-sectional view through a plug and capsule in accordance with the invention.
  • moisture content refers to the amount of moisture (i.e. water) present in a given material, e.g. vaporisable material, including plant material such as tobacco.
  • the term “vaporisable” has its usual meaning in the art, referring to a material that is capable of being converted to from a solid or liquid state to a gaseous state upon heating.
  • Moisture content is an important parameter of the chemical composition of vaporisable materials, and in particular of the plant material such as tobacco.
  • the moisture content of vaporisable materials, and the components of vaporisable materials, may affect various properties of the material, including:
  • the present inventors have observed that the mouthpiece portion of a vapour-generating device becomes hot if the moisture content of the tobacco component of the vaporisable material is elevated. This is believed to be due to the tendency of water contained in the vapour to transfer heat from the oven or heat source to the mouthpiece.
  • the inventors have also observed that reducing the moisture content of the tobacco component of the vaporisable material can affect the flavour and/or taste of the vaporisable material when it is inhaled by a user.
  • the flavour and/or taste of tobacco can become harsh and unpleasant if the moisture content is too low.
  • the present invention provides a vaporisable material suitable for use in a vapour-generating device, comprising tobacco having a moisture content of from about 3 to 5 wt %.
  • the tobacco has a moisture content of about 4 wt %.
  • these wt % values are based on the total weight of the tobacco component only; these wt % values are not based on the total weight of the vaporisable material.
  • suitable forms of tobacco include leaf, STEM, expanded tobacco blend and reconstituted tobacco blend.
  • the inventors have also observed that the vaporisable material of the invention when used in a vapour-generating device can significantly reduce or avoid noise generation when heated to produce a vapour.
  • flavour ratio is defined based on tobacco weight
  • lower moisture content results in more perceived flavour levels on the first puff on a vapour-generating device containing the vaporisable material, compared to tobacco material having higher moisture levels, due to less dilution of the vapour in the low moisture-containing material.
  • higher moisture results in less vapour volume in the first puffs, which creates a poor first puff impression and is unsatisfactory for consumers.
  • vaporisable material comprising tobacco that has a moisture content lower than about 3 wt % has a harsh taste and is associated with increased irritation when inhaled.
  • the term “taste” has its usual meaning, and refers to the chemical sensation produced when inhaled vapours produced by heating the vaporisable material of the invention reacts chemically with taste bud receptors in the mouth of a user.
  • the sensation of taste can be categorized into five basic tastes: sweetness; sourness; saltiness; bitterness; and umami.
  • a heat source preferably a halogen lamp, is set to a temperature of 105° C. and ⁇ 2 g of tobacco sample is placed in a weighing chamber and heated by the lamp. The weight of the sample due moisture loss is measured until a constant weight is reached. The moisture content is calculated by subtracting the dried sample weight (W D ) from the initial sample weight (W I ), dividing by the dried sample weight, and multiplying by 100:
  • a vaporisable material according to the invention comprises tobacco having a moisture content as described herein and also comprises a humectant.
  • a humectant is a hygroscopic substance that has an affinity to form hydrogen bonds with molecules of water and is used to produce a visible exhaled aerosol (i.e. vapour) when the product is in use.
  • Suitable humectants for inclusion in a vaporisable material according to the present invention include propylene glycol, also known as 1,2-propanediol or propane-1,2-diol and having the formula C 3 H 8 O 2 or HO—CH 2 —CHOH—CH 3 , and glycerol, also known as glycerine and having the formula C 3 H 8 O 3 .
  • the humectant is propylene glycol.
  • the vaporisable material of the invention comprises at least 20 wt % of a humectant, and preferably the amount of humectant present is from 20 to 60 wt %, most preferably about 40 to 50 wt %. These wt % values are based on the total weight of the vaporisable material, including the tobacco material and the humectant.
  • the moisture content of the vaporisable material differs from blend to blend, but it is preferably within the range of 1 to 4 wt %, when the moisture content of the tobacco component lies in the range from about 3 to 5 wt % and the amount of humectant ranges from about 20 wt % to about 60 wt %.
  • the overall wt % moisture content of the vaporisable material comprising tobacco material and humectant will be lower than the moisture content of the tobacco material alone, due to humectants having low moisture content.
  • the moisture content of a final vaporisable tobacco product may be obtained by Karl Fischer titration, following extraction of the vaporisable material in a suitable solvent such as methanol, or by heating the vaporisable material in a Stromboli sample oven.
  • the Karl Fischer titration method is described in Fischer, K., Angew. Chem . (1935) 48 (26): 394-396.
  • the vaporisable material of the invention is suitable for use in a vapour-generating device, such as a tobacco-heating device.
  • a vapour-generating device such as a tobacco-heating device.
  • An example of such a device can be found in PCT publication WO 2009/079641.
  • the device is capable of maintaining the moisture content of the tobacco component of the vaporisable material within the range of from about 3 to 5 wt %, and most preferably about 4 wt %.
  • the present inventors have observed that when a vaporisable material as defined herein is inhaled using a vapour-generating device, higher moisture contents of the material correspond to an increased harshness in the flavour.
  • the vaporisable material is preferably provided in a sealed package, which functions as an absolute barrier enabling the moisture content and flavour to be retained over time.
  • sealed package refers to a gas-impermeable container having a hermetic closure and in the context of the present invention is preferably a capsule.
  • the sealed package is configured to be made open ready to release a vapour when heated by a vaporising device.
  • the vaporisable material should be processed and packaged as quickly as possible to ensure that atmospheric moisture is not absorbed into the material.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a tobacco heating device 1 of the type generally described in PCT publication WO 2009/079641.
  • the device has a mouthpiece 10 , body 11 , heater 12 , heating chamber 13 and a fuel supply 14 .
  • the device also usually has control components to regulate the temperature of the device particularly within the heating chamber to control a container 20 placed within the device in use.
  • control components to regulate the temperature of the device particularly within the heating chamber to control a container 20 placed within the device in use.
  • this example device uses a combustible fuel as a heat source, it will be appreciated that the device may have another type of heat source and power supply, such as an electrical heater and battery, for example.
  • a capsule 20 is inserted into the heating chamber 13 , and the heater 12 supplied with fuel from the fuel tank 14 to heat the heating chamber 13 , under the control of a user.
  • the capsule 20 contains a plug of vaporisable material comprising tobacco material having a moisture content of from about 3 to 5 wt %, in accordance with the present invention.
  • the contents of the capsule are heated by the heater 12 to create an aerosol vapour based on the contents of the container, that aerosol then being inhaled by the user via the mouth piece 10.
  • a plug of vaporisable material 25 comprising tobacco material having a moisture content of from about 3 to 5 wt % according to the invention is shown.
  • the plug is provided in a capsule 20 . It is possible to provide the plug in a user-removable wrapper which is taken off prior to insertion of the plug 25 into the heating chamber 13 of the device 1 or to supply the plug 25 in a dispenser which inserts the plug 25 into the device 1 to avoid handling by a user.
