It is to provide.
より具体的には、本発明は、喫煙による心身の安らぎ、健康及び美容の増進に役立つ効果がある香気成分を多く含む被子植物の特定部位等の各種素材を主成分として配合したスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物、その組成物を用いたスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材、及び、そのスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を用いた芳香カートリッジに関するものである。 More specifically, the present invention is a stick-type heated material containing various materials such as specific parts of angiosperms containing a large amount of aroma components, which are effective in improving the mind and body, health and beauty of smoking. The present invention relates to an aroma generating base material composition, a stick-type heated aroma generating base material using the composition, and an aroma cartridge using the stick type heated aroma generating base material.
近年、タバコの分煙及び禁煙が、職場や飲食店等の人々が集う空間に幅広く普及する傾向に従って、紙巻きタバコ等のように、火炎で燃焼したタバコの煙を吸う喫煙愛好者が減少するのに対し、ヒーター等の熱源によって伝達された熱によって発生する煙や蒸気を吸引する加熱式喫煙具である電子タバコを利用する喫煙愛好者が急激に増加している。この原因は、従来の火炎式喫煙によれば、喫煙者及びその周囲の非喫煙者が、タバコの葉及び紙の熱分解及び燃焼によって生成される有害物質を吸引するのに対し、電子タバコによれば、タバコの葉の熱分解及び燃焼によることがない、組成物を非タバコ原料とした無害な煙や蒸気を喫煙者が吸引し、喫煙を楽しむことができる上、その周囲の非喫煙者に及ぼす影響も低減できるためである。 In recent years, as smoking separation and smoking cessation have become widespread in spaces where people gather, such as workplaces and restaurants, the number of smoking enthusiasts who smoke flame-burned cigarettes, such as cigarettes, has decreased. On the other hand, the number of smoking enthusiasts who use electronic cigarettes, which are heated smoking tools that suck smoke and steam generated by heat transmitted by heat sources such as heaters, is rapidly increasing. The cause of this is that, according to conventional flame-type smoking, smokers and non-smokers around them inhale harmful substances produced by thermal decomposition and burning of tobacco leaves and paper, whereas electronic cigarettes According to this, smokers can inhale harmless smoke and steam made from the composition as a non-cigarette material, which is not caused by thermal decomposition and burning of tobacco leaves, and can enjoy smoking, and non-smokers around them. This is because the influence on the smoking can be reduced.
このような電子タバコには、代別すると二種類ある(非特許文献1及び2)。一つは、タバコの葉等が入ったカプセルやスティックを加熱して煙等を吸引するカプセル型電子タバコ及びスティック型電子タバコである。もう一つは、香りや味のついた液体を加熱して発生させた蒸気を吸うリキッド型電子タバコである。 There are two types of such electronic cigarettes (Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2). One is a capsule-type electronic cigarette and a stick-type electronic cigarette that heat a capsule or stick containing tobacco leaves to suck smoke or the like. The other is a liquid electronic cigarette that absorbs the vapor generated by heating a scented or flavored liquid.
特に、スティック型電子タバコは、従来の紙巻タバコと、形態、喫煙方法、及び、味わい等における類似性が高い上、紙巻きタバコのような有害物質の吸引量が少ないため、その愛好者が多く、様々な開発が行われている(例えば、特許文献1~3)。具体的には、タバコ成分と共に、煙となるエアロゾルを発生させるエアロゾルフォーマ、香料、結合剤等で紙巻きタバコのようなスティック状に加工されたエアロゾル形成基材の集合体であるエアロゾル形成体にマウスピースが備えられたスティックを加熱式喫煙具に装着して喫煙する電子タバコである。その喫煙の仕組みは、エアロゾル形成基材が加熱式喫煙具の熱源と接触するように装着されて加熱されると、エアロゾル形成基材からエアロゾルフォーマを含む揮発物が放出されると同時に、この揮発物は、喫煙者の吸引によって空気と共に他端のマウスピース側に吸い込まれ、この揮発物の搬送工程において、エアロゾルフォーマの揮発物は冷却、凝縮して、煙のようなエアロゾルを形成すると共に、その他の揮発物は、喫煙者の口及び鼻に芳香を与え、その結果として喫煙を楽しむことができるというものである(特許文献2)。この仕組みによれば、スティック型電子タバコのような加熱式喫煙の場合、エアロゾル形成基材に含まれるグリセリンまたはプロピレングリコール等のエアロゾルフォーマを揮発させることができる200~350℃程度、すなわち、タバコの葉の熱分解が開始する程度の温度で喫煙できる。このため、加熱式喫煙は、少なくとも燃焼するために必要な600℃、更に喫煙時には900℃を超える温度で燃焼する火炎式喫煙の場合と比較して、温度の上昇と共に発生量が多いと言われている有害物質の発生が抑制され、健康に悪影響を及ぼすことが少ない。 In particular, stick-type electronic cigarettes have a high degree of similarity to conventional cigarettes in terms of form, smoking method, taste, etc., and because the amount of harmful substances such as cigarettes sucked is small, many enthusiasts. Various developments have been carried out (for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3). Specifically, a mouse is applied to an aerosol-forming body, which is an aggregate of an aerosol-forming base material processed into a stick shape like a cigarette with an aerosol former, a fragrance, a binder, etc., which generates an aerosol that becomes smoke together with a tobacco component. An electronic cigarette that smokes by attaching a stick equipped with a piece to a heated aerosol. The mechanism of smoking is that when the aerosol-forming base material is attached and heated so as to come into contact with the heat source of the heating type smoking equipment, volatile substances including the aerosol former are released from the aerosol-forming base material, and at the same time, this volatilization occurs. The substance is sucked into the mouthpiece side at the other end together with the air by the smoker's suction, and in the process of transporting the volatile matter, the volatile matter of the aerosol former is cooled and condensed to form an aerosol like smoke, and at the same time. Other volatiles give aroma to the smoker's mouth and nose, and as a result, they can enjoy smoking (Patent Document 2). According to this mechanism, in the case of heat-not-burn smoking such as a stick-type electronic cigarette, the aerosol former such as glycerin or propylene glycol contained in the aerosol-forming substrate can be volatilized at about 200 to 350 ° C., that is, the cigarette. You can smoke at a temperature at which the thermal decomposition of the leaves begins. For this reason, it is said that the amount of heat-not-burn smoking is increased as the temperature rises, as compared with the case of flame-type smoking, which burns at least 600 ° C, which is necessary for burning, and at a temperature exceeding 900 ° C when smoking. The generation of harmful substances is suppressed, and there is little adverse effect on health.
また、リキッド型電子タバコは、スティック型電子タバコと異なり、タバコ成分が含まれておらず、コーヒー、コーラ、レッドブル等の飲料、チョコ、バニラ、クリーム等のデザート、オレンジ、レモン、メロン等の果物、メンソール、ミント、ハーブ等の清涼剤等、様々な味わいを楽しむことができる新しい喫煙具である(非特許文献2)。具体的には、プロピレングリコール及び植物性グリセリンに香料を混合した液体を加熱して蒸発した揮発物を吸引する電子タバコである。有害物質が全く入っておらず、タールやニコチンも発生することがなく、多種多様な味わいを楽しめるということに最大の特徴があり、実際に、多種多様なリキッドが販売されている。 Unlike stick-type e-cigarettes, liquid-type e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco components, and beverages such as coffee, cola and red bull, desserts such as chocolate, vanilla and cream, and fruits such as oranges, lemons and melons. , Mensole, mint, refreshing agents such as herbs, etc., is a new smoking tool that allows you to enjoy various tastes (Non-Patent Document 2). Specifically, it is an electronic cigarette that heats a liquid obtained by mixing a fragrance with propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin and sucks the evaporated volatile matter. It does not contain any harmful substances, does not generate tar or nicotine, and has the greatest feature of being able to enjoy a wide variety of flavors. In fact, a wide variety of liquids are on sale.
このような二つの電子タバコに基づいて、両者の特徴を融合した電子タバコが開発されている(特許文献4)。上述したように、従来のスティック型電子タバコの加熱されるスティック状に加工されたエアロゾル形成基材にはタバコ成分が含まれていたため、少量とはいえ、有害物質の発生、タールやニコチンも発生していた。そこで、特許文献4では、スティック型電子タバコの課題であったタバコ成分を含まないスティック型電子タバコが開示されている。すなわち、このスティック型電子タバコは、タバコ成分の代わりに、喫煙による心身の安らぎ、健康及び美容の増進に役立つ効果がある香気だけを発生させる非タバコ植物を採用し、エアロゾルフォーマ、香料、結合剤等を配合したスティック型電子タバコである。 Based on these two electronic cigarettes, an electronic cigarette that combines the characteristics of both has been developed (Patent Document 4). As mentioned above, since the aerosol-forming base material processed into a heated stick of the conventional stick-type electronic cigarette contains a tobacco component, a small amount of harmful substances are generated, and tar and nicotine are also generated. Was. Therefore, Patent Document 4 discloses a stick-type electronic cigarette that does not contain a tobacco component, which has been a problem of stick-type electronic cigarettes. That is, this stick-type e-cigarette uses a non-tobacco plant that produces only aroma that has the effect of helping to comfort the mind and body, health and beauty by smoking, instead of the tobacco component, aerosol former, fragrance, binder. It is a stick-type electronic cigarette containing the above.
しかしながら、この非タバコ植物を用いたスティック型電子タバコには、リキッド型電子タバコとは異なり、エアロゾル形成基材をスティック状に加工して、その配合物が脱落することなく固着していなければならない。しかし、エアロゾルフォーマと共に揮発して形成されたエアロゾルを吸引した時に、口腔内全体で感じる香りである「フレーバー」が強く感じられる香気成分を多量に含む素材は一般に繊維質が少なく、これらの素材を固着することが難しいため、スティック型電子タバコは、リキッド型電子タバコのような強い味わいや清涼感を口腔内全体で感じさせることが困難であった。それに伴って、スティック型電子タバコは、味わいの種類を限定せざるを得なかった。 However, unlike liquid e-cigarettes, stick-type e-cigarettes using this non-tobacco plant must have an aerosol-forming substrate processed into a stick shape and the formulation must adhere without falling off. .. However, when inhaling the aerosol formed by volatilizing with the aerosol former, the material containing a large amount of aroma component that gives a strong "flavor", which is the scent felt in the entire oral cavity, generally has less fiber, and these materials are used. Since it is difficult to fix the stick-type electronic cigarette, it is difficult to give a strong taste and a refreshing feeling like the liquid-type electronic cigarette in the entire oral cavity. Along with this, stick-type electronic cigarettes had to limit the types of taste.
このスティック状エアロゾル形成基材固有の課題は、従来のタバコ成分を含むスティック型電子タバコについても認められる。例えば、特許文献1では、エアロゾルフォーマ、香料、結合剤、及び、タバコ材料を少なくとも含むエアロゾル形成基材のためのタバコシートが記載されているが、そのタバコシートには、タバコ処理中に生じたタバコ葉片、タバコ茎、タバコ粉塵、及び/又はタバコ葉の主要葉身片がタバコ材料として用いられ、少なくとも50重量%以上含まれている。また、特許文献2には、エアロゾルフォーマ、香料、結合剤、及び、タバコ材料を少なくとも含む細長いストランドで構成されているエアロゾル形成基材が記載されているが、ストランドには少なくとも75重量%以上のタバコ材料が含まれている。 The problem peculiar to this stick-shaped aerosol-forming base material is also recognized for stick-type electronic cigarettes containing conventional tobacco components. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a tobacco sheet for an aerosol-forming substrate that contains at least an aerosol former, a fragrance, a binder, and a tobacco material, the tobacco sheet that occurs during tobacco processing. Tobacco leaf pieces, tobacco stems, tobacco dust, and / or major leaf blade pieces of tobacco leaves are used as tobacco materials and contain at least 50% by weight or more. Further, Patent Document 2 describes an aerosol-forming base material composed of an aerosol former, a fragrance, a binder, and an elongated strand containing at least a tobacco material, and the strand contains at least 75% by weight or more. Contains tobacco material.
このように、スティック型電子タバコは、スティック状のエアロゾル形成基材に加工しなければならないため、エアロゾルフォーマと共に揮発して生成されたエアロゾルを吸引した時に口腔内全体で感じる香りである「フレーバー」を感じさせる香気成分を多く含む素材や香料を大量に配合できず、タバコの葉、或いは、非タバコ植物が加熱して発生する香気成分と、「フレーバー」を感じさせる香気成分を多く含む素材や香料の香気成分とが複雑に混合された「フレーバー」を吸引することになるという課題を内在している。 In this way, stick-type electronic cigarettes must be processed into a stick-shaped aerosol-forming base material, so when the aerosol generated by volatilizing with the aerosol former is inhaled, the fragrance is felt throughout the oral cavity, "flavor". Materials and fragrances that contain a large amount of aroma components that make you feel "flavor" and materials that contain a lot of aroma components that are generated by heating tobacco leaves or non-tobacco plants, and materials that make you feel "flavor" There is an inherent problem of inhaling a "flavor" in which the aroma component of the fragrance is mixed in a complicated manner.
スティック型電子タバコは、リキッド型電子タバコとは異なり、スティック状エアロゾル形成基材に加工して、その配合物が脱落することなく固着していなければならないが、エアロゾルフォーマと共に揮発して形成されたエアロゾルを吸引した時に口腔内全体で感じる香りである「フレーバー」が強く感じられる香気成分を多量に含む素材は一般に繊維質が少なく、固着することが困難であるため、タバコの葉、或いは、非タバコ植物等を加えて固着する必要があった。その結果として、スティック型電子タバコは、タバコの葉、或いは、非タバコ植物が加熱して発生する香気成分と、「フレーバー」を感じさせる香気成分を多量に含む素材や香料の香気成分とが複雑に混合された「フレーバー」を吸引することになるという問題があり、リキッド型電子タバコのような強い味わいや清涼感を口腔内全体で感じさせることが困難であった。それに伴って、スティック型電子タバコは、味わいの種類を限定せざるを得なかった。 Unlike liquid e-cigarettes, stick-type e-cigarettes must be processed into a stick-like aerosol-forming substrate and the formulation must adhere without falling off, but they were formed by volatilizing with the aerosol former. A material containing a large amount of aroma components, which gives a strong "flavor" that is felt throughout the oral cavity when the aerosol is inhaled, is generally low in fiber and difficult to adhere to, so tobacco leaves or non-cigarette leaves. It was necessary to add tobacco plants and the like to fix them. As a result, stick-type electronic cigarettes are complicated by the aroma components generated by heating tobacco leaves or non-tobacco plants, and the aroma components of materials and fragrances that contain a large amount of aroma components that make them feel "flavor". There is a problem that the "flavor" mixed in the cigarette is sucked in, and it is difficult to make the strong taste and refreshing feeling like liquid type electronic cigarettes felt in the entire oral cavity. Along with this, stick-type electronic cigarettes had to limit the types of taste.
本発明は、このような課題を解決し、ナス科タバコ属であるタバコ及びその同属植物、並びに、その成分を全く含まず、「フレーバー」が強く感じられる、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を形成するための組成物、その組成物を用いたスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材、及び、そのスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を用いた芳香カートリッジを提供することを目的としている。 The present invention solves such a problem and provides a stick-type heated fragrance-generating base material that does not contain any tobacco belonging to the Solanaceae family, plants belonging to the same genus, and its components, and has a strong "flavor". It is an object of the present invention to provide a composition for forming, a stick-type heated aroma generating base material using the composition, and an aroma cartridge using the stick-type heated aroma generating base material.
更に詳しくは、本発明は、熱源によって伝達された熱によってエアロゾルを発生するエアロゾルフォーマを含有するスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を形成するための組成物であって、エアロゾルフォーマと、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を加熱してエアロゾルと共に吸引した時に口に漂う香りであるフレーバーを放つ香気成分を含む素材と、この香気成分を含む素材が有する香気成分を含む液状成分を寄留させる吸着材とを含むスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物であることを特徴としている。更に、本発明は、その組成物を用いたスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材、及び、そのスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を用いた芳香カートリッジを提供するものである。 More specifically, the present invention is a composition for forming a stick-type heated aromatic base material containing an aerosol former that generates an aerosol by heat transferred by a heat source, and the aerosol former and the stick-type substrate. A material containing an aroma component that emits a flavor that drifts in the mouth when the heated aroma generating base material is heated and sucked together with an aerosol, and an adsorbent that retains a liquid component containing the aroma component of the material containing this aroma component. It is a stick-type aerosol-generating substrate composition containing. Furthermore, the present invention provides a stick-type heated fragrance-generating base material using the composition and an fragrance cartridge using the stick-type heated fragrance-generating base material.
なお、従来、加熱要素に挿入され加熱されることによって、エアロゾルを生成するエアロゾルフォーマを揮発すると共に、芳香原材や芳香剤の香り成分も揮発する基材は、「エアロゾル形成基材」と呼称されることが一般的であったが、エアロゾルの煙と芳香原材や芳香剤の香りを喫煙によって楽しむことから、本発明においては、「被加熱芳香発生基材」と呼称する。これに基づき、エアロゾル形成基材の集合体を「被加熱芳香発生源」、エアロゾル発生源を備えた「電子タバコ」、「電子タバコカートリッジ」、及び、「カートリッジ」等と呼称されてきたものを「芳香カートリッジ」、並びに、「芳香カートリッジ」を装着して喫煙する加熱要素を備えた「喫煙具」を「芳香具」と呼称する。 Conventionally, a base material that volatilizes an aerosol former that produces an aerosol by being inserted into a heating element and is heated, and also volatilizes an aerosol raw material or a fragrance component of an air freshener is called an "aerosol-forming base material". However, in the present invention, it is referred to as a "heated aroma generating base material" because the smoke of the aerosol and the aroma of the aromatic raw material and the air freshener are enjoyed by smoking. Based on this, the aggregate of aerosol-forming base material has been called "heated aroma source", "electronic cigarette" equipped with an aerosol source, "electronic cigarette cartridge", "cartridge", etc. An "aroma cartridge" and a "smoking tool" provided with a heating element for smoking with the "fragrance cartridge" attached are referred to as an "aroma tool".
特に、本発明の芳香カートリッジとは、タバコ成分が含まれておらず、少なくともグリコール類やグリセリン等のエアロゾルフォーマと香気成分を含む素材とから構成される被加熱芳香発生基材に、少なくともマウスピースを備え、包装部材で巻かれたスティック状のもので、この芳香カートリッジは、熱源が備えられた加熱式芳香具に装着され、加熱されて生成するエアロゾルフォーマの揮発物の冷却・凝縮によって形成される煙に見えるエアロゾルと加熱されて放出される香気成分とをマウスピースから吸引し、口腔内及び鼻腔内で、エアロゾルの煙と芳香を楽しむために使用する、紙巻きタバコ等と取り扱いは似ているが、煙も芳香も全く異なる嗜好品である。従って、本発明の芳香カートリッジは、タバコ成分に基づく芳香ではなく、コーヒー、コーラ、レッドブル等の飲料、チョコ、バニラ、クリーム等のデザート、オレンジ、レモン、メロン等の果物、及び、メンソール、ミント、ハーブ等の清涼剤等の芳香を楽しむことができるものである。 In particular, the fragrance cartridge of the present invention is a base material for generating a fragrance to be heated, which does not contain a cigarette component and is composed of at least an aerosol former such as glycols and glycerin and a material containing an aroma component, and at least a mouthpiece. This fragrance cartridge is mounted on a heated fragrance equipped with a heat source and is formed by cooling and condensing the volatile matter of the aerosol former generated by heating. The handling is similar to that of cigarettes, etc., which sucks the aerosol that looks like smoke and the aroma component that is released by heating from the mouthpiece and uses it to enjoy the smoke and aroma of the aerosol in the oral cavity and nasal cavity. However, it is a luxury item with completely different smoke and aroma. Therefore, the aroma cartridge of the present invention is not an aroma based on tobacco components, but beverages such as coffee, cola and red bull, desserts such as chocolate, vanilla and cream, fruits such as orange, lemon and melon, and menthol and mint. You can enjoy the aroma of refreshing agents such as herbs.
本発明者は、多種多様な被子植物の各部位等の各種素材に含まれる香気成分を調査した結果、喫煙による心身の安らぎ、健康及び美容の増進に役立つ効果がある香気成分を多量に含む素材を見出すと共に、この素材を構成する香気成分を含む組成物を寄留させる吸着材を見出し、本発明の完成に至った。更に、この香気成分を多く含む素材を主成分として配合した被加熱芳香発生基材組成物には、スティック状の被加熱芳香発生基材に加工され得るための固着可能な保持材を配合することが好ましいことを見出し、本発明の完成度を高めることができた。 As a result of investigating the aroma components contained in various materials such as various parts of angiosperms, the present inventor has found that a material containing a large amount of aroma components that is effective in improving the mind and body, health and beauty of smoking. At the same time, he found an adsorbent for retaining a composition containing an aroma component constituting this material, and completed the present invention. Further, the heated aroma generating base material composition containing a material containing a large amount of aroma components as a main component is mixed with a stickable holding material that can be processed into a stick-shaped heated aroma generating base material. Was found to be preferable, and the degree of perfection of the present invention could be improved.
すなわち、本発明は、少なくとも、熱源によって伝達された熱によってエアロゾルを生成するエアロゾルフォーマを含有するスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を形成するための組成物であって、エアロゾルフォーマと、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を加熱してエアロゾルと共に吸引した時に口に漂う香りであるフレーバーを放つ香気成分を多量に含む素材と、この香気成分を含む素材が有する香気成分を含む液状成分を寄留させる吸着材とを含むスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物である。より好ましくは、本発明は、スティック状の被加熱芳香発生基材に加工できる保持材を更に含むスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物である。 That is, the present invention is a composition for forming at least a stick-type heated aromatic base material containing an aerosol former that generates an aerosol by heat transferred by a heat source, and the aerosol former and the stick-type cover. Heated aroma generation Adsorption that retains a material containing a large amount of aroma component that emits a flavor that is a scent that drifts in the mouth when the substrate is heated and sucked together with an aerosol, and a liquid component containing the aroma component of the material containing this aroma component. A stick-type aerosol-generating base composition containing a material. More preferably, the present invention is a stick-type heated aroma generating base material composition further containing a holding material that can be processed into a stick-shaped heated aroma generating base material.
このような吸着材としては、架橋ポリビニルピロリドン(PVP)又はシリカ粉末であることが好ましい。その他、キトサン、キトサン誘導体、活性炭、酸化アルミニウム、活性白土、及び、ゼオライト等も好ましく用いられる。架橋PVPは、BASF欧州会社製のダイバガン(登録商標)やISP株式会社製ポリクラール(登録商標)VTに代表される市販品をそのまま使用することができる。一方、シリカ粉末は、主としてインキや塗料等のレオロジー特性を改善するために用いられるフュームドシリカに代表される、一次粒子径が数十nmオーダーの真球状シリカ粒子から、インキや塗料等のアンチブロッキング剤や艶消し剤又は塗料やゴム等の補強剤等に使用される一次粒子径が数μmの真球状シリカ粒子まで幅広く使用することができる。しかし、本発明の吸着材としては、一次粒子径がサブミクロンオーダー、すなわち、平均一次粒子径が0.1~1.0μmの真球状シリカ粒子であることが好ましい。このようなシリカ粉末としては、例えば、株式会社日本触媒製高純度シリカ球状微粒子粉体シーホスター(登録商標)KE-SのP10(平均一次粒子径:0.1μm)、P30(平均一次粒子径:0.3μm)、P50(平均一次粒子径:0.5μm)、及び、P100(平均一次粒子径:1.0μm),並びに、東亜合成株式会社製機能性球状シリカHPS-0500(平均一次粒子径:0.5μm)及びHPS-1000(平均一次粒子径:1.0μm)、並びに、パウダーテクノロジー株式会社製サブミクロン球状シリコンマイクロパウダーHM051-11(平均一次粒子径:0.5μm)等を挙げることができる。このようなシリカ粉末の表面は、シラノール基が高濃度で分布している親水性表面であるが、アルキルクロロシランやアルコキシシラン等で疎水化したシリカ粉末も使用することができる。特に、香気成分を含む素材が親油性成分を多く含む場合には、疎水化したシリカ粉末が好ましい。更に、インキや塗料等一般的な工業製品に使用されるシリカ粉末は多孔質シリカ粉末ではないが、触媒の担持体や吸着材として使用する場合には、数nm~数十nmの細孔を有する極めて比表面積が大きい多孔質シリカ粉末が採用される。従って、本発明のシリカ粉末としても多孔質シリカ粉末を使用することは好ましい。キトサン、キトサン誘導体、活性炭、酸化アルミニウム、活性白土、及び、ゼオライト等は、粉末状で使用することが好ましい。ゼオライトは、天然ゼオライト及び人口ゼオライトいずれも使用でき、球状、ペレット状、中空糸状に加工したゼオライトも好ましく使用することができる。 As such an adsorbent, crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) or silica powder is preferable. In addition, chitosan, chitosan derivatives, activated carbon, aluminum oxide, activated clay, zeolite and the like are also preferably used. As the crosslinked PVP, commercially available products such as Daibagan (registered trademark) manufactured by BASF European Company and Polyclar (registered trademark) VT manufactured by ISP Co., Ltd. can be used as they are. On the other hand, silica powder is composed of spherical silica particles having a primary particle diameter on the order of several tens of nm, which is typified by fumed silica used mainly for improving the rheological properties of inks and paints, and anti-inks and paints. It can be widely used up to spherical silica particles having a primary particle diameter of several μm, which are used as blocking agents, matting agents, reinforcing agents such as paints and rubbers. However, the adsorbent of the present invention is preferably spherical silica particles having a primary particle diameter on the order of submicrons, that is, an average primary particle diameter of 0.1 to 1.0 μm. Examples of such silica powder include P10 (average primary particle size: 0.1 μm) and P30 (average primary particle size:) of KE-S, a high-purity silica spherical fine particle powder Seahoster (registered trademark) manufactured by Nippon Catalyst Co., Ltd. 0.3 μm), P50 (average primary particle size: 0.5 μm), P100 (average primary particle size: 1.0 μm), and functional spherical silica HPS-0500 (average primary particle size) manufactured by Toa Synthetic Co., Ltd. : 0.5 μm) and HPS-1000 (average primary particle size: 1.0 μm), and submicron spherical silicon micropowder HM051-11 (average primary particle size: 0.5 μm) manufactured by Powder Technology Co., Ltd. Can be done. The surface of such silica powder is a hydrophilic surface in which silanol groups are distributed at a high concentration, but silica powder hydrophobized with alkylchlorosilane, alkoxysilane, or the like can also be used. In particular, when the material containing an aroma component contains a large amount of lipophilic component, hydrophobicized silica powder is preferable. Furthermore, the silica powder used in general industrial products such as inks and paints is not a porous silica powder, but when used as a carrier for a catalyst or an adsorbent, it has pores of several nm to several tens of nm. A porous silica powder having an extremely large specific surface area is adopted. Therefore, it is preferable to use the porous silica powder as the silica powder of the present invention. Chitosan, chitosan derivatives, activated carbon, aluminum oxide, activated clay, zeolite and the like are preferably used in powder form. As the zeolite, both natural zeolite and artificial zeolite can be used, and zeolite processed into a spherical shape, a pellet shape, or a hollow thread shape can also be preferably used.
このような吸着材は、本発明の組成物から製造した被加熱芳香発生基材において、香気成分を含む素材が有する香気成分を含む液状成分、すなわち、香気成分を含む親油性成分、香気成分を含む親水性成分を寄留させ、水酸基、エーテル結合、エステル結合等の親水性基を有する香気成分を一時的に吸着して固定すると共に、香気成分を溶解している親油性成分及び親水性成分を保持する役割を果たしているが、喫煙する際に加熱されると、香気成分が速やかにエアロゾルフォーマと共に揮発していくものと考えられる。 Such an adsorbent contains a liquid component containing an aroma component contained in a material containing an aroma component, that is, a lipophilic component containing an aroma component and an aroma component in a heated aroma generating base material produced from the composition of the present invention. The hydrophilic components contained therein are retained, and the aroma components having hydrophilic groups such as hydroxyl groups, ether bonds, and ester bonds are temporarily adsorbed and fixed, and the lipophilic components and hydrophilic components in which the aroma components are dissolved are fixed. Although it plays a role of retaining, it is considered that the aroma component rapidly volatilizes together with the aerosol former when heated during smoking.
このような機能を果たすメカニズムは定かではないが、架橋PVPの場合は、主骨格を成す炭化水素で形成されるネットワークの親油性部と、側鎖に結合しているピロリドンの親水性部とを備えているため、親油性成分及び親水性成分を乳化することができる保護コロイドの機能を果たしているものと推測される。一方、シリカ粉末の場合には、その表面に高濃度で分布するシラノール基が親水性成分を吸着し、親油性成分が連続層、親水性成分が不連続層となり、保護コロイドで乳化された状態に類似した結果をもたらしているものと考えられる。また、多孔質シリカ粉末は、微細な細孔を多量に備えた膨大な比表面積による吸着能が深く関与しているものと考えられる。このような観点から、キトサン及びその誘導体は、アミノ基を有する高分子電解質で、架橋PVPと同様のメカニズムであると考えられる。そして、酸化アルミニウムは、表面に多量に存在する水酸基がシリカ同様の効果をもたらし、活性白土及びゼオライトは、微細な細孔を備えた膨大な比表面積による吸着能が、多孔質シリカ粉末同様の効果をもたらすものと考えられる。 The mechanism that performs such a function is not clear, but in the case of crosslinked PVP, the lipophilic part of the network formed by the hydrocarbons forming the main skeleton and the hydrophilic part of pyrrolidone bonded to the side chain are separated. Since it is provided, it is presumed that it functions as a protective colloid capable of emulsifying lipophilic and hydrophilic components. On the other hand, in the case of silica powder, silanol groups distributed at a high concentration on the surface adsorb the hydrophilic component, the lipophilic component becomes a continuous layer, the hydrophilic component becomes a discontinuous layer, and the state is emulsified with a protective colloid. It is considered that the result is similar to that of. Further, it is considered that the porous silica powder is deeply involved in the adsorption ability due to the enormous specific surface area provided with a large amount of fine pores. From this point of view, chitosan and its derivatives are polymer electrolytes having an amino group and are considered to have the same mechanism as crosslinked PVP. In aluminum oxide, a large amount of hydroxyl groups present on the surface bring about the same effect as silica, and in activated clay and zeolite, the adsorption ability due to the huge specific surface area with fine pores has the same effect as porous silica powder. Is thought to bring about.
架橋PVP、シリカ粉末、キトサン、キトサン誘導体活性炭、酸化アルミニウム、活性白土、及び、ゼオライト等は、このような吸着材として重要な機能を有すると共に、加熱しても香気成分が発生せず、香気成分を含む素材から発生する香気成分によって口腔内で感じるフレーバーに全く悪影響を及ぼすことがないという利点を備えている。 Crosslinked PVP, silica powder, chitosan, chitosan derivative activated carbon, aluminum oxide, activated clay, zeolite, etc. have important functions as such adsorbents, and do not generate aroma components even when heated, and aroma components. It has the advantage that the aroma component generated from the material containing silica does not adversely affect the flavor felt in the oral cavity.
そして、香気成分を含む素材は、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物の総質量の5~50質量%含まれている必要がある。5質量%未満では、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物から製造されるスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を加熱して吸引した時の口腔内で感知するフレーバーが不十分であって、50質量%を超えると、香気成分を含む素材の繊維が少なく、香気成分を含む液状成分が多いため、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物からスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材に成形加工する工程で、香気成分の含む素材の脱落等が生じたり、破断したりするという問題が発生する。また、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を加熱して吸引する際に、揮発物の通過を妨げるという問題もある。 Then, the material containing the aroma component needs to be contained in an amount of 5 to 50% by mass of the total mass of the stick-type heated aroma generating base material composition. If it is less than 5% by mass, the flavor perceived in the oral cavity when the stick-type heated aroma-generating base material produced from the stick-type heated aroma-generating base material is heated and sucked is insufficient, and 50 If it exceeds% by mass, the number of fibers of the material containing the aroma component is small and the amount of the liquid component containing the aroma component is large. Therefore, the step of molding the stick-type heated aroma-generating base material composition into a stick-type heated aroma-generating base material. As a result, there arises a problem that the material containing the aroma component falls off or breaks. In addition, there is also a problem that the passage of volatile substances is hindered when the stick-type heated aroma generating base material is heated and sucked.
このように配合される香気成分を含む素材に含まれる香気成分を含む液状成分を寄留させるためには、香気成分を含む素材と吸着材との配合比が、略1:1~43:1(質量比)であることが好ましい。43:1よりも吸着材が少ない場合、香気成分を含む液状成分を十分寄留させることができず、香気成分を含む液状成分が分離してくるという問題、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物からスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材に成形加工する工程で、香気成分の含む素材の脱落等が生じたり、破断したりするという問題、及び、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を加熱して吸引する際に、揮発物の通過を妨げるという問題がある。逆に、1:1よりも吸着材が多い場合、吸着材が水素結合によって強く水分を保持するため、乾燥時間が長くなるという問題がある。 In order to retain the liquid component containing the aroma component contained in the material containing the aroma component thus blended, the mixing ratio of the material containing the aroma component and the adsorbent is approximately 1: 1 to 43: 1 ( (Mass ratio) is preferable. When the amount of the adsorbent is less than 43: 1, the liquid component containing the aroma component cannot be sufficiently retained, and the liquid component containing the aroma component is separated, which is a stick-type heated aroma generating base material composition. In the process of molding the stick-type aroma-generating base material to be heated, the material containing the aroma component may fall off or break, and the stick-type aroma-generating base material to be heated may be heated and sucked. When doing so, there is a problem of hindering the passage of volatile substances. On the contrary, when there are more adsorbents than 1: 1, there is a problem that the drying time becomes long because the adsorbents strongly retain water by hydrogen bonds.
また、エアロゾルとして煙を生成するエアロゾルフォーマと、香気成分を含む素材及び吸着材とを配合するにあたっては、エアロゾルフォーマと、香気成分を含む素材及び吸着材の総量とが、略1.9:1~1:1(質量比)という配合比であることが好ましい。この配合比においては、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材として加熱して吸引した場合に、紙巻きタバコに類似した適度な煙を発生させることができる。 Further, in blending the aerosol former that generates smoke as an aerosol and the material and the adsorbent containing the aroma component, the total amount of the aerosol former and the material and the adsorbent containing the aroma component is approximately 1.9: 1. The compounding ratio of about 1: 1 (mass ratio) is preferable. At this compounding ratio, when the stick-type heated aroma generating base material is heated and sucked, an appropriate amount of smoke similar to that of cigarettes can be generated.
更に、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材の主組成物の総質量の5~25質量%の水を含んでいることが好ましい。水は、水道水、沸騰水、蒸留水、イオン交換水等を使用することができるが、製法に限定されない、一般的な純水であることが好ましい。5質量%未満であると、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物からスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材に成形加工する工程で、香気成分の含む素材の脱落等が生じたり、破断したりするという問題が発生する。25質量%を超えると、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物の粘度が低くなりすぎ、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材に成形加工することが困難になると共に、乾燥時間が長くなるという問題も生じる。 Further, it is preferable that it contains 5 to 25% by mass of water in the total mass of the main composition of the stick-type heated aroma generating base material. As the water, tap water, boiling water, distilled water, ion-exchanged water and the like can be used, but it is preferably general pure water, which is not limited to the production method. If it is less than 5% by mass, the material containing the aroma component may fall off or break in the step of molding from the stick-type heated aroma-generating base material composition to the stick-type heated aroma-generating base material. The problem occurs. If it exceeds 25% by mass, the viscosity of the stick-type heated aroma-generating base material composition becomes too low, which makes it difficult to mold the stick-type heated aroma-generating base material and increases the drying time. Also occurs.
このように、本発明のスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を形成するための組成物は、エアロゾルフォーマと、エアロゾルと共に吸引した時に口に漂う香り(フレーバー)を放つ香気成分を含む素材と、この香気成分を含む素材が有する香気成分を含む液状成分を寄留させる吸着材とを少なくとも含むが、第4の成分として、エアロゾルフォーマ、香気成分を含む素材、及び、吸着材を固着させる保持材を加えることがより好ましい。この保持材によりスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を更に安定して製造できるだけでなく、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材が加熱されて香気成分と共に揮発するエアロゾルフォーマが、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を抵抗なく通過し、心身が休まるフレーバーを味わう喫煙ができる。 As described above, the composition for forming the stick-type heated aroma generating base material of the present invention includes an aerosol former, a material containing an aroma component that emits a fragrance (flavor) that drifts in the mouth when sucked together with the aerosol, and the material. The material containing the aroma component contains at least an adsorbent for retaining the liquid component containing the aroma component, but as the fourth component, an aerosol former, a material containing the aroma component, and a holding material for fixing the adsorbent are added. Is more preferable. Not only can the stick-type heated aroma generating base material be more stably produced by this holding material, but also the aerosol former in which the stick-type heated aroma generating base material is heated and volatilizes together with the aroma component is a stick-type heated aroma generating group. You can smoke by passing through the wood without any resistance and enjoying a soothing flavor.
すなわち、本発明は、熱源によって伝達された熱によってエアロゾルを発生するエアロゾルフォーマを含有するスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を形成するための組成物であって、エアロゾルフォーマと、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を加熱してエアロゾルと共に吸引した時に口に漂う香り(フレーバー)を放つ香気成分を含む素材と、この香気成分を含む素材の香気成分を含む液状成分を寄留させる吸着材と、エアロゾルフォーマ、香気成分を含む素材、及び、吸着材を固着させる保持材とを含むことが、更に好ましい。 That is, the present invention is a composition for forming a stick-type heated fragrance generating base material containing an aerosol former that generates an aerosol by heat transferred by a heat source, and the aerosol former and the stick-type heated fragrance. A material containing an aroma component that emits a scent (flavor) that drifts in the mouth when the generated base material is heated and sucked together with an aerosol, an adsorbent that retains a liquid component containing the aroma component of the material containing this aroma component, and an aerosol former. It is more preferable to include a material containing an aroma component and a holding material for fixing the adsorbent.
保持材は、乾燥質量で30質量%以上の繊維(セルロース)を含む非タバコ材が好ましい。このように、繊維が多量に含まれている非タバコ材は、エアロゾルフォーマ、香気成分を含む素材、及び、吸着材を固着させる能力が高く、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物からスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材に成形加工する工程で、香気成分の含む素材の脱落等が生じたり、破断したりするという問題を解決することができる。しかも、繊維以外の成分が少ないため、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を加熱した際に、不要な香気成分が揮発することが少なく、香気成分を含む素材の香りだけを口腔内でフレーバーとして味わうことができるという長所がある。繊維自体も、いわゆる、セルロースであり、約350℃の分解温度で、200~250℃で揮発するエアロゾルファーマ等と混合されているため、揮発成分はほとんどない。 The holding material is preferably a non-tobacco material containing fibers (cellulose) of 30% by mass or more in dry mass. As described above, the non-tobacco material containing a large amount of fibers has a high ability to fix the aerosol former, the material containing the aroma component, and the adsorbent, and the stick type heated aroma generating base material composition to the stick type. It is possible to solve the problem that the material containing the aroma component falls off or breaks in the step of molding the substrate to generate the aroma to be heated. Moreover, since there are few components other than fibers, unnecessary aroma components are less likely to volatilize when the stick-type heated aroma generating base material is heated, and only the aroma of the material containing the aroma components can be tasted as a flavor in the oral cavity. It has the advantage of being able to do it. The fiber itself is so-called cellulose, and since it is mixed with an aerosol pharmacology or the like that volatilizes at a decomposition temperature of about 350 ° C. and 200 to 250 ° C., there is almost no volatile component.
更に、繊維の直径が10~50μmである非タバコ植物を使用することがより好ましい。これは、繊維の直径が細くなる程、エアロゾルフォーマ、香気成分を含む素材、及び、吸着材を固着させる能力がより高くなるためである。ただし、この繊維の下限値は、最も細い植物の繊維の直径に基づくものであって、意図的に設定されたものではない。 Further, it is more preferable to use a non-tobacco plant having a fiber diameter of 10 to 50 μm. This is because the smaller the diameter of the fiber, the higher the ability to fix the aerosol former, the material containing the aroma component, and the adsorbent. However, the lower limit of this fiber is based on the diameter of the fiber of the finest plant, and is not intentionally set.
繊維を乾燥質量で30質量%以上含む非タバコ植物としては、キントラノオ目アマ科の植物の茎葉、イラクサ目イラクサ科の植物の茎葉、アオイ目アオイ科の植物の茎葉、バラ目アサ科の植物の茎葉、ショウガ目バショウ科の植物の茎葉、キジカクシ目キジカクシ科の植物の茎葉、イネ目イネ科の植物の茎葉、イネ目カヤツリグサ科の植物の茎葉、イネ目イグサ科の植物の茎葉、イネ目ホシクサ科の植物の茎葉、イネ目ガマ科の植物の茎葉、イネ目パイナップル科の茎葉、キノコ(カサ、ヒダ、柄、ツバ、ツボ)、木綿、フトモモ目ジンチョウゲ科の植物の樹皮、及び、バラ目クワ科の植物の樹皮が挙げられ、それぞれ単独で使用することもできるし、複数選択して使用してもよい。 Non-tobacco plants containing 30% by mass or more of fiber in dry mass include the foliage of plants of the family Poales, the foliage of plants of the family Poales, the foliage of plants of the family Poales, and the plants of the family Poales.

上記具体例の中でも、キノコ以外の、繊維を乾燥質量で50質量%以上含む非タバコ植物の茎葉及び樹皮、並びに、木綿がより好ましい。ただし、キクラゲは50%以上の繊維を含み、好ましく用いられる。更に、繊維の直径が10~50μmであるラミー以外の非タバコ植物の茎葉及び樹皮、並びに、木綿がより更に好ましい。特に、リネン、ジュート、ケナフ、ヘンプ、マニラアサ、及び、サイザルアサ、コメ、オオムギ、コムギ、カラスムギ、ハトムギ、ライムギ、モロコシ、トウモロコシ、キビ、サトウキビ、アワ、オヒシバ、トウジンビエ、スズメノヒエ、ヒエ、フォニオ、マコモ、チヂミザサ、ススキ、エスパルト、コバンソウ、テフタケ、ササ、バンブー、パピルス、アゼナルコ、フトイ、テンツキ、イグサ、ホシクサ、ガマ、及び、パイナップルの茎葉が好ましい。 Among the above specific examples, the foliage and bark of non-tobacco plants containing 50% by mass or more of fibers in dry mass other than mushrooms, and cotton are more preferable. However, wood ear mushrooms contain 50% or more of fibers and are preferably used. Further, the foliage and bark of non-tobacco plants other than Lamy having a fiber diameter of 10 to 50 μm, and cotton are even more preferable. In particular, linen, jute, kenaf, hemp, Manila asa, and sisal, rice, barley, wheat, sorghum, barley, lime, sorghum, corn, millet, pearl millet, millet, millet, pearl millet, barley, Japanese millet, Japanese millet, Japanese millet, Japanese millet, Japanese millet, Japanese millet, Japanese millet.

このような保持材を使用する場合も、保持材を使用しない場合と同様の理由により、香気成分を含む素材は、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材の主組成物の総質量の5~50質量%含まれている必要がある。そして、香気成分を含む素材と吸着材と保持材との配合比が、略1:1:2~43:1:5(質量比)であることが好ましい。種々検討した結果、この配合比の範囲にあれば、吸着材が香気成分を含む液状成分を十分寄留させることができない(香気成分を含む液状成分が分離してくる)という問題、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物からスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材に成形加工する工程で、香気成分を含む素材の脱落等が生じたり、破断したりするという問題、及び、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を加熱して吸引する際に、揮発物の通過を妨げるという問題等、各種諸問題を全て解決することができることを見出した。しかも、香気成分を含む素材を加熱して発生する香気成分によって口腔内で感じるフレーバーに悪影響を及ぼさないことも確認した。 Even when such a holding material is used, for the same reason as when no holding material is used, the material containing the aroma component is 5 to 50 mass by mass of the total mass of the main composition of the stick-type heated aroma generating base material. % Must be included. The blending ratio of the material containing the aroma component, the adsorbent, and the holding material is preferably approximately 1: 1: 2 to 43: 1: 5 (mass ratio). As a result of various studies, if the compounding ratio is within this range, the adsorbent cannot sufficiently retain the liquid component containing the aroma component (the liquid component containing the aroma component separates), and the stick type is heated. In the process of molding the aroma-generating base material composition into a stick-type heated aroma-generating base material, there is a problem that the material containing the aroma component falls off or breaks, and the stick-type heated aroma-generating group. It has been found that all the various problems such as the problem of hindering the passage of volatile substances when the material is heated and sucked can be solved. Moreover, it was also confirmed that the aroma component generated by heating the material containing the aroma component does not adversely affect the flavor felt in the oral cavity.
保持材を使用する場合には、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材として加熱して吸引し、紙巻きタバコに類似した適度な煙を発生させることができるエアロゾルフォーマの配合量は、エアロゾルフォーマと、香気成分を含む素材、吸着材、及び、保持材の総量との配合比で2:1~0.3:1(質量比)とすることが好ましい。 When a holding material is used, the amount of the aerosol former that can be heated and sucked as a stick-type heated fragrance generating base material to generate an appropriate amount of smoke similar to that of a cigarette is the aerosol former and the aroma. The blending ratio with the total amount of the material containing the component, the adsorbent, and the holding material is preferably 2: 1 to 0.3: 1 (mass ratio).
そして、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物からスティック型被加熱芳香体に加工するために必要な水の量は、保持材を使用しない場合同様、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材の主組成物の総質量の5~25質量%であれば、香気成分の含む素材の脱落等が生じたり、破断したりするという問題、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物の粘度が低くなりすぎ、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材に成形加工することが困難になる問題、及び、乾燥時間が長くなるという問題を生じることはない。 The amount of water required to process the stick-type heated fragrance-generating base material from the stick-type heated fragrance-generating base material is the main composition of the stick-type heated fragrance-generating base material, as in the case where the holding material is not used. If it is 5 to 25% by mass of the total mass of the substance, there is a problem that the material containing the aroma component falls off or breaks, and the viscosity of the stick-type heated aroma generating base material composition becomes too low. It does not cause a problem that it becomes difficult to mold the stick-type substrate to generate aroma to be heated and a problem that the drying time becomes long.
このように、香気成分を多量に含む素材を使用してスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を製造するためには、それを製造するための組成物中に吸着材を添加することが必須であり、更に、保持材を添加することがより好ましい。これは、以下に記載する香気成分を多量に含む具体的な素材から分かるように、香気成分を多量に含む素材が、香気成分を含む液状成分を多量に含んでいること、並びに、繊維があまり含まれていないことに起因している。 As described above, in order to produce a stick-type heated aroma generating base material using a material containing a large amount of aroma components, it is essential to add an adsorbent to the composition for producing the stick-type aroma generating base material. Further, it is more preferable to add a holding material. This is because, as can be seen from the specific materials containing a large amount of aroma components described below, the material containing a large amount of aroma components contains a large amount of liquid components containing aroma components, and the fibers are too much. It is due to not being included.
後述するように、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を製造するためには、香気成分を多量に含む素材を粉砕する工程や、その粉砕された素材を水に分散させる工程、更に、その分散液からシートを形成する工程等がある。これらの各工程において、香気成分を多量に含む素材から香気成分を含む液状成分が析出してくるため、その液状成分の吸着材がなければ、香気成分及び/又は液状成分が分離し、香気成分を含む素材が脱落したり、破断してシートを形成できない等の成形加工上の問題が発生する。また、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を加熱して吸引しても香気成分及びエアロゾルフォーマの揮発成分が通過することが困難な場合も生じる。これらは、香気成分を含む液状成分が、親油性成分の場合も、親水性成分の場合においても同様であるが、親油性成分の場合に顕著である。 As will be described later, in order to produce a stick-type heated aroma generating base material, a step of crushing a material containing a large amount of aroma components, a step of dispersing the crushed material in water, and a dispersion liquid thereof. There is a process of forming a sheet from. In each of these steps, a liquid component containing an aroma component is precipitated from a material containing a large amount of the aroma component. Therefore, if there is no adsorbent for the liquid component, the aroma component and / or the liquid component is separated and the aroma component is separated. Problems in molding processing occur, such as the material containing the above falling off or breaking to form a sheet. In addition, even if the stick-type heated aroma generating base material is heated and sucked, it may be difficult for the aroma component and the volatile component of the aerosol former to pass through. These are the same regardless of whether the liquid component containing the aroma component is a lipophilic component or a hydrophilic component, but is remarkable when the liquid component is a lipophilic component.
保持材を添加すると、保持材が、エアロゾルフォーマと、香気成分を含む素材、及び、吸着材を固着するため、香気成分を含む素材が脱落したり、破断してシートを形成できない等の成形加工上の問題を解決できる。また、繊維が適度な空間を作り、吸引による揮発成分の通過が容易に行われるようになる。しかも、繊維は加熱されても、香気成分を含む素材から発生する香気成分が口腔内で感じるフレーバーに悪影響を及ぼすことが少ない。 When the holding material is added, the holding material adheres the aerosol former, the material containing the aroma component, and the adsorbent, so that the material containing the aroma component falls off or breaks to form a sheet. The above problem can be solved. In addition, the fibers create an appropriate space, and the volatile components can be easily passed by suction. Moreover, even when the fibers are heated, the aroma components generated from the material containing the aroma components are less likely to adversely affect the flavor felt in the oral cavity.
このように、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材の生起加工が困難な香気成分を多量に含む素材としては、被子植物の果実の種子、被子植物の果実の果肉、被子植物の果実の果皮、被子植物の果実、及び、ハーブの茎葉が挙げられ、それぞれ単独で使用することもできるし、複数を選択して、口腔内で感じ取るフレーバーを調整することもできる。 As described above, as a material containing a large amount of aroma components that are difficult to generate a stick-type aroma-generating base material, angiosperm fruit seeds, angiosperm fruit pulp, angiosperm fruit skin, and angiosperms The fruits of plants and the foliage of herbs can be mentioned, and each of them can be used alone, or a plurality of them can be selected to adjust the flavor perceived in the oral cavity.
具体的には、被子植物の果実の種子として、例えば、マカダミアナッツ、ヘーゼルナッツ、クリ、クルミ、アーモンド、ペカンナッツ、カシューナッツ、ピスタチオナッツ、ブラジルナッツ、コーヒービーンズ、カカオビーンズ、バニラビーンズ、ナツメグ、コーラナッツ、ピーナッツ、ディル、クミン、ジュニパー、キャラウェー、セロリ、カルダモン、フェンネル、フェヌグリーク、パセリ、アジョワン、及び、アニスの種子等を挙げることができる。 Specifically, as seeds of angiosperm fruits, for example, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, walnuts, almonds, pecan nuts, cashew nuts, pistachio nuts, Brazilian nuts, coffee beans, cacao beans, vanilla beans, nutmegs, cola nuts, etc. Examples include peanuts, dill, cumin, juniper, caraway, celery, cardamon, fennel, phenuglique, parsley, ajowan, and anis seeds.
このような被子植物の果実の種子でも、焙煎されることによって香気が強くなるマカダミアナッツ、ヘーゼルナッツ、クリ、クルミ、アーモンド、ペカンナッツ、カシューナッツ、ピスタチオナッツ、ブラジルナッツ、コーヒービーンズ、カカオビーンズ、ナツメグ、コーラナッツ、及び、ピーナッツの種子は、焙煎して用いることがより好ましい。これは、焙煎によって、種子の構成成分が熱分解することによって香気成分が増加するためである。例えば、コーヒービーンズの場合、クロロゲン酸が分解したコーヒー酸やキナ酸等、小糖類が分解した酢酸や乳酸等によって香気成分が増加すると分析されている(非特許文献3)。 Even the seeds of the fruits of these angiosperms become more aroma when roasted. Macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, walnuts, almonds, pecan nuts, cashew nuts, pistachio nuts, Brazilian nuts, coffee beans, cacao beans, nuts, nuts, It is more preferable that the seeds of cola nuts and peanuts are roasted and used. This is because roasting increases the aroma components by thermally decomposing the components of the seeds. For example, in the case of coffee beans, it has been analyzed that the aroma component increases due to caffeic acid or quinic acid decomposed by chlorogenic acid, acetic acid or lactic acid decomposed by small sugars, or the like (Non-Patent Document 3).
一方、被子植物の果実の種子でも、発酵することによって香気成分が増加するものがあり、特に、バニラビーンズは発酵されたものが好ましい。 On the other hand, some angiosperm fruit seeds also have an aroma component that increases when fermented, and vanilla beans are particularly preferably fermented.
このような親油性成分である油脂を多量に含み、繊維が少ない種子が、香気成分を多量に含む素材として使用した場合においても、吸着材である架橋PVPの乳化作用、又は、シリカ粉末の吸水機能、及び、保持材の固着機能が極めて効果的に働くため、香気成分を含む液状成分を十分寄留させることができる。これにより、香気成分を含む液状成分が分離し、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物からスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材に成形加工する際の、香気成分を含む素材の脱落等やスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材の破断という問題やスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材を加熱して吸引する際の揮発物の通過を妨げるという問題も解決できる。 Even when seeds containing a large amount of fats and oils, which are lipophilic components, and have few fibers are used as a material containing a large amount of aroma components, the emulsifying action of the crosslinked PVP, which is an adsorbent, or the water absorption of silica powder. Since the function and the fixing function of the holding material work extremely effectively, the liquid component including the aroma component can be sufficiently retained. As a result, the liquid component containing the aroma component is separated, and when the stick-type heated aroma-generating base material composition is molded into the stick-type heated aroma-generating base material, the material containing the aroma component falls off or the stick type. It is also possible to solve the problem of breakage of the aroma generating base material to be heated and the problem of hindering the passage of volatile substances when the stick type aroma generating base material to be heated is heated and sucked.
被子植物の果実の果肉にも多量の香気成分が含まれており、具体的には、セイヨウナシ、ワナシ、チュウゴクナシ、モモ、ムクロジ目ミカン科ミカン属の植物の果実、リンゴ、バナナ、パイナップル、マンゴー、パッションフルーツ、キウイフルーツ、グァバ、ドリアン、マンゴスチン、パパイヤ、スターフルーツ、ライチ、スイカ、ペピーノ、アンズ、サクランボ、カリン、メロン、マクワウリ、オランダイチゴ、ラズベリー、ブルーベリー、カシス、ブドウ目ブドウ科ブドウ属のヴィニフェスカ種のブドウ、及び、ブドウ目ブドウ科ブドウ属のラブルスカ種のブドウの果肉をあげることができる。特に、ムクロジ目ミカン科ミカン属の植物の果実としては、バレンシアオレンジ、ウンシュウミカン、グレープフルーツ、レモン、ライム、及び、イヨカンが好ましい。 The flesh of the fruit of the ankle plant also contains a large amount of aroma components, specifically, the fruit of a plant belonging to the genus Grapevine, apple, banana, pineapple, peach, peach, grapevine, peach, Mango, passion fruit, kiwi fruit, guava, dorian, mangostin, papaya, star fruit, lychee, watermelon, pepino, apricot, sakurambo, carin, melon, macwauri, Dutch strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, cassis, grapevine The pulp of the Vinifesca grapes and the Labrusca grapes of the Grapevine genus can be mentioned. In particular, as fruits of plants belonging to the genus Citrus of the family Rutaceae of the order Sapindales, Valencia orange, Satsuma mandarin, grapefruit, lemon, lime, and Iyokan are preferable.
また、果実の果皮には、果肉以上に多量の香気成分が含まれている。特に、バレンシアオレンジ、ウンシュウミカン、グレープフルーツ、レモン、ライム、及び、イヨカンに代表されるムクロジ目ミカン科ミカン属の植物の果実の果皮が好ましい。 In addition, the peel of the fruit contains a larger amount of aroma components than the flesh of the fruit. In particular, the peels of the fruits of Valencia orange, Satsuma mandarin, grapefruit, lemon, lime, and plants of the genus Citrus of the order Rutaceae, represented by Iyokan, are preferable.
被子植物の果実としては、コリアンダー、オールスパイス、スターアニス、及び、コショウの果実が好ましく用いられる。 As the fruits of angiosperms, coriander, allspice, star anise, and pepper fruits are preferably used.
また、ハーブの茎葉としては、タラゴン、バジル、ローズマリー、及び、ラベンダーの茎葉、並びに、オールスパイス、オレガノ、タイム、ディル、パセリ、シソ目シソ科シソ属のペパーミント系植物、シソ目シソ科シソ属のスペアミント系植物、レモンバーム、ヒソップ、セイボリー、マジョラム、レモングラス、ローリエ、セージ、及び、レモンバーベナの葉が特に好ましい。 The foliage of herbs includes foliage of taragon, basil, rosemary, and lavender, as well as all spices, oregano, thyme, dill, parsley, peppermint plants of the genus Lamiales, Lamiales, and Lamiales. The leaves of the genus Peppermint, lemon balm, hissop, savory, majorum, lemongrass, laurier, sage, and lemon verbena are particularly preferred.
更に、香気成分を含む素材として、マカダミアナッツ、ヘーゼルナッツ、クリ、クルミ、アーモンド、ペカンナッツ、カシューナッツ、ピスタチオナッツ、ブラジルナッツ、コーヒービーンズ、カカオビーンズ、ナツメグ、及び、コーラナッツの種子を実らす植物の葉を用いることもできる。特に、コーヒーの葉には脳神経を活性化させるトリゴネリンや抗酸化作用を持つマンギフェリンを含んでおり、健康的な香気成分を含む素材として好ましく用いることができる(非特許文献4)。 In addition, the leaves of plants that produce seeds of macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, walnuts, almonds, pecan nuts, cashew nuts, pistachio nuts, brazil nuts, coffee beans, cacao beans, nutmeg, and cola nuts as materials containing aroma components. Can also be used. In particular, coffee leaves contain trigonelline that activates the cranial nerves and mangoerin that has an antioxidant effect, and can be preferably used as a material containing a healthy aroma component (Non-Patent Document 4).
このような被子植物の果肉、果皮、及び、果実全体を、香気成分を多量に含む素材として使用する場合にも、これらに含まれる香気成分は親油性であるものが多い上、繊維が少ないため、吸着材及び保持材が有用となる。特に、果実の果肉の場合、水分も多く含むため、水分を保持する機能を有する架橋PVP又はシリカ粉末の吸着材、並びに、保持材の固着機能の必要性が高くなる。 Even when the flesh, peel, and whole fruit of such angiosperms are used as materials containing a large amount of aroma components, the aroma components contained therein are often lipophilic and have few fibers. , Adsorbents and retainers are useful. In particular, in the case of fruit flesh, since it contains a large amount of water, the need for a crosslinked PVP or silica powder adsorbent having a function of retaining water and a function of fixing the retaining material is high.
一方、本発明のスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材に不可欠な煙を形成するためのエアロゾルフォーマは、吸着剤及び保持材を添加したため、香気成分を多量に含み、繊維が少ない素材であっても、一般的に使用される、プロピレングリコール、1,3-ブタンジオール、ソルビトール、エチレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール、トリエチレングリコール、テトラエチレングリコール、グリセリン、乳酸、モノアセチン(グリセリンモノアセタート)、ジアセチン(グリセリンジアセタート)、トリアセチン(グリセリントリアセタート)、トリエチレングリコールジアセタート、クエン酸トリエチル、ミリスチン酸イソプロピル、ステアリン酸メチル、ドデカンジ二酸ジメチル、テトラデカンサン二酸ジメチル、を単独で用いることもできるし、複数選択して用いることもできる。特に、プロピレングリコール、エチレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール、トリエチレングリコール、テトラエチレングリコール、グリセリン、モノアセチン(グリセリンモノアセタート)、ジアセチン(グリセリンジアセタート)から選択して用いることが好ましい。 On the other hand, the aerosol former for forming smoke, which is indispensable for the stick-type heated aroma generating base material of the present invention, contains a large amount of aroma components and has a small amount of fibers because an adsorbent and a holding material are added. , Commonly used, propylene glycol, 1,3-butanediol, sorbitol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, glycerin, lactic acid, monoacetin (glycerin monoacetylate), diacetin (glycerin diaceter) G), triacetin (glycerin triacetate), triethylene glycol diacetate, triethyl citrate, isopropyl myristate, methyl stearate, dimethyl dodecandidiate, dimethyl tetradecanthan diate, can also be used alone. Multiple selections can be used. In particular, it is preferable to select and use propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, glycerin, monoacetin (glycerin monoacetate), and diacetin (glycerin diacetate).
本発明のスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物には、更に増粘剤を添加することが好ましい。この増粘剤には、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物からスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材に成形加工するための組成物の粘度を調整すると共に、保持材を補助する役割がある。 It is preferable to further add a thickener to the stick-type heated aroma generating base material composition of the present invention. This thickener has a role of adjusting the viscosity of the composition for molding from the stick-type heated aroma-generating base material to the stick-type heated aroma-generating base material and assisting the holding material.
特に、増粘剤としては、多糖類系高分子である、コンニャクマンナン (グルコマンナン)、グアーガム、ペクチン、カラギーナン、タマリンシードガム、アラビアゴム、大豆多糖類、ローカストビーンガム、カラヤガム、キサンタンガム、及び、寒天、並びに、セルロース系高分子であるメチルセルロース、エチルセルロース、カルボキシメチルセルロース、カルボキシエチルセルロース、ヒドロキシメチルセルロース、ヒドロキシエチルセルロース、ヒドロキシプロピルセルロース、並びに、カルボキシメチルセルロース及びカルボキシエチルセルロースのナトリウム塩、カリウム塩、及び、カルシウム塩から選択される少なくとも一つ以上であることが好ましいが、カルボキシメチルセルロース、カルボキシエチルセルロース及びカルボキシメチルセルロース、並びに、カルボキシメチルセルロース及びカルボキシエチルセルロースのナトリウム塩、カリウム塩、及び、カルシウム塩から選択される一つ以上であることが、より好ましい。このような増粘剤であれば、繊維同様多糖類の一種であり、加熱による香気成分を含む素材から発生する香気成分により口腔内で感じるフレーバーに悪影響を及ぼすことはない。 In particular, as thickeners, polysaccharide-based polymers such as konjak mannan (glucomannan), guar gum, pectin, carrageenan, tamarin seed gum, arabic gum, soybean polysaccharide, locust bean gum, karaya gum, xanthan gum, and Select from agar and cellulose-based polymers methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxyethyl cellulose, hydroxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and sodium salt, potassium salt, and calcium salt of carboxymethyl cellulose and carboxyethyl cellulose. It is preferably at least one or more, but one or more selected from carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxyethyl cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose, and sodium salt, potassium salt and calcium salt of carboxymethyl cellulose and carboxyethyl cellulose. However, it is more preferable. Such a thickener is a kind of polysaccharide like fiber, and the aroma component generated from the material containing the aroma component by heating does not adversely affect the flavor felt in the oral cavity.
増粘剤の使用量は、香気成分を多量に含む素材によって適宜調整する必要があるが、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材の主組成物の総質量の1.0~5.0質量%の増粘剤を添加するだけでよい。 The amount of the thickener used needs to be appropriately adjusted depending on the material containing a large amount of aroma components, but is 1.0 to 5.0% by mass of the total mass of the main composition of the stick-type heated aroma generating base material. All you have to do is add a thickener.
吸着材を補助すると共に、特に、水酸基を有する香気成分を寄留するという観点から、水酸基を有するデキストリンの環状化合物であるβ-シクロデキストリンを吸着補助剤として添加することが好ましい。β-シクロデキストリンは、水酸基による水素結合だけでなく、環状構造の特殊性によって、メントールをゲスト分子、β-シクロデキストリンをホスト分子として、メントールと包摂化合物をつくることが知られている。多量に添加する必要はなく、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材の主組成物の総質量の0.2~1.0質量%でよい。このβ-デキストリンも多糖類の一種で、加熱による香気成分を含む素材から発生する香気成分により口腔内で感じるフレーバーに悪影響を及ぼすことはない。 It is preferable to add β-cyclodextrin, which is a cyclic compound of dextrin having a hydroxyl group, as an adsorption auxiliary agent, in addition to assisting the adsorbent, particularly from the viewpoint of retaining an aroma component having a hydroxyl group. It is known that β-cyclodextrin forms a clathrate and a clathrate compound using menthol as a guest molecule and β-cyclodextrin as a host molecule due to the peculiarity of the cyclic structure as well as the hydrogen bond by a hydroxyl group. It is not necessary to add a large amount, and it may be 0.2 to 1.0% by mass of the total mass of the main composition of the stick-type heated aroma generating base material. This β-dextrin is also a kind of polysaccharide, and the aroma component generated from the material containing the aroma component by heating does not adversely affect the flavor felt in the oral cavity.
また、保持材を補助する目的で、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物に微結晶セルロースを添加することが好ましい。これによって、次のような成形加工を一層安定して行うことができるようになる。後述するように、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物からスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材シートを形成する工程を経た後、香気成分やエアロゾルが好ましく吸引されるために、そのシートを、角柱状、円柱状、及び、粒状等に裁断する工程、そして、これらをスティック状に包装部材で巻く工程がある。これらの成形加工方法として、ロール成形やプレス成形等の方法が用いられるが、いずれにしてもステンレス等の金属から大きな圧縮力が組成物に負荷される。この際、この圧縮力によって、組成物の凝集破壊、金属との付着等が発生し、成形加工が困難な状況が生じる。このような問題を解決する方法として、微結晶セルロースを添加することが好ましい。 Further, it is preferable to add microcrystalline cellulose to the stick-type heated aroma generating base material composition for the purpose of assisting the holding material. As a result, the following molding process can be performed more stably. As will be described later, after the step of forming the stick-type heated aroma generating base material sheet from the stick-type heated aroma generating base material composition, the aroma component and the aerosol are preferably sucked, so that the sheet is horned. There is a step of cutting into a columnar shape, a columnar shape, a granular shape, and the like, and a step of winding these into a stick shape with a packaging member. As these molding methods, methods such as roll molding and press molding are used, but in any case, a large compressive force is applied to the composition from a metal such as stainless steel. At this time, due to this compressive force, cohesive fracture of the composition, adhesion with a metal, and the like occur, resulting in a situation in which molding processing is difficult. As a method for solving such a problem, it is preferable to add microcrystalline cellulose.
従来より、パルプを酸で加水分解・精製した、高純度の微結晶セルロースは、流動性のある粉末で、水、エタノール等の有機溶媒には溶解せず、医薬の錠剤成形用の賦形剤として用いられてきた。これは、微結晶セルロースの流動性と体積変化が大きい高圧縮性により、直打法による錠剤の成形における、凝集破壊の防止、金型との付着防止等に効果的であるためである。本発明においても、微結晶セルロースを添加することによって、例えば、三本ロールのロール成形によるシートの形成において、又、プレス成形等によるシートの裁断において、シートの凝集破壊及び金属との付着を効果的に防止することができる。 Conventionally, high-purity microcrystalline cellulose obtained by hydrolyzing and purifying pulp with acid is a fluid powder that does not dissolve in organic solvents such as water and ethanol, and is an excipient for tablet molding of pharmaceuticals. Has been used as. This is because the fluidity of the microcrystalline cellulose and the high compressibility with a large volume change are effective in preventing cohesive failure and adhesion to the mold in the molding of tablets by the direct striking method. Also in the present invention, by adding microcrystalline cellulose, for example, in the formation of a sheet by roll molding of three rolls and in the cutting of a sheet by press molding or the like, the cohesive failure of the sheet and the adhesion to a metal are effective. Can be prevented.
微結晶性セルロースとしては、その平均粒子径が、30~200μmであることが好ましく、保持材を補助する程度添加するだけでよく、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材の主組成物の総質量の1.0~5.0質量%添加することが好ましい。微結晶性セルロースも、加熱による香気成分を含む素材から発生する香気成分により口腔内で感じるフレーバーに悪影響を及ぼすことはない。 The average particle size of the microcrystalline cellulose is preferably 30 to 200 μm, and it is only necessary to add it to the extent that it assists the holding material, and the total mass of the main composition of the stick-type heated aroma generating base material. It is preferable to add 1.0 to 5.0% by mass. The microcrystalline cellulose also does not adversely affect the flavor felt in the oral cavity due to the aroma component generated from the material containing the aroma component due to heating.
また、非タバコ植物の様々な部位を使用したスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物であるため、抗菌性保存剤を添加することが好ましく、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材の主組成物の総質量の0.005~0.04質量%添加すればよい。抗菌性保存剤としては、ソルビン酸カリウム及び/又は安息香酸ナトリウムであることが好ましい。 Further, since it is a stick-type heated aroma-generating base material composition using various parts of non-tobacco plants, it is preferable to add an antibacterial preservative, and the main composition of the stick-type heated aroma-generating base material. 0.005 to 0.04% by mass of the total mass may be added. As the antibacterial preservative, potassium sorbate and / or sodium benzoate is preferable.
最後に、本発明のスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物に無機粒子を配合してもよい。無機粒子を添加して作製された被加熱芳香発生基材は、無機粒子を添加していない被加熱芳香発生基材と比較して、加熱式喫煙具の熱源に付着する汚れが少なくなるためである。配合量は、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材の主組成物の総質量に対し、0.05~10質量部が好ましく、0.1~5質量部がより好ましい。 Finally, inorganic particles may be added to the stick-type heated aroma generating base material composition of the present invention. This is because the heated aroma generating base material produced by adding inorganic particles has less dirt adhering to the heat source of the heat-not-burn smoking equipment than the heated aroma generating base material to which no inorganic particles are added. is there. The blending amount is preferably 0.05 to 10 parts by mass, more preferably 0.1 to 5 parts by mass, based on the total mass of the main composition of the stick-type heated aroma generating base material.
この効果は、無機粒子の材質や粒子径に大きく限定されず、酸化マグネシウム、酸化カルシウム、酸化チタン、酸化鉄、アルミナ等の金属酸化物、炭酸マグネシウム、炭酸カルシウム等の金属炭酸塩、リン酸カルシウム等の金属リン酸塩、チタン酸カリウム、チタン酸マグネシウム等のチタン酸塩、更には、ゼオライト、コロイダルシリカ、ヒュームドシリカ等の酸化ケイ素等でも認められた。中でも、炭酸マグネシウム、炭酸カルシウム、酸化ケイ素、アルミナが好ましい。この原因は定かではないが、熱源からの脱着時に無機粒子が熱源表面を研磨すること、加熱時に熱源と被加熱芳香体との接触面積が減少すること等が考えられる。 This effect is not largely limited to the material and particle size of the inorganic particles, and includes metal oxides such as magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, titanium oxide, iron oxide and alumina, metal carbonates such as magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate, and calcium phosphate. Titanates such as metal phosphates, potassium titanate and magnesium titanate, and silicon oxides such as zeolite, colloidal silica and fumed silica were also found. Of these, magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, silicon oxide, and alumina are preferable. Although the cause of this is not clear, it is conceivable that the inorganic particles polish the surface of the heat source during desorption from the heat source, and the contact area between the heat source and the fragrance to be heated decreases during heating.
以上、スティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物について詳述したが、この組成物を構成する素材を用い、次のような工程でスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材に成形加工した後、芳香カートリッジに組み立てる。 The stick-type heated fragrance-generating base material composition has been described in detail above. However, after molding the stick-type heated fragrance-generating base material into a stick-type heated fragrance-generating base material by the following steps using the material constituting this composition, the fragrance cartridge Assemble to.
使用する香気成分を含む素材を高温で除菌し粉砕する。この工程で、保持材を使用する場合は、同様に、高温で除菌し粉砕する。次いで、所定量の香気成分を含む素材と吸着剤をタンブラー混合機等の乾式混合機で乾式混合する。そして、乾式混合した原料に所定量のエアロゾルフォーマ及び純水を加え、ニーダー等の湿式混合機で湿式混合する。この工程で、必要に応じて、所定量の保持材、増粘剤、β-シクロデキストリン、微結晶セルロース、抗菌性保存剤、及び、無機粒子を湿式混合する。この分散液を、三本ロール等のロール成型でシートを形成する。このシートは柱状に裁断され、包装部材で巻いた後、所定の長さに裁断されてスティックが形成される。このようにして製造されたスティックは乾燥され、マウスピースが取り付けられた支持部材の多端に取り付けられ、包装部材で芳香カートリッジに組み立てられる。この工程は、従来のスティック型電子タバコカートリッジの製造工程に準じている。この結果、本発明のスティック型被加熱芳香発生基材組成物を用いたことを特徴とするスティック型被加熱芳香体が得られ、このスティック型被加熱芳香体を用いたことを特徴とする芳香カートリッジが得られる。 The material containing the aroma component to be used is sterilized and crushed at high temperature. When a holding material is used in this step, it is similarly sterilized and pulverized at a high temperature. Next, the material containing a predetermined amount of aroma components and the adsorbent are dry-mixed with a dry mixer such as a tumbler mixer. Then, a predetermined amount of aerosol former and pure water are added to the dry-mixed raw materials, and the mixture is wet-mixed with a wet mixer such as a kneader. In this step, if necessary, a predetermined amount of a retaining material, a thickener, β-cyclodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose, an antibacterial preservative, and inorganic particles are wet-mixed.
