In the sensory evaluation, it was confirmed that the non-combustion heating type flavor inhaler of Example 7 expressed more menthol feeling than Comparative Example 2, and expressed more body feeling and three-dimensional effect of menthol and nicotine. rice field. On the other hand, the peculiar smell and bitterness of tributyl citrate were felt a little. In the non-combustion heating type flavor inhaler of Example 8, the feeling of menthol was expressed more than in Comparative Example 2, but to a lesser extent than in Example 9. Moreover, the body feeling and three-dimensional effect of menthol and nicotine were lower than those of Examples 7 and 9.

Abstract
Description
[1]下記式(1)で示される化合物を含むエアロゾル源と、
前記エアロゾル源を霧化してエアロゾルを生成する霧化手段と、
を含む、非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器。
本実施形態に係るエアロゾル源は、前記式(1)で示される化合物を含む。前記式(1)において、R1、R2及びR3は、それぞれ独立して炭素数3~6のアルキル基である。R1、R2及びR3が炭素数3以上のアルキル基であることにより、前記式(1)で示される化合物の沸点が高くなり、エアロゾル粒子が安定化する。また、R1、R2及びR3が炭素数6以下のアルキル基であることにより、前記式(1)で示される化合物を気化させるのに必要な温度を低くすることができ、エアロゾル源を霧化する際の温度を下げることができる。前記式(1)において、R1、R2及びR3はそれぞれ独立して炭素数4~6のアルキル基であることが好ましい。特に、前記式(1)で示される化合物はクエン酸トリブチル(TBC)であることが好ましい。前記エアロゾル源は、前記式(1)で示される化合物を一種含んでもよく、二種以上含んでもよい。
本実施形態に係る非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器は、前記エアロゾル源を霧化してエアロゾルを生成する霧化手段を含む。霧化手段としては、前記エアロゾル源を霧化してエアロゾルを生成することができれば特に限定されないが、例えば加熱霧化手段であることができる。具体的には、後述するような電源から供給される電力により発熱する、電熱線などの発熱抵抗体であることができる。霧化手段は、後述するように例えばカートリッジ内に配置されることができる。
本実施形態に係る非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器は、前記エアロゾル源よりも下流側に配置された、たばこ由来成分を含むたばこ源をさらに含むことができる。エアロゾル源の霧化により生成したエアロゾルがたばこ源を通過することで、たばこ源に含まれるたばこ由来成分がエアロゾルへ移行し、使用者へ供給される。たばこ由来成分としては、例えばニコチン等が挙げられる。なお、たばこ源に含まれるたばこ由来成分はエアロゾルによって搬送されるため、使用時にたばこ源自体を加熱する必要はない。また、本実施形態に係る非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器はたばこ源を含まなくてもよく、この場合エアロゾル源がたばこ由来成分を含むことができる。例えば、エアロゾル源中にたばこ源を浸漬させる、たばこ源から抽出した液体のたばこ由来成分をエアロゾル源に混合する、化学合成により得られたたばこ由来成分をエアロゾル源に混合する、等によりエアロゾル源にたばこ由来成分を含ませることができる。
本実施形態に係るカートリッジは、前記式(1)で示される化合物を含むエアロゾル源を含む。該カートリッジは、非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器に着脱可能に取り付けられる。該カートリッジは、後述するように該エアロゾル源を霧化してエアロゾルを生成する霧化手段を備えてもよい。
本実施形態に係る非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器の一例を図1に示す。図1に示される非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器100は、燃焼を伴わずに香味成分を吸引するための器具であり、非吸口端から吸口端に向かう方向である所定方向Aに沿って延びる形状を有する。図2は、図1において、香味付与カートリッジ130が組み込まれたカートリッジ111を示す図である。なお、以下においては、非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器100を単に香味吸引器100と称することがある。
非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器の吸口端を、成分捕集用フィルタをセットしたフィルタホルダーに差し込み、フィルタホルダー下流部を喫煙器に接続した。該喫煙器で吸引することで、非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器から放出されるエアロゾルをフィルタホルダー内に捕集した。吸引条件は、55cc/puffで3秒吸引し、30秒間隔で5回繰り返すことで、フィルタホルダー内に5puff分のエアロゾルを捕集した。捕集後、フィルタホルダーからフィルタを取り出し、メタノールで成分を振とう抽出した後、GCでニコチン及び/又はメンソール量を定量した。
図1に示される構成を有する非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器を作製した。エアロゾル源としては、プロピレングリコール(PG)45.0質量%、グリセリン(G)45.0質量%、及びクエン酸トリブチル(TBC)10.0質量%を含む溶液を用いた。たばこ源としては、メンソール(M)が含まれない、ニコチン等のたばこ由来成分を含むたばこ源を使用した。前記非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器について、前記方法により使用時におけるニコチンの送達量を測定した。結果を図3に示す。
エアロゾル源として、表1に示される組成を有するエアロゾル源を使用した以外は、実施例1と同様に非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器を作製し、使用時におけるニコチンの送達量を測定した。結果を図3に示す。なお、表1において、「PG」はプロピレングリコール、「G」はグリセリン、「TEC」はクエン酸トリエチル、「TBC」はクエン酸トリブチル、「M」はメンソールをそれぞれ示す。
エアロゾル源として表1に示される組成を有するエアロゾル源を使用し、たばこ源としてメンソール(M)を添加したたばこ源を使用した以外は、実施例1と同様に非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器を作製し、使用時におけるニコチン及びメンソールの送達量を測定した。結果を図4及び図5に示す。
図1において、香味付与カートリッジ130を有さない以外は図1と同様の非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器を作製した。エアロゾル源としては、プロピレングリコール(PG)43.0質量%、グリセリン(G)43.0質量%、クエン酸トリブチル(TBC)9.6質量%、及びニコチン(NIC)4.5質量%を含む溶液を用いた。前記非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器について、前記方法により使用時におけるニコチンの送達量を測定した。結果を図6に示す。
エアロゾル源として、表2に示される組成を有するエアロゾル源を使用した以外は、実施例10と同様に非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器を作製し、使用時におけるニコチンの送達量を測定した。結果を図6に示す。
エアロゾル源として、表2に示される組成を有するエアロゾル源を使用した以外は、実施例10と同様に非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器を作製し、使用時におけるメンソールの送達量を測定した。結果を図7に示す。
