Description

非燃焼型香味吸引物品Non-combustion flavor inhalation products

 本発明は非燃焼型香味吸引物品に関する。 The present invention relates to a non-combustion type flavor inhalation article.

 香味吸引物品に活性炭を用いることが知られている。例えば、特許文献1には、エアロゾル形成基体とマウスピースフィルターとの間に配置された0.005ミリグラム~0.1ミリグラムの活性炭とを含み、前記活性炭が糸の形態での細長い炭素支持要素に結合されている、エアロゾル発生物品が開示されている。また、特許文献2には、チャコールフィルターを用いたシガレットが開示されている。ところで、近年、非燃焼型香味吸引物品の開発が盛んになっている。従来の燃焼型喫煙物品(シガレット)に比べ、非燃焼型香味吸引物品は香味成分の発生量が少ないため、ユーザーに香味をデリバリーするためにフィルターを低濾過にする必要がある。一般に低濾過にするには、フィルターの通気抵抗を下げることが知られている。 It is known to use activated carbon in flavor inhalation articles. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an aerosol generating article that includes 0.005 milligrams to 0.1 milligrams of activated carbon disposed between an aerosol-forming substrate and a mouthpiece filter, the activated carbon being bonded to an elongated carbon support element in the form of a thread. Patent Document 2 discloses a cigarette using a charcoal filter. Meanwhile, in recent years, non-combustion type flavor inhalation articles have been actively developed. Compared with conventional combustion type smoking articles (cigarettes), non-combustion type flavor inhalation articles generate less flavor components, so the filter needs to have low filtration in order to deliver the flavor to the user. It is generally known that low filtration can be achieved by lowering the airflow resistance of the filter.

 非燃焼型香味吸引物品からデリバリーされる煙は、粒子相(エアロゾル)と蒸気相(気体)を含む。粒子相は香味成分および活性成分を含むので、選択的にデリバリーされることが好ましい。一般に、デリバリー効率を高めるには、フィルターの通気抵抗を下げることが有効である。しかし、単に通気抵抗を下げるだけでは、好ましくない蒸気相の除去が十分でなくなる。かかる事情に鑑み、本発明は、粒子相(エアロゾル)を選択的にユーザーにデリバリーできる非燃焼型香味吸引物品を提供することを課題とする。 Smoke delivered from a non-combustion type flavor inhalation article contains a particle phase (aerosol) and a vapor phase (gas). Since the particle phase contains flavor components and active components, it is preferable to selectively deliver it. In general, lowering the airflow resistance of the filter is effective in increasing delivery efficiency. However, simply lowering the airflow resistance does not sufficiently remove the undesirable vapor phase. In view of these circumstances, the objective of the present invention is to provide a non-combustion type flavor inhalation article that can selectively deliver the particle phase (aerosol) to the user.

1.非燃焼型香味吸引物品
 非燃焼型香味吸引物品は、非燃焼加熱型香味吸引物品および非燃焼非加熱型香味吸引物品に大別される。非燃焼加熱型香味吸引物品は、香味源を直接加熱して香味を発生させる吸引物品と香味源を間接加熱して香味を発生させる吸引物品が存在する。間接加熱としては、上流で発生させたエアロゾルを香味源に導入することで香味源を間接的に加熱する方式が挙げられる。非燃焼非加熱型香味吸引物品は、液体香味源を振動等によって霧化して香味を発生させる。本実施形態にかかる非燃焼型香味吸引物品は、好ましくは非燃焼加熱型香味吸引物品である。非燃焼加熱型香味吸引物品は、たばこ部材と、冷却部材と、マウスピースを備える。たばこ部材の下流側に冷却部材が存在し、冷却部材の下流側にマウスピースが存在することが好ましい。図1は、非燃焼加熱型香味吸引物品の一態様を示す。図中、10は非燃焼加熱型香味吸引物品、1はたばこ部材、3は冷却部材、5はマウスピース、51は吸口側セグメント、52は吸着セグメント、Vはベンチレーションである。非燃焼加熱型香味吸引物品のサイズは限定されない。例えば、その長さは50~80mm、断面直径は5.5~7.5mm程度であってよい。以下、非燃焼加熱型香味吸引物品を例にして本実施形態を説明する。
1. Non-burning type flavor inhalation article Non-burning type flavor inhalation articles are broadly classified into non-burning heating type flavor inhalation articles and non-burning non-heating type flavor inhalation articles. Non-burning heating type flavor inhalation articles include inhalation articles that generate flavor by directly heating a flavor source and inhalation articles that generate flavor by indirectly heating a flavor source. Indirect heating includes a method of indirectly heating a flavor source by introducing an aerosol generated upstream into the flavor source. Non-burning non-heating type flavor inhalation articles generate flavor by atomizing a liquid flavor source by vibration or the like. The non-burning type flavor inhalation article according to this embodiment is preferably a non-burning heating type flavor inhalation article. The non-burning heating type flavor inhalation article includes a tobacco member, a cooling member, and a mouthpiece. It is preferable that the cooling member is present downstream of the tobacco member, and the mouthpiece is present downstream of the cooling member. FIG. 1 shows one embodiment of a non-burning heating type flavor inhalation article. In the figure, 10 is a non-combustion heating type flavor inhalation article, 1 is a tobacco member, 3 is a cooling member, 5 is a mouthpiece, 51 is a mouth-side segment, 52 is an adsorption segment, and V is ventilation. The size of the non-combustion heating type flavor inhalation article is not limited. For example, the length may be about 50 to 80 mm, and the cross-sectional diameter may be about 5.5 to 7.5 mm. Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described using the non-combustion heating type flavor inhalation article as an example.

 マウスピースは吸口端を構成する部材である。一態様においてマウスピース5は、吸着セグメント52と、その下流に吸口側セグメント51を備える。
(1) Mouthpiece The mouthpiece is a member that constitutes the mouth end. In one embodiment, the mouthpiece 5 includes an adsorption segment 52 and a mouth-side segment 51 downstream of the adsorption segment 52.

 1)吸着セグメント
[吸着剤]
 吸着セグメント52は吸着剤を含有する。吸着剤とは非燃焼加熱型香味吸引物品から発生した成分を吸着できる剤である。吸着剤としては、例えば、活性炭、ゼオライト、活性アルミナ、およびシリカゲル等が挙げられる。中でも、入手容易性等の観点から、吸着剤は活性炭を含むことが好ましく、活性炭からなることがより好ましい。活性炭の表面積は、好ましくは500~3000m/g、より好ましくは700~2500m/gである。吸着剤の表面積はBET比表面積であり、窒素吸着法によって測定される。
1) Adsorption segment [adsorbent]
The adsorption segment 52 contains an adsorbent. The adsorbent is an agent capable of adsorbing components generated from the non-combustion heating type flavor inhalation article. Examples of the adsorbent include activated carbon, zeolite, activated alumina, and silica gel. Among them, from the viewpoint of availability, it is preferable that the adsorbent contains activated carbon, and it is more preferable that the adsorbent is made of activated carbon. The surface area of the activated carbon is preferably 500 to 3000 m 2 /g, and more preferably 700 to 2500 m 2 /g. The surface area of the adsorbent is the BET specific surface area, and is measured by a nitrogen adsorption method.

[通気抵抗]
 吸着セグメント52は、5mmHO以下の通気抵抗を有する。吸着セグメント52がこの通気抵抗を有することで、満足の行くデリバリーが達成される。かかる観点から、通気抵抗の上限値は好ましくは3mmHO以下である。また、通気抵抗の下限値は限定されないが、好ましくは1mmHO以上である。通気抵抗は、フィルター品質測定器(SODIM社製 品名:SODIMAX)により測定される。具体的に、通気抵抗は、試料をその側面から空気が流入しないように空気不透過性の材料(ゴム等)で覆い、その一端から17.5cm/秒の流量で吸引したときの試料の両端面における差圧(mmHO)として測定される。
[Air flow resistance]
The adsorption segment 52 has an airflow resistance of 5 mmH 2 O or less. When the adsorption segment 52 has this airflow resistance, satisfactory delivery is achieved. From this viewpoint, the upper limit of the airflow resistance is preferably 3 mmH 2 O or less. The lower limit of the airflow resistance is not limited, but is preferably 1 mmH 2 O or more. The airflow resistance is measured using a filter quality measuring device (manufactured by SODIM, product name: SODIMAX). Specifically, the airflow resistance is measured as the differential pressure (mmH 2 O) between both end faces of the sample when the sample is covered with an air-impermeable material (rubber, etc.) to prevent air from flowing in from the sides, and sucked from one end at a flow rate of 17.5 cm 3 / sec.

[吸着剤の量]
 吸着セグメント52における吸着剤の含有量が過多であると、製造が困難となる。一方で、前記吸着剤の含有量が過少であると、蒸気相成分の除去が不十分となる。かかる観点から、前記吸着剤の含有量は、吸着セグメントの長手方向長さあたりの量で表され、その値は4~10(mg/mm)である。当該量は、より好ましくは4.5~6.5(mg/mm)、さらに好ましくは5~6(mg/mm)である。
[寸法]
 吸着セグメント52の長さは限定されないが、好ましくは7~20mm、より好ましくは10~15mmである。吸着セグメント52の直径も限定されないが、好ましくは5.5~7.5mmである。
[Amount of adsorbent]
If the content of the adsorbent in the adsorption segment 52 is too high, manufacturing becomes difficult. On the other hand, if the content of the adsorbent is too low, removal of vapor phase components becomes insufficient. From this viewpoint, the content of the adsorbent is expressed as the amount per unit length of the adsorption segment in the longitudinal direction, and the value is 4 to 10 (mg/mm). The amount is more preferably 4.5 to 6.5 (mg/mm), and further preferably 5 to 6 (mg/mm).
[size]
The length of the suction segment 52 is not limited, but is preferably 7 to 20 mm, and more preferably 10 to 15 mm. The diameter of the suction segment 52 is also not limited, but is preferably 5.5 to 7.5 mm.

[吸着剤含有シート]
 吸着セグメント52は、吸着剤含有シートを備えることが好ましい。吸着剤含有シートとはシート基材中に吸着剤が担持されたシートである。
[Adsorbent-containing sheet]
The adsorbent segment 52 preferably comprises an adsorbent-containing sheet. The adsorbent-containing sheet is a sheet in which an adsorbent is supported in a sheet substrate.

 吸着剤含有シートは、マトリックスとしてパルプを含むことが好ましい。パルプとは植物原料を機械的または化学的に処理して抽出したセルロース繊維の集合体である。植物原料は木材であることが好ましい。 The adsorbent-containing sheet preferably contains pulp as a matrix. Pulp is an aggregate of cellulose fibers extracted by mechanically or chemically processing plant raw materials. The plant raw material is preferably wood.

 吸着剤含有シートは、前記パルプの他に合成繊維を含むことが好ましい。合成繊維としては、ポリエステル繊維が挙げられる。ポリエステル繊維を構成するポリエステルは、ジオール残基と二酸残基を含む。ジオール残基は、炭素鎖が2~4のアルキレングリコール残基を含むことが好ましく、エチレングリコール残基を含むことがより好ましい。二酸残基はテレフタル酸、イソフタル酸、またはフタル酸残基を含むことが好ましく、テレフタル酸残基を有することがより好ましい。このようなポリエステルは、下記式で表すことができる。式中、nは繰り返し数を示し、mは2~4の整数を示す。特に、炭素鎖が2~4のアルキレングリコール残基、あるいはイソフタル酸またはフタル酸残基を含むポリエステルは、結晶化度が過度に高くならないため、ポリエステル繊維と吸着剤粒子との接着性を向上させる。 The adsorbent-containing sheet preferably contains synthetic fibers in addition to the pulp. Examples of synthetic fibers include polyester fibers. The polyester constituting the polyester fibers contains a diol residue and a diacid residue. The diol residue preferably contains an alkylene glycol residue having a carbon chain of 2 to 4, and more preferably contains an ethylene glycol residue. The diacid residue preferably contains a terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, or phthalic acid residue, and more preferably contains a terephthalic acid residue. Such a polyester can be represented by the following formula. In the formula, n indicates the number of repetitions, and m indicates an integer of 2 to 4. In particular, polyesters containing an alkylene glycol residue having a carbon chain of 2 to 4, or an isophthalic acid or phthalic acid residue do not have an excessively high degree of crystallinity, and therefore improve the adhesion between the polyester fibers and the adsorbent particles.

 吸着剤含有シートは、バインダーを含むことが好ましい。バインダーは、前記繊維同士の接着性を高め、かつ前記繊維と吸着剤との接着性を高める。バインダーとしては公知のもの使用でき、その例としてはポリビニルアルコールおよび酢酸ビニル等が挙げられる。 The adsorbent-containing sheet preferably contains a binder. The binder increases the adhesion between the fibers and between the fibers and the adsorbent. Known binders can be used, examples of which include polyvinyl alcohol and vinyl acetate.

 吸着剤含有シートは、以下の特性を有することが好ましく、前記成分の配合量は当該特性を達成できるように適宜調整されてもよい。
 引張強度(ISO 1924-2):5~30N/15mm、より好ましくは10~20N/15mm
 坪量(ISO 536):50~100g/m、より好ましくは70~90g/m

Basis weight (ISO 536): 50 to 100 g/m 2 , more preferably 70 to 90 g/m 2
Thickness: 100 to 300 μm, more preferably 150 to 250 μm
Iodine adsorption performance (JIS K 1474): 300 to 2000 mg/g, more preferably 500 to 1500 mg/g
Air permeability: the lower limit is 300 CU or more, preferably 500 CU or more, more preferably 1000 CU or more, and the upper limit is 30,000 CU or less, preferably 10,000 CU or less, more preferably 2000 CU or less.

 通気度(単位:コレスタユニット(CU))は差圧1kPa条件下、1cm当たり1分間での空気通過流量(cm)である。通気度はCerulean社製通気度計PPM1000Mを用いて測定することができる。 The air permeability (unit: Coresta unit (CU)) is the air flow rate (cm 3 ) per minute per 1 cm 2 under a differential pressure of 1 kPa. The air permeability can be measured using an air permeability meter PPM1000M manufactured by Cerulean Corporation.

 吸着剤含有シート1mにおける吸着剤の有効表面積は、好ましくは5,000~70,000m/mである。有効表面積とは、シート表面に露出している吸着剤の総面積である。この数値範囲は以下に基づく。 The effective surface area of the adsorbent per m2 of the adsorbent-containing sheet is preferably 5,000 to 70,000 m2 / m2 . The effective surface area is the total area of the adsorbent exposed on the sheet surface. This numerical range is based on the following.

 一態様において、吸着剤のシート内に埋没している面積は、平均すると、吸着剤1つの表面積の30%~50%と考えられる。すなわち、吸着剤の露出している面積は、平均して50%~70%である。吸着剤の表面積を1000m/g、シート中の吸着剤の含有量を10g/mとすると、平均して50%の面積が露出している場合の有効表面積は以下のように算出される。
 10g/m×1000m/g×50%=5000m/m
 吸着剤の表面積を2000m/g、前記含有量を50g/mとすると、平均して70%の面積が露出している場合の有効表面積は以下のように算出される。
 50g/m×2000m/g×70%=70,000m/m
In one embodiment, the area of the adsorbent buried in the sheet is considered to be, on average, 30% to 50% of the surface area of a single adsorbent. In other words, the area of the adsorbent exposed is, on average, 50% to 70%. If the surface area of the adsorbent is 1000 m 2 /g and the content of the adsorbent in the sheet is 10 g/m 2 , the effective surface area when, on average, 50% of the area is exposed is calculated as follows:
10g/m 2 x 1000m 2 /g x 50% = 5000m 2 /m 2
Assuming that the surface area of the adsorbent is 2000 m 2 /g and the content is 50 g/m 2 , the effective surface area when 70% of the area is exposed on average is calculated as follows.
50g/m 2 x 2000m 2 /g x 70% = 70,000m 2 /m 2

 一態様において、吸着剤含有シートには表面処理がなされていていない。また、別態様において吸着剤含有シートには表面処理がなされている。表面処理としては公知の処理が挙げられるが、好ましくはクリンプ処理である。クリンプ処理とはシートに、しわを形成する処理をいう。クリンプ加工によって、後述するとおり、吸着剤含有シートをロッド状に成形しやすくなる。一方でクリンプ深さが過度に高いと通気抵抗が上昇する。かかる観点から、クリンプ深さは、好ましくは0.2mm以下、より好ましくは0.1mm以下、さらに好ましくは0.03mm以下である。その下限値は限定されないが好ましくは0.01mm以上である。 In one embodiment, the adsorbent-containing sheet is not surface-treated. In another embodiment, the adsorbent-containing sheet is surface-treated. Examples of surface treatments include known treatments, but crimping is preferred. Crimping refers to a process for forming wrinkles in a sheet. As described below, crimping makes it easier to form the adsorbent-containing sheet into a rod shape. On the other hand, if the crimp depth is excessively high, the air resistance increases. From this perspective, the crimp depth is preferably 0.2 mm or less, more preferably 0.1 mm or less, and even more preferably 0.03 mm or less. There is no lower limit, but it is preferably 0.01 mm or more.

 一態様において、吸着セグメント52は、吸着剤含有シートが充填されてなる。吸着剤含有シートは、好ましくは150mm以下の幅を有する。幅とは、非燃焼加熱型香味吸引物品10の短手方向に平行な方向である。図2は吸着セグメント52の概要を示す。図中、520は吸着剤含有シート、522はラッパー、Wは幅である。吸着剤含有シート520は折畳まれてラッパー522内に充填される。吸着剤含有シート520の枚数は適宜調整されるが、好ましくは1~2枚である。吸着剤含有シートがこの幅を有すると、前記通気抵抗を達成しやすくなる。かかる観点から、幅Wの上限値は好ましくは130mm以下、より好ましくは110mm以下である。またその下限値は、好ましくは70mm以上、より好ましくは80mm以上、さらに好ましくは90mm以上である。吸着剤含有シート520の長さは、吸着セグメント52の長さと同じであることが好ましい。吸着剤含有シート520の厚さは、限定されないが好ましくは150~250μmである。 In one embodiment, the adsorption segment 52 is filled with an adsorbent-containing sheet. The adsorbent-containing sheet preferably has a width of 150 mm or less. The width is a direction parallel to the short side direction of the non-combustion heating type flavor inhalation article 10. FIG. 2 shows an overview of the adsorption segment 52. In the figure, 520 is an adsorbent-containing sheet, 522 is a wrapper, and W is a width. The adsorbent-containing sheet 520 is folded and filled in the wrapper 522. The number of adsorbent-containing sheets 520 is adjusted as appropriate, but is preferably 1 to 2 sheets. When the adsorbent-containing sheet has this width, it becomes easier to achieve the above-mentioned air resistance. From this viewpoint, the upper limit value of the width W is preferably 130 mm or less, more preferably 110 mm or less. The lower limit value is preferably 70 mm or more, more preferably 80 mm or more, and even more preferably 90 mm or more. The length of the adsorbent-containing sheet 520 is preferably the same as the length of the adsorption segment 52. The thickness of the adsorbent-containing sheet 520 is not limited, but is preferably 150 to 250 μm.

 ラッパー522としては公知の材料を使用できる。入手容易性等の観点からラッパーは紙で構成されることが好ましい。特に坪量の大きい紙を用いると、吸着セグメントの硬さを維持できる。かかる観点から、ラッパー522の坪量は、好ましくは50gsm(g/m)以上、より好ましくは60gsm(g/m)以上である。その上限は限定されないが、好ましくは80gsm以下である。 Known materials can be used for the wrapper 522. From the viewpoint of availability and the like, it is preferable that the wrapper is made of paper. In particular, when paper with a large basis weight is used, the hardness of the suction segment can be maintained. From this viewpoint, the basis weight of the wrapper 522 is preferably 50 gsm (g/m 2 ) or more, more preferably 60 gsm (g/m 2 ) or more. The upper limit is not limited, but is preferably 80 gsm or less.

[断面空隙率]
 吸着セグメント52の断面空隙率Zは、好ましくは30%超、より好ましくは32%以上、さらに好ましくは35%以上である。断面空隙率Zがこの範囲であると、低い通気抵抗を達成できる。しかしながら断面空隙率Zが過度に高いと、前記吸着能力が十分でなくなる。よって、その上限値は、好ましくは70%以下であり、より好ましくは55%以下であり、さらに好ましくは45%以下である。断面空隙率Zは、吸着セグメント52断面の空隙の総面積/吸着セグメント52の断面積(ラッパーの面積を除く)で定義される。断面空隙率Zは、吸着セグメント52の断面を観察し、画像解析することで求められる。好ましくは1~3の断面を観察し、各断面で求めたZを平均して、当該セグメントの断面空隙率とする。
[Cross-sectional porosity]
The cross-sectional porosity Z of the adsorption segment 52 is preferably more than 30%, more preferably 32% or more, and even more preferably 35% or more. When the cross-sectional porosity Z is in this range, low airflow resistance can be achieved. However, if the cross-sectional porosity Z is excessively high, the adsorption capacity becomes insufficient. Therefore, the upper limit is preferably 70% or less, more preferably 55% or less, and even more preferably 45% or less. The cross-sectional porosity Z is defined as the total area of the voids in the cross section of the adsorption segment 52 / the cross-sectional area of the adsorption segment 52 (excluding the area of the wrapper). The cross-sectional porosity Z is obtained by observing the cross section of the adsorption segment 52 and performing image analysis. Preferably, 1 to 3 cross sections are observed, and the Z obtained for each cross section is averaged to obtain the cross-sectional porosity of the segment.

[吸着セグメントの製造方法]
 前述のとおり、吸着セグメント52は、吸着剤含有シートを準備する工程1、および筒状のラッパーに前記シートを充填する工程2と、を備える方法で製造されることが好ましい。
[Method of manufacturing the adsorption segment]
As mentioned above, the adsorbent segment 52 is preferably manufactured by a method comprising step 1 of providing an adsorbent-containing sheet, and step 2 of filling a cylindrical wrapper with the sheet.

 工程1は、前述の成分を用いて公知の方法で実施できる。例えば、前述の成分を混合したスラリーを調製し、これを抄紙することで抄紙シートを製造できる。また、当該スラリーを基材上にキャストすることによってキャストシートを製造できる。 Step 1 can be carried out by a known method using the aforementioned components. For example, a paper sheet can be produced by preparing a slurry by mixing the aforementioned components and then papermaking the slurry. A cast sheet can also be produced by casting the slurry onto a substrate.

 工程2も公知の方法で実施できる。例えば、筒状のラッパー内に、折り畳まれた吸着剤含有シートを充填する、または裁断された吸着剤含有シートを充填することで実施できる。あるいは、吸着剤含有シートを折り畳んで柱状に成形しこれをラッパーで巻装することで吸着セグメントを製造できる。工程2の前に、吸着剤含有シートに前記表面処理を施す工程を設けてもよい。 Step 2 can also be performed by a known method. For example, it can be performed by filling a folded adsorbent-containing sheet or a cut adsorbent-containing sheet into a cylindrical wrapper. Alternatively, the adsorbent-containing sheet can be folded to form a cylindrical shape and wrapped in a wrapper to produce an adsorption segment. Before step 2, a step of subjecting the adsorbent-containing sheet to the above-mentioned surface treatment can be provided.

 2)吸口側セグメント
 吸口側セグメント51は、通常、当該分野で使用されるフィルターであってよく、中実なアセテートフィルターまたはペーパーフィルターであってよい。別態様において、吸口側セグメント51を省略することもできる。吸口側セグメント51の長さは、好ましくは5~10mmである。吸口側セグメント51の直径は、吸着セグメント52と同じとしてよい。
2) Mouth Side Segment The mouth side segment 51 may be a filter typically used in the field, and may be a solid acetate filter or a paper filter. In another embodiment, the mouth side segment 51 may be omitted. The length of the mouth side segment 51 is preferably 5 to 10 mm. The diameter of the mouth side segment 51 may be the same as that of the adsorption segment 52.

 3)上流側セグメント
 図3は、マウスピース5が3つのセグメントで構成される態様を示す。図中、53は上流側セグメントである。上流側セグメント53は、任意の部材で構成されうるが、センターホールフィルターであることが好ましい。上流側セグメント53がセンターホールフィルターであると、比較的剛性の低い吸着セグメント52の両側に剛性の高い上流側セグメント53と吸口側セグメント51を配置できるので、非燃焼加熱型香味吸引物品10の強度が向上する。また、上流側セグメント53と吸着セグメント52の位置を入れ替えることもできるが、過度の吸着を避ける観点からは図3の態様が好ましい。上流側セグメント53の長さは、好ましくは5~10mmである。上流側セグメント53の直径は、吸着セグメント52と同じとしてよい。
3) Upstream Segment FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which the mouthpiece 5 is composed of three segments. In the figure, 53 is an upstream segment. The upstream segment 53 may be composed of any material, but is preferably a center hole filter. When the upstream segment 53 is a center hole filter, the upstream segment 53 and the mouth side segment 51, which have high rigidity, can be arranged on both sides of the adsorption segment 52, which has a relatively low rigidity, thereby improving the strength of the non-combustion heating type flavor inhalation article 10. In addition, the positions of the upstream segment 53 and the adsorption segment 52 can be interchanged, but the embodiment of FIG. 3 is preferable from the viewpoint of avoiding excessive adsorption. The length of the upstream segment 53 is preferably 5 to 10 mm. The diameter of the upstream segment 53 may be the same as that of the adsorption segment 52.

(2)たばこ部材
 たばこ部材とは、たばこ原料に含まれる香喫味成分を発生するための略円柱状の部材である。たばこ部材はたばこ材料とその周囲を巻装する巻紙(ラッパー)を備える。巻紙内に充填されるたばこ材料の形状は限定されず、例えばシート、または当該シートを幅0.8~1.2mmに裁刻したもの、あるいは幅0.8~1.2mmに裁刻された刻などが挙げられる。前記シートを裁刻せずにギャザー加工、折り畳み、あるいは渦巻き状にして巻紙内に充填してたばこ部材としてもよい。また、当該シートを短冊状に裁断してこれらを巻紙に、同心円状にあるいは短冊の長手方向がたばこ部材の長手方向と平行になるように充填してたばこ部材としてもよい。
(2) Tobacco member A tobacco member is a substantially cylindrical member for generating flavor and aroma components contained in tobacco raw materials. A tobacco member includes a tobacco material and a cigarette paper (wrapper) that wraps around the tobacco material. The shape of the tobacco material filled into the cigarette paper is not limited, and examples of the shape include a sheet, the sheet cut into a width of 0.8 to 1.2 mm, or a shredded sheet cut into a width of 0.8 to 1.2 mm. The sheet may be gathered, folded, or spirally wound without being cut, and filled into the cigarette paper to form a tobacco member. Alternatively, the sheet may be cut into strips and filled into the cigarette paper concentrically or with the longitudinal direction of the strip parallel to the longitudinal direction of the tobacco member to form a tobacco member.

 たばこ材料の充填密度は特に限定されないが、非燃焼加熱型香味吸引物品の特性を担保し、良好な喫味を付与する観点から、通常200mg/cm以上であり、好ましくは250mg/cm以上である。また、その上限は通常800mg/cm以下であり、好ましくは600mg/cm以下である。たばこ部材の長さは限定されないが10~25mmであることが好ましい。その直径も限定されないが6~8mmであることが好ましい。 The packing density of the tobacco material is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of ensuring the properties of the non-combustion heating type flavor inhalation article and imparting a good smoking taste, it is usually 200 mg/ cm3 or more, and preferably 250 mg/cm3 or more . The upper limit is usually 800 mg/cm3 or less , and preferably 600 mg/cm3 or less . The length of the tobacco member is not limited, but is preferably 10 to 25 mm. The diameter is also not limited, but is preferably 6 to 8 mm.

 たばこ材料は、加熱に伴って蒸気を発生してもよい。加熱温度は限定されないが30~400℃程度である。エアロゾルの発生を促進するために、たばこ材料にグリセリン、プロピレングリコール、1,3-ブタンジオール等のポリオール等のエアロゾル源を添加してもよい。エアロゾル源の添加量は、たばこ材料の乾燥重量に対して5~50重量%が好ましく、10~30重量%がより好ましい。その他、たばこ材料には公知の香料等を添加してもよい。 The tobacco material may generate steam when heated. The heating temperature is not limited, but is about 30 to 400°C. To promote the generation of aerosol, an aerosol source such as glycerin, propylene glycol, 1,3-butanediol, or other polyol may be added to the tobacco material. The amount of the aerosol source added is preferably 5 to 50% by weight, more preferably 10 to 30% by weight, based on the dry weight of the tobacco material. In addition, known flavorings, etc. may be added to the tobacco material.

(2)冷却部材
 冷却部材3は、たばこ部材1の下流側に隣接している。下流とは吸口端への方向をいう。冷却部材3は、たばこ部材1で発生した香喫味成分や蒸気を冷却する等してエアロゾル化を促進するための部材である。冷却部材は中空の紙管であってよい。紙管は巻紙やチップペーパーよりも剛性の高いカードボードで構成されることが好ましい。当該紙管には、ベンチレーションV(開孔)が設けられてもよい。ベンチレーションは紙管の円周に沿って複数設けられることが好ましい。また冷却部材内には、熱交換効率を高めるためにギャザー付けされたシートが充填されてもよい。冷却部材の寸法は限定されないが、長さは10~25mmであることが好ましく、直径は5.5~7.5mmであることが好ましい。たばこ部材1から発生した香味は、冷却部材3によって十分に冷却されるので、粒子相(エアロゾル)と蒸気相が生成する。このため、吸着材セグメント51は蒸気相中の成分を選択的に除去できる。もし、たばこ部材1から発生した香味を、冷却部材3を介さずに吸着材セグメント52に導入すると、除去したくない成分までが除去されうる。
(2) Cooling Member The cooling member 3 is adjacent to the downstream side of the tobacco member 1. Downstream refers to the direction toward the mouth end. The cooling member 3 is a member for accelerating aerosolization by cooling flavor and aroma components and vapor generated in the tobacco member 1. The cooling member may be a hollow paper tube. The paper tube is preferably made of cardboard having higher rigidity than cigarette paper or tipping paper. The paper tube may be provided with ventilation V (openings). A plurality of ventilations are preferably provided along the circumference of the paper tube. The cooling member may be filled with a gathered sheet to enhance heat exchange efficiency. The dimensions of the cooling member are not limited, but the length is preferably 10 to 25 mm, and the diameter is preferably 5.5 to 7.5 mm. The flavor generated from the tobacco member 1 is sufficiently cooled by the cooling member 3, so that a particle phase (aerosol) and a vapor phase are generated. For this reason, the adsorbent segment 51 can selectively remove the components in the vapor phase. If the flavor generated from the tobacco member 1 is introduced into the adsorbent segment 52 without passing through the cooling member 3, even components that are not desired to be removed may be removed.

 前記非燃焼加熱型香味吸引物品のたばこ部材側端を、図4に示す加熱デバイスに挿入した。ヒーター温度を295℃とし、たばこ部材を当該ヒーターで加熱した。当該物品の吸口端側にケンブリッジフィルター(Borgwaldt KC Inc.製、CM-133)およびDNPH(2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine)溶液の入ったインピンジャーを配置し、喫煙機による喫煙試験に供した。具体的には、自動喫煙器(Borgwaldt KC Inc.製LM-1)を用いて、サンプルを吸煙容量27.5ml/秒、吸煙時間2秒/パフ、吸煙頻度2パフ/分、10パフの条件で自動喫煙を実施した。 The tobacco member side end of the non-combustion heating type flavor inhalation article was inserted into the heating device shown in FIG. 4. The heater temperature was set to 295°C, and the tobacco member was heated by the heater. A Cambridge filter (CM-133, manufactured by Borgwaldt KC Inc.) and an impinger containing a DNPH (2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine) solution were placed on the mouth end side of the article, and the article was subjected to a smoking test using a smoking machine. Specifically, the sample was automatically smoked using an automatic smoking machine (LM-1, manufactured by Borgwaldt KC Inc.) under the following conditions: smoke volume 27.5 ml/sec, smoking time 2 sec/puff, smoking frequency 2 puffs/min, 10 puffs.

 ニコチンおよびグリセリンの分析は以下の方法で行った。喫煙試験後のケンブリッジフィルターを、メタノール(和光純薬工業株式会社製、試薬特級)10mL中で振盪して分析試料を得た。得られた分析試料1μLをマイクロシリンジに採取し、ガスクロマトグラフ質量分析(Agilent製GC-MSD、GC:7890A、MS:5975C)にて分析した。 Analysis of nicotine and glycerin was performed as follows. After the smoking test, the Cambridge filter was shaken in 10 mL of methanol (special grade reagent, manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) to obtain an analytical sample. 1 μL of the obtained analytical sample was collected in a microsyringe and analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MSD, manufactured by Agilent, GC: 7890A, MS: 5975C).

 カルボニル成分のうちアセトアルデヒドおよびアクロレインの分析は以下の方法で行った。喫煙試験後のケンブリッジフィルターを、インピンジャー捕集液に浸漬し振とうした後、メンブレンフィルターで固形分を濾過した。さらに、Trizma base溶液に所定量の濾液を加えて振とうし、誘導体化反応を停止させた。溶液を再びメンブレンフィルター濾過後、HPLC-DADに供してカルボニル成分を分析した。カルボニル成分の分析方法は、WO2004/026054公報およびCORESTA Recommended Method No. 96 - Determination of Formaldehyde and Acetaldehyde in E-Vapour Product Aerosol February 2021の開示を参照した。 Among the carbonyl components, acetaldehyde and acrolein were analyzed by the following method. After the smoking test, the Cambridge filter was immersed in the impinger collection liquid and shaken, and then the solids were filtered using a membrane filter. Furthermore, a specified amount of the filtrate was added to the Trizma base solution and shaken to stop the derivatization reaction. The solution was again filtered through the membrane filter, and then subjected to HPLC-DAD to analyze the carbonyl components. The method for analyzing the carbonyl components was disclosed in WO2004/026054 and CORESTA Recommended Method No. 96 - Determination of Formaldehyde and Acetaldehyde in E-Vapour Product Aerosol February 2021.

 結果を図5および6に示した。図5は比較例2を基準として、ニコチンとグリセリンのデリバリーを相対比較する図である。ニコチンとグリセリンに関し、比較例3では大幅なデリバリーの低下が見られたが、実施例では、増加が見られた。例えばグリセリンのデリバリーに関し、実施例1では、比較例2に比べて10%の増加が見られた。図6は、比較例1を基準として、アセトアルデヒド、アセトン、アクロレインのデリバリーを相対比較する図である。アセトアルデヒド、アセトン、アクロレインに関し、実施例および比較例3では大幅なデリバリーの低下が見られた。以上から、実施例の非燃焼加熱型香味吸引物品は、粒子相を選択的にデリバリーすることが明らかである。 The results are shown in Figures 5 and 6. Figure 5 is a diagram comparing the delivery of nicotine and glycerin relative to Comparative Example 2. A significant decrease in the delivery of nicotine and glycerin was observed in Comparative Example 3, but an increase was observed in the Examples. For example, a 10% increase in the delivery of glycerin was observed in Example 1 compared to Comparative Example 2. Figure 6 is a diagram comparing the delivery of acetaldehyde, acetone, and acrolein relative to Comparative Example 1. A significant decrease in the delivery of acetaldehyde, acetone, and acrolein was observed in the Examples and Comparative Example 3. From the above, it is clear that the non-combustion heating type flavor inhalation article of the Examples selectively delivers the particle phase.
