SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The prevent invention relates to the use of non~nitro~e~ous muckrake ask compound as additives to tobacco to impure toe aria and other characteristics of S tobacco, tobacco smote, and flavor.
More particularly, it has been found that the use of the macrocylic musk compounds as as additive to tobacco products unexpectedly increases the body of the smoke, smooths the smoke flavor, and decreases mouth dryness.
More particularly, it has been found that the addition of macrocylic musk compounds to tobacco in accordance with the present invention, such as burley, flue cured tobacco, or oriental tobacco or even reconstituted tobacco or tobacco substitutes such as various vegetable leaves imparts amelioration properties and adds a unique characteristic musk flavor and aroma to the tobacco and the tobacco smoke.
The compounds within the scope of the present invention may be applied at any point during the processing of the tobacco or tobacco substitute product as well as any paper, plug wrap, tipping, filter, or package to achieve the desired effect.
No prior art disclosure is known relating to the use of musk or musk type products or non-nitrogenous macrocylic compounds as flavor ants or aroma imparting vehicles for tobacco products.
More particularly the present invention provides an improved tobacco product composition incl~ldin~ macro cyclic us compounds selected from the props consisting of issue cyclohexadecen-7~olide, cyclopentadecanolide, 3-methylcy~lopentadecanone~ cycloheptadecen-9-one or cyclopetadecanone to provide enhanced aroma and flavor and a method for producing the same.

lulled RESCRIPT OFF'' THE Invention In accordance with the present invention it has been found that macrocylic musk compounds including particularly:
cyclohexadecen-7-olide SAmbrettolide~

cyclopentadecanolide (Exaltolide) US oh it 3-Methylcyclopentadecanone-l (Muscon) SHEA ) fH--CH3 O C SHEA
cycloheptadecen-9-one-1 (Civettone) OH - (SHEA

cyclopentadecanone Exalt one oh (1~2)1 I O

are particularly useful to impart desirable characteristics to tobacco smoke.

r 5 SWAHILI

The five previous compounds are included in two groups, namely lactones (ambrettolide and exaltolide) as jell as non-lactones mu scone civettone and exalt one).
Mach of the companies is recognized to have isomers, however evaluation of these products show little difference between the isomers of the materials and it is believed that all isomers impart similar effects in the use of the materials as flavorance for tobaccos.
It has been further found that addition of the macrocylic musk compounds previously noted to tobaccos as well as tobacco like products such as reconstituted tobacco and tobacco substitutes imparts amelioration properties and a unique characteristic and pleasant musk flavor and aroma to the tobacco and the tobacco smoke.
It has further been found that the flavor ant may be added to the tobacco product at any point during the processing including top flavor casing, top dressing or application of the stems and/or reconstituted tobacco sheet.
To evaluate the flavor ants a blend of tobacco as shown in Table I was prepared.
TABLE I
Percentage Component of Blend Flue Cured Tobacco 27.6 Burley Tobacco 26.2 Oriental tobacco 10.6 tobacco Stems 12.4 Reconstituted Tobacco 13.3 Expanded Tobacco 9.9 22~

The flavor ants within the scope of the present invention were added to the blend as discussed hereinafter.
Both filter ventilated and non-filtered cigarettes were evaluated inn ye blend It was found that neither cellulose acetate filtration nor ventilation affected the flavoring qualities of the musk compounds in the tobacco products.
The tests were conducted in accordance with a procedure where selected of the components ambrettolide, exaltolide, muscon, civettone, and exalt one were dissolved in ethanol.
The test procedure involved generally dissolving the flavor an as previously described in an ethanol solution of selected concentration. Using 2 10 micro liter syringe the solutions were injected into the tobacco sections of the cigarettes formed from the previously noted blend where each cigarette had a tobacco weight of 686 milligrams.
Several test samples were prepared using solutions of flavor ant and ethanol so that cigarettes were provided having test levels of lo parts per million, 50 parts per million, lo parts per million, 5 parts per million, l part per million and .01 part per million of the components within the scope of the present invention. The cigarettes were aged for two to three days and then smoked to determine the optimum application levels.
While effects were noted even at the 0.1 parts per lZlZZZ~

million level, the optimum for the various components were found to ye as follows:
ambre~toLide 2-5 parts per million exaltolide Z 5 parts per million mu scone 2-5 parts per million civettone 3-5 parts per million exalt one 4-9 parts per million Specific organoleptic effects were perceived upon smoking the cigarettes and the following was noted:
AMBRETTOL IRE
The optimum application range of ambrettolide was found to be Jo minimum of 2 to 5 parts per million based on the weight of the tobacco in the cigarette. The material provided ameliorating and soothing effect on the smoke flavor and character. A pleasant characteristic musk type pack aroma was imparted. It was found that the material is satisfactory between the 0.1 to 50 parts per million level to provide an organoleptic effects.
EXULTED
2 to 5 parts per million of exaltolide was found to be the optimum application rate based on the weight of the tobacco. An ameliorating soothing effect was noted on the smoke flavor and character. Also increased smoke body was noted along with added sweetness and decreased dryness. Top mixture provided a pleasant characteristic musk type pack aroma. It was found that the concentration of exaltolide at 0.1 parts per million provide some effect and the lZ12~Z~

concentrate can be increased to So part per million where the desired orqanoleptic effects are still noted.
MCKEE
The optimum level of mu scone was found to be 2-5 parts per million based on the weight of the tobacco. In those concentrations the ~nu~COQe provide an ameliorate smoothing effect on smoke flavor and character with increased smoke body. Added sweet fruity flavor and decreased dryness was also nutted. Pleasant characteristic musk type aroma was imparted to the cigarette. It was further found that the additive level can vary from 0.1 to 50 parts per million to achieve the desired effects.
CIVETTONE
It was found that 3-5 parts per million of civettone was the optimum application level based on the weight of the tobacco. An ameliorating smoothing effect was noted on smoke flavor and character. also the smoke had added body and a heavy, sweet flavor was imparted. Once again the material provided pleasant characteristic musk type pack aroma. It was found that as in previous cases effects were noted where the additive level varied from 0.1 to 50 parts per million.
EXALT ONE
The optimum level of exalt one was found to be 4-9 parts per million but the level can Mary from 0.1 to 75 parts per million end still provide the characteristic ameliorating smooth effect on the smoke flavored characteristics with increased smoke heady. the blend l;~lZZ24 further provides decreased dryness with a pleasant musk type aroma.
The same musk compound as described previously was applied to pipe tobacco closed of a blend consisting of:
COMPANY PERCENTAGE OF BLEND
Burley 7 4 %
Stems 26%
The effects perceived from smoking pipe tobacco with the applied materials were generally the same as those found in cigarettes where the optimum application levels for pipe tobacco is 1~20 parts per million with a range of 0.1-100 parts per million providing evidences of the desired effects.
A similar test was conducted using oxahexadecanolide having two oxygen atoms in the ring structure of the molecule and the results were generally unsatisfactory. For example, at the 5 parts per million application level the effect of the additive was an increase in nasal, throat, mouth irritation.
The foregoing are but a few examples of preparations in accordance with the present invention and it is recognized that other preparations also within the scope so the present invention will occur to those skilled in the art upon reading the disclosure set forth herein before.
