Abstract
The invention relates to a tobacco mixture of the American Blend type having a content of up to 70% by weight of Virginia tobaccos, up to 40% by weight of Burley tobaccos, up to 20% by weight of oriental tobaccos and up to 5% by weight of other tobacco varieties, up to 60% by weight of which tobaccos can be present as expanded tobacco, with, according to the invention, all, or the majority, of the Burley tobacco being present as cut reconstituted tobacco sheet which has been obtained using the TSNA adsorption method.
Preference is given to at least 60% by weight of the Burley tobacco in the reconstituted tobacco sheet consisting of lamina; furthermore, the reconstituted tobacco sheet has preferably been obtained using a paper production process. The invention also relates to cigarettes which comprise these cut tobacco mixtures.

Description
Tobacco mixture and a cigarette comprising it The invention relates to a tobacco mixture of the American Blend type having a content of up to 70% by weight of Virginia tobaccos, up to 40% by weight of Burley tobaccos, up to 20% by weight of oriental tobaccos and up to 5% by weight of other tobacco varieties, with it being possible for up to 60% of these tobaccos to be present as expanded tobacco, and, in addition, to a cigarette which comprises this tobacco mixture.
While the content of Burley tobaccos in these tobacco mixtures contributes to augmenting the aroma and the "character" of the cigarette, it has the disadvantage that the content of nitrosamines is increased, both in the mainstream smoke and in the side-stream smoke, very much more than it is by the other tobacco varieties in an American Blend cigarette.
The object of the invention is to decrease the content of nitrosamines in tobacco mixtures of the American Blend type and in the cigarettes which are produced from these mixtures.
Apart from what are termed the volatile nitrosamines, such as N-nitrosodimethylamine, which are formed, by pyrolysis, in nanogram quantities only, when a cigarette is smoked, the tobacco-specific nitrosamines, such as N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN), nitrosonornicotine ketone or 4-(methylnitrosoamino)-l-(3-pyridyl)-l-butanone (NNK), N'-nitrosoanatabine (NAT) and N'-nitrosoanabasine (NAB), which occur in an order of magnitude of up to 10 pg in the mainstream smoke and in an about 4- to 10-fold quantity in the side-stream smoke, are to be regarded as being unwanted.
Since the tobacco-specific nitrosamines, termed TSNAs below, are predominantly present in the Burley tobacco, the invention is based on only removing the nitrosamines from this fraction of the tobacco mixture, with this fraction then, while retaining its taste "character", yielding, together with the other tobacco components, an American Blend cigarette whose taste is unchanged.
WO 02/28209 Al discloses a method which can be used to remove the TSNA, by adsorption, from a solution of solvent-treated tobacco, with it being possible for the solution, which has been freed from, or depleted in, TSNA, either to be used for producing reconstituted tobacco or to be added, as an aroma component, to the insoluble tobacco residue or to any optional tobacco mixture. In detail, the procedure adopted in this method, which is termed the TSNA adsorption method below, is as follows: the tobacco, for the most part ribs or tobacco waste, is extracted, at temperatures of from 10 to 100 C and for from about 0.5 to 6 hours, with a solvent which principally consists of water;
after that, the solution which has been separated from the tobacco material is concentrated and brought into contact with a TSNA-accepting adsorbing agent, such as active charcoal or zeolite, in a quantity of from 5 to 50% by weight based on the quantity of extract. After the adsorbing agent has been separated off, all or part of the extract, which has been freed from TNSA, is loaded onto the extracted tobacco material, which is processed, where appropriate, by means of a paper production process, e.g. in accordance with US 4,182,349, or using a casting process, e.g. in accordance with US 4,674,519, into a sheet of reconstituted tobacco.
Proceeding from the abovementioned basic concept of only removing the tobacco-specific nitrosamines from the Burley fraction in the tobacco mixture, in order, while retaining its taste "character", to obtain, together with the other tobacco components, an American Blend cigarette. The present invention provides a tobacco mixture of the American Blend type having a content of up to 70% by weight of Virginia tobaccos, up to 40% by weight of Burley tobaccos, up to 20%
by weight of oriental tobaccos and up to 5% by weight of other tobacco varieties characterized in that all, or the majority, of the Burley tobacco is present as cut reconstituted tobacco sheet which has been obtained using the TSNA adsorption method.
Preference is given to the reconstituted tobacco sheet having been impregnated with odiferous substances, flavouring agents and/or aromatizing substances either during and/or after its production.
The best results are achieved when the reconstituted tobacco sheet has been produced using a paper producing process, with this sheet then having been impregnated with the extract, or parts thereof, which has been obtained by means of the TSNA adsorption method.
The tobacco mixture according to the invention can be offered to the smoker as a fine-cut tobacco, which he can use for making cigarettes himself, as pipe tobacco or else as a cigarette-like smoking product and, in particular, as a factor-produced cigarette.
Surprisingly, it has been found that combining the TSNA adsorption method, which is exclusively used for the Burley component of the American Blend mixture, with the production of a reconstituted tobacco based exclusively on Burley tobacco, in connection with which an essentially pure Burley tobacco sheet is consequently obtained, results in a tobacco mixture which, on the one hand, corresponds in taste to the customary American Blend type and, on the other hand, exhibits a substantially lower content of TSNA in the mainstream smoke and the side-stream smoke, with a slight decrease in the nicotine content also occurring as an advantageous side-effect.
This surprising effect is obtained, in particular, when the majority, for example more than 60% by weight, of the Burley tobacco which is used consists of lamina, that is to say, the content of ribs and/or minor components is kept low.
Apart from the fact that all the other parameters of the American Blend tobacco mixture according to the invention, such as ash content, tobacco pH, acid number and also strand weight and draw resistance in a cigarette, are virtually unchanged as compared with an untreated American Blend tobacco mixture, the application of the TSNA adsorption method to the content of up to about 40% by weight of Burley tobacco in an American Blend tobacco mixture, and the use of a pure Burley tobacco sheet from which TSNA have been removed, is very much more economical than treating the entire tobacco mixture with the TSNA method.
The invention is explained below with the aid of examples.
Example 1 Filter cigarettes were produced from an American Blend tobacco mixture composed of 40% by weight of Burley and Maryland tobaccos, 48% by weight of Virginia tobacco and 12% by weight of oriental tobacco and their physical data, their smoke and tobacco contents, and their content of tobacco-specific nitrosamines, were determined.
The entire content of 40% by weight of Burley and Maryland tobaccos had been prepared, in analogy with Example 4 in WO 02/28209 Al, by means of the TSNA
adsorption method, using water as solvent and using active charcoal as adsorbing agent, with the reconstituted tobacco sheet, which had been obtained by means of the paper producing process, being processed into cut tobacco. Filter cigarettes composed of the same American Blend tobacco mixture in which conventional Burley and Maryland tobaccos had been used served for comparison.
The values in Table I below show that the tobacco-specific nitrosamines were reduced substantially in the cigarettes according to the invention, with the reduction amounting to up to 74% in the case of individual substances such as NAB/tobacco. The content of nicotine in the smoke/tobacco is also noticeably reduced whereas the physical data are virtually unchanged as compared with those of the comparison cigarettes.
An independent panel judged the cigarettes according to the invention to be equivalent to the comparison cigarettes in regard to taste and other properties.
While the content of Burley tobaccos in these tobacco mixtures contributes to augmenting the aroma and the "character" of the cigarette, it has the disadvantage that the content of nitrosamines is increased, both in the mainstream smoke and in the side-stream smoke, very much more than it is by the other tobacco varieties in an American Blend cigarette.
