As shown in Table 2: the higher design of cigarettes of the ventilation ratio that the aeration resistance of filter tip is lower, air flows into, in cigarette Menthol amount and M/T ratio more become high value.It is thought that because, in the aeration resistance of filter tip and the relationship of ventilation ratio In, tar is different with the filtration rate of menthol.Specifically, using the filter tip of low pass atmidometer, except filtering Inside mouth except the physical filtering phenomenon of cigarette, it is total because of tow to condense/be adsorbed in the amount of the menthol of the bunch fiber of filter tip Amount is lowered less, and menthol amount and M/T ratio increase in cigarette.In addition, for the design of high ventilation ratio, filter tip Internal cigarette it is elongated by the time, it is however generally that, the filtration rate of tar and menthol increases, but the few low pass gas of total amount of tow In the filter tip of resistance, the filtration rate of menthol is not easy to increase, and M/T ratio increases.It, can be with as a result, compared with the filtration rate of tar Making the filtration rate of menthol reduces.In sensory evaluation, also it can be obtained being had differences in terms of menthol impression as a result, confirmation Menthol impression to embodiment 1 and 2 is significantly higher than comparative example 1.
The present embodiment and the aeration resistance for being envisioned for filter tip compared to the preferred range of comparative example are 80mmH2O/ 27mm or less and ventilation ratio are 55% or more, preferably 61% or more, and further preferred range is envisioned for as embodiment The 50mmH of 1 condition2O/27mm or less and ventilation ratio are 70% or more.It, can in view of the practical manufacturing process of filter tip The range of the aeration resistance of manufacture is 25mmH2The above are the ranges of reality by O/27mm.The raw material of filter tip is characterized in that, by Cellulose acetate tow is constituted.
By demonstrated above: the high cigarette of ventilation ratio by being designed as air inflow, menthol amount increases in cigarette.At this In embodiment, the cigarette for the use of filter length being 27mm but is not limited to this form, can be in arbitrary length To same effect.In addition, the circumferential length about the cigarette, use the condition of 24.8mm in the present embodiment, but close to The circumferential length range of the present embodiment specifically can expect same effect in the range of 20.0mm~27.0mm, more excellent It is selected as the range of 24.0mm~26.0mm.
1~4 > of < reference example
The filter tip through menthol flavoring can be made in storage in cigarette using the low filter tip of aeration resistance to verify Menthol amount becomes stable, and the storage period of filter tip and the storage period in the form of cigarette pack is changed, according to shown in table 3 The aeration resistance and filter tip flavoring amount of filter tip, to menthol in the cigarette of the change with filter tip and the storage period of cigarette Amount implements test.Here, being not provided with the venthole of filtering mouth to remove the influence of other factors, filter tip is only changed Aeration resistance implements test.
In addition to the holding conditions of filter tip, aeration resistance and ventilation ratio, according to the embodiment 1,2 of front and compared with The same sequence of example 1,2 implements test.
[table 3]
Table 4 shows the condition of filter tip and the storage period in the form of cigarette pack.As the storage item between most short-term Part can enumerate the condition of manufacture and the storage without cigarette pack form that cigarette is immediately used to after making filter tip (condition A) on the other hand can be enumerated under the holding conditions of longest period, stored 2 months after filter tip production, used this After filter tip makes cigarette, the cigarette 2 months conditions (condition G) are further stored with packaged configuration.To have passed through condition A Each cigarette of~G implements the measurement to menthol amount in cigarette and tar content.
[table 4]
Table 4
Table 5 and Fig. 1 show the result of test.Reduced rate shown in table 5 be indicate with without implement filter tip storage and with When the M/T ratio of the condition A of the storage of cigarette pack form compares, it is each under the conditions of M/T ratio reduced rate value.Fig. 1 is shown The reduced rate of M/T ratio under the conditions of each.
[table 5]
Following result can be obtained according to table 5 and Fig. 1: the storage period of filter tip and with the storage period of the packaged configuration of cigarette Between it is longer, the value of obtained menthol amount is smaller.In addition, the aeration resistance of confirmation filter tip is bigger, the reduced rate of M/T ratio is got over Greatly, it is known that: reference example 2~4 is compared with the reference example 1 for meeting the essential condition of filter tip aeration resistance of claim 1, M/T The reduced rate of ratio is big.It is thought that because, the filter tip of low pass atmidometer since tow weight is low, with high aeration resistance Filter tip compare, absorption of the menthol to filter tip can be reduced, the release efficiency of per unit menthol amount is high.
It is confirmed by above result: by using the low filter tip of the aeration resistance of filter tip, readily and stably keeping cigarette In menthol amount.It, can also be same by the high conditional combination of the low filter tip of aeration resistance and ventilation ratio Ground obtains the effect, and the amount that can make menthol in cigarette increases, and the perfume (or spice) of menthol is also readily and stably kept after storage Cigarette.
5~8 > of < reference example
Menthol flavoring amount in filter tip be set as every 1 contained in amount be 8mg or more in the case where, in order to verify The amount of menthol becomes more stable in cigarette, and filter tip aeration resistance is set as constant, implements to change the menthol in filter tip The test of flavoring amount and the storage period of filter tip.Table 6 shows the menthol flavoring amount in filter tip.It should be noted that Herein also in the same manner as reference example 1~4, in order to remove the influence of other impact factors, it is not provided with venthole in filtering mouth, only The aeration resistance of filter tip is changed, test is implemented.
[table 6]
The storage environment of filter tip is implemented, about filtering in the same manner as reference example 1~4 under 22 DEG C of temperature, humidity 60% The storage period of mouth starts, never implementing storage (be labeled as 0) to storage 2 weeks (being labeled as 2W), 5 weeks (labeled as 5W), most Implement test under conditions of 2 months long (being labeled as 2M), according to the menthol flavoring amount in filter tip, by with menthol in cigarette The ratio that the form of amount is released release rate expressed as a percentage is compared.Here, being envisioned by the reference example 1~4 of front To: the not firm storage for imposing cigarette pack form, by only changing the storage period of filter tip, only investigating filter tip storage causes Influence, but by further implementing storage in the form of cigarette pack, release rate is further decreased.Therefore, test in this Do not implement the menthol flavoring to the pipe tobacco in tobacco rod portion, menthol is only discharged by filtering mouth.Except pipe tobacco/filter tip menthol Other than the storage period of flavoring amount, ventilation ratio and filter tip, according to same as the embodiment 1,2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 of front Step implements test.Test result is shown in table 7 and Fig. 2.
[table 7]
From table 7 and Fig. 2: the menthol flavoring amount of filter tip is more, more stable with the release rate of ongoing change, with Reference example 5,6 is compared, it may be said that the ongoing change patience of reference example 7,8 is strong.This is because making to add by largely adding menthol The menthol amount added is the amount adsorbed by tow or more, and can reduce caused by the absorption of menthol influences.It is contemplated that making With aeration resistance than the lower filter tip of reference example 5~8 in the case where, since the menthol amount itself adsorbed by tow reduces, Therefore the effect can be more obvious.Confirmed as above result: the menthol flavoring amount in filter tip is contained in every 1 In the case that amount is 8mg or more, the amount of menthol is become stable in cigarette.Menthol flavoring amount in preferred filter tip is 10mg or more is further preferably equivalent to the 12mg or more of the condition of reference example 8.
< embodiment 3 and comparative example 3,4 >
The comparative test that embodiment 1,2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are tar content when being 5mg, in order to verify this technology using as It is in the case that the 1mg of lower tar content is target and effective, implemented and embodiment 1,2 with test level shown in table 8 And Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is similarly tested.In addition, similarly, carrying out sensory evaluation together.
[table 8]
Table 9 shows test result, in smoke abatement except menthol amount and tar content, it is also shown that M/T ratio.
[table 9]
As shown in Table 9: the menthol amount highest of embodiment 3 also can be obtained most in the case where being compared with M/T ratio High result.The impression of menthol is evaluated about sensory evaluation, the sense of significantly high menthol also can be obtained in embodiment 3 By in the same manner as the evaluation of embodiment 1,2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 that front is implemented, the value of menthol amount is substantially different, therefore, recognizes For there are differences.By identified above: in the very low range of tar content, this technology is effective.
