- a molecular weight of the starch hydrolyzate or an arrangement of sugar molecules constituting the starch hydrolyzate are not identical among the molecules of the starch hydrolyzate, and may differ according to a certain distribution or variations.
- the starch hydrolyzate exhibits different physical properties (for example, DE value) for each molecule due to the distribution and variations of the properties of the starch hydrolyzate, a difference in the cut section, or the like.
- DE value physical properties
- the starch hydrolyzate is a set of molecules representing different physical properties, but a result (i.e., DE value) measured by the Willstatter-Schudel method is regarded as a representative value indicating a degree of hydrolysis of starch.
- the starch hydrolyzate may be selected from the group consisting of dextrin having a DE value of about 2 to about 5, indigestible dextrin having a DE value of about 10 to about 15, and a mixture thereof.
- dextrin having a DE value of about 2 to about 5 for example, Finedex #100 (Masutani Chemical Industries Co., Ltd.) may be used.
- indigestible dextrin having a DE value of about 10 to about 15 for example, fine fiber (Matsutani Chemical Co., Ltd.) may be used.
- the fragrance-containing sheet may contain, based on a total of 100 parts by weight, about 2 parts to about 15 parts by weight of moisture, about 25 parts to about 90 parts by weight of modified cellulose, and about 0.1 parts to about 60 parts by weight of fragrance.
- the slurry may further contain at least one of a bulking agent, an aerosol former, and an emulsifier.
- a bulking agent may be, for example, dextrin
- the aerosol former may be, for example, at least one of glycerin and propylene glycol
- the emulsifier may be, for example, lecithin.
- FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating a fragrance-containing sheet 300 before being dried
- FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating a fragrance-containing sheet 400 after being dried.
- the fragrance-containing sheet 300 before being dried may have a thickness d1.
- the fragrance-containing sheet 400 after being dried may have a thickness d2.
- the thickness d1 of the fragrance-containing sheet 300 before being dried may be greater than the thickness d2 of the fragrance-containing sheet 400 after being dried.
- the fragrance-containing sheet 300 before being dried may have a thickness of about 0.2 mm to about 2.0 mm, and the fragrance-containing sheet 400 after being dried may have a thickness of about 0.01 mm to about 0.3 mm.
- the above-described difference in thickness may be derived from a difference in moisture content due to drying.
- FIG. 4 is diagram illustrating a cross-section of a first portion 500 of a smoking article, according to an embodiment.
- FIG. 4 may be a cross-sectional view of the first portion of the smoking article of FIG. 1.
- the first portion 500 may include a tobacco material 511 and a fragrance-containing sheet 513.
- the tobacco material 511 may be, for example, in the form of a tobacco sheet such as leaf tobacco cut fillers.
- the tobacco material 511 may be a tobacco sheet impregnated with an aerosol generating material or the like.
- an aerosol may be generated from the tobacco material 511, and a fragrance component volatilized from the fragrance-containing sheet 513 may move along with the aerosol.
- the manufacturing process may include the following operations: (1) heating water to about 80 °C to about 100 °C; (2) adding and dissolving agar, gelatin, or gellan gum; (3) cooling down to about 60 °C; and (4) adding a fragrance component such as menthol and the like.
- the slurry is required to be maintained at about 60 °C in a storage tank, a transfer line, an application nozzle, and the like.
- fragrance components such as menthol are not soluble in water, there is a need to use an emulsifier.
- the slurry of the fragrance-containing sheet for smoking articles may include modified cellulose (e.g., HPMC, MC, CMC, or EC) having a grade within a specific numerical range.
- the slurry of the fragrance-containing sheet for smoking articles may contain, for example, distilled water, ethanol, dextrin, glycerin, and menthol.
- dextrin and glycerin may be dissolved in distilled water at room temperature
- the menthol and modified cellulose e.g., HPMC, MC, CMC, or EC
- the slurry of the fragrance-containing sheet for smoking articles according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure includes a relatively small amount of distilled water and at least a certain amount of alcohol. As such, there is an advantage in that drying time is relatively short.
- the manufacturing process may include the following operations: (1) dissolving menthol in ethanol, and adding and dispersing modified cellulose (e.g., HPMC, MC, CMC, or EC); (2) adding distilled water; and (3) adding a fragrance component.
- modified cellulose e.g., HPMC, MC, CMC, or EC
- adding distilled water e.g., distilled water
- adding a fragrance component e.g., a process of separately heating the slurry is not required, and accordingly there is no need to maintain the temperature in the storage tank, the transfer line, the application nozzle, and the like.
- the slurry need not necessarily contain an emulsifier.
- Table 1 below shows a content proportion of each component of the fragrance-containing sheet for smoking articles according to an embodiment. Ethanol was all evaporated while the slurry was dried.
- Modified cellulose e.g., HPMC, MC, CMC, or EC
- Menthol Moisture Propylene glycol Sum Content wt%) 52.6 29.8 7.0 10.5 100
- FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a configuration of a combustion-type cigarette 600.
- the combustion-type cigarette 600 includes: a first segment 610 including a tobacco material and a fragrance-containing sheet; and a second segment 620 including a filter element.
- the first segment 610 and the second segment 620 are arranged in series along a longitudinal direction of the combustion-type cigarette 600, and the fragrance-containing sheet includes modified cellulose.
- the first segment 610 may be ignited by a user. As the first segment 610 is ignited, fragrance generated from the fragrance-containing sheet may flow into the second segment 620 along with cigarette smoke.
- fragrance-containing sheet for smoking articles and the smoking article may be equally applied to the combustion-type cigarette 600 according to another aspect of the present disclosure.
