Definitions
- the present invention relates to a flavor aspirator.
- an acetate filter in which cellulose acetate fiber as a filtering material is filled in a tubular wrapper is usually used.
- the cellulose acetate fiber is a semi-synthetic fiber, for example, when the flavor aspirator is discarded, the dispersibility and decomposability are low, and the load on the natural environment is large. Therefore, from the viewpoint of reducing the environmental load, it is desired to develop a filter using natural fibers.
- the filter containing natural fibers include a paper filter containing paper made of plant pulp as a filter material.
- the paper filter has different filtration characteristics of smoke components from the acetate filter, and the paper filter tends to remove more particle phase components and less steam phase components than the acetate filter. Due to the filtration characteristics, a flavor aspirator provided with a paper filter tends to have less umami components in flavor and increase discomfort, and improvement in flavor quality is desired.
- Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose a method of adding an additive such as polyalkylene glycol or triacetin to the paper filter.

Description
本発明は香味吸引器に関する。
The present invention relates to a flavor aspirator.
たばこ等の香味成分を含む香味吸引器用のフィルターとしては、通常、濾過材としての酢酸セルロース繊維を筒状のラッパー内に充填したアセテートフィルターが用いられている。しかし、酢酸セルロース繊維は半合成繊維であるため、例えば香味吸引器が廃棄される際に分散性や分解性が低く、自然環境への負荷が大きい。そのため、環境負荷低減の観点から、天然繊維を使用したフィルターの開発が望まれている。
As a filter for a flavor aspirator containing a flavor component such as tobacco, an acetate filter in which cellulose acetate fiber as a filtering material is filled in a tubular wrapper is usually used. However, since the cellulose acetate fiber is a semi-synthetic fiber, for example, when the flavor aspirator is discarded, the dispersibility and decomposability are low, and the load on the natural environment is large. Therefore, from the viewpoint of reducing the environmental load, it is desired to develop a filter using natural fibers.
天然繊維を含むフィルターとしては、例えば植物パルプからなる紙を濾過材として含む紙フィルターが挙げられる。しかし、紙フィルターはアセテートフィルターと煙成分の濾過特性が異なり、アセテートフィルターと比較して紙フィルターは粒子相成分が多く除去され、蒸気相成分の除去が少ない傾向にある。当該濾過特性のため、紙フィルターを備える香味吸引器では、香味において旨味成分が少なく不快感が増す傾向にあり、香味品質の向上が望まれている。
Examples of the filter containing natural fibers include a paper filter containing paper made of plant pulp as a filter material. However, the paper filter has different filtration characteristics of smoke components from the acetate filter, and the paper filter tends to remove more particle phase components and less steam phase components than the acetate filter. Due to the filtration characteristics, a flavor aspirator provided with a paper filter tends to have less umami components in flavor and increase discomfort, and improvement in flavor quality is desired.
前記紙フィルターの濾過特性をアセテートフィルターに近似させる方法として、例えば特許文献1及び2には、紙フィルターにポリアルキレングリコール、トリアセチン等の添加剤を添加する方法が開示されている。
As a method of making the filtration characteristics of the paper filter similar to that of an acetate filter, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose a method of adding an additive such as polyalkylene glycol or triacetin to the paper filter.
一方、特許文献3には、ホルムアルデヒドの発生量が少ないシートたばこを製造することを目的として、糖含有量とグルタミン含有量が所定比率のたばこ原料から抽出液を得て、該抽出液を、抽出後の残渣を成形したシートにかけ戻す方法が開示されている。
On the other hand, in Patent Document 3, for the purpose of producing sheet tobacco with a small amount of formaldehyde generation, an extract is obtained from a tobacco raw material having a sugar content and a glutamine content in a predetermined ratio, and the extract is extracted. A method of applying the later residue back to the molded sheet is disclosed.
しかし、特許文献1や2に開示されるようなフィルターに添加剤を添加する方法は、製造工程やその管理が煩雑であり、また、添加剤の染み出しによる各種ラッパーの糊付不良やインクの溶解が生じ、製品品質が低下する場合がある。したがって、当該方法では、添加剤の物性制御や添加技術において高度な技術が必要となり、実用的でない。また、特許文献3には、天然繊維を含むフィルターを備える香味吸引器は開示されていない。
However, the method of adding an additive to a filter as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 is complicated in the manufacturing process and its management, and also causes poor adhesion of various wrappers due to exudation of the additive and ink. Dissolution may occur and product quality may deteriorate. Therefore, this method requires advanced techniques for controlling the physical properties of additives and adding techniques, and is not practical. Further, Patent Document 3 does not disclose a flavor aspirator including a filter containing natural fibers.
本発明は、天然繊維を含むフィルターを備える香味吸引器において、香味品質が改善された香味吸引器を提供することを目的とする。
An object of the present invention is to provide a flavor aspirator having an improved flavor quality in a flavor aspirator provided with a filter containing natural fibers.

[第一の実施形態]
本発明の第一の実施形態に係る香味吸引器は、たばこ含有セグメントと、第一のフィルターセグメントと、を備える。該たばこ含有セグメントは、筒状のラッパーと、該ラッパー内に充填されたたばこ充填物と、を含む。また、該第一のフィルターセグメントは、天然繊維を含むフィルターを備える。ここで、前記たばこ含有セグメントは、グルコース、フルクトース及びスクロースからなる三糖と、アスパラギン酸、グルタミン酸及びアスパラギンからなる三アミノ酸と、を含む。また、前記たばこ含有セグメントに含まれる、前記三アミノ酸に対する前記三糖の質量比率(三糖/三アミノ酸)は12~60である。 [First Embodiment]
The flavor aspirator according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a tobacco-containing segment and a first filter segment. The tobacco-containing segment comprises a tubular wrapper and a tobacco filler filled therein. The first filter segment also comprises a filter containing natural fibers. Here, the tobacco-containing segment contains a trisaccharide consisting of glucose, fructose and sucrose, and a triamino acid consisting of aspartic acid, glutamic acid and asparagine. The mass ratio of the trisaccharide to the three amino acids (trisaccharide / triamino acid) contained in the tobacco-containing segment is 12 to 60.
本発明の第一の実施形態に係る香味吸引器は、たばこ含有セグメントと、第一のフィルターセグメントと、を備える。該たばこ含有セグメントは、筒状のラッパーと、該ラッパー内に充填されたたばこ充填物と、を含む。また、該第一のフィルターセグメントは、天然繊維を含むフィルターを備える。ここで、前記たばこ含有セグメントは、グルコース、フルクトース及びスクロースからなる三糖と、アスパラギン酸、グルタミン酸及びアスパラギンからなる三アミノ酸と、を含む。また、前記たばこ含有セグメントに含まれる、前記三アミノ酸に対する前記三糖の質量比率(三糖/三アミノ酸)は12~60である。 [First Embodiment]
The flavor aspirator according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a tobacco-containing segment and a first filter segment. The tobacco-containing segment comprises a tubular wrapper and a tobacco filler filled therein. The first filter segment also comprises a filter containing natural fibers. Here, the tobacco-containing segment contains a trisaccharide consisting of glucose, fructose and sucrose, and a triamino acid consisting of aspartic acid, glutamic acid and asparagine. The mass ratio of the trisaccharide to the three amino acids (trisaccharide / triamino acid) contained in the tobacco-containing segment is 12 to 60.
本発明者等は、天然繊維を含むフィルターを備える香味吸引器において、たばこ含有セグメントに含まれる、前記三アミノ酸に対する前記三糖の質量比率(三糖/三アミノ酸)を12~60の範囲内に制御することで、香味品質が改善されることを見出した。前述したように、アセテートフィルターでは蒸気相成分である不快感原因成分を十分に除去できるが、天然繊維を含むフィルターでは該不快感原因成分を十分に除去できない。しかし、前記質量比率(三糖/三アミノ酸)を12以上とすることにより、甘味や旨味が増加し、不快感をカバーすることで、香味品質を向上できると推測される。また、前記質量比率が60を超えると、前記三糖の含有比率が高くなり、前記三糖に由来する不快感を感じるようになる。そのため、前記質量比率が12~60の範囲内において、香味品質が改善されると推測される。さらに、前記質量比率が12~60の範囲内である場合、たばこ含有セグメントを燃焼又は加熱した際にメイラード反応が適切に生じ、旨味が向上するため、結果として香味品質が改善されると推測される。
In a flavor aspirator provided with a filter containing natural fibers, the present inventors set the mass ratio of the trisaccharide to the triamino acid (trisaccharide / triamino acid) contained in the tobacco-containing segment within the range of 12 to 60. It has been found that control improves flavor quality. As described above, the acetate filter can sufficiently remove the discomfort-causing component which is a vapor phase component, but the filter containing natural fibers cannot sufficiently remove the discomfort-causing component. However, it is presumed that by setting the mass ratio (trisaccharide / triamino acid) to 12 or more, sweetness and umami are increased, and by covering the discomfort, the flavor quality can be improved. Further, when the mass ratio exceeds 60, the content ratio of the trisaccharide becomes high, and the discomfort derived from the trisaccharide is felt. Therefore, it is presumed that the flavor quality is improved when the mass ratio is in the range of 12 to 60. Further, when the mass ratio is in the range of 12 to 60, it is presumed that the Maillard reaction appropriately occurs when the tobacco-containing segment is burned or heated, and the umami is improved, resulting in improvement in flavor quality. To.
本実施形態において、前記三アミノ酸に対する前記三糖の質量比率(三糖/三アミノ酸)は12~60であり、15~60が好ましく、16.5~60がより好ましい。なお、たばこ含有セグメントに含まれる前記三アミノ酸と、前記三糖の含有量は以下の方法により測定される。
In the present embodiment, the mass ratio of the trisaccharide to the three amino acids (trisaccharide / triamino acid) is 12 to 60, preferably 15 to 60, and more preferably 16.5 to 60. The contents of the three amino acids and the trisaccharide contained in the tobacco-containing segment are measured by the following methods.

(非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器)
本実施形態に係る香味吸引器は、非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器であることができる。本実施形態に係る非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器の一例を図2に示す。図2に示される非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器7は、たばこ含有セグメント8と、マウスピースセグメント9とを備える。マウスピースセグメント9は、冷却セグメント10と、センターホールセグメント11と、第一のフィルターセグメント12とを備える。吸引時、たばこ含有セグメント8が加熱され、たばこ充填物に含まれる各成分が気化し、吸引によりこれらはマウスピースセグメント9へ移行する。そして、第一のフィルターセグメント12の端部より吸引が行われる。 (Non-combustion heating type flavor aspirator)
The flavor aspirator according to the present embodiment can be a non-combustion heating type flavor aspirator. FIG. 2 shows an example of the non-combustion heating type flavor aspirator according to the present embodiment. The non-combustion heatingtype flavor aspirator 7 shown in FIG. 2 includes a tobacco-containing segment 8 and a mouthpiece segment 9. The mouthpiece segment 9 includes a cooling segment 10, a center hole segment 11, and a first filter segment 12. At the time of suction, the tobacco-containing segment 8 is heated, and each component contained in the tobacco filling is vaporized, and these are transferred to the mouthpiece segment 9 by suction. Then, suction is performed from the end of the first filter segment 12.
本実施形態に係る香味吸引器は、非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器であることができる。本実施形態に係る非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器の一例を図2に示す。図2に示される非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器7は、たばこ含有セグメント8と、マウスピースセグメント9とを備える。マウスピースセグメント9は、冷却セグメント10と、センターホールセグメント11と、第一のフィルターセグメント12とを備える。吸引時、たばこ含有セグメント8が加熱され、たばこ充填物に含まれる各成分が気化し、吸引によりこれらはマウスピースセグメント9へ移行する。そして、第一のフィルターセグメント12の端部より吸引が行われる。 (Non-combustion heating type flavor aspirator)
The flavor aspirator according to the present embodiment can be a non-combustion heating type flavor aspirator. FIG. 2 shows an example of the non-combustion heating type flavor aspirator according to the present embodiment. The non-combustion heating
冷却セグメント10は筒状部材13で構成されることができる。筒状部材13は例えば厚紙を円筒状に加工した紙管であることができる。筒状部材13及び後述するマウスピースライニングペーパー18には、両者を貫通する穿孔14が設けられている。穿孔14の存在により、吸引時に外気が冷却セグメント10内に導入される。これにより、たばこ含有セグメント8が加熱されることで生成したエアロゾル気化成分が外気と接触し、その温度が低下するため液化し、エアロゾルが形成される。穿孔14の径(差し渡し長さ)は特に限定されないが、例えば0.5~1.5mmであることができる。穿孔14の数は特に限定されず、1つでも2つ以上でもよい。例えば穿孔14は冷却セグメント10の周上に複数設けられていてもよい。
The cooling segment 10 can be composed of a tubular member 13. The tubular member 13 can be, for example, a paper tube obtained by processing thick paper into a cylindrical shape. The tubular member 13 and the mouthpiece lining paper 18, which will be described later, are provided with a perforation 14 penetrating both of them. The presence of the perforations 14 introduces outside air into the cooling segment 10 during suction. As a result, the aerosol vaporization component generated by heating the tobacco-containing segment 8 comes into contact with the outside air, and the temperature drops, so that the aerosol is liquefied to form an aerosol. The diameter (spread length) of the perforation 14 is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 0.5 to 1.5 mm. The number of perforations 14 is not particularly limited, and may be one or two or more. For example, a plurality of drillings 14 may be provided on the periphery of the cooling segment 10.
センターホールセグメント11は、中空部を有する充填層15と、充填層15を覆うインナープラグラッパー16とで構成されることができる。センターホールセグメント11は、マウスピースセグメント9の強度を高める機能を有する。充填層15は、例えば酢酸セルロース繊維が高密度で充填され、トリアセチンを含む可塑剤が酢酸セルロース質量に対して6~20質量%添加されて硬化された、内径φ5.0~φ1.0mmのロッドであることができる。充填層15は繊維の充填密度が高いため、吸引時は空気やエアロゾルは中空部のみを流れることになり、充填層15内はほとんど流れない。第一のフィルターセグメント12でのエアロゾル成分の濾過による減少を少なくしたいときに、第一のフィルターセグメント12の長さを短くし、センターホールセグメント11で置き換えることは、エアロゾル成分のデリバリー量を増大させるために有効である。センターホールセグメント11内部の充填層15は繊維充填層であることから、使用時の外側からの触り心地は良好である。
The center hole segment 11 can be composed of a packed layer 15 having a hollow portion and an inner plug wrapper 16 that covers the packed layer 15. The center hole segment 11 has a function of increasing the strength of the mouthpiece segment 9. The packed bed 15 is a rod having an inner diameter of φ5.0 to φ1.0 mm, for example, in which cellulose acetate fibers are packed at a high density and a plasticizer containing triacetin is added in an amount of 6 to 20% by mass with respect to the mass of cellulose acetate and cured. Can be. Since the packed layer 15 has a high fiber filling density, air and aerosol flow only in the hollow portion during suction, and hardly flow in the packed layer 15. When it is desired to reduce the reduction of the aerosol component due to filtration in the first filter segment 12, shortening the length of the first filter segment 12 and replacing it with the center hole segment 11 increases the delivery amount of the aerosol component. Is effective for. Since the packed layer 15 inside the center hole segment 11 is a fiber-filled layer, the feel from the outside during use is good.
センターホールセグメント11と、第一のフィルターセグメント12とはアウタープラグラッパー17で接続されている。アウタープラグラッパー17は、例えば円筒状の紙であることができる。また、たばこ含有セグメント8と、冷却セグメント10と、接続済みのセンターホールセグメント11及び第一のフィルターセグメント12とは、マウスピースライニングペーパー18により接続されている。これらの接続は、例えばマウスピースライニングペーパー18の内側面に酢酸ビニル系糊等の糊を塗り、前記3つのセグメントを入れて巻くことで接続することができる。
The center hole segment 11 and the first filter segment 12 are connected by an outer plug wrapper 17. The outer plug wrapper 17 can be, for example, cylindrical paper. Further, the tobacco-containing segment 8, the cooling segment 10, the connected center hole segment 11 and the first filter segment 12 are connected by the mouthpiece lining paper 18. These connections can be made by, for example, applying glue such as vinyl acetate glue to the inner surface of the mouthpiece lining paper 18, inserting the above three segments, and winding them.
本実施形態に係る非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器の軸方向、すなわち図2における水平方向の長さは特に限定されないが、40~90mmであることが好ましく、50~75mmであることがより好ましく、50~60mmであることがさらに好ましい。また、非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器の周の長さは16~25mmであることが好ましく、20~24mmであることがより好ましく、21~23mmであることがさらに好ましい。例えば、たばこ含有セグメント8の長さは20mm、冷却セグメント10の長さは20mm、センターホールセグメント11の長さは8mm、第一のフィルターセグメント12の長さは7mmである態様を挙げることができる。これら個々のセグメント長さは、製造適性、要求品質等に応じて、適宜変更できる。さらに、センターホールセグメント11を用いずに、冷却セグメント10の下流側に第一のフィルターセグメント12のみを配置してもよい。本実施形態に係る非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器では、第一のフィルターセグメント12が天然繊維を含むフィルターを備えるが、良好な香味を実現することができる。

FIG. 3A shows a state before the non-combustion heating type flavor aspirator 7 is inserted into the heating device 19, and FIG. 3B shows a state in which the non-combustion heating type flavor aspirator 7 is inserted into the heating device 19 and heated. Indicates the state to be used. The heating device 19 shown in FIG. 3 includes a body 20, a heater 21, a metal tube 22, a battery unit 23, and a control unit 24. The body 20 has a tubular recess 25, and a heater 21 and a metal tube are located on the inner side surface of the recess 25 at a position corresponding to the tobacco-containing segment of the non-combustion heating type flavor aspirator 7 inserted into the recess 25. 22 is arranged. The heater 21 can be a heater by electric resistance, and electric power is supplied from the battery unit 23 according to an instruction from the control unit 24 that controls the temperature, and the heater 21 is heated. The heat generated from the heater 21 is transferred to the tobacco-containing segment of the non-combustion heating type flavor aspirator 7 through the metal tube 22 having high thermal conductivity.
図3(b)においては模式的に図示しているため、非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器7の外周と金属管22の内周との間に隙間があるが、実際は、熱を効率的に伝達する目的で非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器7の外周と金属管22の内周との間に隙間は無い方が望ましい。また、加熱装置19は非燃焼加熱型香味吸引器7のたばこ含有セグメントを外側から加熱するが、内側から加熱するものであってもよい。内側から加熱するものである場合、金属管22を用いずに、剛直性のある板状、ブレード状、柱状ヒーターを用いることが好ましい。係るヒーターとしては、例えばセラミック基材の上にモリブデンやタングステン等を付与したセラミックヒーターが挙げられる。
Since it is schematically shown in FIG. 3B, there is a gap between the outer circumference of the non-combustion heating type flavor aspirator 7 and the inner circumference of the metal tube 22, but in reality, heat is efficiently transferred. For the purpose of this, it is desirable that there is no gap between the outer circumference of the non-combustion heating type flavor aspirator 7 and the inner circumference of the metal tube 22. Further, although the heating device 19 heats the tobacco-containing segment of the non-combustion heating type flavor aspirator 7 from the outside, it may be heated from the inside. When heating from the inside, it is preferable to use a rigid plate-shaped, blade-shaped, or columnar heater instead of using the metal tube 22. Examples of the heater include a ceramic heater in which molybdenum, tungsten, or the like is added onto a ceramic base material.
加熱装置による加熱温度は特に限定されないが、400℃以下であることが好ましく、150℃以上400℃以下であることがより好ましく、200℃以上350℃以下であることがさらに好ましい。なお、加熱温度とは加熱装置のヒーターの温度を示す。
