example 1

[0125] use figure 1 An apparatus of the type shown in , produces a first rod for use in the present invention comprising a gathered curled sheet of homogeneous tobacco material bounded by a wrapper. A continuous sheet of homogenized tobacco material comprising 12.5 percent by weight glycerin and 12.5 percent by weight lemon on a dry weight basis produced by a casting process for forming rods Acid triethyl ester.

[0126] For comparison purposes, a continuous sheet of homogenized tobacco material comprising 25 percent by weight glycerin on a dry weight basis was used to form a second rod in the same manner.

[0127] A heated aerosol-generating article according to the invention comprising the first strip and a heated aerosol-generating article not according to the invention comprising the second strip were prepared. The sensory properties of heated aerosol-generating articles were evaluated by a panel of consumer experts.

[0130] use figure 1 An apparatus of the type shown in , produces a third rod for use in the present invention comprising a gathered curled sheet of homogeneous tobacco material bounded by a wrapper. A continuous sheet of homogenized tobacco material produced by a molding process comprising 9.4 percent by weight sorbitol, 3.1 percent by weight on a dry weight basis, is used to form rods of invert sugar and 7.5 percent by weight of triethyl citrate.

Abstract

A heated aerosol-generating article comprises an aerosol-generating substrate, wherein the aerosol-generating substrate comprises a rod comprising a gathered sheet of homogenised tobacco material circumscribed by a wrapper. The sheet of homogenised tobacco material comprises one or more plasticisers and at least about 5 percent by weight triethyl citrate on a dry weight basis. The one or more plasticisers are preferably selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol, sugars and polyhydric alcohols. The sheet of homogenised tobacco material is preferably crimped or otherwise textured.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to heated aerosol-generating articles comprising an aerosol-generating substrate, wherein the aerosol-generating substrate comprises an improved rod comprising a gathered sheet of homogenized tobacco material. Background technique [0002] Processes and apparatus for producing threads, strands or rods of tobacco material for forming rods for smoking articles are known. Typically, threads, strands and rods of such tobacco material are about 3 mm or less in width. [0003] For example, US-A-4,000,748 discloses a process and apparatus for cutting a sheet of reconstituted tobacco into rods and crimping the resulting rods in substantially simultaneous operations. Curled strips reportedly provide an increase in fill value. [0004] The use of crimped or uncrimped filaments comprising tobacco material in rod formation for smoking articles has a number of disadvantages, including those discussed below. [0005] First, shredding...
