Embodiment Construction

[0066] initial reference figure 1 , presents a method for producing a slurry according to the invention. The first step in the method of the present invention is the selection of the tobacco type and tobacco grade 100 to be used in the tobacco blend used to produce homogenized tobacco material. Tobacco types and tobacco grades useful in the methods of the invention are, for example, bright tobacco, dark tobacco, oriental tobacco and filler tobacco.

[0067] According to the following steps of the method of the invention, only selected tobacco types and tobacco grades intended for the production of homogenized tobacco material are processed.

[0068] The method comprises a further step 101 of laying the selected tobacco. This step may include checking tobacco integrity, such as grade and quantity, which may be verified, for example, by barcode readers for product tracking and traceability. After harvesting and curing, tobacco leaves are assigned grades, which describe leaf p...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method to produce a homogenized tobacco material for use in a heat-not-burn aerosol-generating article, comprising the steps of: - selecting a first target value for a first tobacco characteristic, said first tobacco characteristic being reducing sugars and the first target value being comprised between about (8) percent and about (18) percent in dry weight basis of a total amount of tobacco present within the homogenized tobacco material; - selecting a second target value of a second tobacco characteristic, wherein the second tobacco characteristic is one of total ammonia and total alkaloids; - blending graded tobacco types so as to form the tobacco blend, each graded tobacco type comprising a predetermined amount of the first and second tobacco characteristics, so that the first and second target values of said first and second tobacco characteristics are obtained in said blend within a predetermined tolerance range; - grinding said tobacco blend into a blended tobacco powder; - forming a slurry comprising the blended tobacco powder; and forming a web of homogenous tobacco web from the slurry.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a homogenized tobacco material and a method for producing homogenized tobacco material. [0002] In particular, the present invention relates to a method for producing homogenized tobacco material suitable for use in aerosol-generating articles, such as cigarettes or "heat-not-burn" products containing tobacco. Background technique [0003] Homogenized tobacco material is also used today in the manufacture of tobacco products (other than tobacco leaf). Such homogenized tobacco material is typically produced from parts of the tobacco plant, such as tobacco stems or tobacco dust, which are less suitable for the production of filler tobacco. Typically, tobacco dust is produced as a by-product during the handling of tobacco leaves during manufacture. [0004] The most commonly used forms of homogenized tobacco material are reconstituted tobacco sheet and cast leaf. Methods of forming sheets of homogenized tobacco materia...
