Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nicotine oral delivery flavoring technology, specifically to a solid flavoring composition, solid flavorings prepared therefrom, and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] Blueberry flavoring is a flavoring substance that mimics the aroma characteristics of blueberries through chemical synthesis or natural extraction. Currently, the preparation of blueberry flavoring mainly follows two technical routes: natural extraction and artificial synthesis. Artificial synthesis uses chemical synthesis methods to compound characteristic blueberry aroma components (such as ethyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, and linalool), at a cost only 1 / 5 to 1 / 3 that of natural extracts, and boasts high stability (shelf life can reach over 24 months). Artificial flavorings are mainly used in food and beverages, tobacco products, and daily chemical products. Nicotine pouches, as smokeless nicotine delivery products, need to use flavorings to mask the strong alkaline bitterness of nicotine, thereby reducing consumer discomfort during product use. For example, ZYN nicotine pouches with a blueberry flavor use an anhydrous formula, achieving a rapid release of fruity aroma in the mouth through the synergistic effect of synthetic blueberry flavoring and nicotine salts, while maintaining efficient nicotine delivery.

[0003] However, blueberry flavoring suffers from poor stability and incompatibility with nicotine, which is related to its content of vanillin. Vanillin (3-methoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde), a key aroma compound in blueberry flavoring, has phenolic hydroxyl and aldehyde groups in its molecular structure, making it unstable in complex systems. In traditional blueberry flavoring formulations, vanillin provides sweet and creamy aromas that significantly enhance the fullness of the blueberry aroma, but its thermo-oxidative stability is poor. Under storage conditions of 60℃, the aldehyde group easily undergoes oxidation to generate vanillic acid, resulting in a decrease in aroma intensity of approximately 12-15% per month, accompanied by the formation of a slight yellow substance. Simultaneously, vanillin readily ionizes under neutral and alkaline conditions, forming phenolic anions. The expansion of the conjugated system of this ion leads to a red shift in the absorption spectrum, macroscopically manifested as a deepening of color. Studies have shown that when the system pH > 7.5, the color change rate of vanillin is 4-6 times faster than under acidic conditions (pH < 5). As an emerging smokeless nicotine delivery product, nicotine pouches typically have a substrate pH value controlled within the range of 8-9.5 to promote the release of free nicotine alkali. This highly alkaline environment makes vanillin more prone to discoloration, severely impacting consumers' sensory experience and product trust in nicotine pouches.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a blueberry solid flavor that is not easily discolored and has good stability under high temperature and high pH conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems existing in the prior art and to provide a solid fragrance composition, a solid fragrance prepared therefrom, and its application.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of the present invention provides a solid fragrance composition, wherein the composition comprises the following components: a liquid fragrance base, a water-soluble encapsulating agent, and ethyl vanillin glucoside.

[0007] A second aspect of the present invention provides a solid fragrance prepared from the solid fragrance composition described in the first aspect.

[0008] A third aspect of the present invention provides the use of the solid flavoring according to the second aspect in the preparation of nicotine pouches.

[0009] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides a nicotine pouch comprising the solid fragrance described in the second aspect.

[0010] The beneficial technical effects achieved by the present invention through the above technical solution are as follows:

[0011] (1) The solid fragrance prepared by the solid fragrance composition provided by the present invention is not easy to change color: the prepared solid fragrance can still maintain a white powder state at high temperature (e.g., 40°C oven) and high pH (e.g., pH 8-9.5);

[0012] (2) The solid flavor prepared by the solid flavor composition provided by the present invention has high flavor stability: the prepared solid flavor can still maintain the original flavor to a high extent after being placed at high temperature (e.g., 40°C oven) and high pH (pH of nicotine bag base material is 8-9.5) for 12 hours; by adding ethyl vanillin glucoside and encapsulation technology, the flavor and color of nicotine bag are protected in a synergistic way, thereby improving the overall stability of solid flavor.

[0013] (3) Nicotine pouches prepared with added solid flavoring can maintain a good appearance and lasting flavor, extend the shelf life of nicotine pouches, and thus enhance the consumer experience. Attached Figure Description

[0080] Test Example 1

[0081] (1) Methods and standards for testing the stability of nicotine bags:

[0082] The blueberry-flavored nicotine pouches prepared in Application Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were placed in packaging boxes, with 10 pouches in each box. The boxes were then placed in a 40°C oven for 12 hours. Samples were taken every 4 hours for color index testing, sensory evaluation, and determination of ethyl vanillin glucoside or vanillin content. The 12 hours of storage at 40°C is estimated to be equivalent to 96 hours at room temperature.

[0083] Color parameters are measured using a colorimeter, including:

[0084] ΔL represents the difference in brightness (lightness difference) of a color. When ΔL is positive, the test color is brighter than the standard color; when ΔL is negative, the test color is darker than the standard color.

[0085] Δa represents the difference in color along the red-green axis. When Δa is positive, the test color is reddish; when Δa is negative, the test color is greenish.

[0086] Δb represents the color difference on the yellow-blue axis. When Δb is positive, the test color is more yellow; when Δb is negative, the test color is more blue.

[0087] ΔE is a comprehensive color difference index calculated based on ΔL, Δa, and Δb, reflecting the overall degree of difference between the test color and the standard color;

[0088] WI stands for Whiteness Index, which measures the whiteness of an object's surface. ΔWI represents the difference in whiteness between the test sample and the standard sample, and is used to assess the degree of change in whiteness. When ΔWI is positive, the test sample is whiter than the standard sample; when ΔWI is negative, the test sample is less white than the standard sample.

[0089] The sensory quality evaluation criteria for nicotine bags are shown in Table 1.

[0090] Table 1

[0091]

[0092]

[0093] The contents of ethyl vanillin glucoside and vanillin were determined by liquid chromatography. Pretreatment: Weigh one blueberry-flavored nicotine sample packet, cut it open, place it in a 50 mL centrifuge tube, add 10-20 mL of water, shake and extract for 30 min, then filter through a membrane for analysis. Instrument: Agilent liquid chromatograph; mobile phase: acetonitrile and 0.5% formic acid aqueous solution; chromatographic column: Agilent 5HC-C18.

[0094] (2) Test Result Analysis:

[0095] 1) Color index measurement results

[0096] Table 2

[0097]

[0098]

[0099] As shown in Table 2, the blueberry-flavored nicotine pouches containing blueberry solid flavorings from Examples 1-3 (i.e., Application Examples 1-3) exhibited significantly lower ΔL and WI values ​​(0-12h) compared to the comparative examples (p < 0.05). When placed at 40℃ for 12h as set in the stability test, the differences in ΔL and WI values ​​between Application Examples 1, 2, and 3 and their corresponding comparative examples 1, 2, and 3 reached their maximum. This result indicates that the blueberry flavoring nicotine pouches prepared according to this invention exhibit negligible discoloration, while the discoloration of ordinary blueberry flavoring nicotine pouches is more pronounced. Figure 1 The images visually present the actual state of application examples 1-3 after the stability experiment.

[0100] 2) Sensory evaluation results

[0101] Table 3

[0102]

[0103] As shown in Table 3, after being placed at 40℃ for 12 hours, the blueberry-flavored nicotine bags from the application examples were significantly superior to the blueberry-flavored nicotine bags from the comparative examples in terms of appearance color, blueberry flavor intensity, persistence, and fullness. Specifically, the appearance color score of the nicotine bags from application examples 1-3 was 38 points, far exceeding the sensory scores of the nicotine bags from comparative examples 1-3, directly demonstrating their excellent color stability.

[0104] In terms of flavor indicators, the blueberry-flavored nicotine bag using Example 1 scored 18, 17, and 18 points in blueberry flavor intensity, persistence, and fullness, respectively, while the corresponding scores for the blueberry-flavored nicotine bag using Comparative Example 1 were only 12, 14, and 14 points. Ultimately, the blueberry-flavored nicotine bag using Example 1 achieved a total score of 91 points, 82% higher than the 50 points scored by the blueberry-flavored nicotine bag using Comparative Example 1.

[0105] The blueberry-flavored nicotine bag from Application Example 2 scored 17 points in blueberry flavor intensity, persistence, and fullness, respectively; while the blueberry-flavored nicotine bag from Comparative Example 2 scored only 11 points, 13 points, and 14 points in these three aspects, showing a significant difference. Overall, the blueberry-flavored nicotine bag from Application Example 2 achieved a score of 90, while the blueberry-flavored nicotine bag from Comparative Example 2 only scored 46 points.

[0106] The blueberry flavor intensity (16 points), persistence (16 points), and fullness (17 points) of the blueberry flavored nicotine bag of Application Example 3 were 7 points, 5 points, and 4 points higher than those of the blueberry flavored nicotine bag of Application Comparative Example 3 (9 points, 11 points, and 13 points), respectively, indicating a richer, longer-lasting, and fuller flavor. In terms of overall score, Application Example 3 scored 87 points, far exceeding the 39 points of Application Comparative Example 3, with a difference of nearly 100%.

[0107] The above data shows that the blueberry solid flavoring prepared by adding the present invention can not only effectively maintain the appearance and color stability of the nicotine pouch product, but also maintain excellent flavor quality. Its overall performance is far superior to that of nicotine pouches prepared with ordinary blueberry solid flavoring.

[0108] 3) Changes in the content of ethyl vanillin glucoside / vanillin in nicotine pouches

[0109] Depend on Figure 2It can be seen that the ethyl vanillin glucoside / vanillin content of the blueberry-flavored nicotine bags from Application Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 showed significant differences under different experimental durations. With the extension of the stability test time, the vanillin content in the blueberry-flavored nicotine bags from the comparative examples showed a continuous decreasing trend, dropping to approximately 90% or below after 12 hours, indicating poor component stability and susceptibility to degradation and loss. In contrast, the ethyl vanillin glucoside content in the blueberry-flavored nicotine bags from the application examples remained at a high level (above 95%) throughout the 0-12 hour experimental period, and remained stable even after a 12-hour accelerated test, demonstrating good resistance to degradation. This indicates that the blueberry solid flavor prepared by this invention has a greater advantage in stability, retaining key components for a longer period under experimental conditions, helping to maintain product flavor and quality, and performing superiorly compared to the blueberry solid flavor of the comparative examples.

[0110] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above; however, the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the inventive concept, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, including combinations of various technical features in any other suitable manner. These simple modifications and combinations should also be considered as the content disclosed in the present invention and are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
