[Solution] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a cooling block for aerosol products is provided, comprising: one or more cooling agents A selected from the group consisting of WS-3, WS-5, WS-23 and menthyl lactate; one or more cooling agents B selected from the group consisting of isopulegol, 4-terpineol, menthone and menthyl acetate; and one or more cooling agents C selected from the group consisting of cis-3-hexenol, hexyl alcohol, 1,4-cineole and eucalyptol.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cooling block containing cooling agents and an aerosol generating article containing the same.

Background Art

[0002] Some cooling agents have been used alone in shaving foam, toothpaste, gargle, food, etc. However, there has been no case where a cooling block to which a flavor design technology of a cooling agent is applied is used as a menthol substitute in an aerosol generating article or the like.

[0003] On the other hand, in current aerosol generating articles, menthol occupies a high proportion compared to other flavoring substances. Only by imparting the main characteristics of menthol and the differentiation and diversity from existing menthol can competitiveness be ensured compared with existing menthol products. It is regarded as an outstanding issue to secure menthol substitute development and product application technologies so as to maintain the competitiveness of existing products through the realization of menthol-like characteristics and continuously provide benefits to consumers.

[0004] On the other hand, the sensory properties of menthol can be classified into main properties and auxiliary properties. The main properties correspond to cooling (cool feeling, body), fresh (non-dry refreshing feeling), and minty (mint fragrance), and the auxiliary properties include herbal, green, and earthy.

[0005] In order to realize such complex sensory properties of menthol, it can be considered that the use of some specific cooling agents alone is extremely limited, and menthol-like characteristics can be realized only through a blending technology that reflects the characteristics of various cooling agents. Therefore, it can be considered that the development of a recipe for this is essential.

[Effects of the Invention]

[0012] A cooling block containing a specific combination of cooling agents according to one embodiment of the present invention can achieve the main sensory characteristics of menthol products such as cooling, freshness, and mintiness, complementing taste acceptability and satisfaction. It also has the effect of best achieving a menthol sensation in products under menthol restrictions by substituting for and complementing menthol.

[0013] The effects of the present invention are not limited to those described above, but should be understood to include all effects that can be inferred from the detailed description of the present invention or the configuration of the invention as described in the claims. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0014] [Figure 1] This figure shows a schematic configuration of a combustion-type aerosol article, including a cooling block according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] This figure shows a schematic configuration of a non-combustible (heated) aerosol product, including a cooling block according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0015] The embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings. However, since various modifications can be made to the embodiments, the scope of the patent application will not be limited or restricted by these embodiments. All modifications, equivalents, or substitutes to the embodiments should be understood to be included within the scope of the patent.

[0016] The terms used in the examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be interpreted as limiting. Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this specification, terms such as “includes” or “having” are intended to specify the existence of features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof described in the specification, and should not be understood as preemptively excluding the existence or possibility of adding one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0017] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as those generally understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art to which the examples belong. Terms defined in commonly used dictionaries, for example, should be interpreted as having the meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art, and not as ideal or overly formal unless explicitly defined in this application.

[0018] Furthermore, when explaining with reference to the attached drawings, the same reference numerals will be used for identical components, regardless of the reference numerals in the drawings, and redundant explanations will be omitted. When explaining embodiments, if it is determined that a specific explanation of related prior art may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the embodiment, such detailed explanation will be omitted.

[0019] Furthermore, when describing the components of the embodiments, terms such as first, second, A, B, (a), (b), etc. can be used. These terms are for distinguishing the components from other components, and the essence, order or sequence of the corresponding components are not limited by these terms.

[0020] Components included in any of the embodiments and components having common functions are described using the same names in other embodiments. Unless otherwise stated, the descriptions in any of the embodiments are applicable to other embodiments, and specific descriptions within the overlapping scope are omitted.

[0021] Throughout the specification, "aerosol generating article" can be meant to refer to anything that can generate an aerosol, and is used as a concept that includes not only combustion-type aerosol generating articles such as tobacco (cigarettes), cigars, etc., but also non-heated aerosol generating articles. An aerosol generating article can contain an aerosol generating substance or an aerosol forming substrate. Further, an aerosol generating article can contain a solid substance (tobacco medium) based on tobacco raw materials such as sheet tobacco, cut tobacco, reconstituted tobacco, etc. An aerosol generating substance can contain volatile compounds.

[0022] Also, throughout the specification, "upstream" or "upstream direction" means the direction away from the mouth of a user smoking the aerosol generating article, and "downstream" or "downstream direction" means the direction approaching the mouth of a user smoking the aerosol generating article. For example, in the combustion-type aerosol generating article 100 shown in FIG. 1, the tobacco medium portion 120 is located upstream or in the upstream direction of the filter portion 110.

[0023] Furthermore, in this specification, even if an example is given by selecting from the cases of non-combustion (heating type) cigarettes used together with an aerosol generating device (not shown) such as a combustion-type cigarette or an e-cigarette device of the aerosol generating article 100, it is not limited to this, and all of the above concepts can be included.

[0024] In addition, in this specification, the cooling block can mean a fragrance or coolant composition composed of a specific combination of cooling agents developed in this application in order to impart the cooling sensation, refreshing feeling, minty feeling, etc., which are the characteristics of menthol.

[0025] According to one embodiment of the present invention, provided is a cooling block for an aerosol-generating article, which includes one or more cooling agents A selected from the group consisting of WS-3, WS-5, WS-23, and menthyl lactate, one or more cooling agents B selected from the group consisting of isopulegol, 4-terpineol, mentone, and menthyl acetate, and one or more cooling agents C selected from the group consisting of cis-3-hexenol, hexyl alcohol, 1,4-cineole, and eucalyptol.

[0026] The cooling agent A contained in the cooling block is a base-type cooling agent with relatively low volatility, which plays a role in imparting body and persistence to the fragrance. Specific types of the cooling agent A include WS-3 (N-ethyl-5-methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)cyclohexanecarboxamide), WS-5 (N-(ethoxycarbonylmethyl)-p-menthane-3-carboxamide), WS-23 (N,2,3-trimethyl-2-isopropyl butanamide), menthyl lactate, etc., and combinations thereof can also be included as needed.

[0027] WS-3 has good cooling duration, and WS-5 has a similar cooling effect to WS-3, although it may produce off-flavors such as saltiness. Menthyl lactate can provide a certain degree of partial cooling and maintain that cooling effect, and WS-23 can also provide a cooling sensation, but the degree of cooling may be inferior to that of menthyl lactate, and menthyl lactate can provide a cleaner or milder feeling compared to WS-23.

[0028] Furthermore, when menthyl lactate is used in combination with WS-3, it can neutralize the astringency of WS-3. Considering all factors, it can be said that it is preferable to use a mixture of WS-3 and menthyl lactate in order to exhibit a cooling sensation, lasting effect, refreshing feeling, and mildness.

[0029] On the other hand, the content of the low-volatility base-type cooling agent A contained in the cooling block according to one embodiment of the present invention can be 10% to 60% by weight, preferably 15% to 55% by weight, and more preferably 20% to 50% by weight.

[0030] If the content of Cooling Agent A exceeds the above upper limit, the overall harmony of the fragrance (cooling sensation, minty character, freshness, and herbal harmony) may be disrupted, resulting in a heavier fragrance and potentially suppressing the expression of the middle-type Cooling Agent B and top-type Cooling Agent C, leading to negative consequences. If the content is below the above lower limit, the content of Cooling Agent A is minute, resulting in a low cooling effect and a decrease in overall harmony.

[0031] Furthermore, the content of WS-3 in the cooling agent A can be 5% to 20% by weight, preferably 10% to 15% by weight, relative to the total weight of the cooling block. In addition, the content of menthyl lactate can be 5% to 40% by weight, more preferably 30% to 40% by weight.

[0032] When the content of WS-3 and menthyl lactate falls within the preferred range described above, the overall aspects such as cooling sensation, duration, refreshing feeling, and mildness are best, as mentioned above. The differences in effect due to these ranges are clearly evident in the examples and comparative examples described in detail later.

[0033] The cooling agent B contained in the cooling block is a moderately volatile, medium-type cooling agent that enhances the character of the fragrance. Specific examples of cooling agent B include isopulegol, 4-terpineol, menthone, and menthyl acetate, and combinations thereof may be included as needed.

[0034] Of the types of cooling agent B mentioned above, menthone can impart a minty sensation, and menthyl acetate plays a role in harmoniously linking the base, middle, and top notes so that the individual characteristics of the aforementioned base-type cooling agent A and the top-type cooling agent C described later do not stand out too much. Furthermore, isopulegol provides an earthy sensation, and 4-terpineol can contribute to a harsh sensation. However, isopulegol is an expensive ingredient, and the rough sensation of 4-terpineol can give smokers a negative impression. Considering the objective of the present invention, which is to achieve properties most similar to menthol, the combination of menthone and menthyl acetate is considered preferable.

[0035] On the other hand, the content of the moderately volatile, medium-type cooling agent B contained in the cooling block according to one embodiment of the present invention can be 5% to 50% by weight, preferably 10% to 45% by weight, and more preferably 15% to 40% by weight.

[0036] If the content of Cooling Agent B exceeds the above upper limit, it may inhibit the linkage with Base Cooling Agent A and Top Cooling Agent C, reducing the overall harmony of the fragrance and limiting the expression of the unique fragrance characteristics of Top Cooling Agent C. If it is below the above lower limit, the content of Cooling Agent B is negligible, resulting in a low minty character-granting effect and a reduction in overall harmony.

[0037] Furthermore, the menthone content in the cooling agent B can be 10% to 30% by weight, preferably 15% to 25% by weight, relative to the total weight of the cooling block. The menthyl acetate content can be 5% to 20% by weight, more preferably 2% to 8% by weight.

[0038] When the content of menthone and menthyl acetate falls within the above preferred range, as can be confirmed through the comparison of Examples 1-2 and Comparative Example 2 described later, it is found to be good in terms of aroma intensity and harmonious flavor, and furthermore, it imparts a minty feeling like menthol, and the characteristics of top, middle, and base type cooling agents are combined to effectively exhibit harmony.

[0039] The cooling agent C contained in the cooling block exhibits a high degree of volatility, which is responsible for the intensity, unique characteristics, and diffusivity of the fragrance. Specific types of the cooling agent C include cis-3-hexenol, hexyl alcohol, 1,4-cineole, and eucalyptol, and combinations thereof may be included as needed.

[0040] Of the types of cooling agent C, cis-3-hexenol can impart a grassy, ​​green note, while hexyl alcohol can impart an oily feel in addition to the grassy note. Eucalyptol enhances the minty properties and cooling effect, imparting natural, herbal, and fresh notes. 1,4-cineole exhibits herbal, green, fresh, and light fragrance characteristics, but has the disadvantage of being less harmonious than eucalyptol. Therefore, in this respect, it is preferable to use eucalyptol as the cooling agent C.

[0041] On the other hand, the content of the highly volatile top-type cooling agent C contained in the cooling block according to one embodiment of the present invention can be greater than 0% by weight and 40% by weight or less, preferably 0.5% to 10% by weight, or 0.5% to 5% by weight.

[0042] If the content of Cooling Agent C exceeds the above upper limit, the realization of the fragrance's inherent characteristics becomes artificial rather than natural, resulting in an unpleasant fragrance that clashes with the harmony of the middle-type Cooling Agent B. On the other hand, if Cooling Agent C is not included, the fragrance's inherent characteristics are not conveyed, the fragrance's completeness may be inferior, and the overall fresh and light aspects may be lost.

[0043] These results can also be confirmed through a sensory evaluation comparison between Examples 1 and 2, described later, and Comparative Example 3, which does not contain eucalyptol. This shows that cooling agent C, despite being present in only small amounts in the cooling block, has a significant impact on menthol coolness, enhanced aroma intensity, and a clean aftertaste.

[0044] On the other hand, the cooling block for aerosol products according to one embodiment of the present invention may further contain a solvent for mixing the agents, in addition to the aforementioned cooling agent A, cooling agent B, and cooling agent C. In this case, the solvent used may include one or more selected from the group consisting of alcohol, propylene glycol, and glycerol, and is preferably alcohol.

[0045] In this case, the solvent content in the cooling block can be about 50% by weight or less of the total weight of the cooling block, and preferably about 15% to 30% by weight.

[0046] In this way, by adjusting the amount of solvent contained within the cooling block, the harmonious flavors of cooling agents A, B, and C can be maintained, and their role as menthol substitutes can be preserved, while only the aroma intensity can be adjusted.

[0047] On the other hand, according to another embodiment of the present invention, a method for producing a cooling block for aerosol products can be provided, comprising the steps of: step S1 of preparing raw materials for cooling agent A, cooling agent B, and cooling agent C; and step S2 of mixing cooling agent A, cooling agent B, and cooling agent C in a solvent, wherein cooling agent A is one or more selected from the group consisting of WS-3, WS-5, WS-23, and menthyl lactate; cooling agent B is one or more selected from the group consisting of isopulegol, 4-terpineol, menthone, and menthyl acetate; and cooling agent C is one or more selected from the group consisting of cis-3-hexenol, hexyl alcohol, 1,4-cineole, and eucalyptol.

[0048] In this case, the solvent that can be used is substantially the same as the type of solvent mentioned above, and is preferably alcohol.

[0049] A cooling block according to one embodiment of the present invention can be used for aerosol products, and the aerosol products may be smoking articles including a tobacco medium, a filter, and a wrapper.

[0050] In this case, the cooling block can be included in one or more parts of the aerosol product, such as the tobacco medium, filter, and wrapper. It can be sprayed directly onto the tobacco medium, filter, or wrapper itself for flavoring (e.g., TJNS; Transfer Jet Nozzle System), or it can be used in the form of a capsule containing the cooling block, or by being included in the filter or other parts.

[0051] For example, when adding a cooling block to the tobacco medium in the tobacco medium portion, the amount of cooling block to be added can be 50g to 250g, preferably 100g to 105g, per 100kg of tobacco medium (shredded tobacco). If the amount of cooling block is greater or less than the above range, the cooling effect intended by the present invention may be reduced.

[0052] Furthermore, if the filter portion contained in the aerosol product is divided into two or more segments, and can be fractionated into a first filter portion, a second filter portion, etc., and regardless of their position in which they are arranged, if one or more of the two or more segments contain a cooling block according to one embodiment of the present invention or a capsule containing the same, then this can be included within the scope of the present invention. Moreover, the shape of such a capsule can be spherical or cylindrical, etc., and is not limited to these.

[0053] Furthermore, the tobacco medium portion typically contains tobacco substances including nicotine, such as tobacco leaves, and may further contain excipients such as binders and other additives. For example, the tobacco medium contained in the tobacco medium portion of the present invention can be manufactured in the form of granules containing tobacco substances and excipients.

[0054] In the present invention, the tobacco substance is a substance constituting an aerosol-forming substrate, and may be tobacco leaf fragments, tobacco stems, tobacco dust generated during tobacco processing, and / or strips of tobacco leaf fragments. The tobacco leaf may be at least one selected from yellow, Burley, Orient, cigar leaf, and toast, but is not limited to these.

[0055] On the other hand, as shown in Figure 1 (combustion-type aerosol product), a wrapper according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a wrapper for each component of the aerosol product, and can be divided into a tobacco medium wrapper 120a that encloses the tobacco medium portion, a filter wrapper (filter wrapping paper) 110a that encloses the filter, and so on. In addition, as mentioned above, if the filter portion is divided into multiple segments, a wrapper can be included to enclose each segment. Furthermore, in order to fix the connection between the tobacco medium portion and the filter portion, a chipping wrapper 130 that encloses a part of the tobacco medium portion and the filter portion may be included, and in order to maintain the overall shape of the aerosol product, an outer wrapper located on the outermost edge of the aerosol product may be included that encloses the tobacco medium portion, the filter portion, etc.

[0056] The chipping wrapper, which connects the tobacco medium and the filter, can have one or more perforations selectively formed along its circumference to allow external air to flow in or internal gas to flow out. This has the effect of achieving an air dilution ratio for the cigarette and adjusting the amount of mainstream smoke components transferred.

[0057] On the other hand, a cooling block according to one embodiment of the present invention can also be included in a non-combustion type heated aerosol product, as shown in Figure 2, and the specific parts included can be considered to be substantially similar to those in Figure 1, such as the tobacco medium part, filter part, and wrapper.

[0058] The configuration of the present invention and its effects will be described in more detail below through examples and comparative examples. However, these examples are provided to illustrate the present invention more specifically, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0059] [Examples] (1) Manufacturing example: Manufacturing of a cooling block [Example 1] To produce a cooling block according to one embodiment of the present invention, powdered WS-3 and menthyl lactate, and liquid menthone, menthyl acetate, and eucalyptol were prepared as fragrance raw materials. The prepared WS-3, menthyl lactate, menthone, menthyl acetate, and eucalyptol raw materials were mixed and stirred for a certain period of time so that they would dissolve sufficiently in alcohol, which was used as a solvent.

[0060] At this time, the content of the added raw materials and alcohol was adjusted as shown in Table 1 below.

[0061] [Example 2] A cooling block was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the cooling agent content was adjusted so that the WS-3 content was 25% by weight and the menthone content was 10% by weight, and then dissolved in alcohol.

[0062] [Comparative Example 1] A cooling block was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that WS-23 was dissolved in alcohol instead of WS-3. In this case, the amount of WS-23 added was 15% by weight relative to the total weight of the manufactured cooling block.

[0063] [Comparative Example 2] A cooling block was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that 4-terpineol was dissolved in alcohol instead of menthone. In this case, the content of the added 4-terpineol was 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the prepared cooling block.

[0064] [Comparative Example 3] A cooling block was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that 1,4-cineole was dissolved in alcohol instead of eucalyptol. In this case, the added 1,4-cineole was added in a manner that was 2% by weight of the total weight of the prepared cooling block.

[0065] The types and contents of the cooling agents contained in the cooling blocks produced in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-3 are summarized in Table 1 below.

[0066] [Table 1]

[0067] (2) Test example 1: Sensory evaluation of the manufactured cooling block Sixteen members of the KT&G R&D in-house panel inhaled the aerosol products containing the cooling blocks from Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-3, which had been manufactured previously. They then evaluated each product on a scale of 9 points, considering factors such as flavor intensity, menthol coolness, smoothness of throat hit, aroma intensity, harmonious flavor, clean aftertaste, and overall satisfaction. The average values ​​for the evaluation results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0068] [Table 2]

[0069] Referring to the results in Table 2 above, it can be seen that the evaluation results of Examples 1 and 2, which contain WS-3, menthyl lactate, menthone, menthyl acetate, and eucalyptol, show better results in terms of flavor intensity, menthol coolness, aroma intensity, harmonious flavor, clean aftertaste, and overall satisfaction compared to Comparative Examples 1 to 3, which lack WS-3, menthone, and eucalyptol, respectively.

[0070] More specifically, in Comparative Example 1, which lacks WS-3, it can be confirmed that the flavor intensity and the degree of refreshing aftertaste are inferior among various items. In Comparative Example 2, which lacks menthone, it is found to be inferior in terms of aroma intensity and harmonious flavor. Furthermore, in Comparative Example 3, which lacks eucalyptol, it can be seen that it is rated lower than the example in terms of menthol coolness, aroma intensity, harmonious flavor, and refreshing aftertaste.

[0071] In other words, this allows us to understand that the overall satisfaction levels of participants in Examples 1 and 2 are superior to those of smokers compared to Comparative Examples 1-3.

[0072] On the other hand, when comparing Examples 1 and 2, in which the contents of WS-3 and menthone were adjusted in some ways, Example 2, which contained an excessive amount of WS-3 or a small amount of menthone, showed slight differences compared to Example 1 in terms of menthol coolness, smoothness of throat feel, aroma intensity, harmonious flavor, and clean aftertaste, and also showed slightly lower overall satisfaction.

[0073] (3) Test Example 2: Sensory Evaluation Comparison with Current Tobacco Products [Comparison of the aerosol product containing the cooling block in Example 1 with the current ESSE CHANGE 1mg product] The cooling block manufactured in Example 1 above was sprayed directly onto the shredded tobacco portion during the tobacco manufacturing process and applied to the aerosol product.

[0074] Subsequently, 13 members of the KT&G R&D in-house panel inhaled both the current ESSE CHANGE 1mg (a prototype product in which menthol was partially mixed into the secondary flavoring agent when making ESSE CHANGE 1mg) and the aerosol product containing the cooling block described in Example 1 above. They then evaluated the flavor intensity, menthol coolness, throat feel, aroma intensity, harmonious taste, clean aftertaste, and satisfaction on a scale of 9 points. The average values ​​for the evaluation results are shown in Table 3 below.

[0075] [Table 3]

[0076] [Comparison of the aerosol product containing the cooling block in Example 1 with ESSE CHANGE 1 mg in general] Sixteen members of the KT&G R&D in-house panel inhaled ESSE CHANGE 1mg (a prototype in which menthol and cooling block were applied as secondary flavorings) and the aerosol product containing the cooling block described in Example 1 above. The evaluation was then conducted using the same method as described above. The average values ​​for the evaluation results are shown in Table 4 below.

[0077] [Table 4]

[0078] [Comparison of the aerosol product containing the cooling block from Example 1 with the current RAISON FRENCH BLACK] Sixteen members of the KT&G R&D in-house panel inhaled smoke from both the current RAISON FRENCH BLACK product and the aerosol product containing the cooling block from Example 1 described above, and then evaluated them identically as described above. The average values ​​for the evaluation results are shown in Table 5 below.

[0079] [Table 5]

[0080] The results of the above Test Example 2 show that the aerosol product containing the cooling block according to one embodiment of the present invention tends to have a higher menthol cooling sensation, a cleaner aftertaste, and overall satisfaction compared to aerosol products such as ESSE CHANGE 1mg (current), ESSE CHANGE 1mg (general), and RAISON FRENCH BLACK. This indicates that the cooling block complements the taste acceptance and satisfaction of existing menthol products, or can effectively achieve the main sensory characteristics.

[0081] As described above, although the embodiments are illustrated with limited drawings, a person with ordinary skill in the relevant art can apply various technical modifications and variations based on the above. For example, the described techniques may be performed in a different order than described, and / or the components of the described systems, structures, devices, circuits, etc. may be combined or assembled in a different manner than described, or substituted or replaced by other components or equivalents, and still the appropriate results may be achieved.

[0082] Therefore, other embodiments, other examples, and claims equivalent to those described below also fall within the scope of the claims. [Explanation of symbols]
