Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a smokeable or buccal smoking material and a method for producing the same. [Background technology]

[0002] A new type of smoking article has been proposed that is heated rather than burned. Unlike conventional smoking articles, such non-combustion smoking articles are used by inhaling the aerosol generated by heating the tobacco medium without burning the tobacco medium. One type of such heated smoking article is a smoking article that uses electrical heating.

[0003] On the other hand, smoking generally involves inhaling an aerosol containing nicotine, but there are also smokeless methods of absorbing nicotine by holding a solid object containing nicotine in the mouth or chewing it.

[0004] Smokeless smoking products are products that dissolve in the mouth and are absorbed through the mucous membrane, which helps absorb nicotine in the oral mucosa. Representative examples of smokeless tobacco include nicotine patches, nicotine gum, and nicotine oral dissolving films.

[0005] Nicotine gum is chewed slowly for about an hour, with the gum placed between the teeth and cheeks, and the nicotine is absorbed through the oral mucosa. When nicotine gum is used, the excess nicotine released all at once can irritate the mouth and throat.

[0006] Nicotine patches continuously deliver a constant blood concentration of nicotine to the body, but can cause skin irritation with prolonged use.

[0007] Nicotine oral dissolving film (ODF) is a preparation that is applied to the oral cavity, such as on the tongue, on the oral mucosa, or under the tongue, and dissolves to absorb nicotine. This oral dissolving film is a sustained release preparation, and has the advantages of being able to absorb for a long period of time and being convenient to carry, but due to its small size, there may be problems with swallowing it during absorption.

[0008] However, conventional smoking articles have been provided in a form that allows smoking only in the form of either smoked smoking that generates smoke or smokeless smoking. In such cases, if a user possesses a smoky product but is unable to smoke indoors, the use of the smoking article is restricted for long periods of time, or even if smoky smoking is possible due to the user's movement, if the possessed smoking article is in the form of a smokeless smoking article, there is a limitation that only smokeless smoking is possible.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0029] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, since various modifications can be made to the embodiments, the scope of the patent application is not limited or restricted by these embodiments. It should be understood that all modifications, equivalents, or alternatives to the embodiments are included in the scope of the patent.

[0030] The terms used in the examples are merely used for the purpose of explanation and should not be construed as limiting. A singular expression includes a plural expression unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this specification, the terms "include" or "have" and the like specify the presence of the features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof described in the specification, and should be understood not to preclude the presence or additional possibility of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as commonly understood by a person of ordinary skill in the art to which the embodiments belong. Terms defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the meaning they have in the context of the relevant art, and should not be interpreted as idealized or overly formal unless expressly defined in this application.

[0032] In the description with reference to the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals are used for the same components regardless of the reference numerals, and the duplicated description thereof will be omitted. In describing the embodiments, if it is determined that a detailed description of related known technology may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the embodiments, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0033] The term "smoked" as used in the present invention means that smoke (aerosol) is generated, i.e., "smoked smoking" means smoking that generates smoke when a user smokes. For example, it means smoking that is performed by a user inserting a smoking material (smoking medium) into an aerosol generating device and inhaling the smoke generated.

[0034] The term "smokeless" as used in the present invention means that no smoke (aerosol) is generated, i.e., "smokeless smoking" means smoking that does not generate smoke when a user smokes, for example, smoking by inserting a nicotine tube into the oral cavity and absorbing nicotine through the skin in the oral cavity.

[0035] The term "granules or beads" as used herein means small, round particles of material, essentially spherical particles having a relatively larger average diameter than powders.

[0036] The term "porous" as used herein means a state in which a solid has pores (gaps) inside or on the surface.

[0037] The present invention relates to a smoking substance that can be smoked or mixed with oral use, which contains glycerin, which is contained in an amount of 10 to 40% by weight based on the total weight of the smoking substance, a binder containing methylcellulose and dextrin, and nicotine. As described above, the smoking substance of the present invention is characterized in that it can be used for smoked smoking by being inserted into an aerosol generating device to generate aerosol, and for smokeless smoking by being inserted into the oral cavity.

[0038] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the binder contains methyl cellulose and dextrin in a weight ratio of 5:5 to 7:3, preferably in a weight ratio of 5.5:4.5 to 6.5:3.5, and most preferably in a weight ratio of 6:4.

[0039] In the binder, the content of dextrin should be relatively small compared to methyl cellulose, and if the content of dextrin is excessive compared to methyl cellulose, wrinkles may form in the sheet, making processing difficult. Also, if the content of methyl cellulose is 70% by weight or more relative to 100% by weight of the binder, the hardness of the sheet may be low, and it may be difficult to chop or shred in the form of granules or beads.

[0040] The binder may be present in an amount of 30 to 70% by weight based on the total weight of the smoking material, and if the binder is present in an amount less than 30% by weight, it may not exhibit sufficient binding strength to produce a sheet, whereas if the binder is present in an amount greater than 70% by weight, the sheet may be too hard, which may affect the processability of cutting or shredding the sheet.

[0041] In addition to methylcellulose and dextrin, the binder may further include one or more binders selected from the group consisting of carboxymethylcellulose, starch, xanthan gum, gum arabic, guar gum, pectin, gelatin, agar, pullulan, mannitol, and xylitol, taking into consideration the physical properties of the smoking material to be produced, and is not limited to the above materials.

[0042] In the present invention, the glycerin may be contained in an amount of 10 to 40% by weight, more preferably 12 to 40% by weight, based on the total weight of the smoking material. If the glycerin is contained in an amount less than 12% by weight, sufficient atomization does not occur, making it difficult to smoke, and if it is contained in an amount exceeding 40% by weight, excessive atomization may occur. In addition to the glycerin, at least one of propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, and tetraethylene glycol may be further contained.

[0043] In the present invention, the nicotine may be contained in an amount of 0.1 to 8% by weight based on the total weight of the smoking material, but the nicotine content can be varied sufficiently taking into consideration the smoking taste, flavor, hitting sensation, etc. of the smoking material to be produced. The smoking material of the present invention may be substantially free of solid substances based on tobacco raw materials such as tabular tobacco, shredded tobacco, and reconstituted tobacco. In other words, the smoking material may contain only nicotine without any material derived from a tobacco plant.

[0044] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the smoking material is preferably in the form of granules, beads or a sheet. For example, it may be in the form of a sheet as shown in Fig. 1. The smoking material of the present invention is manufactured in the form of granules, beads or a sheet by processing a fluid gel containing glycerin, a binder and nicotine.

[0045] In the present invention, the method of processing the fluid gel into granules or beads is not limited. The fluid gel may be compressed into large pieces and then crushed into granules by a dry granulation method or a spray drying method, or may be prepared by an electric spraying device using an electrostatic charge method.

[0046] As another example, the fluid gel can be applied to a substrate to a thickness of 0.8 mm or more, dried to produce a base sheet (left side of Figure 2), and the base sheet itself can be cut or chopped into a certain size to produce a sheet (right side of Figure 2).

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, the granules or beads may have an average diameter of 0.5 mm or more. Preferably, the granules or beads may have an average diameter of 1 mm or more, and more preferably, the granules or beads have an average diameter of 1 mm to 3 mm. If the granules or beads are less than 0.5 mm, the powder may be inhaled into the nasal or oral cavity, unlike the smoking material of the present invention, which can be used in a smokeless or smoked form.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, the smoking material may be packaged in a pouch, as shown in the left side of Fig. 3. The smoking material in the form of granules, beads or sheets may be provided to a user in a packaged form, surrounded by a pouch material, and the pouch may include a porous material.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, the pouch may have a porosity of 30 to 70%. The porosity refers to the volume ratio between the matrix constituting the porous material and the pores present in the matrix. If the porosity is less than 30%, the porosity may be insufficient and nicotine may not be easily transferred from the granules or beads inside the pouch, and if it exceeds 70%, the granules or beads may leak out.

[0050] In addition, the pores formed in the pouch preferably have an average diameter of 30 μm or more, which may be changed depending on the size of the granules or beads inside the pouch, but more preferably have a pore diameter of 30 μm to 100 μm. If the average pore diameter is less than 30 μm, the porosity may be insufficient and nicotine may not easily migrate from the granules or beads inside the pouch, and if it exceeds 100 μm, the physical properties of the granules or beads may be affected.

[0051] The pouch is also characterized in that it is made of a material that is heat-resistant and water-resistant, including a material that is heat-resistant so that the pouch will not be damaged when the smoking material is inserted into the heating device, and a material that is water-resistant so that the pouch will not be damaged by saliva in the mouth or weak chewing action when inserted into the mouth.

[0052] The pouch may be made of any of materials including porous paper, nonwoven fabric, or polymeric materials. The pouch completely encases the smoking material, and the edges may be treated and substantially sealed by heat bonding, pressure bonding, ultrasonic bonding, or the like, as necessary, and there is no limitation on the bonding method.

[0053] The basis weight of the porous material forming the pouch is 10 g / m 2 More preferably, it is 10 g / m or more. 2 ~50g / m 2 The pouch may have a basis weight of 10 g / m. 2 If it is less than 50 g / m, the strength of the pouch may decrease. 2 Above this thickness, the thickness of the pouch may affect the smooth transfer of smoking material inside the pouch.

[0054] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the smoking article may be a rectangular parallelepiped shape having a height of about 1 mm to 10 mm, a square cross section, and horizontal and vertical lengths of 8 to 30 mm. If the height is less than 1 mm, there is a risk of it being swallowed due to its thin thickness, and if it exceeds 10 mm, it may be inconvenient to position it in the oral cavity. Also, if the horizontal and vertical lengths are less than 8 mm, there is a risk of it being swallowed due to its small size, and if they exceed 30 mm, it may be inconvenient to position it in the oral cavity. The height and horizontal and vertical lengths may include the thickness of the pouch itself.

[0055] However, this is by way of example only, the cross section of the smoking article may have any free form such as a rectangle, a circle, a star, a heart, or any other polygonal shape.

[0056] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the smoking material may have a weight of 200 to 500 mg, and more preferably, a weight range of 300 to 350 mg allows for the generation of 14 puffs or more of aerosol when smoking with smoke.

[0057] As described above, the smoking material can be inserted into an aerosol generating device and used for "smokeless smoking," or the smoking material itself can be inserted into the oral cavity and used for "smokeless smoking," allowing users to select the smoking method according to their needs.

[0058] The aerosol generating device can be any device that uses an external heating system without any restrictions, and the device can include a smoking material storage section that provides a space in which smoking material can be stored, and a heating section.

[0059] An example of the shape of the aerosol generating device is shown in FIG. 4, but it is clear that there is no limitation as long as it is a heated aerosol generating device having a predetermined space into which smoking material can be inserted.

[0060] As used herein, "aerosol generating device" refers to a device that uses smoking material to generate an aerosol that can be inhaled directly into a user's lungs through the user's mouth.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 4, the device may further include a mouthpiece and an upper cover coupled to the mouthpiece.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, the outer periphery of the upper cover may be formed with perforations. The outer perforations are connected to an airflow path that is connected to a mouthpiece from an airflow path tube through a pouch medium as shown in Fig. 5, and the outer perforations can improve the heat of mainstream smoke and increase the amount of atomization when smoking.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 4, the device may further include an airflow path tube connected to the smoking material storage section, a battery for providing power to the device, and an induction coil formed at a position spaced apart from the smoking material storage section.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present invention, the smoking material receiving portion and the induction coil may be spaced apart by 1.5 to 3.5 mm. If the induction coil is located less than 1.5 mm away from the smoking material receiving portion, the pouch may overheat due to the proximity of the induction coil to the smoking material, and if the induction coil is located more than 3.5 mm away, heat transfer may not be smooth.

[0065] The device may further include additional components necessary for the operation of the device other than the above-mentioned components, such as a display for checking the device status, a control unit for providing power through control of the battery, and an outer case and a bottom cover for housing components such as the smoking material receiving unit, the battery, and the airflow path tube.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present invention, the smokeless smoking is performed by inserting a smoking material into the oral cavity, more specifically, by placing the smoking material between the lips and gums, and then nicotine contained in the smoking material is absorbed through the oral skin (mucosa). After the nicotine absorption is completed, the smoking material can be expelled from the oral cavity.

[0067] In one embodiment of the present invention, the smoking material may be packaged in a pouch and then wrapped in a metal material. When the pouch is wrapped in a metal material, the metal material itself is heated (induction heating) to allow smoking without the need for an additional heating material such as a susceptor in the aerosol generating device. If a smokeless smoking is to be performed on the smoking material wrapped in a metal material, the smoking material packaged in the pouch can be used after removing the metal material.

[0068] The metal material may include one or more metals selected from the group consisting of aluminum (Al), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu), stainless steel (SUS) and nickel (Ni), and may be an alloy material including two or more metal materials. Preferably, the metal material may include an aluminum material.

[0069] The metal material is characterized by having a thin film form, and may be provided in a form coated on a pouch, if necessary.

[0070] As another embodiment of the present invention, when smoking is performed using smoking material packaged only in a pouch without metal wrapping, an aerosol generating device including a susceptor can be used to heat the smoking material through the susceptor to transfer smoking.

[0071] The present invention also provides a method for producing a smokable or buccal smoking material, comprising the steps of: A step (S1) of adding glycerin and nicotine to a binder including methylcellulose and dextrin and mixing them to prepare a fluid gel; (S2) processing the flowable gel to produce granules, beads, or sheets; and The method includes a step (S3) of packaging the sheet in a pouch.

[0072] As another embodiment of the present invention, the manufacturing method of the present invention will be described in more detail for each step. The smoking material manufactured by the manufacturing method is substantially the same as the smoking material described above, and some of the contents described as the explanation of the manufacturing method are included in the explanation of the smoking material, so they should be understood to be omitted without being duplicated.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present invention, step S1 of the present invention is a step of preparing a fluid gel by adding glycerin and nicotine to a binder including methylcellulose and dextrin and mixing them. In order to facilitate mixing of the components of step S1 and to obtain a fluid gel, a suitable solvent may be further added. The suitable solvent may be water or ethanol. The solvent may evaporate during the drying process of the fluid gel and may not be included in the final smoking material.

[0074] In one embodiment of the present invention, step S2 of the present invention means a step of processing the fluid gel prepared in step S1 to prepare a sheet of granules or beads. In step S2, the fluid gel may be processed into granules or beads by a granulation method as described above, and then solidified or arranged in a sheet form to prepare a sheet, or the fluid gel may be applied to a substrate, dried, and then shredded or chopped to prepare a sheet itself.

[0075] In one embodiment of the present invention, step S3 of the present invention is a step of packaging the produced sheet in a pouch. The packaging method of the sheet is not limited as long as it is a packaging method generally used in the manufacturing process of smoking articles or smoking materials.

[0076] In another embodiment of the present invention, the smoking material of the present invention may further contain additional ingredients, such as flavoring substances and other additives, that are typically contained in smoking products.

[0077] The flavoring substance can impart flavor and / or aroma characteristics or enhance the flavor and taste, and can be applied without limitation as long as it is applicable to smoking articles. For example, the flavoring substance can include at least one selected from the group consisting of organic acids such as lactic acid, citric acid, malic acid, etc., licorice, sucrose, fructose syrup, isosweet, cocoa, lavender, cinnamon, cardamom, celery, fenugreek, cascarilla, sandalwood, bergamot, geranium, honey essence, rose oil, vanilla, lemon oil, orange oil, mint oil, cinnamon, caraway, cognac, jasmine, chamomile, menthol, cinnamon, ylang-ylang, salvia, spearmint, ginger, coriander, clove extract (or clove substance), and coffee, but is not limited thereto.

[0078] The following examples are described in more detail. However, since various modifications can be made to the examples, the scope of the patent application is not limited or restricted by these examples. It should be understood that all modifications, equivalents, or alternatives to the examples are included in the scope of the patent.

[0079] 1. Manufacturing of smoking substances Smoking materials were prepared according to the composition shown in Table 1 below.

[0080] [Table 1]

[0081] The methylcellulose, dextrin, glycerin, nicotine, alcohol and water were mixed to prepare a fluid gel. The prepared gel was applied to a substrate to prepare a sheet, and the sheet was cut to prepare granules. The prepared granules were wrapped in a nonwoven pouch to complete the smoking material. After completion, the pouch was wrapped again in an aluminum film.

[0082] 2. Heating of smoking materials The smoking material thus prepared was combined with the device shown in Figure 3, and then preheated for 30 seconds with a current of 2300mAh, then heated for 30 seconds with a current of 1500mAh, and then heated for 220 seconds with a current of 1200mAh. The operating conditions of the device are as shown in Table 2 below (separation distance: distance between the smoking material and the induction coil).

[0083] [Table 2]

[0084] 3. Analysis of smoking smoke components The characteristics of the smoke components transferred by heating the smoking material (pouch medium) of the present invention were confirmed, and the results were compared with those of a conventional heat-not-burn cigarette (P2), as shown in Table 3 below.

[0085] [Table 3] *Smoking conditions: Pouch medium (55ml, 2sec, 30sec, 8puff), P2 (55ml, 3sec, 30sec, 9puff)

[0086] As a result, it was confirmed that the amount of moisture transferred was lower and the amount of glycerin transferred was about two times higher in the smoking material of the present invention than in P2. Furthermore, the amount of nicotine transferred was at a similar level to P2.

[0087] Furthermore, it was confirmed that the amount of atomization was greater than that of P2, the atomization duration was good, and that, despite being a product without a filter, it was almost non-irritating. In addition, a faint caramel scent was confirmed due to the influence of dextrin.

[0088] The results of comparing the mainstream smoke temperature of P2 and the smoking material of the present invention are shown in Figure 6. As can be seen from Figure 6, the mainstream smoke temperature was confirmed to be about 25°C lower on average than P2 (65°C) at the maximum temperature, and it was confirmed that the perforations formed in the upper cover can effectively lower the mainstream smoke temperature (based on the average temperature of four repeated runs).

[0089] As described above, although the embodiments have been described with limited drawings, those having ordinary skill in the art may apply various technical modifications and variations based on the above. For example, the described techniques may be performed in a different order from that described, and / or the components of the described systems, structures, devices, circuits, etc. may be combined or combined in a different manner from that described, or may be replaced or substituted by other components or equivalents to achieve suitable results.

[0090] Therefore, other embodiments, examples, and equivalents to the claims are also within the scope of the following claims. [Explanation of symbols]
