Abstract

The invention is a tobacco composition containing (A) a tobacco material and (B) a saturated fatty acid additive, wherein: the component (B) is selected from the group consisting of saturated fatty acids that have a molar mass of 200 to 350 g/mol, esters of such saturated fatty acids, and combinations thereof; and the tobacco composition contains the component (B) at 0.01 to 3 mass % per dry weight in the composition.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A tobacco composition comprising:
 (A) a tobacco material; and   (B) a saturated fatty acid additive,   wherein: the component (B) is selected from the group consisting of saturated fatty acids having a molar mass of 200 to 350 g/mol, esters of such saturated fatty acids, and combinations thereof; and   the tobacco composition contains the component (B) at 0.01 to 3 mass % per dry weight in the composition.   
     
     
         2 . The composition according to  claim 1 , wherein, in the component (B), the saturated fatty acids are a single substance and the esters of the saturated fatty acids are a single sub stance. 
     
     
         3 . The composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the saturated fatty acids and the esters of the component (B) have a fatty acid moiety with 12 to 20 carbon atoms. 
     
     
         4 . The composition according to  claim 1 , further comprising a liquid sugar at 1 to 10 mass % per dry weight in the composition. 
     
     
         5 . The composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the component (A) contains a material derived from an oriental species at 10 mass % or less. 
     
     
         6 . The composition according to  claim 1 , further comprising a natural plant flavoring agent at 0.5 to 3 mass % per dry weight in the composition. 
     
     
         7 . The composition according to  claim 1 , comprising nicotine at 2 mass % or more per dry weight in the composition. 
     
     
         8 . The composition according to  claim 1 , comprising nicotine at 1.5 mass % or less per dry weight in the composition. 
     
     
         9 . The composition according to  claim 1 , further comprising an aerosol-source material at 12 mass % or less per dry weight in the composition. 
     
     
         10 . A sheet formed from the tobacco composition according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         11 . A method of manufacturing the tobacco composition according to  claim 1 , the method comprising preparing a slurry by mixing the component (A), the component (B), which is partially or entirely powder, and a medium such that the powder is maintained in a powder state. 
     
     
         12 . The manufacturing method according to  claim 11 , further comprising adjusting a viscosity of the slurry to 100,000 to 200,000 (mPa·s). 
     
     
         13 . The composition according to  claim 2 , wherein the saturated fatty acids and the esters of the component (B) have a fatty acid moiety with 12 to 20 carbon atoms. 
     
     
         14 . The composition according to  claim 2 , further comprising a liquid sugar at 1 to 10 mass % per dry weight in the composition. 
     
     
         15 . The composition according to  claim 3 , further comprising a liquid sugar at 1 to 10 mass % per dry weight in the composition. 
     
     
         16 . The composition according to  claim 2 , wherein the component (A) contains a material derived from an oriental species at 10 mass % or less. 
     
     
         17 . The composition according to  claim 3 , wherein the component (A) contains a material derived from an oriental species at 10 mass % or less. 
     
     
         18 . The composition according to  claim 4 , wherein the component (A) contains a material derived from an oriental species at 10 mass % or less. 
     
     
         19 . The composition according to  claim 2 , further comprising a natural plant flavoring agent at 0.5 to 3 mass % per dry weight in the composition. 
     
     
         20 . The composition according to  claim 3 , further comprising a natural plant flavoring agent at 0.5 to 3 mass % per dry weight in the composition.
