Flavoring-loaded component for tobacco product and production method for same

Abstract

According to the present invention, a flavoring-loaded component for a tobacco product includes a component for a tobacco product and a flavoring composition that is loaded on the component and includes a flavoring and an emulsifier that has an HLB of 1-7.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A flavorant-carrying constituent member of a tobacco product, comprising:
 a constituent member of a tobacco product; and   a flavorant composition carried on the constituent member, and containing an emulsifier and a flavorant, the emulsifier having an HLB in a range of 1 to 7.   
     
     
         2 . The flavorant-carrying constituent member according to  claim 1 , wherein a ratio M1/M2 between a mass M1 of the emulsifier and a mass M2 of the flavorant is in a range 0.001 to 20.0. 
     
     
         3 . The flavorant-carrying constituent member according to  claim 1 , wherein the flavorant composition further contains a solvent. 
     
     
         4 . The flavorant-carrying constituent member according to  claim 3 , wherein the solvent includes a monohydric alcohol. 
     
     
         5 . The flavorant-carrying constituent member according to  claim 1 , wherein the emulsifier has an HLB in a range of 2 to 5. 
     
     
         6 . The flavorant-carrying constituent member according to  claim 1 , wherein the emulsifier includes one or more selected from the group consisting of glycerin fatty acid ester, polyglycerin fatty acid ester, propylene glycol fatty acid ester, sucrose fatty acid ester, sorbitan fatty acid ester, and lecithin. 
     
     
         7 . The flavorant-carrying constituent member according to  claim 1 , wherein the flavorant includes one or more selected from the group consisting of a flavor-presenting material, a taste-presenting material, a plant material, a lipid, and nicotine. 
     
     
         8 . The flavorant-carrying constituent member according to  claim 7 , wherein the flavorant includes the lipid, and the lipid includes at least one of fatty acid or fatty acid ester. 
     
     
         9 . The flavorant-carrying constituent member according to  claim 1 , wherein the flavorant composition further contains glucan. 
     
     
         10 . The flavorant-carrying constituent member according to  claim 9 , wherein the glucan is a cellulose derivative. 
     
     
         11 . The flavorant-carrying constituent member according to  claim 9 , wherein the glucan is amphipathic. 
     
     
         12 . The flavorant-carrying constituent member according to  claim 1 , wherein the flavorant composition further contains hydroxypropyl cellulose. 
     
     
         13 . The flavorant-carrying constituent member according to  claim 1 , wherein the flavorant composition further contains an adsorbent. 
     
     
         14 . The flavorant-carrying constituent member according to  claim 1 , wherein the constituent member is a tobacco filler. 
     
     
         15 . The flavorant-carrying constituent member according to  claim 1 , wherein the constituent member is a filter. 
     
     
         16 . The flavorant-carrying constituent member according to  claim 1 , wherein the constituent member is a tube. 
     
     
         17 . The flavorant-carrying constituent member according to  claim 1 , wherein the constituent member is paper. 
     
     
         18 . The flavorant-carrying constituent member according to  claim 1 , wherein the constituent member is a base material of a flavorant filler or cut pieces of the base material. 
     
     
         19 . A method of producing a flavorant-carrying constituent member of a tobacco product, comprising loading, on a constituent member of a tobacco product, a flavorant composition containing an emulsifier and a flavorant, the emulsifier having an HLB in a range of 1 to 7.
