Abstract
The subject of the invention is a reconstituted tobacco specifically suitable for devices that heat tobacco without burning it. This reconstituted tobacco may be very homogeneous and may have good organoleptic qualities. This reconstituted tobacco, when it is heated, may generate an aerosol that irritates the throat very little with low mouth sting and no burnt tobacco notes.
Claims21
A reconstituted tobacco configured for a heat but not burn device comprising:
- tobacco fibres which have undergone an extraction in water;
- a tobacco aqueous soluble fraction;
- and
- a humectant,
- in which:
- the tobacco fibres represent between 45% and 80% of dry weight of the reconstituted tobacco, wherein the tobacco components of the reconstituted tobacco have a tobacco lamina fiber content of 20% or more by weight of the dry matter of the tobacco components;
- the tobacco aqueous soluble fraction represents between 10% and 35% by weight of dry matter of the reconstituted tobacco;
- and
- the humectant represents between 8% and 30% by weight of the dry matter of the reconstituted tobacco;
- wherein the reconstituted tobacco is formed from a papermaking process, the papermaking process comprising the following steps:
- tobacco parts originating from a threshing or cutting of tobacco leaves are mixed with water in order to extract water-soluble products of the tobacco, the tobacco aqueous soluble fraction being the water-soluble products of the tobacco lamina;
- wherein the tobacco aqueous soluble fraction corresponds to all of the tobacco components that solubilize in water.
