Abstract
The present invention provides a tobacco filler that allows flexibility in the ratio of saccharides to amino acids in tobacco sheet form. The tobacco filler comprises a first tobacco sheet, a second tobacco sheet, or a combination thereof. Each of the first and second tobacco sheets contains three saccharides selected from glucose, fructose, sucrose, and mixtures thereof, and three amino acids selected from aspartic acid, glutamic acid, asparagine, and mixtures thereof. The first tobacco sheet has a saccharide-to-amino acid mass ratio of 50 or more, while the second tobacco sheet has a saccharide-to-amino acid mass ratio of 20 or less.
Claims9
A tobacco filler, comprising:
- a first tobacco sheet, a second tobacco sheet, or a combination thereof,
- wherein the first tobacco sheet and the second tobacco sheet each comprise
- three saccharides selected from the group consisting of glucose, fructose, sucrose, and mixtures thereof, and
- three amino acids selected from the group consisting of aspartic acid, glutamic acid, asparagine, and mixtures thereof,
- the ratio of the percent by mass of the three saccharides relative to the percent by mass of the three amino acids (percent by mass of three saccharides/percent by mass of three amino acids) in the first tobacco sheet is 50 or more, and
- the ratio of the percent by mass of the three saccharides relative to the percent by mass of the three amino acids (percent by mass of three saccharides/percent by mass of three amino acids) in the second tobacco sheet is 20 or less.
