    Field of the invention
    The invention is in the field of devices for heating tobacco without burning it, and relates to a reconstituted plant leaf obtained by a papermaking process and comprising solid additives.
    Context of the invention
    A large number of tobacco heaters without burning it have been developed to prevent the formation of harmful constituents during the combustion of tobacco. By way of example, mention may be made of the applications published under the numbers WO 2016/026810 and WO 2016/207407 which describe such devices. In these devices, the tobacco is heated to a temperature below the combustion temperature without being burnt, which leads to the formation of an aerosol. The aerosol generated during the heating of tobacco replaces cigarette smoke, has interesting organoleptic properties and is inhaled by the user. This allows the user to inhale the aromas of tobacco while significantly reducing their exposure to harmful constituents.
    Conventional tobacco is not suitable for such devices, because it does not generate a large amount of aerosol having interesting organoleptic properties. Reconstituted tobacco is more suitable for these heating devices because it generates a large amount of aerosol with interesting organoleptic properties.
    However, it remains important to properly control the amount of tobacco flavor in the aerosol formed so as not to create frustration for the user of the heating devices. It may also be advantageous to deliver to the user heating devices with flavors different from those of tobacco.
    In order to diversify the flavors and control the quantity in the aerosol, it is possible to add solid additives to the reconstituted tobacco. However, this poses the problem of the loss of solid additives added to the reconstituted tobacco.
    The inventors have developed a reconstituted plant leaf comprising:
    - 1 or 2 fibrous supports comprising plant fibers,
    - a plant extract, and
    - a solid additive.
    If the reconstituted plant leaf of the invention comprises 1 fibrous support, then the additive is fixed on the support by the plant extract. The loss of additive by the reconstituted plant of the invention is therefore advantageously minimized.
    If the reconstituted plant leaf of the invention comprises 2 fibrous supports, then the additive is trapped between the 2 fibrous supports and the plant extract makes it possible to fix the 2 fibrous supports between them. The loss of additive by the reconstituted plant of the invention is all the more minimized.
    For the purposes of the present application, fibrous support denotes a base sheet (web base in English) comprising refined plant fibers, the base sheet being obtained by a papermaking process. The fibrous support has two sides, a front side and a back side.
    Typically, each fibrous support may comprise fibers from the same plant or a fibrous support may comprise fibers from one plant and the other support may comprise fibers from another plant. Typically each fibrous support can comprise fibers from one or more plants.
    Typically the one or both fibrous supports comprise the plant extract.
    Typically the solid additive is in contact with a fibrous support. For example, the solid additive can be on a fibrous support, in a fibrous support, on and in a fibrous support, or between the 2 fibrous supports.
    Typically, the solid additive may be plant dust, a diluent, a texturing agent, a powdered or encapsulated flavor, a color, a gel or a mixture thereof, in particular plant dust.
    The solid additive content will depend on the solid additive. Typically the dry matter content by weight of the solid additive in the reconstituted plant leaf can be from 0.1% to 70%, in particular from 5% to 50%, very particularly from 12% to 35%.
    For the purposes of the present application, plant dust denotes a plant particle whose size is between 0.01 pm to 50 pm, in particular from 0.025 pm to 30 pm, very particularly from 0.05 pm to 20 pm. Typically plant dust includes the aromatic compounds which give the aerosol the aromas of the plant. Typically plant dust can result from different parts of the plant, the parts of the plant being parts of the plant themselves or the result of the transformation of different parts of the plant. Typically plant dust can be obtained by treating one or more parts of the plant, such as chopping, threshing or mixing and chopping parts of the plant.
    The weight content of plant dust is determined by controlling the amount of plant dust incorporated during the manufacture of the reconstituted plant leaf.
    Typically the dry matter content by weight of plant dust in the reconstituted plant leaf can be from 1% to 70%, in particular from 5% to 65%, very particularly from 10% to 30%.
    Typically the diluent can be CaCCh.
    Typically the texturing agent can be guar gum, potato starch, agaragar or a mixture of these.
    Typically the powdered flavor can be cocoa powder, tripotassium citrate, an aromatic powder preparation
    Typically the colorant may be beta-carotene, sunset yellow, apricot juice powder, turmeric.
    Typically the gel can be silica gel, polysaccharide gel, alumina gel or a mixture thereof.
    Typically the silica gel can be an amorphous silica gel, a modified silica gel such as an Amino Propyl Silyl (APS) modified silica gel, an Amino Ethyl Amino Propyl Silyl (AEPS) modified silica gel, a gel of modified silica Amino Ethyl Amino Ethyl Amino Propyl Silyl (AEAEAPS), or a mixture of these,
    The plant extract corresponds to all of the water-soluble products of the plant. Advantageously, the plant extract comprises the compounds which confer organoleptic properties and / or therapeutic properties to the aerosol.
    The dry matter content of the plant extract included in the reconstituted plant leaf of the present invention may depend on the organoleptic and therapeutic properties of the aerosol formed by the heating of said reconstituted plant leaf. The dry matter content by weight of the plant extract depends on the plant used and, more particularly, on the content of aromatic compounds or of compounds exhibiting therapeutic properties of the plant used.
    Let Sp be the dry matter content by weight of the plant extract included in the reconstituted plant leaf of the present invention. Typically S p can be from 5% to 47%, in particular from 25% to 45%.
    To determine Sp, we can use the following method:
    The reconstituted plant leaf to be analyzed is crushed to reach a particle size of less than or equal to 1 mm. The reconstituted plant leaf is then mixed with boiling water for 30 minutes to extract the entire plant extract. Sp, is calculated by the difference between the dry weight of the sample of reconstituted plant leaf to be analyzed and the dry weight of the fibrous residue after extraction.
    Typically the fibrous support (s) of the reconstituted plant leaf of the invention may also comprise an aerosol generating agent.
    The aerosol generating agent is a compound which allows the formation of an aerosol when heated, for example in contact with hot air.
    Typically, the aerosol generating agent represents from 8% to 50%, in particular from 10% to 40%, more particularly from 15% to 35% by weight in dry matter of the mixed leaf of reconstituted plant.
    According to one embodiment the content by weight of dry matter of plant extract and aerosol generating agent in the sheet of the invention is from 8% to 55%, in particular from 10% to 46%, more particularly from 20% to 45%.
    Typically the aerosol generating agent can be a polyol, a non-polyol or a mixture thereof. Typically a polyol generating agent can be sorbitol, glycerin, propylene glycol, triethylene glycol or a mixture thereof. Typically a nonpolyol generating agent can be lactic acid, glyceryl diacetate, glyceryl triacetate, triethyl citrate or isopropyl myristate or a mixture thereof.
    According to one embodiment, the aerosol generating agent is glycerin, propylene glycol, or a mixture of glycerin and propylene glycol, glycerin being preferred.
    An aerosol can be generated during the heating of the reconstituted plant leaf of the invention comprising an aerosol generating agent. Advantageously, the fibrous support comprises aromatic compounds so that the aerosol generated by the heating of the reconstituted plant leaf has organoleptic properties of interest to the user. Likewise the plant extract and, where appropriate, the solid additive give the aerosol aromas of the plant. By simply changing the reconstituted plant leaf, the user can easily vary the aromas of the aerosol generated by the heating of said reconstituted plant leaf.
    The plant extract and the solid additive are also distributed in a controlled manner in the reconstituted plant leaf of the invention. Thanks to this control, the concentration of aromas in the aerosol is advantageously constant, which does not cause frustration for the user.
    Plant fibers, plant extract and plant dust can be independently obtained from a plant selected from spore plants, seed plants or a mixture thereof. In particular, the plant can be a plant chosen from the tobacco plant, food plants, aromatic plants, perfume plants, medicinal plants, plants of the Cannabaceae family, or a mixture of these, any particularly the plant may be the tobacco plant.
    If the plant is a medicinal plant, the aerosol generated by the heating of the reconstituted plant leaf may also have therapeutic properties so that the reconstituted plant leaf can be used for therapeutic treatment.
    Advantageously, a plant extract obtained from a mixture of plants makes it possible to offer a wide range of organoleptic properties and / or therapeutic properties. Advantageously, plant dust obtained from a mixture of plants makes it possible to offer a wide range of organoleptic properties and / or therapeutic properties. A mixture of plants also makes it possible to counterbalance the unpleasant organoleptic properties of a plant of the mixture, for example a medicinal plant, by the pleasant organoleptic properties of another plant of the mixture, for example the tobacco plant, an aromatic plant or a perfume plant.
    Typically plant fibers can be obtained from a first plant, plant extract can be obtained from the first plant or from a second plant and plant dust can be obtained from the first plant , the second plant or a third plant. Indeed, the fibers of a plant may not have mechanical properties allowing the formation of a fibrous support, nevertheless the extract and the dust of this plant can confer organoleptic and / or therapeutic properties on the aerosol. sought. Conversely, the fibers of a plant may have mechanical properties allowing the formation of the leaf or leaves comprising plant fibers, but the extract and the dusts of this plant may not give the aerosol organoleptic properties and / or therapeutic properties sought. In addition, by mixing an extract of a plant with dust from another plant, it is possible to obtain a reconstituted plant leaf generating an aerosol having multiple organoleptic properties and / or therapeutic properties.
    Advantageously mixing plants to obtain the plant fibers makes it possible to adapt the mechanical properties of the reconstituted plant leaf and / or the organoleptic or chemical properties of the aerosol.
    When the plant is the tobacco plant, then the tobacco fibers, the tobacco extract and the tobacco dust can be obtained from any tobacco plant or type of tobacco, for example Virginia tobacco , Burley tobacco, air-cured tobacco, dark aircured tobacco, Oriental tobacco, sun-cured tobacco, fire-cured tobacco or a mixture thereof.

Typically the parts of the plant can be whole parts of the plant or debris from threshing or mixing and chopping parts of the plant.
    Typically the parts of the plant can be selected from the parts of the plant which are richest in aromatic compounds which give the aerosol its organoleptic properties. Typically these parts can be the whole plant, the aerial parts of the plant such as the flower bud, branch bark, stem bark, leaves, flower, fruit and its peduncle, seed, petal. , flowering tops, or underground parts, for example, the bulb, roots, root bark, rhizome, or a mixture thereof.

    According to one embodiment, the plant fibers of the fibrous support and the plant extract are obtained according to the following steps:
    e) mixing one or more parts of the plant with a solvent in order to extract the plant extract from the plant fibers,
    f) separation of the plant extract from the plant fibers.
    The plant extract and the plant fibers are therefore typically obtained by a dissociation process. During step e), one or more parts of the plant are mixed with a solvent, for example in a digester, in order to extract the plant extract from the plant fibers. In step f), the plant extract is separated from the plant fibers, for example by passing through a screw press, to isolate and obtain, on the one hand, the plant fibers and, on the other hand , the plant extract.

    Typically the temperature of the solvent during step e) can be from 10 ° C to 100 ° C, in particular from 30 ° C to 90 ° C, more particularly from 50 ° C to 80 ° C.
    Depending on the embodiment in which the solvent is water and the plant is tobacco, the temperature of the water can typically be between 30 ° C. and 80 ° C. Typically for the treatment of the ribs of a tobacco plant, the water temperature can be between 50 ° C and
    80 ° C. Typically for the treatment of parenchyma of a tobacco plant, the water temperature can be between 30 ° C and 70 ° C.

    Typically the plant fibers can come from different plants.
    The fibers of each plant can be obtained separately according to the dissociation process described above. They can then be mixed so that this mixture of fibers from different plants passes through the paper machine to constitute the fibrous support. It is also possible to obtain fibers from different plants together by gathering one or more parts of the different plants and then subjecting them to the dissociation process described above. The water temperature will then be adapted to the plants to be treated and, in particular, to the plant requiring the highest water temperature to extract the extract from this plant. This alternative embodiment is very advantageous because it makes it possible to obtain the fibers of the different plants without implementing several methods of dissociation in parallel.
    Typically the plant extract can be an extract from different plants.
    The extract of different plants can be obtained by mixing different plant extracts obtained separately according to the dissociation process described above. It is also possible to obtain the extract of different plants by gathering one or parts of the different plants and then subjecting them to the dissociation process described above. The water temperature will then be adapted to the plants to be treated and, in particular, to the plant requiring the highest water temperature to extract the extract of this water-soluble plant.

    Typically, during step bi) or b2), the plant extract can be brought into contact with one face of the fibrous support or supports or with the two faces of the fibrous support or supports.
    Typically steps bi) and b2) of bringing the plant extract into contact can be carried out by impregnation or by spraying, in particular by impregnation. Typically the impregnation can be carried out using a size press.
    Typically the plant extract can be concentrated before being brought into contact with the fibrous support (s) during steps bi) and b2). A device such as a vacuum evaporation device can be used to concentrate the plant extract.
    Steps ci) and C2) allow the solid additive to be brought into contact with at least one of the two faces of the fibrous support (s), in particular a wet face of the support (s), more particularly the face of the fibrous support (s) contact with plant extract. Typically this step makes it possible to disperse the solid additive on and / or in the fibrous support (s).
    Typically steps Ci) and C2) of bringing the solid additive into contact can be carried out by dispersion or by dusting, in particular by dusting.
    When steps bi) and b2) are carried out at the same time as step ci) and C2), then the plant extract can typically be mixed with the solid additive and this mixture is brought into contact with the support (s) fibrous. Typically, this mixture may be brought into contact by impregnation or by spraying, in particular by impregnation. Typically the impregnation can be carried out using a size press.

    Typically step d2) may have the objective of covering the face of the fibrous support in contact with the solid additive by the other fibrous support. When the two fibrous supports have one face in contact with the solid additive, then step d2) typically has the objective of bringing these two faces into contact so that the solid additive is between the two fibrous supports.

In order to facilitate the adhesion of the two faces, the face of the other fibrous support can be wet.
    Typically the drying step if) allows the solid additive to be fixed to the fibrous supports to form the reconstituted plant leaf.
    Typically the drying step S2) makes it possible to fix the fibrous supports between them and to trap the solid additive between the fibrous supports to form the sheet of reconstituted plant.
    Those skilled in the art will be able to adapt the parameters of the drying steps si) and S2) to allow the attachment of the solid additive to the fibrous support (s).
    Typically, during drying steps si) and S2), the drying temperature can be from 90 ° C to 130 ° C, in particular from 70 ° C to 110 ° C when the reconstituted plant leaf comprises a generating agent. 'aerosol.
    Typically steps Si) and S2) can be carried out by an infrared ramp, drying rollers in an American battery, drying with hot air in a tunnel dryer, a vertical dryer, a fluidized bed dryer, a pneumatic dryer, in particular in a tunnel dryer.
    The reconstituted plant leaf of the invention can then be cut into leaves, sheets similar to tobacco strips or rolled up in a roll. Several sheets can be joined to form a mixture of sheets.
    The reconstituted plant leaf of the invention comprising the generating agent can be used in a tobacco heater without burning it.
    Within the meaning of the present invention, the term device for heating tobacco without burning it means any device allowing the formation of an aerosol intended to be inhaled by a consumer. The aerosol replaces smoke, allowing the user to inhale the aromas of the plant while significantly reducing their exposure to harmful constituents.
    Typically a heating device comprises, in the direction of the air flow, an air inlet, a heating body, a location intended for the installation and maintenance of the reconstituted plant leaf of the invention comprising the 'generating agent, and an air outlet intended to be introduced into the mouth of the user. The air inlet, the heating body, the location, and the air outlet are typically fluidly connected to each other.
    Typically when using the heater, air is drawn by the user into the heater through the air inlet; the sucked air then passes through the heated part to obtain heated air; in contact with the reconstituted plant leaf of the invention comprising the generating agent maintained in the location, an aerosol is formed by the heated air and is then inhaled by the user. If the plant is a medicinal plant, then the aerosol formed has therapeutic properties.
    In addition, thanks to the heating device, there is no combustion of the sheet. The user can therefore take advantage of the organoleptic properties of the plant, and possibly tobacco while very significantly reducing their exposure to harmful constituents.
