  • Publication number: 20200359672
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a tobacco extract that, when utilized for a non-combustion type flavor inhaler, does not generate insoluble particles in a liquid mixture or the like, and can thereby suppress scorching at a heat source section and also suppress a change in smoke flavor. The present invention provides a tobacco extract produced by subjecting all or a portion of a tobacco plant body to steam distillation to obtain a fraction, subjecting the fraction to solvent extraction with a suitable organic solvent, and removing the organic solvent.

  • Patent number: 9875401
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit, a first classification unit, and a second classification unit. The obtaining unit obtains plural types of document images. The first classification unit classifies each of the plural types of document images obtained by the obtaining unit into any of classification items included in one category among plural categories, the plural categories each including plural classification items. The second classification unit classifies, in a case where there is a document image that is not classified into the one category by the first classification unit among the plural types of document images, the document image, which is not classified into the one category, into another category that includes at least one of classification items into which some of the document images are classified by the first classification unit.
