  • Publication number: 20160360779
    Abstract: An extraction method of a flavor constituent comprises: a step A for heating a tobacco raw material which is subjected to an alkali treatment; and a step B for bringing a release component released in the gas phase in the step A into contact with a collection solvent at normal temperature until any time from when a first condition is satisfied to when a second condition is satisfied. The first condition is determined based on a residual rate of nicotine component. The second condition is determined based on a remaining amount of nicotine component.

  • Publication number: 20160360780
    Abstract: An extraction method of a flavor constituent comprises: a step A for heating a tobacco raw material which is subjected to an alkali treatment; and a step B for bringing a release component released in the gas phase in the step A into contact with a collection solvent at normal temperature until any time from when a first condition is satisfied to when a second condition is satisfied. The total amount of saccharides contained in the tobacco raw material is 9.0 wt % or less when a gross weight of the tobacco raw material in the dry state is 100 wt %. The first condition is determined based on variations in the pH of the collection solution. The second condition is determined based on the remaining amount of nicotine component.

  • Publication number: 20160331040
    Abstract: A non-combustion-type flavor inhaler includes a shape extending from a non-mouthpiece end to a mouthpiece end in a predetermined direction. The non-combustion-type flavor inhaler includes: an aerosol source generating aerosol; an atomizer atomizing the aerosol source without combustion; a power source supplying electric power to the atomizer; and a controller controlling an electric energy supplied from the power source to the atomizer. The controller randomly controls the electric energy supplied to the atomizer.

  • Patent number: 9481176
    Abstract: The image printing apparatus comprises: a droplet-discharging head in which a plurality of head modules including nozzle surfaces in which a plurality of nozzles discharging liquid are disposed are fixed and joined by head module support members and the nozzle surfaces are inclined with respect to a horizontal plane; a receiving member that receives the liquid discharged from the nozzles in the case where the droplet-discharging head performs pressure purging; and a liquid infiltration-preventing pad that is provided in the receiving member, comes into contact with the droplet-discharging head during the pressure purging, and prevents the ink, which is discharged by the pressure purging, from infiltrating into gaps between the head modules. The liquid infiltration-preventing pad is made of a non-absorbent material, and has a flow passage in which the liquid discharged by the pressure purging is collected by the inclination of the nozzle surfaces.

  • Publication number: 20160242458
    Abstract: A chewable oral tobacco composition (1) including a tobacco raw material for eluting a tobacco component and a gum base comprises: a first gum portion (10) including the tobacco raw material and a first gum base; and a second gum portion (20) including a second gum base. The second gum portion does not include the tobacco raw material or includes the tobacco raw material in an amount less than an amount of the tobacco raw material included in the first gum portion. A weight of the first gum base is 0.3 g or more. Wt. % of the first gum base is 50 wt. % or more when wt. % of the first gum portion is 100 wt. %. Total wt. % of the first gum base and the second gum base is 50 wt. % or less when wt. % of the oral tobacco composition is 100 wt. %.

  • Publication number: 20160206005
    Abstract: A non-burning type flavor inhaler includes: an aerosol source that generates an aerosol; an atomizer that atomizes the aerosol source without burning; a power source that supplies power to the atomizer; and a control unit that controls a power amount supplied from the power source to the atomizer. The control unit increases the power amount supplied to the atomizer stepwise from a reference power amount along with an increase in the number of puff actions for inhaling the aerosol.

  • Publication number: 20160073678
    Abstract: The production process comprises a step (A) in which an alkali-treated tobacco source is heated to make the tobacco source release a flavoring ingredient into a gas phase, a step (B) in which the flavoring ingredient released into the gas phase is brought into contact with a given solvent which is a liquid substance at ordinary temperature, thereby trapping the flavoring ingredient in the given solvent, and a step (C) in which the given solvent is added to a constituent element.
