20100037903 | Method for Preparing Flavorful and Aromatic Compounds - The invention provides a method of preparing a purified, pyrazine-containing aqueous composition by mixing a reducing sugar, a base, and an amino acid in water to produce a mixture; heating the mixture for a time and under conditions conducive to Maillard reactions such that a flavorful and aromatic aqueous solution is formed, the aqueous solution comprising a plurality of pyrazines and a first 4-methylimidazole concentration; distilling the aqueous solution to produce an aqueous distillate comprising a plurality of pyrazines and having a second 4-methylimidazole concentration lower than the first 4-methylimidazole concentration; and collecting the aqueous distillate. The invention also includes flavorful and aromatic aqueous compositions formed by this inventive method, as well as tobacco products (e.g., smokable materials, smoking articles, and smokeless tobacco) incorporating the flavorful and aromatic composition. | 02-18-2010 |
20110174323 | TOBACCO-DERIVED COMPONENTS AND MATERIALS - The invention provides a tobacco composition for use in a smoking article or a smokeless tobacco composition that includes an additive derived from a flower of the | 07-21-2011 |
20110259353 | Tobacco Seed-Derived Components and Materials - A tobacco composition for use in a smoking article or a smokeless tobacco composition is provided, the composition including a component derived from a seed of the | 10-27-2011 |
20120125354 | Fire-Cured Tobacco Extract and Tobacco Products Made Therefrom - The invention provides a tobacco product including a flavorful tobacco composition in the form of an extract of a fire-cured tobacco material. Exemplary tobacco products include smoking articles, smokeless tobacco compositions, and aerosol-generating devices that do not burn tobacco. The invention also provides a process for preparing a smokeless tobacco composition, the method including: mixing a fire-cured tobacco material having a first benzo[a]pyrene concentration with water to produce an aqueous slurry; maintaining the slurry for a time and at a temperature sufficient to form a fire-cured tobacco extract, the aqueous fire-cured tobacco extract exhibiting a second benzo[a]pyrene concentration lower than the first benzo[a]pyrene concentration; separating the aqueous fire-cured tobacco extract from a residual pulp material, and mixing the aqueous fire-cured tobacco extract with a tobacco or non-tobacco plant material to form a smokeless tobacco composition. | 05-24-2012 |
