Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A process for producing flavorants made or derived from tobacco or, more generally, made or derived from any biomass derived from any one or more species of genus Nicotiana , or that otherwise incorporate tobacco, is provided. Provided are flavorants obtained or derived from plants or portions of plants from the Nicotiana species, such as from one or more flowers from one or more Nicotiana species, and products comprising one or more such flavorants.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A process for making an ester of a fatty acid derived from tobacco seed oil, wherein the ester possesses favorable organoleptic properties, the process comprising contacting a quantity of a composition comprising tobacco seed oil containing C 11 triglycerides with (a) a quantity of a composition comprising an alcohol and a quantity of a composition comprising an acid or (b) a quantity of a composition comprising an alcohol and an acid to form a reaction mixture for a period of time sufficient for the formation of a composition comprising a C 11 fatty acid ester. 2. A process according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprising tobacco seed oil is reacted with a quantity of a composition comprising an alcohol and a quantity of a composition comprising an acid. 3. A process according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprising tobacco seed oil is reacted with a quantity of a composition comprising an alcohol and an acid. 4. A process according to claim 1 , wherein the alcohol is ethanol. 5. A process according to claim 2 , wherein the alcohol is ethanol. 6. A process according to claim 3 , wherein the alcohol is ethanol. 7. A process according to claim 1 , wherein the acid is sulfuric acid. 8. A process according to claim 3 , wherein the acid is sulfuric acid. 9. A process according to claim 1 , wherein the period of time is from one to 24 hours. 10. A process according to claim 1 , wherein the composition comprising a C 11 fatty acid ester comprises less than 3% by weight C 11 triglycerides. 11. A process for making an ester of a fatty acid derived from tobacco seed oil, wherein the ester possesses favorable organoleptic properties, the process comprising contacting a quantity of a composition comprising tobacco seed oil containing C 11 triglycerides with (a) a quantity of a composition comprising ethanol and a quantity of a composition comprising an acid or (b) a quantity of a composition comprising ethanol and an acid to form a reaction mixture for a period of time sufficient for the formation of a composition comprising a C 11 fatty acid ethyl ester.
