Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2008148701A1] A humidifier for use with tobacco products comprises a gel body comprising a continuous porous network of particles supporting a volume of moisturising liquid, the gel body configured to release the liquid by evaporation at a predetermined rate, and a permeable layer enclosing the gel body through which the evaporated liquid may pass. The gel can be engineered to give an evaporation rate and hence moisture delivery rate that is suitable for a particular tobacco hydrating requirement. Examples of useful gels include alginates and pectins. Additional modifying substances such as salts can also be included for further tailoring of the evaporation rate.
