Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021144043A1] The present invention relates to a method for producing a tobacco paste and reconstituted tobacco, a tobacco-containing film, film portions and film shreds, and a system for producing reconstituted tobacco. The method for producing a tobacco paste (10) comprises the following steps: - preparing a powdered material (11) having a predefined particle size, preferably a particle size smaller than 350 μm, particularly preferably between 5 μm and 250 μm or between 120 μm and 300 μm, wherein the material preferably comprises tobacco powder (12); - preparing a highly viscous, water-based binder gel (13), which in particular has a viscosity of at least 1000 cP, preferably between 10,000 cP and 50,000 cP, a water content of at least 50%, preferably between 60% and 80%, and at least one binder, for example guar meal and/or carboxymethylcellulose (CMC); - mixing the powdered material (11) with the binder gel (13) to form a tobacco paste (10) which is in particular substantially solid, wherein the tobacco paste (10) has a low water content or moisture content of preferably at most 50%.
