Problems solved by technology

At present, polyhydroxy substances such as glycerin, propylene glycol, sorbitol, and xylitol are mainly used as humectants in the cigarette industry in my country. These substances absorb moisture in the air to keep tobacco shreds moist, but the purpose of using such humectants It is only to maintain the moisture content of shredded tobacco during processing and improve the processing resistance of shredded tobacco, but the effect of improving the smoking comfort of finished cigarettes is not ideal
In addition, this kind of humectant is greatly affected by the ambient temperature and humidity, and the cost of glycerin and propylene glycol is relatively high. Although the cost of sorbitol and xylitol is controllable, the moisturizing effect is not as good as that of glycerin and propylene glycol.

[0023] 1. Evaluation of moisturizing effect

[0024] 1. Test purpose

[0025] Under the same conditions, the physical moisturizing effect of cut tobacco containing moisturizing and flavoring agent was compared with blank cut tobacco (blank) and cut tobacco containing propylene glycol (control).

[0026] 2. Test samples

[0027] Moisturizing and flavoring agent: 1% moisturizing and flavoring agent + mid-range blank tobacco

[0028] Control: 1% propylene glycol + mid-range blank tobacco

[0029] Blank: mid-range blank tobacco

[0030] 3. Test method

[0031] 3.1 Balance process: put the three groups of samples in the test experiment in a temperature: (22±1)°C, humidity: (60±3)% in a constant temperature and humidity chamber for 48 hours, and use the oven method to measure the temperature of the three groups of test samples The initial moisture content is the moisture content of 0h.

[0032] 3.2 Test process: Adjust the environment of the constant temperature and humidity c...

Embodiment 1

[0046] Take Epimedium, Eclipta, Coltsfoot, Leonurus, Dandelion and Trichosanthes bark respectively, grind them and mix them uniformly according to the ratio of 0.5:0.5:0.2:0.3:0.3:1, add 8 times the amount of pure water, soak for 2 hours, Heat reflux extraction at 75°C for 1 hour, extract 3 times in total, combine the extracts from the 3 times, concentrate at 80°C, and pressure 0.02Mpa to a fluid extract with a density of 1.12. Add 2 times the volume of ethanol, let it stand for 24 hours, filter the precipitate, concentrate at 80°C and a pressure of 0.02Mpa to a liquid extract with a density of 1.12, and filter to obtain a moisturizing and flavoring additive. Take 10g of the additive, dissolve it in 20kg of distilled water, spray it on 500kg of shredded tobacco, and roll it into cigarettes.

Embodiment 2

[0048] Take Epimedium, Eclipta, Coltsfoot, Motherwort, Dandelion and Trichosanthes bark respectively, grind them and mix them evenly according to the ratio of 1:0.8:0.5:0.5:0.5:1, add 6 times the amount of pure water, soak for 6 hours, Heat reflux extraction at 70°C for 1.5h, extract 3 times in total, combine the three extracts, concentrate at 75°C and pressure 0.06Mpa to a fluid extract with a density of 1.11. Add 2 times the volume of ethanol, let it stand for 36 hours, filter the precipitate, concentrate at 75°C and a pressure of 0.06Mpa to a liquid extract with a density of 1.11, and filter to obtain a moisturizing and flavoring additive. Take 50g of the additive, dissolve it in 20kg of distilled water, spray it on 500kg of shredded tobacco, and roll it into cigarettes.

Abstract

The invention discloses an aroma-increasing and humidity-preserving additive for cigarettes and a preparation method and application thereof. The additive contains a traditional Chinese medicine extract composition or a compound traditional Chinese medicine extract. The traditional Chinese medicine comprises epimedium, eclipta herb, coltsfoot flower, leonurus, dandelion and trichosanthes peels. The preparation method of the aroma-increasing and humidity-preserving additive comprises respectively using a solvent to extract and refine the epimedium, the eclipta herb, the coltsfoot flower, the leonurus, the dandelion and the trichosanthes peels and mixing the ingredients according to the proportion of 1-8:0.8-6:0.5-4:0.3-4:0.3-5:1 to prepare the aroma-increasing and humidity-preserving additive, or mixing the epimedium, the eclipta herb, the coltsfoot flower, the leonurus, the dandelion and the trichosanthes peels according to the proportion of 0.5-8:0.5-6:0.2-4:0.3-4:0.3-5:1 and then using the solvent to perform extraction and refining to prepare the aroma-increasing and humidity-preserving additive. The additive is added into tobacco shreds, cut stems and slices for cigarettes, and the adding proportion is 0.002-1%wt. After the additive is added into the tobacco shreds, the cut stems and the slices for the cigarettes, the moisture of the tobacco shreds can be maintained in the normal-temperature dry environment, the additive has good physical humidity-preserving effect and integrally improves the intrinsic quality of the cigarettes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of tobacco additives and their preparation and application, in particular to a natural cigarette additive which contains a combination of traditional Chinese medicine extracts or compound Chinese medicine extracts and has the function of moisturizing and enhancing flavor, and its preparation and application. Background technique [0002] Humectants refer to substances that are added to tobacco during the processing of tobacco products to enhance the moisturizing properties of tobacco and tobacco products, increase softness, and reduce damage. The humectant can improve the physical properties of leaves and shredded tobacco, increase the toughness, elasticity and water retention performance of cigarette products, and reduce the process loss during processing. At present, polyhydroxy substances such as glycerin, propylene glycol, sorbitol, and xylitol are mainly used as humectants in the cigarette industry in my country....
