Pelargonium graveolens porous particle and application thereof to cigarette

Abstract

The invention discloses a Pelargonium graveolens porous particle and application thereof to cigarettes. Pelargonium graveolens porous particles with a particle size of 20 meshes to 60 meshes are prepared by using mixed Pelargonium graveolens stem, leaf and flower powder with water content of 7-9 percent and a particle size of 100 meshes to 160 meshes as raw materials, using one kind or several kinds of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl starch as a binding agent and adopting a fluidized bed top spraying technology. The particle has the advantages that the surface is rough, the specific surface area is larger, the effective contact area of particle materials and cigarette smoke can be obviously improved, and hydrogen cyanide and crotonaldehyde in the cigarette smoke can be selectively adsorbed; the particle not only has a function of reducing the harm, but also can enrich the smoke flavor, improving the sweetness and has an efficacy of improving smoke volatility; the production process is simple, the operability and the standardization capability are strong, the raw materials is easy to obtain, the cost is low, the realization of industrial production is facilitated and the application prospect is good.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarette materials, and in particular relates to a geranium porous particle capable of improving the smoking quality of cigarettes. At the same time, the present invention also relates to the application of the porous particles in cigarette processing. Background technique [0002] Geranium, also known as mosquito repellent, is a perennial herb belonging to the genus Geranium of the family Geranium. The stems, leaves and flowers of Geranium all contain volatile aromas, which can be used to refine flavors or spices. Geranium essential oil is formed by more than 30 kinds of terpenoids and their derivatives. Its main components are geraniol, citronellol, linalool, citronellyl formate, geraniol formate and menthone. Fragrance components can give cigarettes fragrance, sweetness, and flue-cured tobacco fragrance. For this reason, the essential oil of Geranium Geranium is often added as a tobacco flavor to cigare...

Problems solved by technology

Cigarette material research workers have developed some filter rod granular materials by using natural plant materials. Some effects have been achieved in cigarette flavoring and harm reduction, but there are still the following disadvantages: (1) The plant material is directly crushed into particles, the shape of the particles is uneven, and the physical properties are unstable. When the particles are easily broken, a large amount of dust is generated, and the utilization rate of the material is not high; (2) The granules are prepared by the extrusion method, and the binder added is easy to embed the holes in the plant material itself, and the particle material and cigarette smoke The contact area is reduced, and its damage reduction and coke reduction effects are limited. At the same time, the prepared particles are relatively compact and hard, which is not conducive to the preparation of cigarette composite filter rods
