Lemon grass porous particle and application thereof to cigarettes

Abstract

The invention discloses a lemon grass porous particle and application thereof to cigarettes. The lemon grass porous particle adopts lemon grass powder with the water content being 7 to 9 percent and the particle diameter being 100 to 160 meshes and micro-powder silica gel as raw materials, and adopts one kind or several kinds of materials from sodium carboxymethyl starch and sodium carboxymethyl starch as bonding agents, a fluidized bed top spraying process is adopted for preparation, and 20 to 60 meshes of lemon grass porous particles are obtained. The particle has the advantages that the surface is rough, the specific surface area is higher, the effective contact area of the particle materials and the smoke gas of the cigarettes can be obviously increased, and crotonaldehyde and ammonia in the smoke gas of the cigarettes can be selectively adsorbed. The particle can effectively reduce the irritation of the smoke gas of the cigarettes and improve the aftertaste, and meanwhile, the effect of enhancing the ventilation effect of the smoke gas is also realized. The lemon grass porous particle provided by the invention has the advantages that the production process is simple, the operability and the standardability are high, the raw materials can be easily obtained, the cost is low, the industrial production can be conveniently realized, and good application prospects are realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarette materials, and in particular relates to porous lemongrass particles capable of improving the smoking quality of cigarettes. At the same time, the invention also relates to the application of the porous particle in cigarette processing. Background technique [0002] Lemongrass scientific name citronella, also known as lemongrass, is a perennial herb of the genus Citronella. Lemongrass is mainly distributed in Guangdong, Fujian, Yunnan and other provinces in my country. In addition, it is also planted in large areas in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Cuba, and Uganda. Lemongrass can be harvested 3 to 4 times a year, and its stems and leaves can be directly used as seasoning spices, mainly used in seasoning and flavoring of dishes, cakes, honey and other foods; lemongrass can also be used medicinally, adding lemongrass powder When added to the feed of dairy cows, it can significantly increase the ac...

Problems solved by technology

Cigarette material researchers 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 granules 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 added binder is easy to embed the holes in the plant material itself. The contact area is limited, 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.
