Kudzuvine root porous particles and application thereof to cigarettes

Abstract

The invention discloses kudzuvine root porous particles and application thereof to cigarettes. The kudzuvine root porous particles of 20-60 meshes are prepared by taking kudzuvine root powder of which the water content is 5-6 percent and the particle diameter is 100-160 meshes as raw materials and taking one or more of gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone and sodium carboxymethyl starch as bonding agents with a fluidized bed top spray process. The particles are rough in surfaces and are large in specific surface areas, the effective contact area between a particle material and cigarette smoke is increased remarkably, and hydrocyanic acid and crotonaldehyde in cigarette smoke can be adsorbed selectively; the irritation of the cigarette smoke is effectively lowered, and remaining taste is improved; meanwhile, the effect of improving the sweet taste of smoke is enhanced. The kudzuvine root porous particles and the application thereof to the cigarettes have the advantages of simple production process, high operability, high standardability, ready availability of raw materials, low cost, convenience in the realization of industrial production and good application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarette materials, and in particular relates to porous particles of kudzu root that can improve 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] Pueraria lobata, the tuber of the leguminous plant Pueraria mirifica, is a kind of commonly eaten vegetable in some provinces and regions in southern China. It tastes sweet and cool, and is often used for soup and medicine. The main components in kudzu root are kudzu root starch, kudzu root fiber and kudzu root flavonoids, and the content of isoflavones with anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects such as puerarin and soybean isoflavones is also considerable. Many researchers have analyzed the chemical components of Pueraria lobata, and obtained that the total isoflavone content in Pueraria lobata root is 7.80%, the total amino acid conte...

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 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
