Additive for improving quality of CO2 expanded cut tobacco and application of additive in cigarettes

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of cigarette processing and relates to an additive for improving the quality of CO2 expanded cut tobacco and an application of the additive in cigarettes. Concretely, the additive contains propylene glycol and/or glycerinum, sodium alginate and a maillard reaction product. The invention also relates to an application of the additive in preparation of tobacco products such as cigarettes. The additive is sprayed on cut tobacco, and then, the cut tobacco is subjected to CO2 expansion, so that the loss of fragrant components and relevant components in the cut tobacco in a CO2 expansion process can be effectively reduced, and furthermore, the sensory quality and physical wettability of the expanded cut tobacco are improved. The additive disclosed by the invention can also be used for effectively reducing the crushed cut tobacco in the expansion process, reducing the cut tobacco crushing rate and increasing the complete cut tobacco rate and the filling value and has relatively high production and application values.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of cigarette processing and relates to a method for improving CO 2 Additives for expanded cut tobacco quality and their application in cigarettes. Background technique [0002] Currently CO 2 Shredded tobacco expansion technology is one of the important means for the domestic tobacco industry to reduce harm, reduce coke, and reduce cigarette consumption. CO 2 The principle of shredded tobacco expansion technology is to soak shredded tobacco with carbon dioxide liquid at a certain temperature and pressure, so that carbon dioxide can fully penetrate into the shredded tobacco, and then quickly depressurize it, so that the liquid carbon dioxide in the shredded tobacco can be solidified into solid carbon dioxide, and then use high-temperature airflow to quickly heat the shredded tobacco, so that The carbon dioxide sublimates, the volume expands rapidly, and the shrunken tobacco cell wall is opened, so that the volume of...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] 1) Since these essences use a lot of natural or synthetic flavors, they are volatile to a certain extent and will be brought into carbon dioxide during the expansion process, which may affect the next batch of expanded shredded tobacco;

[0007] 2) The function of these expanded shredded tobacco flavors is mainly to increase flavor, and has no relevant effect on improving the physical moisturizing effect of expanded shredded tobacco
