A way to improve co 2 Additives for Expanded Cut Tobacco Quality and Its Application in Cigarettes

Abstract

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. Specifically, the additives include propylene glycol and / or glycerin, sodium alginate, and Maillard reaction products. The invention also relates to the use of said additive in the manufacture of tobacco products such as cigarettes. The additive is sprayed on the shredded tobacco, and then the shredded tobacco is subjected to CO 2 Expansion, can effectively reduce CO 2 The loss of tobacco aroma components and related components during the expansion process improves the sensory quality and physical moisturizing performance of expanded tobacco. The additive of the invention can also effectively reduce the shredded tobacco in the expansion process, reduce the shredded shredded ratio, increase the shredded shredded ratio and the filling value, and has high production and application value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of cigarette processing and relates to a method for increasing 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 o...

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
