Cigarette smoke free radical adsorbent and using method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a cigarette smoke free radical adsorbent and a using method thereof. The adsorbent is a plant extract with a free radical adsorption function. The adsorbent specifically comprises a mulberry extract, a blood orange extract, a dragon fruit extract, a tomato extract, a blueberry extract, a wheat seedling powder extract, a Chinese yam extract, a prune extract, a purple sweetpotato extract, a black Chinese wolfberry extract, a marigold extract, a strawberry extract, a turmeric extract and the like. The plant extract is used as a filler in a cigarette filter tip, and can fully adsorb and reduce harmful components such as free radicals in cigarette smoke to reduce the harm of the free radicals in the cigarette smoke when being in contact with airflow which passes through the cigarette filter tip more quickly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cigarette harm reduction, in particular to a plant extract adsorbent for absorbing cigarette smoke free radicals and a use method thereof. Background technique [0002] Free radicals refer to atoms or groups with unpaired electrons formed by the homolysis of covalent bonds in molecules under external conditions such as light and heat. During the burning of cigarettes, harmful substances such as nicotine and tar begin to be released mainly in the form of unstable free radicals, so a large number of free radicals are generated, and enter the human body with cigarette smoke, causing harm to human health. The survival time of smoke free radicals is very short, only about 10 seconds, but after being inhaled into the human body, it will directly or indirectly damage the cell membrane or directly combine with genes to cause cell cancer, etc., thus causing emphysema, lung cancer, lung interstitial A series of sm...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The survival time of smoke free radicals is very short, only about 10 seconds, but after being inhaled into the human body, it will directly or indirectly damage the cell membrane or directly combine with genes to cause cell cancer, etc., thus causing emphysema, lung cancer, lung interstitial A series of smoking-related diseases such as fibrosis also increase the risk of pneumonia and heart disease. Its human health hazards are far greater than nicotine and tar, and it will also bring huge economic losses to the family and the country.

Some free radicals produced by smoking can be removed by filters, but there are still many kinds of free radicals that cannot be removed by traditional filter methods. More effective technological means must be adopted to remove and reduce them.

In order to reduce the harm of cigarette smoke, China signed the "Framework Convention on Tobacco Control" in 2003. Tobacco manufacturers at home and abroad have also developed a variety of cigarette smoke adsorbents, mainly traditional smoke adsorbents that absorb tar, such as Activated carbon adsorbents, synthetic chemical substance adsorbents, etc., are not ideal for the adsorption of cigarette smoke free radicals
