The invention relates to the field of cigarette
processing and manufacturing, in particular to a
lotus seed Maillard reactant, a preparation method thereof and cigarette feed liquid. The preparation method of the
lotus seed Maillard reactant for the cigarettes comprises the following steps: sequentially cleaning,
drying and crushing plumule-removed
lotus seeds to obtain lotus seed
powder; extracting water-soluble
polysaccharide in the lotus seed
powder by adopting an ultrasonic-assisted extraction method to obtain a lotus seed leaching solution; carrying out enzymolysis on the lotus seed leach liquor by using a compound
enzyme; after enzymolysis, sequentially performing
enzyme deactivation, sterilization, primary
filtration, concentration and secondary
filtration to obtain a lotus seed extract; and adding
amino acid into the lotus seed extract, and carrying out
Maillard reaction to obtain the lotus seed Maillard reactant. The lotus seed Maillard reactant prepared by the method disclosed by the invention is added into cigarettes, so that the
aroma is increased, the smoothness and softness of
smoke are improved, the comfort of the cigarettes is improved, the
irritation is reduced, the offensive
odor is reduced, and the quality of the cigarettes is improved.
