The invention belongs to the technical field of tobacco
flavor preparation, and discloses a method for preparing tobacco
flavor based on
polysaccharide Maillard reaction and application of the tobacco
flavor. The method comprises the following steps: dissolving
amino acid and
polysaccharide in a
solvent according to a certain
molar ratio to obtain a reaction material; putting the reaction materials into a reaction kettle, and carrying out
Maillard reaction under a closed condition; and after the reaction is finished, rapidly cooling the reaction kettle to
room temperature to obtain a
Maillard reaction product. In the reaction process,
polysaccharide is cracked into various reducing sugars step by step and is subjected to Maillard reaction with
amino acid, so that the problems that
monosaccharide participates in the Maillard reaction, the
aroma is single, and the reaction is violent and difficult to control are effectively solved. When the tobacco flavor is applied to cigarettes, the
irritation of
smoke can be remarkably reduced, offensive
odor can be covered, meanwhile, the
smoke is softened, the
aftertaste is improved, the
smoke concentration is increased, and the baking fragrance and the sweet
aftertaste are increased. The method is low in cost, simple in equipment and convenient to operate, can be put into production without modifying existing production equipment, and has a good industrial application prospect.
