The invention discloses a preparation method of an improved cigarette feint spice. The preparation method comprises the following steps of selecting natural
herb raw materials of liquorice root, fig receptacle and dried cumquat, cleaning,
slicing, adding feint with
mass equal to 5 to 10 times of the
mass of the natural
herb raw materials to soak, and adding a mixed
enzyme solution with
mass equalto 0.1 to 0.5% of the mass of natural
herb raw materials, so as to obtain a feint extract; mixing the feint extract,
reducing sugar and
amino acid according to a
mass ratio of (10 to 15):(2 to 4):(1 to 2), placing into a reaction kettle, adding a small amount of
ammonia water to adjust the pH (potential of
hydrogen) value to 7 to 9, heating at the temperature of 95 DEG C, and refluxing for 2 to 6h, so as to obtain a feint reaction matter; performing ternary molecule
distillation on the feint reaction matter, so as to obtain four molecule
distillation components; mixing the secondary light component and the ternary light component according to a ratio of 1:(1 to 5), so as to obtain the feint spice. The invention also discloses the application of the feint spice in cigarette. The preparationmethod has the
advantage that the preparation defect of 'one-pot boiling' of the spice in the traditional
Maillard reaction is overcome, so that the cigarette is sweeter and moister.
