Petroleum ether extracted red tea extract, preparation and application thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a red-tea alcohol extract extracted from petroleum ether as well as a preparation method and applications thereof. The red-tea is uniformly mixed with the petroleum ether and then a product is manufactured after the processes of extraction, solid-liquid separation, distilling and condensing are carried out on the mixture of the red-tea and the petroleum ether. The alcohol of 95 percent used for the red-tea alcohol extract extracted from petroleum ether is diluted to a concentration of 1 to 10 percent; then is added into the cigarette filaments according to 0.01 to 0.1 percent of the weight of the cigarette filaments for endowing special fragrance for the tobacco Simultaneously, free amino acids in the red-tea can better participle in a maillard reaction during the alcoholizing and burning process of the tobacco to generate a flavor matter and can neutralize the alkaline matters in the tobacco, thereby reducing stimulation, enriching the fragrance of the cigarette, lessening the stimulation and unpurified gases as well as improving the taste and aftertaste. The technique of the invention is simple; the operation is simple and convenient; besides, the existing production technique is not needed to be changed; the product does not have a solvent pollution; therefore, the red-tea alcohol extract has an excellent application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tobacco additive preparation, and in particular relates to a black tea extract extracted from petroleum ether.
