Problems solved by technology

Among them, glycerin and propylene glycol have better moisturizing properties, but the acrolein produced by the combustion and decomposition of glycerin will make the smoke taste bad, and glycerin and propylene glycol are expensive
Although the prices of xylitol and sorbitol are low, their moisturizing performance is not as good as that of glycerin and propylene glycol, and there will be precipitation when stored for a long time, and it is easy to solidify when the temperature is low, which is not convenient for use in production
With the continuous research on new humectants in the cigarette industry in recent years, certain results have been achieved. Among them, maltooligosaccharide alcohol and chitosan derivatives are relatively widely used, but the moisturizing effect of maltooligosaccharide alcohol Slightly worse, and chitosan derivatives have a certain impact on the aroma and aftertaste of cigarettes because they contain more nitrogen

Abstract

The invention discloses a konjac humectant and an application thereof in cigarettes, belonging to the technical field of cigarettes. The konjac humectant is prepared by the following steps: adding 20-50% ethanol in konjac powder, soaking and extracting; (2) soaking and extracting filter residue for 2-6 times; (3) eluting by utilizing 95% ethanol or absolute ethyl alcohol; (4) drying at the temperature of 60-80 DEG C; and (5) grinding until the particles can pass through a 60-80 meshed sieve. The konjac humectant is dissolved into konjac humectant solution by utilizing distilled water the weight of which is 1000-10000 times of the konjac humectant, and then the konjac humectant solution is sprayed on tobacco leaves evenly based on the mass ratio of the konjac humectant solution to the tobacco leaves of (0.5-1.5):100 in the tobacco leaf charging process. The konjac humectant in the invention can greatly lower the tobacco production cost, improve physical and sensory moisture-keeping effects, and has simple and feasible method, thereby having wide application prospect in tobacco industry.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarettes, and in particular relates to a natural tobacco humectant capable of reducing cigarette production costs and simultaneously improving the physical and sensory moisturizing effects of tobacco and its application in cigarettes. Background technique [0002] The humectants currently used in the cigarette industry can only maintain the appropriate moisture content of cigarettes. The role of these humectants is to keep moisture, not to keep moisture. With the in-depth research on moisture retention technology in the cigarette industry, the industry has a deeper understanding of the role humectants should play: cigarette moisture retention should not only include physical moisture retention, but also sensory moisture retention. Physical moisturizing refers to maintaining the moisture of tobacco leaves, with the purpose of improving the processing resistance of tobacco and maintaining the moisture of ...
