Functional agent containing Pu-erh tea extracts and cigarette filter stick prepared with same

Abstract

The invention discloses a functional agent containing Pu-erh tea extracts and a cigarette filter stick prepared with the same, belonging to the technical field of cigarette production. A conventional method in the field of plant extraction is adopted, such active ingredients as tea polyphenol, caffeine, trace elements such as chromium, manganese, selenium and zinc, aroma ingredients and the like are extracted from Pu-erh tea, mainly tea polyphenol substances, and the active ingredients extracted from Pu-erh tea are adopted to prepare the functional agent. The functional agent prepared from the Pu-erh tea extracts is added to filter stick core wires which can be prepared from chitosan fibres. The cigarette filter stick has the following beneficial effects: the tea polyphenol substances in the Pu-erh tea extracts can reduce free radicals in the smoke; tea polyphenol can reduce the activities of free radicals in human bodies after volatilizing and entering the human bodies along with thesmoke; and meanwhile, the chitosan fibres can well adsorb the heavy metal ions in the smoke and reduce or eliminate the heavy metals in the smoke.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarette production, and more specifically relates to the application of Pu'er tea extract in cigarette filter rods. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards and deeper awareness of health, smokers have higher and higher requirements for the quality of cigarettes. Various methods or additives are used to prepare cigarettes with different flavors, and various methods are also used. Additives, a variety of technologies to reduce the tar in cigarettes that are very harmful to the human body, and reduce the release of tar. In addition to the tar in cigarettes that is harmful to the human body, the burning of cigarettes also produces thousands of compounds, as well as a large number of free radicals, which will cause great harm to the smoker's body. [0003] At present, there are not many methods and technologies for removing meteorological free radical...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] Another example is "Forming Paper for Cigarette Filter with Pu'er Tea Adsorption Layer" (200720155554) which discloses that the Pu'er tea adsorption layer is bonded to the molded The paper can reduce the volatile or semi-volatile nitrite, tar, etc. in the smoke, but 90% of the total flow of the smoke when the cigarette is sucked is concentrated through a vertical cross-section of the filter rod axis. The center of the filter rod is centered on a circle with an area of ​​0.69So. The closer to the center, the greater the flow rate, and the closer to the edge, the smaller the flow rate. The Puer tea adsorption layer is bonded to the filter rod forming paper. A small part of the smoke flows through, and only a small part of harmful substances can be adsorbed, and the effect is negligible

[0008] However, if Pu’er tea powder is directly added to the cigarette filter stick, it will cause the filter stick to be clogged, increase the cigarette suction resistance, affect the flow of smoke, and the powder is easy to leak. affect the quality of cigarettes

[0009]If the Pu’er tea extract is directly added to the filter rod by infiltration, etc., it will affect the shape of the filter rod, and the production process of cigarettes will be changed too much, resulting in cost too high
