Problems solved by technology

At present, polyhydroxy substances such as glycerin, propylene glycol, sorbitol, and xylitol are mainly used as humectants in the cigarette industry in my country. These substances absorb moisture in the air to keep tobacco shreds moist, but the purpose of using such humectants It is only to maintain the moisture content of shredded tobacco during processing and improve the processing resistance of shredded tobacco, but the effect of improving the smoking comfort of finished cigarettes is not ideal
In addition, this kind of humectant is greatly affected by the ambient temperature and humidity, and the cost of glycerin and propylene glycol is relatively high. Although the cost of sorbitol and xylitol is controllable, the moisturizing effect is not as good as that of glycerin and propylene glycol.

[0025] 1. Evaluation of moisturizing effect

[0026] 1. Test purpose

[0027] Under the same conditions, the physical moisturizing effect of cut tobacco containing moisturizing and flavoring agent was compared with blank cut tobacco (blank) and cut tobacco containing propylene glycol (control).

[0028] 2. Test samples

[0029] Moisturizing and flavoring agent: 1% moisturizing and flavoring agent + mid-range blank tobacco

[0030] Control: 1% propylene glycol + mid-range blank tobacco

[0031] Blank: mid-range blank tobacco

[0032] 3. Test method

[0033] 3.1 Balance process: put the three groups of samples in the test experiment in a temperature: (22±1)°C, humidity: (60±3)% in a constant temperature and humidity chamber for 48 hours, and use the oven method to measure the temperature of the three groups of test samples The initial moisture content is the moisture content of 0h.

[0034] 3.2 Test process: Adjust the environment of the constant temperature and humidity c...

Embodiment 1

[0048] Take Epimedium, Eclipta, Sweet Almond, Motherwort, Dandelion, and Juhong respectively, grind them and mix them evenly in the ratio of 0.5:0.5:0.2:0.3:0.3:1, add 8 times the amount of pure water, soak for 2 hours, 75 Heat reflux at ℃ for 1 hour, extract 3 times in total, combine the extracts from the 3 times, concentrate at 80 ℃ and pressure 0.02Mpa to a fluid extract with a density of 1.12. Add 2 times the volume of ethanol, let it stand for 24 hours, filter the precipitate, concentrate at 80°C and a pressure of 0.02Mpa to a liquid extract with a density of 1.12, and filter to obtain a moisturizing and flavoring additive. Take 10g of the additive, dissolve it in 20kg of distilled water, spray it on 500kg of shredded tobacco, and roll it into cigarettes.

Embodiment 2

[0050] Take Epimedium, Eclipta, Sweet Almond, Motherwort, Dandelion, and Juhong respectively, grind them and mix them evenly according to the ratio of 1:0.75:0.5:0.5:0.5:1, add 6 times the amount of pure water, soak for 6 hours, 70 ℃ heat reflux extraction for 1.5h, a total of 3 extractions, combined 3 extracts, 75 ℃, concentrated under the conditions of pressure 0.06Mpa to a density of 1.11 liquid extract. Add 2 times the volume of ethanol, let it stand for 36 hours, filter the precipitate, concentrate at 75°C and a pressure of 0.06Mpa to a liquid extract with a density of 1.11, and filter to obtain a moisturizing and flavoring additive. Take 50g of the additive, dissolve it in 20kg of distilled water, spray it on 500kg of shredded tobacco, and roll it into cigarettes.

Abstract

The invention discloses a moisturizing and flavor-enhancing additive for cigarettes as well as a preparation method and application thereof, wherein the additive comprises traditional Chinese medicine extract compositions or compound traditional Chinese medicine extracts; and the traditional Chinese medicines comprise herba epimedii, eclipta, sweet almond, leonurus, dandelion and pummelo peel. The moisturizing and flavor-enhancing additive is prepared according to the following steps of: respectively extracting and refining the herba epimedii, the eclipta, the sweet almond, the leonurus, the dandelion and the pummelo peel with solvent, and concocting the moisturizing and flavor-enhancing additive according to the proportion of 1-8: 0.8-6: 0..5-4: 0.3-4: 0.3-5: 1, or extracting and refining to prepare the moisturizing and flavor-enhancing additive after mixing the herba epimedii, the eclipta, the sweet almond, the leonurus, the dandelion and the pummelo peel according to the proportion of 0.5-8: 0.5-6: 0.2-4: 0.3-4: 0.3-5: 1. The additive is added to tobacco shreds, tobacco stems and slices of cigarettes and the addition proportion is 0.002-1%wt. After the additive is added to the tobacco shreds, tobacco stems and slices of cigarettes, the moisture can be maintained under normal-temperature dry environment, so that favorable physical moisturizing function is provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of tobacco additives and their preparation and application, in particular to a cigarette additive containing a combination of traditional Chinese medicine extracts or compound Chinese medicine extracts, which has the effect of moisturizing and enhancing flavor, and its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] Humectants refer to substances that are added to tobacco during the processing of tobacco products to enhance the moisturizing properties of tobacco and tobacco products, increase softness, and reduce damage. The humectant can improve the physical properties of leaves and shredded tobacco, increase the toughness, elasticity and water retention performance of cigarette products, and reduce the process loss during processing. At present, polyhydroxy substances such as glycerin, propylene glycol, sorbitol, and xylitol are mainly used as humectants in the cigarette industry in my country. The...
