Tobacco moistening agent and application thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a tobacco moistening agent and application thereof. After alkali metal salt, sea algae extracts, natural moisturizing factors, amino acid and polyhydric alcohols are evenly mixed under a heating condition, a required tobacco moistening agent is obtained. The tobacco moistening agent can be applied to pipe tobacco, paper-making mode reconstruction tobacco, cigarette paper, a cigarette holder and other tobacco products. Taking the pipe tobacco as a sample, if the weight of 0.5-2% of the pipe tobacco is added, the pipe tobacco has the function of obviously keeping moisture of the pipe tobacco, enables cigarette to keep original style, increases smoke wetness, reduces stimulation, and obviously improves comfort of a throat. Raw materials of products are non-toxic and harmless, sufficient in source, simple in technological process, convenient to manufacture, low in cost, and simple in adding technology, does not change existing cigarette production technology, is beneficial to improving core competitiveness of an enterprise, and brings substantial benefits for the enterprise.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarette additives, and specifically relates to a novel tobacco humectant, and at the same time, the invention also relates to the specific application of the tobacco humectant in tobacco processing. Background technique [0002] The smoking quality and safety of cigarette products are the most important factors for consumers to choose to buy. my country has a vast territory and great differences in climatic conditions. Under the premise of a certain moisture retention performance, the smoking quality of cigarettes of the same brand varies greatly at different times and in different regions; Harmful components in the air have become one of the focuses of people's attention. While reducing the harmful components of smoke, it will inevitably affect the style and smoking quality of cigarettes, especially dry smoke, increased stimulation, and reduced throat comfort. question. In order to reduce the differenc...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In the production of cigarettes, most of the humectants used are polyol compounds, such as glycerin, propylene glycol, xylitol, sorbitol, etc. Among them, glycerin and propylene glycol have better moisturizing properties, but their prices are relatively high, which increases the cost of cigarettes At the same time, the acrolein produced by the combustion and decomposition of glycerin will make the taste worse, so it is not used much in cigarettes.

Although the prices of xylitol and sorbitol are relatively low, their moisturizing properties are not as good as glycerin and propylene glycol. At present, propylene glycol is mostly used as a humectant in domestic cigarette production
