Tobacco stem porous particle and application thereof in cigarette

Abstract

The invention discloses a tobacco stem porous particle and application thereof in cigarettes. The tobacco stem porous particles with a particle size of 20 meshes to 60 meshes are prepared by using microwave expanded tobacco stem powder with a particle size of 100 meshes to 160 meshes as raw materials, using one kind or several kinds of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl starch as binding agent and adopting a fluidized bed top spraying technology. The particle has the advantages that the surface is rough, the specific surface area is larger, the effective contact area of particle materials and cigarette smoke can be obviously improved, and hydrogen cyanide in the cigarette smoke can be selectively adsorbed; the particle not only has a function of reducing the harm, but also can effectively reduce the irritation of the cigarette smoke and improve the remaining flavor and has an efficacy of improving the smoke sweetness; the production process is simple, the operability and the standardization capability are strong, the raw materials are easy to obtain, the cost is low, the realization of industrial production is facilitated and the application prospect is good.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarette materials, and in particular relates to a porous tobacco stem particle capable of improving the smoking quality of cigarettes. At the same time, the invention also relates to the application of the porous particle in cigarette processing. Background technique [0002] Tobacco stems account for about 20% to 30% of the total weight of tobacco leaves, and their components are mainly cell wall substances such as cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and pectin. At present, tobacco stems are mainly used as fillers and raw materials for reconstituted tobacco leaves in cigarettes. Since tobacco stems contain a large amount of cellulose and lignin, adding too much stems to cigarettes will have a negative impact on the taste of cigarettes. . To this end, tobacco science and technology workers have conducted a lot of research on the processing of cut stems, aiming at improving their utilization in cigarettes...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Cigarette material researchers have developed some filter rod granular materials by using natural plant materials. Some effects have been achieved in cigarette flavoring and harm reduction, but there are still the following disadvantages: (1) The plant material is directly crushed into particles, the shape of the particles is uneven, and the physical properties are unstable. When the granules are easily broken, a large amount of dust is generated, and the utilization rate of the material is not high; (2) The granules are prepared by the extrusion method, and the added binder is easy to embed the holes in the plant material itself. The contact area is limited, and its damage reduction and coke reduction effects are limited. At the same time, the prepared particles are relatively compact and hard, which is not conducive to the preparation of cigarette composite filter rods.
