Tobacco porous particle and application thereof in cigarette

Abstract

The invention discloses a tobacco porous particle and application thereof in cigarettes. The tobacco porous particles with a particle size of 20 meshes to 60 meshes are prepared by crushing flue-cured tobacco and aromatic tobacco into power with a particle size of 100 meshes to 160 meshes, adding glucose powder as raw materials, using gelatin and xanthan gum 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 lager, the effective contact area of particle materials and cigarette smoke can be obviously improved, and phenol in the cigarette smoke can be selectively adsorbed; the particle not only can enrich natural tobacco flavor, but also can has the 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 porous tobacco particles 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 is an important economic crop, mainly divided into flue-cured tobacco, air-cured tobacco and oriental tobacco. Chinese-style cigarettes are flue-cured cigarettes, and their main raw material is flue-cured tobacco. Flue-cured tobacco is originally produced in Virginia, USA, and is called Virginia-type tobacco internationally. This kind of tobacco leaves are heated and baked by installing fire tubes in the barn. After the tobacco leaves are baked, the leaves are golden in color, bright in luster and mellow in taste. Oriented tobacco leaves are mainly produced in Turkey, Bulgaria, Greece, Thailand and other countries. Because the ...

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.
