Problems solved by technology

Cigarette material researchers have developed some filter rod granular materials by using natural plant materials. The main method is to directly crush the plant material into particles between 20 and 80 mesh, or prepare the plant material into particles by extrusion. Although some effects have been achieved in cigarette flavoring and harm reduction, there are still some disadvantages in the following aspects: (1) The plant material is directly crushed into particles, the shape of the particles is uneven, and the physical properties are unstable. The granules are easy to be crushed during molding, resulting in a large amount of dust, and the utilization rate of the material is not high; (2) The granules are prepared by extrusion, and the added binder can easily embed the pores of the plant material itself, and the granules and cigarette smoke The contact area is limited, and its harm reduction and coke reduction effect is 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.
In the prior art, there have been no related reports on preparing cocoa shells into porous particles and applying them to cigarettes, which is also a technical problem to be solved in this field

Abstract

The invention discloses cocoa shell porous particles and application thereof in cigarettes. Cocoa shell powder with 8-10% of moisture and 100-160 mesh in particle size is used as raw material, any of sodium carboxymethyl starch and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose is used as adhesive, and the 20-60-meshed cocoa shell porous particles is made by the fluidized bed top-spraying process. The particles has rough surface and high specific surface area, effective contact area of the particles with cigarette smoke is significantly increased, and ammonia and crotonaldehyde in the cigarette smoke can be selectively absorbed; the cocoa shell porous particles has the function of harm reduction and can enrich natural flavor of tobacco and enable cigarette smoke to be less irritating. The cocoa shell porous particles and application thereof in cigarettes have the advantages that the production process is simple, production is highly operable and standard, raw materials are easy to obtain, the cost is low, industrial production is easy to achieve, and the cocoa shell porous particles has promising application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarette materials, in particular to a cocoa shell porous 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] Cocoa is one of the three major beverage plants in the world, native to tropical America. Cocoa beans are the main raw materials for the manufacture of cocoa powder and cocoa butter, and are also a commonly used spice, widely used in the food industry and the technical fields of flavors and fragrances for tobacco. Cocoa husk is the residue after processing cocoa products, and can be used to prepare cocoa husk tincture, which is used in cigarette flavoring. Cocoa shells not only contain aroma components, but also contain a large amount of cellulose and lignin, which can be prepared into corresponding adsorption materials and added to cigarette...
