A Novel Tobacco Moisturizer and Its Application

Abstract

The invention discloses a novel tobacco humectant and a novel tobacco humectant application method. The novel tobacco humectant is natural propolis extractive or mixing solution of the natural propolis extractive and propylene glycol, glycerol or sorbitol, and the weight proportion of the natural propolis extractive and water, the propylene glycol, the glycerol or the sorbitol is 10-90%:90-10%. The novel tobacco humectant is sprayed evenly on tobacco, and the spraying proportion is 0.1-1.0% of the weight of the tobacco. The moisture content in the tobacco is measured according to the method stipulated by YC / T28.8-1996 Moisture Measurement of Cigarette Physical Properties. The result shows that the effect of the novel tobacco humectant is better than the widely-used traditional humectant such as the propylene glycol, the glycerol or the sorbitol at present.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a novel tobacco humectant and its application, belonging to the technical field of tobacco processing. Background technique [0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards in our country, consumers are paying more and more attention to the smoking quality and safety of cigarettes.
