Cigarette paper humectant and application thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a cigarette paper humectant and application of the cigarette paper humectant. The humectant refers to macromolecule acid mucopolysaccharide having the molecular formula-(C14H2ONNaO11)n and being in a linear polysaccharide structure comprising repetition structures of N-amide-glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid. The acid mucopolysaccharide is applied in the cigarette paper humectants. The novel cigarette paper humectant can realize the relatively good wetting keeping effect with the small adding amount, and solves the problem that the wetting keeping effect is obviously reduced as a cigarette product is punched to be diluted in the prior art; the humectant and cigarette paper are combined tightly, stably and uniformly; the taste of the cigarette product can be kept for a long time under a natural condition; the cigarette smoke wetting feeling is enhanced, and the comfort level of smoking is promoted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarette paper processing, and in particular relates to a humectant for cigarette paper and an application thereof. Background technique [0002] Cigarette paper, as an auxiliary material of cigarettes, plays an important role in cigarette production. In recent years, cigarette companies have actively carried out technological research and development in tobacco profit retention in order to highlight their market positioning. For example, most commonly used moisturizers are polyols such as glycerin, propylene glycol, and sorbitol. This type of moisturizer is hygroscopic and moisturizing, with low price and high safety, but the disadvantage is that the moisturizing effect is easily affected by the humidity of the environment. When the relative humidity of the environment is too low, the effect of retaining water molecules decreases, which hinders the market development of cigarette products, especially t...

For example, most commonly used moisturizers are polyols such as glycerin, propylene glycol, and sorbitol. This type of moisturizer is hygroscopic and moisturizing, with low price and high safety, but the disadvantage is that the moisturizing effect is easily affected by the humidity of the environment. When the relative humidity of the environment is too low, the effect of retaining water molecules is reduced, which hinders the market development of cigarette products, especially the northern cigarette market

[0003] Existing humectants are mainly added to shredded tobacco, but in order to reduce the tar in cigarettes, the method of perforating and diluting cigarette paper is usually used, so the effect of humectant added to cigarettes is significantly reduced or the humectant in shredded tobacco is significantly reduced. A large amount of additive
