A preparation method of tomato extract and its application in cigarette production

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a tomato extract and application of the tomato extract in cigarette production. The preparation method comprises the following steps: juicing fresh tomatoes, adding honey and amino acids into the fresh juice and then stirring the juice to react to obtain a tomato extract precursor, then adding potassium hydroxide and a catalyst into the precursor, heating the precursor to react to obtain an original extract of the tomato extract, adding ethanol into the original extract to extract, filtering an extracting solution, concentrating the filtrate at a reduced pressure to obtain ethanol concentrate, then adding deionized water into the filtrate to distill and collecting a fraction so as to obtain a fraction I and a residue; adding residual ethyl acetate into the residue for extraction, filtering the extracting solution, concentrating the filtrate at the reduced pressure to obtain ethyl acetate concentrate, then adding deionized water into the concentrate to distill and collecting a fraction so as to obtain a fraction II; and uniformly mixing the fractions I and II to obtain the tomato extract. The tomato extract applied to cigarettes is quite obvious in effect, and can enhance the aroma harmony of the cigarettes, increase the re-sweet feel and sweet feel of smoke, reduce the irritation of the smoke of the cigarettes and effectively improve the comfort level of the cigarettes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarette additives, and in particular relates to a preparation method of tomato extract and its application in cigarette production. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of people's health awareness, low-tar cigarettes are increasingly favored by consumers. In order to meet the needs of consumers, a series of low-tar cigarette products have been launched in the market one after another. A single reduction of tar is not difficult for tobacco workers today. Under the vigorous promotion of the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration, researchers have mastered a series of methods for reducing tar: improving the air permeability of cigarette paper, using filters with different material structures Mouth, perforated dilution, expanded cut tobacco stems and tobacco flakes. On the one hand, the technical development of tar reduction has been widely developed and applied; on the other hand, the probl...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In order to solve the problems in the prior art that the tomato extract has single components, expensive raw materials, and the direction of extraction cannot meet the needs of consumers, resulting in the inability of the tomato extract for tobacco to be better applied to cigarette spice formulas, the present invention provides a tomato extract The preparation method and its application in cigarette production can effectively improve the smoking flavor of cigarettes
