Method for improving cigarette soot whiteness

Abstract

The invention provides a method for improving cigarette soot whiteness. Tobacco raw materials include mature tobacco with the potassium-chlorine ratio large than 4, and papermaking process reconstituted tobacco at least accounting for 5% of the tobacco raw materials. Finished product tobacco is obtained by conducting vacuum moisture regaining, loose moisture regaining, screening and casing, shredding, the leaf and tobacco temperature increase procedure before drying, the leaf and tobacco drying procedure, leaf and tobacco winnowing and perfuming. A collimator of the appropriate specification is selected to conduct cigarette rolling on finished product cut tobacco, and it is ensured that the density change rate of finished product tobacco distribution at the ends and in the middles of the cigarettes is smaller than 11.5%. By controlling the cigarette production process, finished product cut tobacco can have the appropriate moisture content, an appropriate filling value and appropriate elasticity, and the problem that the tobacco combustibility is poor is solved; by selecting cigarette rolling paper matched with cut tobacco and controlling relatively-low-weight cigarettes, combustion of smoked cut tobacco of cigarettes is more complete, the cigarette soot whiteness is obviously improved, and the tar release amount and the CO release amount are decreased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarette production, and in particular relates to a method for improving the ash whiteness of cigarettes. Background technique [0002] When consumers buy cigarettes, they are very concerned about the color of the ash after burning. Cigarettes with whitish ash can be favored by consumers more. However, the ash of many domestic cigarettes is now black and gray. The color of the ash after cigarette smoking reflects whether the shredded tobacco is completely burned when the cigarette is smoked. The whiter the ash color, the more completely the shredded tobacco is burned; and usually, the more completely the cigarette is burned, the more fragrant the cigarette will be, giving you a sense of satisfaction. Stronger, with lower tar and CO emissions from cigarettes. On the other hand, the shredded tobacco of cigarettes with blackened soot is incompletely burned, and the aroma of cigarettes cannot be fully penet...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The invention provides a method for improving the ash whiteness of cigarettes. Through the selection of raw materials and the control of the cigarette production process, the shredded tobacco can reach a suitable moisture content, filling value and elasticity, and the problem of poor combustibility of shredded tobacco is solved. Cigarette paper adapted to shredded tobacco controls the relatively light weight of cigarettes, so that the shredded tobacco of the smoked cigarette burns more completely, the whiteness of cigarette ash is significantly improved, and the amount of tar and CO released is reduced
