Cigarette blast bead and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a cigarette blast bead and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the steps of mixing and hot-melting the gel shell materials of, by weight part, 10 parts of water, 1-2 parts of gelatin, 1-2 parts of Arabic gum, 0.2-1 parts of modified starch, 0.5-2 parts of chitosan and 0.1-0.5 part of sodium alginate, and keeping mixing during the melting process to obtain shell gel solution; mixing, by weight part, 1-2 parts of essence and 5-10 parts of light liquid paraffin to obtain core gel solution; in a concentric dropping device, feeding the core gel solution from the inner layer and the shell gel solution from the outer layer to form concentric fluid column flowing inside coolant so that drops can shrink into beads under the action of surface tension to obtain primary wet beads; performing calcification, dyeing, oil absorption and drying on the primary wet beads to obtain the cigarette blast bead. The drop shaping manner solves the problems of shell thickness non-uniformity and lack of roundness during existing national blast bead production and enables the finished cigarette blast bead to be attractive in appearance and uniform in shell thickness, and when pinched up, being uniform in stress and good in hand feeling.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarettes, and in particular relates to popping beads for cigarettes and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] The role of adding flavors and fragrances in cigarettes is to improve the physical and chemical properties of cigarettes, round aroma, modify cigarette aroma, improve smoking taste, and establish the style of products. To some extent, it affects consumers' sense of smell, taste and touch, and enhances Product acceptability. The existing method of adding flavor is mainly to directly add flavor to shredded tobacco, or add flavor thread rich in flavor to the filter tip. But the shortcoming of above-mentioned method is: essence retention time is short, and cigarette shelf-life is short, and essence releases unevenly. It is an ideal method to encapsulate the flavor of tobacco and add flavor popping beads to the filter. It can not only prolong the retention period of the essen...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the disadvantages of the above method are: the essence retention time is short, the shelf life of cigarettes is short, and the essence is released unevenly

At present, there are related products on the market in China, but the roundness of the popping beads produced is not enough, and there is no beautiful appearance; the wall thickness of the shell is uneven. On the one hand, when the popping beads are damaged by force, the distribution of flavor in the cigarette holder is uneven. It leads to a certain difference in flavor absorption. On the other hand, the thinner wall is easy to be damaged under external pressure, and the thinner wall is prone to flavor leakage, which is not durable for storage.

Moreover, the brittleness of the popping beads is not enough, and it will not make a pleasant sound when pinched, which reduces the comfort of smoking experience
