Method for preparing cigarette filter additive from peppermint

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a cigarette filter additive from peppermint. The method includes taking freeze-dried peppermint leaves, tobacco flower petals and Hongda tobacco leaves as main raw materials, grinding the three raw materials by low-temperature superfine grinding, adding tobacco pectin powder into raw material powder, and mixing the materials prior to extrusion, crushing, shaping and screening so as to form granular materials 30-60 mesh in granularity. The method has the advantages that the granular materials are added into tobacco shreds of a cigarette filter according to a dosage of 1-3 mg / mm, so that sweetness and saliva secretion promotion of cigarette smoke can be increased, cigarette smoke pungency is reduced, cigarette flavor is enriched, and smoking quality of cigarettes can be improved remarkably.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarette auxiliary materials, and relates to cigarette filter tip materials, in particular to a method for preparing cigarette filter stick additives by using peppermint as a main raw material. Background technique [0002] With the public's increasing attention to smoking and health issues, producing low-tar cigarettes, reducing the content of harmful substances in cigarette smoke, and improving cigarette smoking safety have become one of the main research directions for tobacco researchers. [0003] Through a lot of research and experiments, it has been able to achieve the purpose of reducing the harm and tar of cigarettes through the design of leaf group formula and the system design of tobacco accessories. In the process of leaf group formula design, materials such as tobacco flakes, expanded stems, and expanded tobacco particles are used to effectively reduce the tar content of cigarettes; The appl...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] For the one-step preparation process, there are two disadvantages: 1) the surface of the prepared particles is covered with a polymer film layer, which to a certain extent blocks the migration of the aroma substances of the plant materials to the cigarette smoke; 2) in the process of granulation, due to The repeated washing and elution of the plant material by the airflow has lost most of the original aroma substances in the plant material

[0008] For the two-step preparation process, there are three disadvantages: 1) the high drying temperature can easily cause the loss and destruction of the plant material aroma substances; 2) if it is hot air drying, the hot air will also take away part of the aroma substances in the plant material; The wet granules formed by French granulation contain a lot of water. During the drying process, part of the aroma substances in the plant materials will be lost with the evaporation of water.

[0009] As for the selection and combination of raw materials, the harmony between the various plant materials and the aroma of cigarettes disclosed in the prior art needs to be improved, and the original aroma of tobacco is not rich enough and needs to be improved.
