Composite additive for improving physical moisture retention property of reconstituted tobacco

Abstract

The invention discloses a composite additive for improving the physical moisture retention property of reconstituted tobacco. The composite additive comprises, by mass, 5-10% of polyethylene glycol, 2-4% of propylene glycol, 1-3% of tobacco extracts, 1-3% of caramelization reaction product, 1-3% of maillard product and the balance water. The composite additive is a water-soluble component, polyhydric alcohols, such as polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol, in the composite additive and moisture in the reconstituted tobacco can form a stable hydrogen bond, the molecular potential energy is reduced, and the stability of the moisture in the reconstituted tobacco is improved. The caramelization reaction product can be complexed with the reconstituted tobacco to form a stable structure by utilizing the charge effect of the caramelization reaction product. The composite additive is good in uniformity and stability, reconstituted tobacco coating liquid can be prevented from going bad, badsmell cannot be generated in the burning process, the defect that the moisture of the reconstituted tobacco is greatly influenced by the humidity of the outside environment is overcome, and the physical moisture retention property of the reconstituted tobacco is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tobacco spices, in particular to a compound additive for improving the physical moisture retention performance of reconstituted tobacco leaves. Background technique [0002] Reconstituted tobacco is an important part of modern cigarette formula. It has a loose structure, large surface area, and sufficient combustion. Therefore, adding it to cigarettes can improve the combustion performance of cigarettes. However, due to the loose structure and large surface area of ​​reconstituted tobacco leaves, many active ingredients in the original tobacco leaves are lost during the manufacturing process, so the physical moisture retention performance becomes poor, and its own moisture content is greatly affected by the temperature and humidity of the external environment. If it is too low, it is easy to break, if the moisture is too high, it is easy to stick, the filling value will decrease, and the processing perfor...

Problems solved by technology

However, the solubility of the components of such macromolecules and water is not good, and at the same time, the combustion process is prone to produce bad smell

It is also reported that adding water-soluble vegetable oils such as sunflower oil, jojoba oil, hemp seed oil, water-soluble corn oil and other components forms a protective film on the surface of tobacco to reduce the effect of water loss. However, such components contain a large amount of unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid and oleic acid, and liquid wax, which will produce irritating and pungent taste during tobacco burning, which is not conducive to the taste of tobacco.
