Tobacco shred preparation process capable of improving smoking comfort of cigarettes

Abstract

The invention discloses a tobacco shred preparation process capable of improving the smoking comfort of cigarettes. The tobacco shred preparation process comprises the following processing steps: carrying out primary loosening and moisture regaining, leaf selecting and secondary loosening and moisture regaining on tobacco leaves, premixing the leaves, carrying out screening, carrying out materialadding, carrying out leaf storage on the tobacco leaves after material adding, carrying out shredding, carrying out heating and humidifying on the tobacco shreds, carrying out drying on the tobacco shreds, and carrying out premixing; carrying out storage on the premixed tobacco shreds, thus obtaining tobacco shred alcohol and modules; carrying out the same steps, adding tobacco shred alcohol and the module tobacco shreds into the premixed tobacco shreds, perfuming the tobacco shreds, and carrying out storage. After softened water is replaced with activated water, the mouthfeel of the cigarettes can be improved, and the dryness and astringency feeling of the oral cavity is reduced. The sensory comfort score value of the cigarettes including the oral cavity irritation, the oral cavity aftertaste, the throat irritation, the nasal cavity miscellaneous qi and the smoke feeling can be improved by 2.9%-17.3%. Due to secondary moisture regaining, the impurities having influences on the smoke are removed, the tobacco shred alcohol and modules are adopted as the external mixing ingredients, the alcoholized tobacco shreds can effectively improve the inherent quality of the tobacco shreds, andthus the comfort during the smoking process of the cigarettes is improved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cigarette shred processing process, in particular to a cigarette shredded process capable of effectively improving the comfort of smoking cigarettes. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the consumer demand for high- and mid-range cigarettes has shifted from the original pursuit of satisfaction to the pursuit of comfort during smoking. This change in consumption and smoking habits requires the concept of cigarette product processing methods to be updated and developed simultaneously with the market. YC / T 497-2014 "Methods for the Sensory Evaluation of Chinese Cigarette Styles in Cigarettes" stipulates that the comfort characteristic indicators are oral irritation, oral residue, astringency, throat irritation, throat dryness, and nasal irritation. Therefore, some scholars will Comfort is defined as clean mouth, fresh body fluid, delicate and round, clean aftertaste, and less irritation. According to reports, in addition...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At present, the water used in the production process of cigarettes in the industry is generally softened water, that is, the tap water is treated with ion exchange, only the hardness is reduced, but the total ion content remains unchanged, and the sodium ion in the softened water increases dozens of times. Sodium ions will affect oral residues; in general, demineralized water is a kind of complex macromolecular water, the water penetration of macromolecular groups is weak, the solubility is poor, and it is difficult to be dissolved, absorbed, and participate in reactions, etc.

like figure 1 As shown in the conventional process flow, the leaves are measured and sliced, loosened and dampened, premixed, screened and fed, stored, shredded, heated and humidified by shredded leaves, dried by shredded leaves, premixed by shredded leaves, blended by shredded leaves, shredded tobacco Flavoring storage and other processes, the water used in the production process is softened water, the content of sodium ions in the softened water is high, because sodium ions have an impact on the smoking quality of cigarettes, the higher the sodium ions, the greater the dryness and astringency of the mouth; and During the silk making process, the dried silk is pre-mixed or directly flavored, and the dried silk is not alcoholized, and the smoke is irritating and the residue is large
