Microwave treatment method for heating non-combustion tobacco shreds

Abstract

The invention provides a microwave treatment method for heating non-combustion tobacco shreds. The method comprises the following steps: placing the tobacco shreds in a microwave reacting oven for treatment, wherein the temperature of the microwave oven is set to be 50-250 DEG C, the power is set to be 50-800 W, and the treatment time is 5-180 min. According to the method, the tobacco shreds are treated by adopting microwave reaction, after the treatment, the moisture of the tobacco shreds is reduced to 4% from 12%, and the heating non-combustion sensory evaluation shows that the smoke amountis obviously increased, and the temperature of the smoke is mediate; and after the microwave treatment, the tobacco shreds generate rich aroma ingredients which release easily under the heating non-combustion state, the smoke aroma is rich, the smoke characteristics of the traditional cigarettes are increased, the scorch aroma is obvious, and the requirements of the heating non-combustion tobaccoshreds are satisfied.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of heat-not-burn shredded tobacco, in particular to a microwave processing method for heat-not-burn shredded tobacco. Background technique [0002] Compared with traditional cigarettes, heat-not-burn cigarettes have higher requirements on the moisture content of shredded tobacco. Cigarettes made of treated shredded tobacco of traditional cigarettes have small smoke volume, high moisture content, and It is hot and cannot meet the sensory requirements of heat-not-burn cigarettes. Moreover, the aroma components of smoke released by shredded tobacco in the heat-not-burn state are not rich enough, which is quite different from the sensory quality of traditional cigarette smoke. The smoking body of existing commercially available heat-not-burn cigarettes, in order to avoid problems such as excessive water content and sample rolling, such as the preparation of reconstituted tobacco leaves, and shredded tobacco as a smoking ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0002] Compared with traditional cigarettes, heat-not-burn cigarettes have higher requirements on the moisture content of shredded tobacco. Cigarettes made of treated shredded tobacco of traditional cigarettes have small smoke volume, high moisture content, and Hot, unable to meet the sensory requirements of heat-not-burn cigarettes

Moreover, the aroma components of smoke released by shredded tobacco in the heat-not-burn state are not rich enough, which is far behind the sensory quality of traditional cigarette smoke.

The smoking body of existing commercially available heat-not-burn cigarettes, in order to avoid problems such as excessive water content and sample rolling, such as the preparation of reconstituted tobacco leaves, and shredded tobacco as a smoking body often has too high moisture content and low smoke volume, so adding The content of fuming agent is high, which causes problems such as difficulty in rolling and hot smoke; another example is the preparation of tobacco flakes, and the added glycerin is about 20%, which lacks the original aroma of tobacco and insufficient burnt aroma.

Several disadvantages of using shredded tobacco: too high moisture content, small amount of smoke, and a large amount of smoke that needs to be added, causing difficulty in rolling
