Expansion tobacco chemical additives and preparation process and application thereof

Abstract

The composition of said invented additive contains (wt%) glycosylamine 0.1-5%, amino acid 0.1-8%, weak ammonium salt 0.2-10%, ammonia water 1-15%, organic amine 0.1-10%, dicarbonyl organic catalyst 0.01-1%, tobacco leaf hydrolysis reaction material 0.5-10%, polybasic alcohol 5-30%, fruit reducing sugar 1-15% and the rest is water. After the tobacco is ordered and cut and before the tobacco is puffed, the additive can be added, its addition quantity is 0.2%-5% of weight of shredded tobacco, and its addition temp. is 20-50 deg.C.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to tobacco additives, more specifically the present invention relates to a chemical additive for expanded tobacco. Simultaneously, the present invention also relates to a preparation method of said chemical additive and its application in cigarette production Background technique [0002] As the global anti-smoking movement is increasing, low-harm cigarettes have become a development trend; expanded tobacco is one of the most important raw materials for manufacturing low-harm cigarettes. After the tobacco is expanded, the density decreases, the volume of the tobacco leaves increases, and the filling power increases, thereby reducing the consumption of shredded tobacco in cigarettes, reducing the consumption of tobacco leaves, and reducing tar, and has great economic benefits. After expansion, the contact area between cut tobacco per unit weight and air is greatly increased, the combustion rate is accelerated, and the comb...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, due to the shortcomings of expanded tobacco, such as greater self-stimulation, heavy burnt gas, light and not rich smoke, the smoke of cigarette products is greatly diluted, the aroma is affected, and the miscellaneous gas is exposed, and the taste is poor. The richness of cigarette aroma and the thickness of smoke have also decreased significantly, and these have become bottlenecks restricting the improvement of cigarette product quality
