Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention requires priority of a Chinese invention patent application with a filing date of January 13, 2020, application number CN 2020100296400, and a title of the invention “Capsule for flavored tobacco and method for manufacturing the same”.

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of cigarette processing technology. More specifically, the present invention relates to a capsule for flavored cigarettes and also to a method for manufacturing said capsule for flavored cigarettes. Background Technology

[0003] Most conventional cigarettes currently sold on the market have the disadvantage of slightly lacking comfort in the aftertaste and having a distinct dry sensation upon inhalation. Therefore, it is essential to improve comfort when smoking by compensating for this defect through technologies related to smoke moisturization or moisturization. Here, moisturization methods generally involve adding glycerin, propylene glycol, xylitol, or sorbitol. Although these polyalcohol-based moisturizing agents maintain the moisture content of the tobacco during processing to improve its processing resistance, since these additives are added directly to the tobacco, they participate in combustion when smoked, introducing various other gases into the smoke and potentially affecting the sensory quality of the cigarette. However, if smoke moisturization is performed on the filter portion, there are no defects in this regard. Capsules, also referred to as flavor dropping pills or brittle beads, refer to small beads containing liquid inserted into a cigarette filter in the form of capsules. By encapsulating liquid solvents of different flavors, the capsule is pressed by hand to burst it while the smoker is inhaling the cigarette, causing the flavor liquid inside to flow out, and the flavor components are released under the action of the cigarette's main smoke. The application of capsules to cigarette filter sticks enables the control of the flavor during cigarette inhalation and provides a distinct flavoring effect, which can satisfy consumers seeking unique flavors in cigarettes and offers a pleasant inhalation experience including comfort and satisfaction.

[0004] To date, no tobacco capsule capable of replenishing moisture to smoke while also providing fragrance has appeared. Regarding existing technical defects, the inventor has completed the present invention through extensive experimental research and analysis. Prior art literature

[0024] According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step B, the density of the capsule film solution for flavored tobacco is 1.0 to 1.3 g / cm³ 3 am.

[0025] According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step C, the concentration of the aqueous ethanol solution is 85 to 95% based on volume.

[0026] The present invention will be described in detail below.

[0027] The present invention relates to a capsule for flavored tobacco.

[0028] The above-described flavored tobacco capsule consists of a flavor liquid core and a capsule membrane surrounding the liquid core.

[0029] In the present invention, the aroma of the flavor liquid core should be understood as a fragrance provided to the smoke, and the moisture of the flavor liquid core should be understood as capable of enhancing the moisture sensation of the smoke. The flavor liquid core should be understood as a liquid core that imparts a fragrance to the smoke and enhances the moisture sensation when the cigarette is inhaled.

[0030] In the present invention, the flavor liquid core solution is composed of pure oil, tobacco essence flavoring, and an emulsifier in a weight ratio of 10:0.1 to 5.0:0.1 to 5.0.

[0031] Here, since the primary function of the above-mentioned tobacco essence flavoring in the flavor liquid core is to provide fragrance to the smoke, any essence flavoring that possesses this function and does not cause any adverse effects on the quality of the tobacco can be used in the present invention, and such essence flavorings are also all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] The tobacco essence flavoring used in the present invention is a tobacco essence flavoring commonly used in the tobacco industry, and is one or more tobacco essence flavorings selected from blueberry essence, pineapple essence, mango essence, mint essence, milk essence, coffee essence, tea scent essence, rose essence, tobacco essence, tangerine peel essence, or sweet scent essence. These are all products currently sold on the market, for example, Piaoxiangwen Blueberry essence sold by Edible Essence Co., Ltd. under the product name Blueberry Essence, Piaoxiangwen; Rose essence sold by Edible Essence Co., Ltd. under the product name Rose Essence, Henan Qingfei It is a dermal essence that the company sells under the product name Dermal Essence.

[0033] The main function of the above-mentioned emulsifier in the flavor liquid core is to convert the immiscible pure oil and essence flavor into a uniform dispersed phase and to significantly reduce the interfacial tension between the two phases of oil and water, thereby allowing the immiscible essence flavor and pure oil to form a stable emulsion. Therefore, any emulsifier that possesses such a function and does not cause any adverse effects on the quality of the tobacco can be used in the present invention, and such emulsifiers are also all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] The emulsifier used in the present invention is one or more edible emulsifiers selected from monoglycerides, lecithin, sodium stearyl lactylate, calcium stearyl lactylate, diacetyl tartate monoglycerides, sucrose lipid esters, or distilled monoglycerides. These are all products currently available on the market, for example, Henan Midan'er Monoglyceride sold by a trading limited company under the product name monoglyceride, Shide, Henan Province Diacetyl tartate monoglyceride sold by Liuzhou Aigerfu Industrial Limited Company under the product name Diacetyl Tartate Monoglyceride It is a sucrose fat ester sold by Food Science & Technology Co., Ltd. under the product name sucrose fat ester.

[0035] In the present invention, when the amounts of pure water and emulsifier used are within the above range, if the amount of tobacco essence flavoring is lower than 0.1, the aroma and flavor characteristics are not distinct; if the amount of tobacco essence flavoring is higher than 5.0, the emulsification is not complete, which is disadvantageous for dropping. Therefore, the amount of tobacco essence flavoring used is most reasonable in the range of 0.1 to 5.0, preferably 0.6 to 4.2, and more preferably 1.4 to 3.2.

[0036] When the amount of pure and tobacco essence flavoring used is within the above range, if the amount of emulsifier used is lower than 0.1, the emulsification is incomplete, which is disadvantageous for dropping; if the amount of emulsifier used is higher than 5.0, there is an emulsifier smell, which affects the quality of inhalation. Therefore, the amount of emulsifier used is suitable to be 0.1 to 5.0, preferably 0.8 to 4.0, and more preferably 1.6 to 3.4.

[0037] In the present invention, the capsule membrane should be understood as a cross-linked polymer in which these molecules are bonded under light irradiation, and furthermore, it is a capsule membrane formed by transforming from a colloidal state to a solid state.

[0038] The above capsule membrane is composed of one or more acrylic compounds selected from bio-based epoxy resin, polyurethane acrylate, polyester acrylic resin, polyether acrylic resin, dodecyl acrylate, or acrylic resin, and a photosensitizer.

[0039] In the present invention, the basic function of the bio-based epoxy resin in the capsule membrane material is to constitute the basic framework of the capsule membrane material. The bio-based epoxy resin used in the present invention is a product currently sold on the market, for example, a bio-based epoxy resin sold by Sicomin under the product names GreenPoxy 56, GreenPoxy 33, InfuGreen 810, Surf Clear Evo, and Foaming Epoxy.

[0040] In the present invention, the acrylic compound should be understood as an acrylic acid compound comprising acrylates and acrylate polymers. The basic function of the acrylic compound in the capsule membrane material is to control the mechanical strength of the capsule membrane by varying its content, while simultaneously participating in the photocuring reaction to improve the physical and mechanical performance of the bio-based epoxy resin.

[0041] The acrylic compounds used in the present invention are selected from polyurethane acrylates, polyester acrylic resins, polyether acrylic resins, dodecyl acrylates, or acrylic resins. All acrylic compounds used in the present invention are products currently available on the market, for example, Zhengzhou Dacheng Polyurethane acrylate sold by Paint Co., Ltd. under the trade name Polyurethane Acrylate, Shanghai Fushun Polyester acrylic resin sold by International Trade Co., Ltd. under the product name Polyester Acrylic Resin, Foshan City Sansui Haocheng It is a polyether acrylic resin sold by Synthetic Resin Co., Ltd. under the product name acrylic resin.

[0042] The basic function of the above-mentioned photosensitive agent in the capsule film is that it undergoes a chemical change after receiving or absorbing light energy, decomposes into free radicals or cations, and induces a polymerization reaction in the bio-based epoxy resin.

[0043] The photosensitive agent used in the present invention is one or more photosensitive agents selected from KIP150, Omnipol BP, Polymeric 910, Irgacure 127, Irgacure 754, Irgacure OXE01, Rad-Start N-1414, CD-1012, or Esacure 1187. These are all products currently available on the market, for example, Shanghai Kaiin KIP150 sold by Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. under the product name KIP150, Irgacure 754 sold by Baspoo (China) Co., Ltd. under the product name Irgacure 754, Rad-Start N-1414 sold by Shanghai Kaiyin Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. under the product name Rad-Start N-1414, and Esacure1187 sold by Shanghai Kaiyin Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. under the product name Esacure1187.

[0044] In the present invention, the weight ratio of the bio-based epoxy resin, the acrylic compound, and the photosensitive agent is 20 to 70:30 to 50:1 to 5.

[0045] In the present invention, when the amounts of acrylic compound and photosensitive agent are within the above range, if the amount of bio-based epoxy resin is lower than 20, the strength of the capsule film material is insufficient; if the amount of bio-based epoxy resin is higher than 70, the strength of the capsule film material is excessively high. Therefore, the amount of bio-based epoxy resin is reasonably 20 to 70, and preferably 32 to 58.

[0046] When the amount of bio-based epoxy resin and photosensitive agent used is within the above range, if the amount of acrylic compound used is lower than 30, the strength of the capsule film material may be excessively high, resulting in insufficient toughness and causing the capsule to rupture easily; if the amount of acrylic compound used is higher than 50, the strength of the capsule film material may be insufficient, resulting in excessive toughness. Therefore, the amount of acrylic compound used is suitable for 30 to 50, and preferably 35 to 45.

[0047] When the amount of bio-based epoxy resin and acrylic compound used is within the above range, if the amount of photosensitive agent used is lower than 1, the photocuring efficiency is excessively low, resulting in incomplete curing; if the amount of photosensitive agent used is higher than 5, the curing efficiency is excessively high, which affects the shape of the capsule and may result in a deformed appearance of the capsule. Therefore, the amount of photosensitive agent used is suitable for 1 to 5, and preferably 2 to 4.

[0052] In the present invention, a stable liquid should be understood as not exhibiting separation after being left standing for 24 hours; and a uniform liquid should be understood as not exhibiting separation when observed visually.

[0053] The situation regarding essential flavorings and emulsifiers for tobacco has already been described above, so it will not be described further here.

[0054] In the present invention, when measured using a weight-volume standard analysis method, the density of the flavor liquid core solution is 0.9 to 1.3 g / cm³ 3 ...is. If the density of the flavor liquid core solution falls outside the above range, it cannot be taken. The density of the flavor liquid core solution is 0.9 g / cm³ 3 If it is lower, the falling velocities of the capsule membrane solution and the flavor liquid core solution do not match, causing eccentricity in the capsule, which is disadvantageous for subsequent capsule processing, and the density of the flavor liquid core solution is 1.3 g / cm³ 3 This is because eccentricity can occur in the capsule even if it is higher.
