Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of hookahs, and in particular relates to an Arabic hookah paste and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The hookah (shisha) originated in 13th-century India, primarily used to smoke old-fashioned black tobacco. It became popular in the Middle East in the 16th century. In the Middle East, particularly in Turkey and Iran during the ancient Ottoman Empire, the hookah was once considered a "dancing princess and snake." Later, it gradually spread to Arab countries, where it was widely adopted by the Arabs and became a common form of tobacco smoking.

[0003] Unlike other tobacco products, the hookah uses the residual heat from burned coal to generate smoke. To smoke, the user places burning charcoal on top of the tobacco to help it burn. The hookah box contains water at the bottom and tobacco at the top. The smoke from the burning tobacco is filtered through the water and then passed through a straw for inhalation. Walking through the streets and alleys of Arab countries, you can often see groups of people sitting together smoking hookahs. One Arab novelist described the scene of smoking a hookah as follows: "Ride on clouds and mist, intoxicated by the water and smoke, it's as if a classic time has flown back to a distant past." Egyptian writer Najib Mahfouz, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, is said to have drawn inspiration for his works from the cafes and hookah parlors he frequented. Western media have commented that the thoughts of Arab intellectuals are reflected in their pipes.

[0004] As a new generation of fashionable smoking and leisure activities, hookahs are gradually gaining acceptance among consumers due to their fragrant smoke and low risk of harm. In recent years, shisha, as a tobacco product, has also gained increasing attention in China, steadily increasing its market share. A new method for quitting smoking: it offers smokers the same enjoyment as smoking, but with only a few percent of the toxins found in a cigarette, eliminating the harmful effects of nicotine. The rich aroma and extremely low nicotine content of shishas have also attracted many female smokers, who consider it an elegant and fashionable product.

[0005] However, the existing Arabic hookah paste industry contains many additives, and due to the short fermentation period, it is more irritating and has a sour aftertaste. Summary of the Invention

[0157] As can be seen from the data analyzed in Table 2 above, the tobacco paste formula of the present invention has moderate nicotine content, undetectable tar, and meets the development indicators of Arabic hookah. Due to different personal smoking habits and preferences for nicotine concentration, the nicotine level is not specifically evaluated.

[0158] In order to compare the differences in the trace chemical components of the smoke produced by the four tobacco paste products, online detection was carried out using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS / MS) (equipment model: 7890A / 5977C GC-MS / MS). The components in the smoke capture bottle were analyzed, and the data obtained are shown in Table 3.

[0165] From the analysis of trace chemical components, it was found that in the three treatment examples 1, the content of 1,2-propylene glycol was higher than that of the other two brands, which verified that the smoking effect of example 1 was better and the smoke was fuller. Alfakher had the highest nicotine content, which verified from an analytical perspective the reason why there were more impurities in its smoke and a sluggish taste in the mouth. In example 1, the peaks of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural and heptadecane were higher, indicating that the two provided aroma support for the tobacco paste of the invention. Among the three products, the heptadecane peak of example 1 was the highest and accounted for the largest proportion. The proportion of aroma substances in Samara was relatively coordinated, and the nicotine content was lower, which verified the fact that it belonged to the light-flavored category of Arabic hookah. Example 1 met the international standards for Arabic hookah products and met development expectations.
