Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cigarette manufacturing technology, and relates to a filling material for improving the smoking taste of cigarettes, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] Cigarette filters are a crucial component of cigarettes, acting as a bridge between the smoker and the mainstream cigarette smoke. Years of research and practical application have shown that filters not only play a vital role in reducing harmful substances and tar in cigarettes, but also contribute to aroma compensation and enhance the cigarette's unique functionality. Functional filters offer advantages such as good aroma control, no thermal decomposition, and high safety. Therefore, current research on cigarette flavoring, focusing on highlighting "uniqueness" and "functionality" as core demands, has become the core focus and mainstream, leading to systematic technological innovation and product applications.
[0003] With consumers' tastes and demands constantly evolving, beyond simply satisfying basic smoking needs, cigarette manufacturers are increasingly focused on enhancing consumer engagement and experience. This includes meeting their personalized and diverse requirements, producing "good-looking, fun, pleasant to smoke, and easy-to-sell" products, and empowering consumers to become the driving force behind functional cigarette innovation. To improve consumer engagement and experience and meet their personalized and diverse needs, the market offers a wide variety of external, independent cigarette mouthpieces, including those with granules, flavor capsules, tar-reducing features, and unique designs, essentially covering tar reduction, distinctive aromas, and functionalities. From a structural perspective, these products can be broadly categorized into three types: single physical structure, structures containing functional materials (granules, flavor capsules, dry beads, etc.) (non-separable integrated type), and structures with separate functional materials (separable assembly type). Common filter materials include plastic, metal, and wood. These product advertisements are broad-spectrum, claiming to be applicable to all cigarette brands, but actual user reviews show that the results are unsatisfactory. They are not specific to particular cigarette brands and may even damage the inherent style of cigarettes and bring a bad experience.
[0004] Therefore, how to improve the smoking taste of cigarettes and enhance consumers' sensory experience has become an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Thirdly, the present invention provides the application of the filling material for improving the smoking taste of cigarettes as described in the first aspect in the preparation of cigarettes.
[0029] The numerical range described in this invention includes not only the point values listed above, but also any point values within the numerical ranges not listed above. Due to space limitations and for the sake of brevity, this invention will not exhaustively list all the specific point values included in the range.
[0030] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0031] This invention provides a filling material for improving the smoking experience of cigarettes. When filled into the filter rod of a cigarette, it has no characteristic aroma but can significantly improve the smoking experience: the aroma is delicate and harmonious, with a good sweetness and a strong sense of comfort. Moreover, the material maintains its aroma stably for up to 6 months and has no negative impact on the conventional components of the smoke or the pH value of the smoke.
[0032] (1) This invention uses Yunnan olives as the main raw material to improve the smoking taste of cigarettes. On the one hand, Yunnan olives can give cigarettes a clear and sweet aroma; on the other hand, Yunnan olives themselves have a certain viscosity, so no adhesive needs to be added during the preparation process. This reduces the complexity of the process and lowers the cost.
[0033] (2) On this basis, the combination of aromatic fruit and lily root can significantly improve the smoking comfort, sweetness and aroma of the product. Moreover, the compatibility between them is the best and the aroma is harmonious.
[0034] (3) The ratio of Yunnan olive, Platycodon grandiflorus and Aralia elata will affect the suction effect of the product. The preferred mass ratio of the three is (10-14):(1-3):(2-4), which will result in the best suction effect of the product.
[0035] (4) To further improve the suction effect, the present invention further adds lily essential oil and orange blossom oil. The two, together with Yunnan olive, bellflower and aromatic fruit, significantly improve the sweetness and aroma harmony of the suction. This effect cannot be achieved by other fragrances.
[0036] (5) The present invention uses a recombinant granulation method to prepare the filling material, which significantly improves the sweetness, comfort, and harmony of the draw compared with direct crushing and granulation, and significantly enhances the aroma quality. Detailed Implementation
[0037] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention, the following describes the technical solution of the present invention in conjunction with preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments.

[0050] (2) Dissolve lily essential oil and orange blossom oil at 0.2% and 0.5% of the particle weight respectively in 6% of 95% alcohol and apply them to the particles by adding fragrance (spraying). Allow the fragrance to be fully absorbed for 1.5 hours and dry at 55°C for 30 minutes to obtain the product.
[0051] Example 4
[0052] This embodiment provides a filling material to improve the smoking taste of cigarettes. The only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the ratio of fine powder of Platycodon grandiflorus to fine powder of aromatic fruit is adjusted from "2:3" to "1:5", while keeping the total weight of the two unchanged. The quality of fine powder of Yunnan olive and other conditions remain unchanged.
[0053] Example 5
[0054] This embodiment provides a filling material to improve the smoking taste of cigarettes. The only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the ratio of fine powder of Platycodon grandiflorus to fine powder of aromatic fruit is adjusted from "2:3" to "2:1", while keeping the total weight of the two unchanged. The quality of fine powder of Yunnan olive and other conditions remain unchanged.
[0055] Example 6
[0056] This embodiment provides a filling material to improve the smoking experience of cigarettes. The only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that it lacks lily essential oil, and the missing amount is made up with orange blossom oil. Other conditions are the same as in Embodiment 1.
[0057] Example 7
[0058] This embodiment provides a filling material to improve the smoking experience of cigarettes. The only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that it lacks orange blossom oil, and the missing amount is made up with lily essential oil. Other conditions are the same as in Embodiment 1.
[0059] Example 8
[0060] This embodiment provides a filling material to improve the smoking experience of cigarettes. The only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that orange blossom oil is replaced with osmanthus essential oil in equal amounts, and lily essential oil is replaced with jasmine essential oil in equal amounts. Other conditions are the same as in Embodiment 1.
[0061] Example 9
[0062] This embodiment provides a filling material to improve the smoking experience of cigarettes. The only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that orange blossom oil and lily essential oil are not added, i.e. step (2) is not performed. Other conditions are the same as in Embodiment 1.
[0063] Comparative Example 1
[0064] This comparative example provides a filling material for improving the smoking experience of cigarettes. The only difference between this example and Example 1 is that it lacks fine powder of Platycodon grandiflorus, and the missing amount is made up with fine powder of aromatic fruit. Other conditions are the same as in Example 1.
[0065] Comparative Example 2
[0066] This comparative example provides a filling material for improving the smoking experience of cigarettes. The only difference between this example and Example 1 is that it lacks aromatic fruit powder, and the missing amount is made up with platycodon powder. Other conditions are the same as in Example 1.
[0067] Comparative Example 3
[0068] This comparative example provides a filling material for improving the smoking experience of cigarettes. The only difference between this example and Example 1 is that it lacks aromatic fruit powder and lily bulb powder, while other conditions are the same as in Example 1.
[0069] Comparative Example 4
[0070] This comparative example provides a filling material for improving the smoking taste of cigarettes. The only difference between this example and Example 1 is that it uses a direct granulation method: Yunnan olive, platycodon, and aromatic fruit raw materials are crushed into granules, 10-16 mesh granules are collected, and Yunnan olive granules, platycodon granules, and aromatic fruit granules are mixed evenly in a ratio of 12:2:3 to obtain composite granules.
[0071] Orange blossom oil and lily essential oil were loaded onto the granules, and the specific method is as described in step (2) of Example 1.
[0072] Evaluation of suction effect
[0073] The filling materials obtained from each embodiment and comparative example were manually filled into the material filling cavity of the filter rod unit of a medium-length cigarette at a rate of 50 mg / cigarette (the structure of the filter rod unit is well known in the art, consisting of four parts: the oral cavity area, the filtering area, the material filling cavity, the septum baffle, and the cigarette fitting area). A commercially available medium-length cigarette was selected as the experimental subject, and the filter rod unit was fitted on it. Sensory quality evaluation was conducted: sweetness (sweetness and natural sweetness are preferred), comfort (comfortable smoking experience and no dryness or harshness are preferred), and aroma harmony (delicate aroma, harmonious and natural, and no off-flavors are preferred). The evaluation was conducted using a scoring system with a maximum score of 10 points. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1 (the blank group consisted of a fitted filter rod unit but no filling material).
[0074] Table 1
[0075]
[0076]
[0077] The results show that the selection and compatibility of each component in the filling material have a significant impact on the smoking effect of the product. Firstly, to improve the poor sweetness, lack of delicate aroma, and poor comfort of ordinary cigarettes, this invention uses Yunnan olives as the main raw material to enhance the smoking experience. On the one hand, Yunnan olives can impart a clear and sweet aroma to the cigarette; on the other hand, Yunnan olives themselves have a certain viscosity, thus eliminating the need for binders during the preparation process. This reduces process complexity and lowers costs.
[0078] However, products made solely from Yunnan olives do not offer ideal sweetness, aroma delicacy, or comfort when smoked. Therefore, this invention uses other materials in a compound formulation to improve sweetness, comfort, and aroma quality, while maintaining aroma harmony and eliminating any off-flavors. The comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3 shows that combining Yunnan olives with aromatic fruit and bellflower root significantly improves smoke comfort, sweetness, and aroma delicacy, exhibiting the best compatibility and harmonious aroma, thus meeting the aforementioned requirements. Furthermore, the comparison between Example 1 and Examples 4-5 shows that the ratio of Yunnan olives, bellflower root, and aromatic fruit affects the smoke extraction effect. The preferred mass ratio of the three is (10-14):(1-3):(2-4), resulting in the best smoke extraction effect. Furthermore, the comparison results between Examples 1 and Examples 6-9 show that the addition of lily essential oil and orange blossom oil, combined with Yunnan olive, bellflower, and aromatic berries, significantly improves the sweetness and aroma harmony of the smoke, an effect unattainable by other fragrances. The comparison results between Example 1 and Comparative Example 4 show that the recombinant granulation method for preparing the filler material, compared to direct crushing and granulation, significantly improves the sweetness, comfort, and harmony of the smoke, and significantly enhances the aroma quality.
[0079] Aroma component analysis
[0080] The aroma components of the material (Example 1) were qualitatively analyzed using SPME (Solid Phase Microextraction) to determine the relationship between characteristic aroma components and sensory taste. Solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) was employed. 1.000 g of sample was placed in a 20 mL headspace vial. Equilibrium and solid phase microextraction were performed at temperatures of 40, 60, and 80 °C (increasing the temperature separately) according to the temperature range of the cigarette filter during smoking. The extraction time was 30 min. Afterward, the SPME syringe was desorbed in the high-temperature vaporization chamber of a gas chromatograph, followed by GC / MS analysis. The results were qualitatively analyzed using NIST98, and the relative percentage content was calculated using the peak area normalization method.
[0081] The volatile aroma components of the filling material are mainly acids, alkenes, and alcohols, with a high content of small-molecule acids, which are the main functional components of Yunnan olives. These components can soften the smoke and increase the comfort of cigarettes. In addition, D-limonene can increase the sweetness; eugenol has a clove-like aroma, bringing a cool and spicy-sweet feeling; phenethyl alcohol and menthol can also increase the sweet and cool feeling; at the same time, dimethyl benzyl butyrate enhances the fruity and other aromas.
[0082] It is known that the filling material used in the preparation of cigarettes can soften the smoke, increase its fineness, enhance its sweetness, improve comfort, and retain moisture in the smoke. This sensory effect is closely related to the presence of a large number of small molecule acid components, eugenol, D-limonene, phenylethyl alcohol, menthol, and dimethyl benzyl butyrate, among other aroma-producing components, in the filling material.
[0083] Fragrance stability evaluation
[0084] The stability was evaluated by testing the sensory quality and aroma components of the filling material (Example 1) during a period of 0-6 months of storage at room temperature in a sealed container.
[0085] (1) The results of the suction evaluation are shown in Table 2.
[0086] Table 2
[0087]
[0088]
[0089] Notes: 1) "+" indicates a positive impact, "-" indicates a negative impact; 2) " / " indicates no impact.
[0090] The results showed that the filler material exhibited good stability in aspiration quality within 0-6 months.
[0091] (2) Analysis of aroma components
[0092] Peak area normalization analysis of volatile components was performed on the initial material and materials stored at room temperature for 2, 4, and 6 months. Solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) was used. 1.000 g of sample was weighed and placed in a 20 mL headspace vial. The temperature conditions of 40, 60, and 80 °C (heating was performed separately) were set according to the temperature change range of the cigarette filter during cigarette smoking. Equilibrium and solid-phase microextraction were performed for 30 min. After that, the SPME needle was desorbed in the high-temperature vaporization chamber of gas chromatography and GC / MS analysis was performed. The analysis results were qualitatively identified by NIST98 search, and the relative percentage content was calculated by peak area normalization.
[0093] The results showed that after 6 months of storage, the total amount of aroma components in the filler material increased and then stabilized, with little change in the types, still mainly alkenes, alcohols, phenols, and esters. Among them, phenols and esters increased, alkenes decreased, while aldehydes, ketones, and acids fluctuated slightly, showing an overall inverse trend. This indicates that the content of aroma components changed slightly during storage and aging. The characteristic aroma components of the material changed; for example, the content of D-limonene, acetic acid, octanoic acid, nonanoic acid, and dimethyl benzyl butyrate decreased, while the content of phenylethyl alcohol and menthol remained unchanged, and the content of eugenol increased. Overall, the components contributing to the sweetness and comfort of the material showed an inverse trend, and the aroma retention of the filler material was relatively stable within 0-6 months.
[0094] Routine cigarette smoke analysis
[0095] The filling material obtained in Example 1 was manually filled into the filling cavity of the filter rod unit of a medium-sized cigarette at a rate of 50 mg / cigarette. A medium-sized cigarette with the same filter rod unit but without filling was used as a control. Routine smoke analysis was performed on the trial-produced cigarettes according to GB / T5606.5-1996, YC / T29-30-1996, and YC / T156-157-2001 standards to evaluate the effect of the fruit-flavored filling material on the conventional components of the smoke. The results are shown in Table 3.
[0096] Table 3
[0097] Testing items filling Unfilled Total particulate matter (mg / cig) 9.29 9.64 Moisture (mg / cig) 0.67 0.66 Nicotine content in cigarette smoke (mg / cig) 0.82 0.85 Tar content (mg / cig) 7.80 8.13 Corrected tar content (mg / cig) 8.63 8.97 Number of suction ports (ports / piece) 6.0 6.0 Carbon monoxide (mg / cig) 11.2 10.3
[0098] The test results showed that the filling material did not significantly affect the total particulate matter, moisture, nicotine, tar, and CO content of cigarette smoke compared to the control group, indicating that it had no negative impact on conventional cigarette smoke.
[0099] Cigarette smoke pH analysis
[0100] The filling material obtained in Example 1 was manually filled into the filling cavity of the filter rod unit of a medium-sized cigarette at a rate of 50 mg / cigarette, and then fitted with a medium-sized cigarette. A medium-sized cigarette fitted with the filter rod unit but not filled was used as a control to evaluate the effect of the filling material on the pH of the smoke.
[0101] Method: Analysis of volatile components of total particulate matter in mainstream cigarette smoke by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TCJC-ZY-IV-031-2012).
[0102] The results showed that the pH of the cigarette smoke control was 6.13, while the pH of the cigarette smoke with added filler material was 6.10, indicating that the filler material had no significant effect on the pH of cigarette smoke.
[0103] In summary, the filling material provided by this invention can significantly improve the smoking experience of cigarettes: the aroma is delicate, the sweetness is good, the comfort is strong, and the aroma of the material is stable within 6 months, with no negative impact on the conventional components of the smoke or the pH value of the smoke.
