Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of heated tobacco products, and particularly relates to an ultra-low temperature atomizing agent and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Heated tobacco products, also known as heat-not-burn tobacco products. Generally, the tobacco medium (mainly including tobacco sheets, tobacco particles, etc.) is heated below 500°C (generally in the range of 250°C - 350°C), and the satisfaction and part of the tobacco fragrance can be transmitted to consumers.

[0003] Due to the significant reduction in the heating temperature of heated tobacco products, the harmful components in the smoke generated by heated tobacco products are also significantly reduced. Studies have shown that heated tobacco products can reduce the release of harmful substances by 80% compared with traditional cigarettes (the combustion temperature is about 900°C), and the release amount of harmful substances will further decrease with the decrease of the heating temperature.

[0004] CN110679984A provides a preparation method of a special sheet for heated tobacco products. The method includes the following steps: crushing tobacco leaves into tobacco powder; mixing the tobacco powder, inorganic inert heat-conducting material, water, atomizing agent, sizing agent, outer fiber, and dispersant evenly and then roll-forming to form a base sheet; drying and cutting the base sheet to obtain the special sheet for heated tobacco products. The present invention can obtain a special sheet for heated tobacco products with high thermal conductivity, uniform heat conduction, significant atomization effect, and high tensile strength.

[0005] CN112021634A discloses a preparation method of a paper-making method special sheet for heated tobacco products, including the following steps: making a base sheet from a mixed pulp containing tobacco pulp, tobacco stem pulp, and mixed outer fiber pulp through a papermaking technology, and the tobacco stem pulp and the mixed outer fiber pulp are modified pulps; the modification process is: sequentially treating the raw material tobacco stem pulp and the raw material mixed outer fiber pulp in sodium hydroxide solution and monochloroacetic acid solution, and then washing with ethanol and clear water until neutral; performing vacuum freeze-drying treatment on the base sheet to obtain a freeze-dried base sheet; stacking the freeze-dried base sheets, and vibrating and sieving to coat a mixed powder and an atomizing agent in the interlayer to obtain a coated base sheet, and the coating of the mixed powder and the atomizing agent is carried out separately, and the mixed powder contains tobacco powder, adhesive, and inert heat-conducting material; performing roll pressing, vacuum balancing treatment, and cutting on the coated base sheet to obtain the special sheet.

[0006] Since the atomizing agents for heated tobacco products in the prior art are mostly high-boiling polyols such as glycerol and propylene glycol, the lowest heating temperature of heated tobacco products is generally 200°C. If the heating temperature is lower than 200°C, problems such as less aerosol smoke volume and ineffective release of flavor substances in the tobacco medium will occur. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art and the actual needs, the present invention provides an ultra-low temperature atomizing agent, a preparation method and an application thereof. By modifying the atomizing agent with surfactants, the present invention can reduce the heating temperature of the heated cigarette to 150 °C or below (ultra-low temperature) without reducing the aerosol smoke emission of the heating coil, and reduce the release amount of harmful glycocompounds in the aerosol.

[0008] To achieve the object of the present invention, the following technical solutions are adopted:

[0009] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an ultra-low temperature atomizing agent, and the components of the ultra-low temperature atomizing agent include a surfactant and a polyol atomizing agent;

[0010] The surfactant includes a combination of zwitterionic surfactants and nonionic surfactants.

[0011] In the prior art, the combustion temperature of heated cigarettes is generally between 250 °C and 350 °C. The "ultra-low temperature" in the present invention means that the combustion temperature of the heated cigarette is lower than 150 °C.

[0012] The atomizing agent provided by the present invention utilizes the characteristics of zwitterionic surfactants and nonionic surfactants to cause obvious changes in the atomizing agent interface. Since the polyol atomizing agent has strong polarity, the hydrophilic group of the surfactant faces the atomizing agent interface, and the hydrophobic group faces the air interface. When the temperature of the heated cigarette rises to 100-150 °C, a large amount of water vapor will be contained in the aerosol, resulting in the inversion of the surfactant plane, thereby promoting the atomization of the polyol atomizing agent along with the aerosol to form smoke, and then the satisfaction and tobacco fragrance can be transmitted to consumers, that is, the sensory experience of consumers is satisfied, and the purpose of reducing the release amount of harmful glycocompounds in the aerosol is achieved.

[0013] Preferably, the mass ratio of the surfactant to the polyol atomizing agent is (1-10):100, for example, it can be 1:100, 2:100, 3:100, 4:100, 5:100, 6:100, 7:100, 8:100 or 9:100, etc. Other specific point values within the above numerical ranges can be selected and will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0107] Test Example 1

[0108] Smoke the heated cigarettes prepared in Application Examples 1 - 10, Comparative Application Examples 1 - 3 and commercially available heated cigarettes using a smoking device with the same heating curve (constant heating temperature is 150 °C). The smoking uses the Canadian deep - draw mode, and then use a 44 - mm Cambridge filter to trap the aerosol to obtain the aerosol release amount (ACM) among different samples. The results are shown in Table 1:

[0109] Table 1

[0110]

[0111]

[0112] As can be seen from the data in Table 2, compared with the commercially available heated tobacco products, the heated tobacco products prepared in Application Examples 1-3 of the present invention can release more aerosol at 150 °C, indicating that the heated tobacco products have a better smoking effect at a lower temperature.

[0113] Comparison of the release amounts of harmful carbonyl compounds in the aerosol of Test Example 2

[0114] The aerosols captured in Application Examples 1-3, Comparative Application Examples 1-3 and commercially available products in Test Example 1 were tested for the release amounts of harmful carbonyl compounds. The test method was referred to the current industry standard YC / T 254-2008 "Determination of main carbonyl compounds in mainstream cigarette smoke - High performance liquid chromatography method". The results are shown in Table 2 below:

[0115] Table 2

[0116]

[0117]

[0118] As can be seen from the data in Tables 1 and 2, compared with the commercially available heated tobacco products, the content of harmful carbonyl compounds in the aerosol of the heated tobacco products prepared in Application Examples 1-3 of the present invention is lower.

[0119] Test Example 3

[0120] Seven top-grade smoking assessors were organized to use smoking devices with the same heating curve (constant temperature heating temperature was 150 °C). According to the evaluation content and judgment criteria in Table 3, sensory smoking tests were carried out on the heated tobacco products obtained in Application Examples 1-10 and Comparative Application Examples 1-3, and the commercially available heated tobacco products were used as the control heated tobacco products.

[0121] The scoring results are shown in Table 4 (the average value of each group is taken and reserved to one decimal place).

[0122] Table 3 Sensory index scoring scale

[0123]

[0124]

[0125] Table 4 Sensory quality evaluation results of different implementation samples

[0126]

[0127]

[0128] As can be seen from Table 4, compared with the commercially available heated tobacco products, the heated tobacco products obtained in Application Examples 1-3 of the present invention have obvious improvements in terms of smoke concentration, strength, fineness and aroma characteristics, etc., and have less oral irritation.

[0129] As can be seen from Application Examples 4-7, when the aerosol former is not the specific combination of the present invention, the amount of smoke and the strength of the heated cigarette are small, and thus the sensory experience is poor.

[0130] As can be seen from Application Examples 8-10, when the non-ionic surfactant is not the combination of alkyl glucoside, polysorbate and glycerol fatty acid ester of the present invention, the modification effect on the aerosol former is poor, and the aerosol release amount of the heated cigarette at low temperature is small, thus resulting in poor sensory quality of the heated cigarette.

[0131] As can be seen from Comparative Application Examples 1 and 2, when only non-ionic surfactant or zwitterionic surfactant is used to modify the aerosol former, the treatment effect on the aerosol former is poor, and thus the sensory experience of the heated cigarette is also poor.

[0132] As can be seen from Comparative Application Example 3, when the aerosol former is not treated with surfactant, the sensory quality of the heated cigarette is significantly poor.

[0133] The applicant declares that the present invention uses the above embodiments to illustrate a super-low temperature aerosol former and its preparation method and application, but the present invention is not limited to the above detailed methods, that is, it does not mean that the present invention must rely on the above detailed methods to be implemented. Those skilled in the art should understand that any improvement of the present invention, the equivalent replacement of each raw material of the products of the present invention, the addition of auxiliary components, the selection of specific methods, etc. all fall within the protection scope and the disclosure scope of the present invention.
