Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cigarette capsule technology, and in particular to a storage-resistant and shatter-resistant cigarette capsule and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Cigarette flavor capsules, also known as flavored capsules, are widely used in the daily chemical, food, and tobacco industries due to their stable aroma, high flavor capacity, versatility, personalization, and ability to enhance smoothness. The design concept of cigarette flavor capsules involves embedding small beads filled with different flavoring liquids within the cigarette. Users can easily squeeze the beads while smoking to burst them, releasing a variety of aromas and flavors. This unique experience not only increases the enjoyment of smoking but also satisfies modern consumers' demands for personalization and diversity.

[0003] However, cigarette flavor capsules are usually made of relatively thin plastic or other lightweight materials, which are prone to losing their toughness when temperature and humidity change, leading to breakage. In addition, due to the poor strength of cigarette flavor capsules themselves, improper storage conditions, such as high temperature, high humidity, or improper stacking, may cause premature breakage of the capsules.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors discovered that existing tobacco flavor capsule materials have poor strength and are prone to breakage during production, processing, and transportation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to improve the defects of existing cigarette flavoring beads that are not durable and easily break, this application provides a storage-resistant and breakage-resistant cigarette flavoring bead and its preparation method.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a storage-resistant and shatter-resistant cigarette flavoring bead, employing the following technical solution: A storage-resistant and shatter-resistant cigarette capsule includes a wall material and a core material, wherein the core material is an essential oil, and the wall material comprises the following substances in parts by weight: Mix 70-80 parts of adhesive powder; Improver 0.5-10 parts; 0.5-3.0 parts of skeleton filling material; The mixed adhesive powder includes at least three of the following: carrageenan, gellan gum, gelatin, and instant agar.

[0007] Through the above technical solutions, this application optimizes the storage-resistant and shatter-resistant cigarette flavor capsules through special wall and core material components. The wall material comprises mixed adhesive powder, modifiers, and skeleton filler materials, making the flavor capsules less prone to breakage under stress. In particular, the mixed use of carrageenan, gellan gum, gelatin, and instant agar enhances the elasticity and toughness of the wall material while maintaining good fluidity, ensuring the stability of the flavor capsules during storage and transportation. Furthermore, the selection of essential oil core materials not only improves the taste experience of cigarettes but also extends the product's shelf life to a certain extent.

[0008] Furthermore, the skeleton filling material is cellulose nanocrystals.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, this application introduces cellulose nanocrystals as a skeleton filler material, significantly improving the structural strength and anti-breakage performance of the burst beads. Cellulose nanocrystals possess excellent mechanical properties and a high specific surface area; their addition can enhance the toughness and durability of the wall material, reducing the risk of breakage under external impact. Simultaneously, due to the natural source of cellulose, this material also has advantages in terms of biocompatibility and environmental friendliness.

[0010] Furthermore, the cellulose nanocrystals are provided with a supporting matrix, which is a chitosan gel solution.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, this application utilizes chitosan gel as a loading matrix, which helps to further improve the stability and functionality of cellulose nanocrystals. Chitosan, as a natural polysaccharide, provides an additional protective layer for cigarette-grade capsules while improving the dispersion performance of cellulose nanocrystals within the wall material, thereby resulting in a uniform wall material structure with good mechanical properties and strength.

[0012] Furthermore, the modifier includes an inorganic framework modifier, and the inorganic curing modifier is nano-titanium dioxide particles.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, this application further adds an inorganic framework modifier (nano-titanium dioxide particles) to improve the mechanical properties and oxidation resistance of the wall material. By combining inorganic and organic materials in the structure, the mechanical strength and properties of the wall material structure can be further improved, thereby enhancing its crack resistance.

[0014] Furthermore, the wall material is also provided with a reinforcing layer, which is a polysaccharide reinforcing coating layer covering the surface of the wall material.

[0015] Furthermore, the polysaccharide-enhanced coating layer is formed by coating with a polysaccharide-enhanced coating solution, which comprises the following substances in parts by weight: 30-45 parts inulin; 0.5-1.0 parts of calcium chloride; 80-120 parts water.

[0016] Through the above technical solution, this application further enhances the anti-breakage performance and storage stability of the bursting beads by designing a reinforcing layer. The polysaccharide coating not only provides additional physical protection but may also increase the lubricity of the bursting beads, making it easier to control force during extrusion and reducing the risk of breakage. Simultaneously, the mixed gel structure and inulin undergo localized interactions at the edges of the bonding zone, such as hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic bonds, thereby forming a highly cross-linked gel network with a reinforced structure. Through changes in the microstructure of the mixed gel, inulin, and calcium chloride, the mechanical properties and strength of the wall material are further improved.

[0017] Secondly, this application provides a method for preparing storage-resistant and shatter-resistant cigarette flavoring beads, employing the following technical solution: A method for preparing a storage-resistant and shatter-resistant cigarette flavoring capsule includes the following preparation steps: Mix the mixed adhesive powder with deionized water and stir, then collect the mixture. The mixture is placed in a heating device, heated and kept at a constant temperature to treat the adhesive, and the mixed adhesive solution is collected. Take the mixed adhesive solution and place it in a heating device to adjust the viscosity. Stir and test the viscosity until it is appropriate. Then place it in an oil bath heating device, evacuate the air and let it stand for later use. The flavoring used in the tobacco is mixed with liquid paraffin, the liquid core material is collected and cooled; A dropper device is used to add the wall material solution dropwise into the cooled core material liquid under pressure, and the wet pellets are collected. The wet pellets are immersed in a polysaccharide-enhanced coating solution. After immersion, they are washed, dried, balanced, and sieved to prepare storage-resistant and shatter-resistant tobacco capsules.

[0018] Furthermore, the temperature of the gelling treatment is 50-60℃.

[0019] Furthermore, the viscosity of the viscosity-adjusting treatment is 880-920 MPa·s.

[0020] Furthermore, the cooling temperature is 10-15℃.

[0021] Through the above technical solutions, this application optimizes the preparation parameters of the bursting bead material. By adjusting the viscosity range and improving the cooling temperature, the processing performance of the product is improved, and it also helps to prevent cracking during use. At the same time, optimizing the cooling temperature further promotes the solidification and curing of the wall material, ensuring the stability of the bursting bead morphology. This reduces the fluidity of the material at lower temperatures, which helps to form a more robust structure and reduces the risk of breakage caused by external stress.

[0022] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects: First, this application optimizes the storage-resistant and shatter-resistant cigarette flavor capsules through special wall and core material components. The wall material comprises mixed adhesive powder, modifiers, and skeleton filler materials, making the flavor capsules less prone to breakage under stress. In particular, the mixed use of carrageenan, gellan gum, gelatin, and instant agar enhances the elasticity and toughness of the wall material while maintaining good flowability, ensuring the stability of the flavor capsules during storage and transportation. Furthermore, the selection of essential oil core materials not only improves the taste experience of cigarettes but also extends the product's shelf life to a certain extent.

[0023] Secondly, this application introduces cellulose nanocrystals as a skeleton filler material, which significantly improves the structural strength and anti-breakage performance of the burst beads. Cellulose nanocrystals have excellent mechanical properties and a high specific surface area; their addition can enhance the toughness and durability of the wall material, reducing the risk of breakage under external impact. At the same time, due to the natural source of cellulose, this material also has advantages in terms of biocompatibility and environmental friendliness.

[0024] Third, by using chitosan gel as the supporting matrix, this application helps to further improve the stability and functionality of cellulose nanocrystals. Chitosan, as a natural polysaccharide, provides an additional protective layer for cigarette-grade capsules while improving the dispersion performance of cellulose nanocrystals within the wall material, thereby resulting in a uniform wall material structure with good mechanical properties and strength.

[0025] Fourth, this application optimizes the preparation parameters of the bursting bead material. By adjusting the viscosity range and improving the cooling temperature, the processing performance of the product is improved, and it also helps to prevent cracking during use. At the same time, optimizing the cooling temperature further promotes the solidification and curing of the wall material, ensuring the stability of the bursting bead morphology. This reduces the fluidity of the material at lower temperatures, which helps to form a more robust structure and reduces the risk of breakage caused by external stress. Detailed Implementation

[0054] Performance testing

[0055] The storage-resistant and shatter-resistant tobacco capsules prepared in Examples 1-9 were subjected to performance tests, specifically testing their appearance, hardness, and storage stability.

[0056] Appearance: Use a beaker to collect an appropriate amount of wet capsules and observe the appearance of the capsules on the inspection table.

[0057] Hardness: Measured using a CTS-II type tobacco capsule comprehensive tester.

[0058] Storage stability: The capsules are packaged and stored in the warehouse. The appearance and quality of the capsules are regularly sampled and inspected. The warehouse environment is 22℃ and 50% humidity.

[0059] The results are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1 Performance Test Table Example 1 Good appearance 15.87 No leakage Example 2 Good appearance 16.87 No leakage Example 3 Good appearance 16.23 No leakage Example 4 Good appearance 16.18 No leakage Example 5 Good appearance 16.05 No leakage Example 6 Good appearance 16.85 No leakage Example 7 Good appearance 17.05 No leakage Example 8 Good appearance 17.59 No leakage Example 9 Good appearance 17.21 No leakage From the above examples 1-9, and by comparing the test results in Table 1, it can be found that: Performance tests conducted on Examples 1-6 show that this application optimizes the storage-resistant and shatter-resistant cigarette capsules through special wall and core material components. The wall material comprises mixed adhesive powder, modifiers, and a skeleton filler, making the capsules less prone to shattering under stress. Simultaneously, this application introduces cellulose nanocrystals as a skeleton filler, significantly improving the structural strength and shatter resistance of the capsules. Cellulose nanocrystals possess excellent mechanical properties and a high specific surface area; their addition enhances the toughness and durability of the wall material, reducing the risk of breakage under external impact.

[0060] A comparison of Examples 1-6 and Examples 7-9 further illustrates that the design of the reinforcing layer enhances the bursting resistance and storage stability of the bursting beads. The polysaccharide coating not only provides additional physical protection but may also increase the lubricity of the bursting beads, making it easier to control force during extrusion and reducing the risk of breakage. Simultaneously, the mixed gel structure and inulin undergo localized interactions at the edges of the bonding zone, such as hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic bonds, thereby forming a highly cross-linked gel network with a reinforced structure. Through changes in the microstructure of the mixed gel, inulin, and calcium chloride, the mechanical properties and strength of the wall material are further improved.
