Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of atomizing liquid component design, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a tobacco extract used in atomizing liquid. Background Art

[0002] Tobacco extract is the key substance that determines the tobacco flavor of electronic atomization liquid products, and directly determines the basic quality of tobacco-flavored electronic atomization liquid products. The ingredients and composition of tobacco extract are the key factors in the taste and quality stability of tobacco-flavored electronic atomization liquid products.

[0003] Tobacco extracts on the market, such as tobacco extract, are tobacco flavors, mainly used in cigarettes, with weak aroma, bland fragrance, and poor flavoring effect. Direct application in electronic atomization liquid will produce obvious "burnt smell" problems, affecting the smoking experience of electronic atomization liquid. The main reason for these problems is that commercially available tobacco extracts contain a large amount of macromolecular high-boiling point substances such as sugars and proteins, as well as waxy components such as long-chain fatty hydrocarbons. These macromolecular substances are generally less volatile and cannot be smoothly atomized when the electronic atomization liquid is heated. They are deposited on the heater to produce a burnt smell, which seriously affects the smoking quality.

[0004] Although there are many methods of using synthetic flavors instead of natural flavors, there are thousands of substances that produce tobacco flavor. Not only are there many components, but the various components also affect each other. This complex situation makes the research on tobacco and extract flavoring substances difficult, and it is completely impossible to describe them with a single chemical component. Therefore, the fragrance blended with synthetic flavors is difficult to achieve the aroma of tobacco, the degree of restoration is poor, and it is difficult to have the tobacco smoking experience after the electronic atomization liquid is atomized. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for preparing a tobacco extract for use in an atomized liquid, comprising the following steps:

[0008] (2) Extraction of tobacco oil

[0009] After low-temperature vacuum concentration of the tobacco extract dispersion system remaining after heating and distillation in step (1), ethanol is added thereto for extraction and stratification, and the upper liquid phase is retained and low-temperature vacuum concentration is performed to obtain tobacco oil;

[0010] (3) Separation of tobacco oil

[0012] (4) Extraction of bound aroma components from tobacco

[0013] The recombinant aroma substance obtained in step (3) is dispersed in water and then filtered. After the filtrate is separated by resin column chromatography, the resin is eluted with water, low-concentration ethanol and high-concentration ethanol respectively, and the high-concentration ethanol eluate is collected, concentrated, and then propylene glycol or glycerol is added and mixed to obtain tobacco-bound aroma components;

[0014] (5) The tobacco volatile components obtained in step (1), the light component aroma substances obtained in step (3), and the tobacco bonded aroma components obtained in step (4) are uniformly mixed to obtain a tobacco extract.

[0015] Preferably, the tobacco extract in step (1) is one or a combination of Virginia tobacco extract, Zimbabwe tobacco extract, Yunnan tobacco extract, Henan tobacco extract, burley tobacco extract, air-dried yellow tobacco extract, and sun-dried red tobacco extract.

[0016] Preferably, in step (1), the tobacco extract is added with water and dispersed sufficiently according to a mass ratio of tobacco extract to water of 1:1 to 20.

[0017] Preferably, in step (1), the extraction solvent is petroleum ether or n-hexane, and the amount of the extraction solvent is 1 to 10 times the mass of the tobacco extract.

[0018] Preferably, in step (3), the treatment conditions of molecular distillation are as follows: heating temperature of 50-70°C, evaporation temperature of 80-150°C, condensation temperature of the first stage of 10°C-40°C, condensation temperature of the second stage of 10°C--10°C, condensation temperature of the third stage of -10°C--30°C, rotation speed of 100-300 r / min, vacuum degree of 10-200 Pa, and flow rate of 0.5-3 ml / min.

[0019] Preferably, in step (4), the recombinant aroma substance is added with water and dispersed sufficiently according to a mass ratio of the recombinant aroma substance to water of 1:1 to 20.

[0020] Preferably, in step (4), the resin used for column chromatography is one or a combination of XAD-2, XAD-4, AB-4, D101.

[0021] Preferably, in step (4), the low-concentration ethanol is an ethanol aqueous solution with a volume fraction of 40%, and the high-concentration ethanol is an ethanol aqueous solution with a volume fraction of 95%.

[0022] Preferably, in step (5), the mixture is mixed evenly and then filtered through a 0.45 μm filter membrane.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: in each operation step, the present scheme extracts the tobacco volatile components by distillation according to the difference in boiling points between the components; extracts the tobacco pure oil according to the difference in solubility between the components, and at the same time, can also separate the macromolecular substances such as polysaccharides and proteins as much as possible; obtains the light component aroma substances by molecular distillation according to the difference in molecular free path between the components; and removes the "carbon deposition" substances caused by monosaccharides such as glucose and fructose in the heavy component aroma substances by column chromatography according to the difference in intermolecular forces and polarity between the components, and collects the bonded aroma substances that can be cleaved, and finally mixes the obtained components to achieve the enrichment of the aroma substances in tobacco. Although the tobacco components have changed significantly after a series of treatments of this scheme, the aroma effect is not only not affected, but also significantly improved. Applied to the electronic cigarette atomizer, it solves the problems of poor solubility of conventional tobacco extracts in the atomizer, serious "carbon deposition", and weak tobacco aroma.

[0108] Comparative Example 4

[0109] The Yunyan extract in Example 1 was not processed.

[0110] The tobacco extracts (or Yunyan extract) obtained in the above-mentioned embodiments and comparative embodiments were respectively made into atomized liquids. The preparation methods of the atomized liquids were all as follows: weigh the tobacco extracts (or Yunyan extracts), add them into a mixed solvent of PG:VG=1:1 (mass ratio), mix them evenly to form atomized liquids, and the mass fraction of tobacco extracts (or Yunyan extracts) in the atomized liquids was 40%. Then, an atomizer containing a ceramic atomization core was used to perform an atomization evaluation test, and the results are shown in the following table:

[0111] Carbonization Tobacco flavor evaluation Example 1 Not easy to carbonize Full and rich tobacco flavor Example 2 Not easy to carbonize Full and rich tobacco flavor Example 3 Not easy to carbonize Full and rich tobacco flavor Comparative Example 1 Not easy to carbonize The tobacco flavor is not good when you take it, and the aroma is insufficient Comparative Example 2 Not easy to carbonize The tobacco aroma is insufficient and has mixed smell Comparative Example 3 Carbonization occurs The tobacco flavor is not full and the layering is missing Comparative Example 4 Easy to carbonize Burnt core, with a burnt smell

[0112] In the above table, in Examples 1 to Comparative Examples 3, Yunyan extract was extracted and separated to varying degrees, but from the perspective of aroma enrichment, only Examples 1 to 3 stimulated the tobacco aroma well. This further verifies that: Examples 1 to 3 remove components that are prone to gelatinization, avoiding the impact or shielding of taste and aroma; more importantly, as introduced in the background technology, there are thousands of substances that produce tobacco aroma, not only are there many components, but the various components also affect each other, resulting in a very complex mechanism in this regard. After a series of extraction and separation operations in this scheme, some components in the tobacco are retained, and some components are largely removed, but this change does not affect the existing components from jointly producing tobacco aroma, indicating that the components selected to be retained during extraction in this scheme and the synergistic effects between the components have a close impact on the tobacco aroma.

[0113] For example, after the process flow in Comparative Examples 1 to 3 is changed, even if only one of the operation links is missing, although this only results in only a partial difference in the components after extraction from Example 1 (for example, in Comparative Example 1, the proportion of tobacco volatile components that have not been collected and preserved in advance is at most less than 10% of the extract finally enriched together), the aroma effect will also be significantly damaged. It can be seen that in addition to the lack or reduction of the corresponding component, it must also involve the loss or decline of the synergistic effect between the component and other components.

[0114] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is to be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and are not to be construed as limitations of the present invention. A person skilled in the art may change, modify, replace and vary the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
