Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarettes, and in particular relates to an explosive flavoring and a preparation method thereof, and a cigarette. Background Art

[0002] "Exploding beads" are small liquid beads embedded in the tobacco filter, which can wrap liquids with different types of flavors. When the smoker squeezes it to burst during smoking, the liquid in the bead flows out, making the cigarette taste richer. The slight sound and unique feel when it breaks can bring smokers a better user experience.

[0003] At present, popping beads have become a new way to add flavor and retain moisture to cigarettes. Encapsulating flavors in solids can effectively preserve the concentration and purity of aroma substances and reduce the volatilization of flavors. However, the current "popping beads" must be popped by hand with fingers, teeth or tools, which is not convenient for smokers. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide an explosive flavor and a preparation method thereof, and a cigarette. The explosive flavor can be heated and exploded by itself when smokers smoke, releasing the flavor therein, making the smoke taste richer.

[0005] To achieve this object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an explosive-type fragrance, wherein the raw materials for preparing the explosive-type fragrance include, by mass fraction, 0-8% of auxiliary materials, 0.5-5.0% of carbon dioxide gas, and the remainder being fragrance.

[0007] Preferably, the raw materials for preparing the explosive flavor include 0-5.5% auxiliary materials, 0.5-2.5% carbon dioxide gas, and the remainder is flavor.

[0008] Preferably, the carbon dioxide gas is added to the system for preparing the raw materials at a pressure of 3-5 MPa.

[0009] Preferably, the auxiliary material is selected from citric acid and / or sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.

[0010] Preferably, the added amount of citric acid is 0-3.5% of the weight of the flavor.

[0011] Preferably, the added amount of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is 0-2% of the weight of the fragrance.

[0012] Preferably, the flavoring is a tobacco flavoring.

[0013] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned explosive flavor, comprising the following steps:

[0014] The flavor solution and optional auxiliary materials are heated at 120-180° C., mixed evenly to obtain a mixed solution, and carbon dioxide gas is introduced into the mixed solution at 3-5 MPa in a closed environment. The obtained mixed slurry is cooled and formed to obtain an explosive flavor.

[0015] Preferably, the fragrance solution is subjected to vacuum dehydration treatment.

[0016] Preferably, the water content of the fragrance solution is 1-3 wt %.

[0017] Preferably, the introduction of carbon dioxide gas is carried out under stirring conditions; the time for introducing carbon dioxide gas is 10 to 20 minutes.

[0018] Preferably, the cooling to a temperature is room temperature.

[0019] Preferably, the cooling and forming process further includes the steps of cutting and screening.

[0020] In a third aspect, the present invention provides a cigarette containing the explosive flavoring involved in the above technical solution.

[0021] Preferably, the added amount of the explosive flavoring accounts for 0.1-8% of the mass of the cigarette tobacco.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] The present invention provides an explosive flavor, similar to "explosive beads", and its preparation raw materials include auxiliary materials, flavors and carbon dioxide gas.

The present invention adds the obtained flavor block to the cigarette without pinching it with fingers, teeth or tools. When smoking, the flavor and auxiliary materials in the flavor block are dissolved in a heated environment, and the high-pressure carbon dioxide bubbles contained inside are quickly released, and a "click-click" explosion sound similar to that of clove cigarettes is emitted. At the same time, the flavor enters the smoker's mouth with the smoke, making the smoke taste richer and bringing a more unique smoking experience to the smoker. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] In view of the problem that in the prior art, "bursting beads" in cigarettes must be popped by oneself using fingers, teeth or tools, which is inconvenient for smokers to use, the present invention provides an explosive flavoring that can burst automatically during inhalation, wherein the raw materials for preparing the explosive flavoring comprise, by mass fraction, 0-8% of auxiliary materials, 0.5-5.0% of carbon dioxide gas, and the remainder being flavorings; preferably, the raw materials comprise 0-5.5% of auxiliary materials, 0.5-2.5% of carbon dioxide gas, and the remainder being flavorings.

[0026] In the present invention, the flavor can be a tobacco flavor, which can be a single flavor or a compound flavor of multiple components. Specifically, the flavor can be selected from any one or more of chocolate flavor, milk flavor, fruit flavor, nut flavor, wood flavor, flower flavor, spice, honey flavor, paste flavor, bean flavor, bread flavor, caramel flavor, phenol flavor, smoke flavor or wine flavor.

[0027] In the present invention, the auxiliary material may or may not be added, and after being added, the glass transition temperature of the explosive flavor can be increased, thereby improving its stability. The auxiliary material can generally be selected from citric acid and / or sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. Specifically, the amount of citric acid added is 0-3.5% of the flavor mass, preferably 0.5-2.5%; the amount of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose added is 0-2% of the flavor mass, preferably 0.5-1.5%.

[0028] In the present invention, the carbon dioxide gas is added to the system for preparing raw materials at a pressure of 3-5 MPa, so that the carbon dioxide bubbles in the prepared explosive flavor have a pressure higher than normal pressure, thereby achieving a self-explosion effect.

[0029] In the present invention, the carbon dioxide gas is selected because it is a safe gas allowed for use in food, is easy to obtain, and is low-cost, has a certain solubility in water, and does not chemically react with sugar, flavors, pigments, etc. during the processing process.

[0030] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned explosive flavor, comprising the following steps:

[0031] The flavor solution and optional auxiliary materials are heated at 120-180° C., mixed evenly to obtain a mixed solution, and carbon dioxide gas is introduced into the mixed solution at 3-5 MPa in a closed environment. The obtained mixed slurry is cooled and formed to obtain an explosive flavor.

[0032] In the present invention, the fragrance solution needs to be subjected to vacuum dehydration treatment to form a fragrance concentrate having a water content of 1-3%, preferably 1.5-2.5%.

[0033] According to the present invention, the fragrance solution and optional auxiliary materials are first heated at 120-180° C., preferably 150-160° C., and mixed to obtain a mixed solution. Then, carbon dioxide gas is charged into the mixed solution under an inflation high pressure of 3-5 MPa, and the slurry is mixed and stirred in a high-pressure carbon dioxide environment for 10-20 min, preferably 15-18 min. During the mixing and stirring period, the high-pressure carbon dioxide gas completely penetrates into the slurry, so that many tiny carbon dioxide bubbles are formed in the slurry.

[0034] Then, according to the present invention, the slurry is cooled to room temperature in a carbon dioxide environment to obtain a formed explosive flavor. The room temperature is "10-30°C", preferably "15-25°C".

[0035] For the convenience of subsequent application, the present invention cuts the obtained explosive spices into small pieces after cooling and sieves them. Generally, the block diameter of the cut explosive spices is 1 to 3 mm, preferably 1.5 to 2 mm. At this time, the obtained spices blocks still contain many fine carbon dioxide bubbles.

[0036] The present invention also provides a cigarette containing the explosive flavoring agent involved in the above technical solution.

[0037] Specifically, the present invention mixes the explosive flavoring involved in the above technical solution with cigarette tobacco and rolls them into cigarettes, which can be traditional cigarettes or heated cigarettes.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, the explosive flavoring is added in an amount of 0.1-8% by weight of the cigarette tobacco, preferably 0.5-5%.

[0039] In summary, the present invention fills carbon dioxide gas into a mixed solution of a flavor solution and optional auxiliary materials in the form of inflation under high pressure (3-5 MPa), and after cooling and forming, a solid flavor block can be obtained. The flavor block contains carbon dioxide gas bubbles with a certain pressure (higher than normal pressure). The present invention adds the obtained flavor block to a cigarette without pinching it with fingers, teeth or tools. When smoking, the flavor and auxiliary materials in the flavor block are dissolved in a heated environment, and the high-pressure carbon dioxide bubbles contained inside are quickly released, and a "click-click" explosion sound similar to that of clove cigarettes is emitted. At the same time, the flavor enters the smoker's mouth with the smoke, making the smoke taste richer and bringing a more unique smoking experience to the smoker.
