[0032] The cigarette filter rod additives prepared in Examples 1-4 were tested. During the test, the obtained cigarette filter rod additives were diluted 8 times with triacetin and added to the filter rod tow, and the added amount was 6% of the tow mass. The cigarettes were placed in cigarettes for smoking evaluation, and a blank control sample without bamboo juice, loquat flower, houttuynia cordata, tea saponin, Xanthium sibiricum extract and peppermint oil was used as a blank control sample for comparison and smoking evaluation.

[0033] The smoking evaluation team is composed of 9 cigarette sensory evaluation experts. According to the cigarette sensory quality evaluation standards in the national standard GB 5606.4-2005, 6 items are set, namely gloss, aroma, harmony, miscellaneous smell, irritation, and aftertaste; each item is scored in a scoring unit of 0.5 points, and the sensory evaluation and scoring are carried out in a secret evaluation method. The sensory evaluation score table is shown in the following table:

[0034] From the table we can see that: Example 1 mainly contains two ingredients: fresh bamboo sap and loquat flower fragrance. Fresh bamboo sap brings the unique fresh aroma of bamboo, while loquat flower fragrance adds the sweetness and fragrance of flowers and fruits. However, the richness of the taste is relatively weak, and may not fully meet consumers' demand for a diversified taste experience.

[0035] Example 2 mainly contains two ingredients: Houttuynia cordata and Xanthium sibiricum. Houttuynia cordata is known for its unique fishy smell and fresh taste, while Xanthium sibiricum may bring a unique herbal aroma. Since only these two ingredients are included, the richness of the taste is also limited.

[0036] Example 3 mainly contains loquat flower fragrance, fresh bamboo juice, tea saponin, houttuynia cordata and Xanthium sibiricum. These ingredients blend with each other to form a full and pleasant overall flavor. The sweetness and fragrance of loquat flower fragrance and the fresh fragrance of bamboo complement each other, the special taste of houttuynia cordata and the herbal flavor of Xanthium sibiricum provide consumers with a unique sensory experience.

[0037] Embodiment 4 mainly comprises the fusion of the above four ingredients and peppermint oil, creates a multi-level, complex and unique taste experience, and satisfies the consumer's demand for a diversified taste experience. The aroma of loquat flower and fresh bamboo sap coordinates with each other to form a pleasant overall flavor. The addition of Xanthium sibiricum and Houttuynia cordata gives the product a distinct herbal characteristic, attracting consumers who pursue nature. The addition of peppermint oil not only makes the oral experience more refreshing and pleasant, but also coordinates with the sweetness of loquat flower and the fresh aroma of fresh bamboo sap to form an overall flavor with full fragrance and good coordination.

[0038] The above is a detailed introduction to a composite bamboo sap cigarette filter rod additive with a cooling effect and a preparation method provided by the present invention. The description of the specific embodiment is only used to help understand the method of the present invention and its core idea. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present invention, the present invention can also be improved and modified, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
