[0040] Some embodiments of the present application provide a preparation method of a reconstituted tobacco leaf flavor base, comprising the following steps:

[0041] S10, using barley malt as a fermentation substrate to perform whiskey brewing processing to obtain a distillate and a barley malt residue;

[0042] S20, mixing the distillate and the barley malt residue, and sequentially performing soaking treatment and solid-liquid separation treatment to obtain a filtrate; the mass ratio of the distillate to the barley malt residue is (5-9):1;

[0043] S30, mixing the filtrate and a spice additive, and reacting at 60-80°C for 30-40 min to prepare a reconstituted tobacco leaf flavor base.

[0044] The present application uses the distillate and the barley malt residue after whiskey fermentation as raw materials, wherein the barley malt residue contains incompletely fermented carbohydrates, proteins and the like, the distillate contains alcohol and volatile flavor substances and the like, and a large amount of aroma-producing substances can be generated after soaking treatment; the mixture of the distillate and the spice additive can generate wine flavor substances suitable for reconstituted tobacco leaves, thereby improving the aroma quality of the tobacco flavor base, increasing the aroma yield, and reducing the irritation.

[0045] It can be understood that after the distillate and the barley malt residue are mixed, soaking treatment can be performed to make the substances in the distillate and the barley malt residue fully contact, and saccharification reaction and Maillard reaction and the like occur, so as to generate more aroma-producing substances.

[0046] For example, in S20, the mass ratio of the distillate to the barley malt residue can be 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, or any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0047] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the distillate to the barley malt residue is (8-9):1.

[0048] Further, the mass ratio of the distillate to the barley malt residue is 9:1.

[0049] In some embodiments, in S10, using barley malt as a fermentation substrate to perform whiskey brewing processing comprises the following steps:

[0050] S11, crushing the dried barley malt;

[0051] S12, mixing the crushed barley malt with water, and incubating at 60-70°C for 1-2 h to prepare a saccharified mash;

[0052] S13, incubating the saccharified mash at 18-22°C for 2-4h to prepare a fermentation mash;

[0053] S14, performing first distillation treatment on the fermentation mash at 78-85°C to prepare a first distillate, and performing second distillation treatment on the first distillate at 80-82°C to prepare a second distillate.

[0054] It can be understood that the first distillate obtained by the first distillation treatment contains alcohol, volatile flavor substances and a small amount of impurities with lower boiling points. By performing the second distillation treatment on the first distillate, high-boiling impurities can be removed, and the second distillate with higher purity and richer flavor can be obtained. By mixing the first distillate and the second distillate, the overall quality of the distillate can be optimized on the basis of balancing the alcohol purity and the flavor level, which not only improves the problems of excessive impurities and thin flavor of the single first distillate, but also adjusts the taste and aroma characteristics to meet the requirements of the target product.

[0055] In some embodiments, the distillate includes the first distillate and the second distillate; the mass ratio of the first distillate to the second distillate is (2-4):1.

[0056] For example, the mass ratio of the first distillate to the second distillate can be 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, or any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0057] Further, the mass ratio of the first distillate to the second distillate is 3:1.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first distillate includes filtered distillate and unfiltered distillate; the mass ratio of the filtered distillate to the unfiltered distillate is (0.8-1.2):(0.8-1.2).

[0059] It can be understood that filtering the collected distillate can effectively reduce the excess impurities in the liquid; and mixing the first distillate before filtering and the first distillate after filtering in a certain proportion can balance the flavor integrity and the taste purity on the basis of retaining the core flavor characteristics of the first distillate, and moderately reduce the interference of impurities; it can improve the flavor loss caused by excessive filtration, and also solve the taste defects of excessive impurities in the unfiltered liquid, and provide more flexible flavor control space for subsequent process or product blending.

[0060] As an example, the mass ratio of the filtered distillate to the unfiltered distillate can be 0.8:0.8, 0.8:0.9, 0.8:1, 0.8:1.1, 0.8:1.2, 0.9:0.8, 0.9:1, 0.9:1.1, 0.9:1.2, 1:0.8, 1:0.9, 1:1.1, 1:1.2, 1.1:0.8, 1.1:0.9, 1.1:1, 1.1:1.2, 1.2:0.8, 1.2:0.9, 1.2:1, 1.2:1.1, or any value within a range defined by any two of the above values.

[0061] Further, the mass ratio of the filtered distillate to the unfiltered distillate is 1:1.

[0062] In some of the embodiments, the soaking treatment in S20 is performed at room temperature.

[0063] In some of the embodiments, the soaking treatment in S20 is performed at a temperature of 20-30℃ for 24-30 hours.

[0064] As an example, the soaking treatment can be performed at a temperature of 20℃, 21℃, 22℃, 23℃, 24℃, 25℃, 26℃, 27℃, 28℃, 29℃, 30℃, or any value within a range defined by any two of the above values.

[0065] As an example, the soaking treatment can be performed for 24 hours, 25 hours, 26 hours, 27 hours, 28 hours, 29 hours, 30 hours, or any value within a range defined by any two of the above values.

[0066] In some of the embodiments, the flavor additive includes a monk fruit tobacco flavor, a glycyrrhetin tobacco flavor, a lysine tobacco flavor, a proline tobacco flavor, and a cocoa powder tobacco flavor.

[0067] In some of the embodiments, the amount of the monk fruit tobacco flavor added is 0.8‰-1.2‰ based on the total mass of the filtrate.

[0068] As an example, the amount of the monk fruit tobacco flavor added can be 0.8‰, 0.9‰, 1.0‰, 1.1‰, 1.2‰, or any value within a range defined by any two of the above values, based on the total mass of the filtrate. Further, further, the amount of the monk fruit tobacco flavor added is 1‰ based on the total mass of the filtrate.

[0069] In some of the embodiments, the amount of the glycyrrhetin tobacco flavor added is 1‰-1.5‰ based on the total mass of the filtrate.

[0070] As an example, the licorice phenol tobacco flavor can be added in an amount of 1 ‰, 1.1 ‰, 1.2 ‰, 1.3 ‰, 1.4 ‰, 1.5 ‰, or any value within a range defined by any two of the above values, based on the total mass of the filtrate. Further, the licorice phenol tobacco flavor is added in an amount of 1.25 ‰, based on the total mass of the filtrate.

[0071] In some embodiments, the lysine tobacco flavor is added in an amount of 1.3 ‰ to 1.8 ‰, based on the total mass of the filtrate.

[0072] As an example, the lysine tobacco flavor can be added in an amount of 1.3 ‰, 1.4 ‰, 1.5 ‰, 1.6 ‰, 1.7 ‰, 1.8 ‰, or any value within a range defined by any two of the above values, based on the total mass of the filtrate. Further, the lysine tobacco flavor is added in an amount of 1.5 ‰, based on the total mass of the filtrate.

[0073] In some embodiments, the proline tobacco flavor is added in an amount of 0.8 ‰ to 1.2 ‰, based on the total mass of the filtrate.

[0074] As an example, the proline tobacco flavor can be added in an amount of 0.8 ‰, 0.9 ‰, 1.0 ‰, 1.1 ‰, 1.2 ‰, or any value within a range defined by any two of the above values, based on the total mass of the filtrate. Further, the proline tobacco flavor is added in an amount of 1 ‰, based on the total mass of the filtrate.

[0075] In some embodiments, the cocoa powder tobacco flavor is added in an amount of 2.5 ‰ to 3.5 ‰, based on the total mass of the filtrate.

[0076] As an example, the cocoa powder tobacco flavor can be added in an amount of 2.5 ‰, 2.6 ‰, 2.7 ‰, 2.8 ‰, 2.9 ‰, 3.0 ‰, 3.1 ‰, 3.2 ‰, 3.3 ‰, 3.4 ‰, 3.5 ‰, or any value within a range defined by any two of the above values, based on the total mass of the filtrate. Further, the cocoa powder tobacco flavor is added in an amount of 3 ‰, based on the total mass of the filtrate.

[0077] It can be understood that controlling the addition amount of the monk fruit tobacco flavor, the licorice phenol tobacco flavor, the lysine tobacco flavor, the proline tobacco flavor, and the cocoa powder tobacco flavor within the above ranges can make the wine aroma in the base most rich and the retention time relatively long.

[0078] As an example, in S30, the reaction temperature after the filtrate is mixed with the flavor additive can be 60℃, 61℃, 62℃, 63℃, 64℃, 65℃, 66℃, 67℃, 68℃, 69℃, 70℃, 71℃, 72℃, 73℃, 74℃, 75℃, 76℃, 77℃, 78℃, 79℃, 80℃, or any value within the range formed by any two of the above point values. The reaction time can be 30 min, 31 min, 32 min, 33 min, 34 min, 35 min, 36 min, 37 min, 38 min, 39 min, 40 min, or any value within the range formed by any two of the above point values.

[0079] It can be understood that, under the above specific temperature conditions for a period of time, the flavor substances in the filtrate and the flavor additive can be fully integrated, the overall coordination of the flavor can be improved, and the function of the flavor can be maximized; at the same time, the Maillard reaction can be triggered, more aroma substances can be generated, and the wine aroma level can be strengthened; thereby, wine aroma flavor substances suitable for reconstituted tobacco can be generated in a targeted manner.

[0080] Some embodiments of the present application also provide a flavor base for reconstituted tobacco, which is prepared by the above method.

[0081] Some embodiments of the present application also provide a cigarette product comprising the above flavor base for reconstituted tobacco.

[0082] In some embodiments, the method for preparing the above cigarette product comprises the following steps:

[0084] The flavor base for reconstituted tobacco prepared by the above method has good aroma quality, and the aftertaste of smoke is more comfortable and relaxing, and the irritability is significantly reduced. When used in a cigarette product, the sensory quality of the cigarette can be effectively improved.

The raw materials involved in the following specific examples can be sourced from the market if not otherwise specified, the instruments used can be sourced from the market if not otherwise specified, and the processes involved can be routinely selected by those skilled in the art if not otherwise specified.

[0086] Example 1

[0087] (1) Whisky fermentation: after drying, the barley malt is crushed and impurities are removed through a 60 mesh screen to control the particle size to about 0.25 mm; then it is mixed with water thoroughly and uniformly, and kept at a constant temperature of 65℃ for 1.5 h, so that the amylase in the barley malt hydrolyzes the starch into glucose and maltose, obtaining a saccharified mash; low-temperature fermentation is carried out at 18℃, obtaining a fermented mash.

[0088] The fermented mash is put into a distillation kettle and heated to 85℃, and the alcohol and volatile flavor substances with lower boiling points are collected, obtaining a first distillation liquid; the first distillation liquid is distilled again, and the temperature is controlled at 80℃ to remove high-boiling impurities, obtaining a second distillation liquid. At the same time, the remaining barley malt residue after distillation is collected.

[0089] (2) The first distillation liquid obtained in step (1) is filtered, and the filtered first distillation liquid is mixed with the unfiltered first distillation liquid at a mass ratio of 1:1, obtaining a first distillation liquid mixture; the first distillation liquid mixture is mixed with the second distillation liquid at a mass ratio of 3:1, obtaining a distillation liquid mixture; the distillation liquid mixture is mixed with the barley malt residue at a mass ratio of 1:9, and the total mass of the barley malt residue and the distillation liquid mixture is 100 g; then it is soaked for 24 h, and after soaking, solid-liquid separation is carried out to remove the residue and obtain a filtrate.

[0090] Based on the mass of the filtrate, 0.1‰ monk fruit smoke flavor, 0.125‰ glycyrrhizic acid smoke flavor, 1.5‰ lysine smoke flavor, 1‰ proline smoke flavor, and 3‰ cocoa powder smoke flavor are added, and the reaction is carried out at 65℃ for 30 min to prepare a reconstituted tobacco leaf flavor base.

[0091] Example 2

[0092] The same as example 1, except that the composition of the distillation liquid mixture is different; specifically, the filtered first distillation liquid is mixed with the second distillation liquid at a mass ratio of 3:1, obtaining a distillation liquid mixture.

[0093] Example 3

[0094] The same as example 1, except that in step (2), the second distillation liquid is directly mixed with the barley malt residue at a mass ratio of 1:9.

[0095] Example 4

[0096] The same as example 1, except that in step (2), the mass ratio of the distillation liquid mixture to the barley malt residue is 1:5.

[0097] Comparative Example 1

[0098] The same as example 1, except that in step (2), no malt residue is added, but the 100 g distillate mixture is subjected to soaking treatment and solid-liquid separation, and then mixed with flavor additives and the like for reaction.

[0099] Comparative example 2

[0100] The same as example 1, except that in step (2), the mass ratio of the distillate mixture to the malt residue is 1:1.

[0101] The proportions of some of the raw materials used in the above examples and comparative examples are shown in Table 1.

[0102] Table 1

[0103]

[0104] Performance test

[0105] The flavor bases prepared in the above examples and comparative examples are used as coating liquids, and are coated onto the surface of a sheet base at a coating rate of 39% to prepare tobacco sheet; the tobacco sheet is rolled into tobacco shreds to prepare cigarettes. The above cigarettes are tasted by more than 7 tasters with professional qualification certificates; the scoring criteria are formulated by the tasters with professional qualification certificates through comparison and tasting; and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0106] Table 2

[0107]

[0108] In the above table, the control sample refers to a cigarette prepared by rolling tobacco sheet which is not coated with a flavor base.

[0109] As can be seen from the above table, the flavor base prepared from the distillate obtained after whisky brewing and malt residue as raw materials can obviously improve the aroma quality, smoke richness, reduce offensive odor, and reduce irritation, thereby improving the overall sensory quality of the cigarette product.

[0110] The technical features of the above examples can be combined in any manner. In order to make the description brief, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above examples are not described, however, as long as the combinations of the technical features do not contradict each other, they should be considered as falling within the scope of the present disclosure.
