Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of biological enzyme preparation, and particularly relates to a compound enzyme preparation for improving the combustibility of Nanping cigar and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cigar, also known as cigar tobacco, is a kind of cigarette, which is made of dried and fermented tobacco. Cigar is an early product in the production of tobacco products, but the production of cigar in China is relatively late.

[0003] Cigar combustibility refers to the performance of cigar tobacco or finished cigar when it is ignited and burns without flame. Cigar combustibility has a significant impact on smoke quality. The indicators for measuring the combustibility of cigar include two aspects of smoldering and ash color, wherein the smoldering indicators include four aspects of smoldering time, smoldering rate, combustion completeness and combustion uniformity. The linear burning rate or mass burning rate of cigar when it is smoldering, and the smoldering time are usually used to describe the combustibility of Nanping cigar.

[0004] The combustibility of cigar is the result of the interaction of various chemical components in the cigar at high temperature. Current research shows that the main chemical components affecting the combustibility of cigar include total sugar and reducing sugar content, plant alkaloid, total nitrogen content, volatile acid, starch, cellulose, pectin content, and potassium-chlorine ratio. Part of the existing technology records that the total sugar content, reducing sugar content and the difference between the two sugar contents are significantly positively correlated with the combustibility, while the protein, plant alkaloid and total nitrogen content are extremely significantly negatively correlated with the combustibility. When the sugar-alkali ratio and the nitrogen-alkali ratio are high, the combustibility is better. Part of the existing technology records that the correlation between the two sugar ratio and the combustibility is not significant. When the total potassium content in the cigar is increased, the cigar has lighter miscellaneous gas and improved combustibility, and the ash color is whiter. When the chlorine content in the cigar is too high, the combustibility is reduced and the ash color is poor. When the volatile acid content in the cigar is increased, the score of the combustibility of the cigar is significantly improved, and when the volatile alkali content is increased, the score of the combustibility is significantly reduced. Under the same combustion conditions, starch and cellulose have higher flammability than pectin, and the combustibility of cellulose is better than that of starch, while the combustibility of pectin is relatively poor. When the starch content in the cigar is increased, the combustibility of the cigar will be significantly reduced. Starch has good coke formation property and releases more non-combustible gas products, thereby reducing the combustibility of Nanping cigar. Cellulose is beneficial to the combustibility of Nanping cigar, but too high cellulose content will produce a choking odor and make the cigar organization rough and fragile.

[0005] Harvesting and curing are important links in the production process of Nanping cigar tobacco. Suitable harvesting maturity and reasonable temperature and humidity settings can coordinate and promote the internal chemical composition and material transformation of Nanping cigar tobacco, thereby improving the combustibility.

[0006] According to the search, there are enzyme preparations for treating tobacco, changing the content of total sugar and reducing sugar in tobacco, plant alkaline, total nitrogen content, volatile acid, starch, cellulose, pectin content and or potassium chloride ratio, etc., so as to improve the combustion of tobacco, such as non-patent document 1 ("Effect of exogenous enzyme preparation on aroma quality and combustion characteristics of flue-cured tobacco", Fan Wenju, Southwestern Agricultural Sciences, Vol. 31, No. 5, pp. 948-957, 2018) discloses that YN99 tobacco leaves are used as test materials in Qinling tobacco area, and 7 kinds of exogenous enzymes such as neutral protease, papain, flavor protease, cellulase, pectinase, saccharifying enzyme and alpha-amylase are set. However, this document only uses single enzyme preparation treatment, and does not study the combination of enzyme preparation and the mode of enzymolysis. The object of treatment is also not Nanping cigar; patent documents also exist for the improvement of enzyme preparation on tobacco or Nanping cigar tobacco leaf combustion, such as CN104939293A discloses a method for fermenting Nanping cigar tobacco leaf with pectinase, which only uses pectinase. Similarly, the single enzyme preparation has poor effect, and the influence of different models of pectinase on Nanping cigar tobacco leaf is not studied; CN103120362A discloses a method for improving the combustion of Nanping cigar tobacco leaf, which only uses single saccharifying enzyme, and the effect is not good; CN114403496A discloses a synergist for improving the combustion and ash color of fermented Nanping cigar tobacco leaf and a method for using the same, which only uses protease, and also adds reducing sugar and non-enzyme preparation means such as combustion enhancer. At present, there is no literature on the influence of Nanping cigar harvesting maturity and curing process on cigar tobacco leaf combustion.

[0007] The prior art does not study the influence of Nanping cigar harvesting maturity and curing process on cigar tobacco leaf combustion, and there is no systematic study on the complex enzyme preparation suitable for improving the combustion of Nanping cigar tobacco leaf. There is no complex enzyme preparation only by the combination of enzyme preparation, the optimization of enzymolysis mode and the control of enzymolysis parameters to improve the combustion of Nanping cigar tobacco leaf. SUMMARY

[0012] Further, the temperature for the primary enzymolysis in step (2) is 40-45℃, preferably 45℃, and more preferably 40℃.

[0013] Further, the time for the primary enzymolysis in step (2) is 30-35 minutes, preferably 30 minutes.

[0014] Further, the temperature for the secondary enzymolysis in step (2) is 30-35℃, preferably 30℃.

The fourth aspect of the present application provides a method for improving the combustibility of Nanping cigar tobacco leaves by using a complex enzyme preparation to control enzymolysis, comprising the following steps: (1) Take pectin lyase, pectin esterase, papain, beta-amylase, isoamylase, and cellulase, respectively, add them to pure water, and prepare enzyme preparation solutions with a mass concentration of 2% respectively; (2) Mix the pectin lyase, pectin esterase, and cellulase solutions, mix the papain, beta-amylase, and isoamylase solutions, place the Nanping cigar tobacco leaves in the mixed enzyme preparation solution of pectin lyase, pectin esterase, and cellulase, and perform enzymolysis at 40°C for 30 minutes, then take out the leaves, kill the enzymes, and place them in the mixed enzyme preparation solution of papain, beta-amylase, and isoamylase, and perform enzymolysis at 30°C for 25 minutes, then take out the leaves, dry them, and control the moisture content of the Nanping cigar tobacco leaves to be 12%.

[0016] The Nanping cigar tobacco leaves with improved combustibility prepared by any of the above-mentioned methods.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present specification achieves at least the following beneficial effects: (1) The present specification systematically studies the effects of harvesting maturity and curing process on Nanping cigar tobacco leaves, and the results show that the Nanping cigar tobacco leaves prepared by the M1LTHH process (harvesting maturity is green, and the curing process is: wilting period humidity 95-98%RH, temperature 22-25°C, yellowing period humidity 90-95%RH, temperature 25-28°C, browning period humidity 85-90%RH, temperature 28-31°C, color fixing period humidity 70-80%RH, temperature 31-34°C, dry tendon period humidity 60-70%RH, temperature 31-34°C) or the M2LTHH process can improve the combustibility thereof.

[0019] (3) The present specification studies the effects of different enzyme hydrolysis methods on the combustibility of Nanping cigar tobacco leaves, and selects the method of first mixing pectin lyase, pectin esterase, and cellulase for enzyme hydrolysis, and then mixing papain, beta-amylase, and isoamylase solution for enzyme hydrolysis, which can significantly improve the combustibility of Nanping cigar tobacco leaves. The possible reason is that pectin lyase, pectin esterase, and cellulase are all wall-breaking enzymes, which can damage the cell wall of plants and make the internal structure loose, so that papain, beta-amylase, and isoamylase can more easily combine with their respective substrates, thereby improving the efficiency of enzyme hydrolysis.

[0020] (4) The present application significantly improves the combustibility of Nanping cigar tobacco leaves by controlling the first enzymolysis temperature and time, and the second enzymolysis temperature and time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

The curing process was set as four treatments, i.e. low temperature and high humidity (LTHH), medium temperature and high humidity (MTHH), low temperature and medium humidity (LTMH) and medium temperature and medium humidity (MTMH). There were 12 treatments in total. The picking maturity of the cigar tobacco leaves was determined by the color appearance.

Brightness ( The ash content and whiteness gradually decrease with increasing temperature, but gradually increase with increasing humidity. LTHH has the highest ash brightness and the color closest to white-gray. The burning rate gradually decreases with increasing temperature and humidity, while LTMH has the highest burning rate.

[0041] Table 10 Combustibility and ash content of different drying processes The Influence of Harvest Maturity and Drying Process on the Combustibility and Ash Content of Cigar Tobacco Leaves As shown in Table 11, under the interaction of different harvest maturity levels and different drying processes, the combustibility and ash content of cigar tobacco leaves changed to varying degrees. Brightness, whiteness, and burning rate showed highly significant differences among the treatments. The M1LTHH treatment had the highest ash brightness, followed by the M2LTHH and M3MTMH treatments, while the M3LTMH treatment had the lowest ash brightness.

The M3MTMH treatment had the highest burning rate, followed by the M1LTHH and M3LTHH treatments, while the M3MTMH treatment had the lowest burning rate.

[0042] Table 11 Combustibility and Ash Content of Harvest Maturity and Drying Process The Influence of Harvest Maturity and Drying Process on the Sensory Quality of Cigar Tobacco Leaves From Table 12, it can be seen that different harvesting maturities and curing processes have different effects on the aroma characteristics, smoke characteristics, aftertaste characteristics and combustion characteristics of cigar leaves. M2LTMH and M3MTMH perform best in terms of aroma characteristics, followed by M1LTMH, M1MTHH, etc.; M1LTMH and M2MTHH perform best in terms of smoke characteristics, followed by M1MTHH, M2LTMH, etc.; M1MTHH, M2MTMH and M2MTHH perform best in terms of aftertaste characteristics, followed by M1LTMH, M1LTHH, etc.; M1LTHH, M1MTMH and M2LTHH perform best in terms of combustion characteristics, followed by M3LTMH, M3LTHH, etc.; the overall sensory quality score of M1LTHH and M2LTHH is the highest, followed by M1MTHH, M3LTHH and M2MTHH, etc. The overall description of the sensory quality of M1LTHH and M2LTHH is that the aroma amount is sufficient, the richness is high, the maturity is good, the smoke is delicate and soft, the irritation is small, the aftertaste is good, the taste is clean and the sweet feeling is strong, and the combustion is good, the ash is grayish white, and the ash condensation degree is high.

[0043] Table 12 Sensory quality of cigar leaves with different harvesting maturities and curing processes According to the feedback of cigar sensory evaluation experts, the treatment with harvesting maturity M1 and low-temperature high-humidity curing process has no obvious alkaline odor, followed by the treatment with harvesting maturity M2 and low-temperature high-humidity curing process, and the other treatments have slight or slightly alkaline odor.

[0044] In summary, the green (M1) harvesting maturity and the low-temperature high-humidity (LTHH) curing process, i.e. the M1LTHH process (harvesting maturity green, curing process: wilting period humidity 95-98%RH, temperature 22-25℃, yellowing period humidity 90-95%RH, temperature 25-28℃, browning period humidity 85-90%RH, temperature 28-31℃, color fixing period humidity 70-80%RH, temperature 31-34℃, dry period humidity 60-70%RH, temperature 31-34℃) or the M2LTHH process are selected to prepare Nanping cigar leaves.

[0045] Example 2 Effect of different enzyme preparations on the combustion of Nanping cigar leaves According to the prior art, the main chemical components affecting the combustion of Nanping cigar include total sugar and reducing sugar content, plant alkaloid, total nitrogen content, volatile acid, starch, cellulose, pectin content, potassium-chlorine ratio, etc., and pectinase, protease, amylase, cellulase and hemicellulase all affect the above components. Therefore, the above enzyme preparations are selected to study their effects on the combustion of Nanping cigar leaves (prepared by the M1LTHH process), and the specific steps are as follows: (1) Take different enzyme preparations: pectinase (pectin lyase, polygalacturonase, pectin esterase), protease (papain, alkaline protease, neutral protease, flavor protease), amylase (a-amylase, b-amylase, saccharifying enzyme, isoamylase), cellulase, hemicellulase, respectively added in pure water, prepared into enzyme preparation solution with mass concentration of 2%; (2) Put Nanping cigar tobacco leaves in enzyme preparation solution respectively, and carry out enzymolysis at 35℃ for 30 minutes, take out and dry, and control the moisture content of Nanping cigar tobacco leaves to be 12%. The specific determination results are shown in Table 13.

[0046] Table 13 According to Table 13, under the same enzyme preparation addition amount, pectin lyase and pectin esterase in pectinase, papain in protease, b-amylase saccharifying enzyme and isoamylase in amylase, and cellulase can improve the combustibility of Nanping cigar tobacco leaves, compared with other pectinase, protease, amylase and hemicellulase; compared with the blank group, the enzyme preparation group can improve the combustibility of Nanping cigar tobacco leaves. Therefore, pectin lyase, pectin esterase, papain, b-amylase saccharifying enzyme, isoamylase and cellulase are selected as the compound enzyme preparation.

[0047] Example 3 Influence of different enzymolysis modes on the combustibility of Nanping cigar tobacco leaves (1) Take pectin lyase, pectin esterase, papain, b-amylase, isoamylase and cellulase, respectively added in pure water, and respectively prepared into enzyme preparation solution with mass concentration of 2%. (2) Scheme 1: Mix pectin lyase, pectin esterase and cellulase solution, mix papain, b-amylase and isoamylase solution, put Nanping cigar tobacco leaves in the mixed enzyme preparation solution of pectin lyase, pectin esterase and cellulase, carry out enzymolysis at 35℃ for 30 minutes, take out and place in the mixed enzyme preparation solution of papain, b-amylase and isoamylase after enzyme inactivation, carry out enzymolysis at 35℃ for 30 minutes, take out and dry, and control the moisture content of Nanping cigar tobacco leaves to be 12%.

[0048] Scheme 2: Mix pectin lyase, pectin esterase and cellulase solution, mix papain, b-amylase and isoamylase solution, put Nanping cigar tobacco leaves in the mixed enzyme preparation solution of papain, b-amylase and isoamylase, carry out enzymolysis at 35℃ for 30 minutes, take out and place in the mixed enzyme preparation solution of pectin lyase, pectin esterase and cellulase after enzyme inactivation, carry out enzymolysis at 35℃ for 30 minutes, take out and dry, and control the moisture content of Nanping cigar tobacco leaves to be 12%.

[0049] Scheme 3: Pectin lyase, pectin esterase, papain solution is mixed, β-amylase, isoamylase, cellulase solution is mixed, Nanping cigar tobacco is placed in the mixed enzyme preparation solution of pectin lyase, pectin esterase, papain, and is enzymolyzed at 35℃ for 30 minutes, taken out and dried after enzyme inactivation, placed in the mixed enzyme preparation solution of β-amylase, isoamylase, cellulase, and is enzymolyzed at 35℃ for 30 minutes, taken out and dried, and the moisture content of Nanping cigar tobacco is controlled to be 12%.

[0050] Scheme 4: Pectin lyase, pectin esterase, papain, β-amylase, isoamylase, cellulase solution is mixed, Nanping cigar tobacco is placed in the mixed enzyme preparation solution of pectin lyase, pectin esterase, cellulase, papain, β-amylase, isoamylase, and is enzymolyzed at 35℃ for 30 minutes, taken out and dried, and the moisture content of Nanping cigar tobacco is controlled to be 12%; The burning property of Nanping cigar tobacco is determined according to the method of Example 1, and the specific results are shown in Table 14. Table 14 According to Table 14, under the same enzymolysis time of 30 minutes of each enzyme preparation, scheme 1, i.e., first mixed enzyme solution of pectin lyase, pectin esterase and cellulase, and then mixed enzyme solution of papain, β-amylase and isoamylase, can significantly improve the burning property of Nanping cigar tobacco, and is better than schemes 2-4. The possible reason is that pectin lyase, pectin esterase and cellulase are all wall-breaking enzymes, which can destroy the cell wall of plants and make the internal structure loose, so that papain, β-amylase and isoamylase can more easily combine with their respective substrates, thereby improving the efficiency of enzymolysis.
