After the reaction is completed, the butterfly valve is opened to discharge the material.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] In step 1, the tobacco shreds are replaced with licorice slices, and the rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0032] Embodiment 3:

[0033] Extraction in step 1. One hundred kg of distilled water is sucked into the tank through the pipeline at the vacuum interface 2, and the steam opening is set to 15%, the stirring speed is 30 rpm, the final heating temperature of the anchor stirring paddle is 8° C., and the heating time is 4 hours. Others are the same as in Example 1.

[0034] In step 4, 5 kg of glucose and 2 kg of lysine are added into the tank through the feeding port 6, and the concentrated liquid in step 1 is sucked through the pipeline at the vacuum interface 2.

[0035] The same group of unflavored and unfilled cigarette leaves were used to evaluate the flavors prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1, and their aroma quality, aroma volume, irritation and aftertaste were compared.

[0036] Table 1 is the overall quality analysis results of the cigarettes in Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention

[0037]

[0038]

[0039] Note: With reference to traditional cigarette smoking evaluation and combined with the research content of the present invention, aroma quality, aroma quantity, stimulation and aftertaste are mainly selected as the main evaluation items. The more “+”, the better the overall quality of the cigarette.

[0040] Comparative studies show that the tobacco flavors prepared by using Examples 1 to 3 are significantly better than those of Comparative Example 1 in terms of aroma quality and aroma volume. In addition, the Maillard reaction also improves the irritation and aftertaste of cigarettes.

It can not only realize the extraction of tobacco, but also realize the extraction and deep processing of natural products such as licorice tablets, psoralea corylifolia, and red dates. In addition, the extraction tank is provided with a condensation reflux system, and the solvent in the tank is evaporated by heat and can enter the heat exchanger for condensation and then reflux pumped into the tank body, effectively avoiding the loss of the aroma of natural products.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that: Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly explaining the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from this are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
