Incense manufacturing method and incense

Abstract

To solve the problem that commercially available rose incense kits cannot make a favorite rose scent because synthetic rose oil whose scent is scientifically reproduced and synthesized is used instead of rose oil extracted from fresh rose flowers, which cannot be used therefor due to profitability; and also to solve the problem that with a combination of only rose distilled warm water and powder, strong smell of the powder will overwhelm rose scent, and furthermore, if drying is insufficient, mold will grow on the work (incense).SOLUTION: There is provided a Rosa rugosa incense with a favorite scent that is made by using, instead of synthetic rose oil, Rosa rugosa, a deciduous shrub, of the genus Rosa, Rosaceae family, and that is also an incense on which mold hardly grows. An incense manufacturing method includes: distilling Rosa rugosa distilled warm water from Rosa rugosa flowers by a steam distillation method; and mixing the Rosa rugosa distilled warm water with powder of a commercially available rose kit, thereby, allowing changing the scent of the incense into an incense containing the scent of own favorite Rosa rugosa scent.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing incense that utilizes the aroma of a plant that one likes, and to the incense. [Background technology]

[0002] Nowadays, scented incense, especially rose, is made from a mixture of powder, rose distilled water, and synthetic rose oil.

[0003] Rose scents are classified into three types: light, medium, and strong, and it is said that only about 0.02% of rose oil is natural. In other words, only 2g can be obtained from 10kg of rose flowers, so scientifically synthesized rose oil is used. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent application 2022-171818 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In Patent Document 1, synthetic rose oil is used, so the scent of the boiled rose water collected by steam distillation is overpowered by the scent of the synthetic rose oil, resulting in a uniform scent. If synthetic rose oil is not used and only powder and distilled rose water are used, the scent of the powder will be overpowered and mold will easily grow.

[0006] In the incense making process, the amount of natural rose oil that gives off the fragrance is very small in nature (0.02% by weight) and is expensive, so synthetic rose oil whose fragrance has been scientifically reproduced and synthesized is used. Therefore, it is mass-produced and has a fixed fragrance, making it difficult to make incense with the scent of your choice.

[0007] To provide an incense which, using only the powder of a commercially available bulk kit and boiling water, is as strong as the powder and is also resistant to mold growth, and can provide a desired fragrance without using synthetic bulk oil. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, instead of synthetic rose oil By using the deciduous shrub Rugosaurus, The invention is characterized in that it is possible to make a favorite scent of Hamanasu incense and at the same time provide an incense that is resistant to mold growth. The invention is characterized in that Hamanasu distilled water is distilled from Hamanasu flowers by steam distillation, and this Hamanasu distilled water is mixed with powder from a commercially available rose kit, thereby changing the scent of the incense to one that contains the favorite Hamanasu scent. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, a good quality incense with a favorite scent can be easily and inexpensively produced without using synthetic rose oil. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0010] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the steps of making incense according to the present invention. [Diagram 2] 1 is a photograph of a steam distillation apparatus and distillation process for producing Hamanasu distilled hot water according to embodiment 1 of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiment 1

[0011] Next, a method for making incense in the first embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first embodiment 1, powder 201 (e.g., Tabu powder) and rosehip distilled water 402 are placed in a mortar 101 and kneaded 102 until it becomes clay-like (material kneading process). Next, this kneaded clay-like material is flattened using hands or the like until it reaches a specified thickness 103 (expanding process). Then, this flattened material is finished into incense 106 in a specified shape (e.g., heart shape, diamond shape, etc.) using an external forming mold 104 and a mold embossing 105 (molding process).

[0012] The Hamanasu distilled water is produced in the following procedure. A predetermined amount of your favorite Hamanasu flowers (not shown) is placed in kiln 502, and at the same time a predetermined amount of water is also placed in kiln 502 and heated by heater 501. The boiling water vapor contains the fragrance components of Hamanasu and passes through pipe 503 to cooling tank 504. Pipe 503 inside cooling tank 504 is spiral-shaped. For example, cold water from a tap is constantly flowing inside cooling tank 504, and the water vapor in pipe 503 containing the fragrance components of Hamanasu condenses to become Hamanasu distilled water 402, which flows out from collection port 505 and is collected in beaker 506.

[0013] It has been experimentally confirmed that by using this Hamanasu distilled water 402 in place of the rose distilled water 202 in FIG. 1, incense makers can create incense with their own unique scent without adding commercially available synthetic rose oil.

[0014] Furthermore, by using Hamanasu Distilled Water 402, the scent of the powder, which was produced by combining Rose Distilled Water 202 and the powder alone, became weaker and turned into the scent of Hamanasu. Also, the mold that had been growing on the incense sticks has disappeared.

[0015] This is because rosehip flowers contain a high content of fragrances with different aromatic characteristics than regular roses, i.e., alcoholic components with a flower-like scent(*). It has also been said that rosehip distilled water has an antibacterial effect(*), and this has been verified through experiments.

[0017] In the first embodiment described above, the powder 201 and the rosehip distilled water 402 are put into the mortar 101 and kneaded until they become clay-like, but this powder 201, the rosehip distilled water 402, and further the natural rose distilled water 202 may be added and kneaded until they become clay-like. In this case, the fragrance of the finished incense will be even stronger.

[0018] In the first embodiment, a normal steam distillation method is used to extract the Hamanasu distilled water, but it is also possible to obtain a more precise distilled water by distilling while drawing pressure in the distillation chamber with a negative pressure pump.
