BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0025] FIG. 1 is a comparison diagram of the heater paste core condition of the electronic atomizer of the examples and the comparative examples of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] To provide a clear and consistent understanding of the terminology used in the description of the present disclosure, some definitions are provided below. In addition, unless specifically stated otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used in the present disclosure have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs.
[0027] Throughout the specification, unless otherwise specifically indicated, the terms used herein are to be understood in the manner as commonly used in the art. Therefore, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as generally understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs.
[0028] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terms "comprise", "contain" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the method or device comprising a series of elements not only includes the elements explicitly listed, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or includes the elements inherent in the implementation of the method or device. Without more limitation, the element defined by the sentence "comprises a" does not exclude the presence of other related elements in the method or device comprising the element.
[0029] The tobacco is similar to the tobacco of Sichuan Province, the tobacco leaf is slightly thick, the leaf shape is wide and oily, the leaf edge is undulating, the leaf stalk is thick, the leaf surface is red and smooth, the oil is sufficient, the toughness is good, the fragrance is mellow, the sugar content is low, the combustion is good, the ignition is fast, the ash is white, and the quality is very good. The tobacco is obtained by natural drying of fresh tobacco leaves, and the tobacco extract obtained by conventional extraction has heavy green and miscellaneous odor, strong pungent taste and large irritation, resulting in inharmonious smoke, monotonous fragrance and insufficient fragrance, especially the unique acid odor in the smoke gives people an unpleasant feeling.
[0030] At present, different extraction and separation technologies are actively explored at home and abroad to obtain flavoring substances suitable for electronic cigarette oil from various tobaccos. The main extraction and separation technologies include solvent extraction method, supercritical extraction method, molecular distillation method, rectification method and dry distillation method, etc. Among them, the dry distillation method is a reaction process of heating and decomposing solid substances under the condition of isolating air, which has been widely studied and applied in the field of biomass energy. For example, CN109480327B discloses a preparation method of tobacco refined high-temperature dry distillation product, wherein the tobacco is dry distilled at 120-250℃, the distillate is collected, and the high-temperature dry distillation product of tobacco is obtained; the high-temperature dry distillation product is extracted with an organic solvent, and the organic phase is separated and collected. After the organic phase is concentrated and dried, the refined high-temperature dry distillation product is obtained.
[0031] CN114504119 A discloses a tobacco flavor extraction method, which adds tobacco raw materials into a water vapor distillation-dry distillation device, increases the water vapor distillation-dry distillation temperature by heating, and collects distillate at each temperature section according to the temperature; each section of distillate is extracted with a solvent, and desolventized and concentrated to obtain a tobacco flavor that can be used for flavoring new tobacco products.
[0032] However, the above prior art has certain defects, and therefore there is still a need to improve the preparation method of tobacco extract.
[0033] Therefore, the first aspect of the present disclosure provides a preparation method of a pipe tobacco extract. In the method of the present disclosure, a solvent vapor dry distillation process is used, i.e., dry distillation extraction of pipe tobacco by solvent vapor under certain heating temperature conditions, reflux components and distillate components are collected respectively, and the reflux components and distillate components are compounded in a certain proportion, so as to obtain a pipe tobacco extract with rich aroma, significantly reduced tobacco odor and excellent paste resistance. The extraction of pipe tobacco by this method does not have the problem of residual organic solvent, and the process operation is simple and the production cost is low.
[0034] Specifically, the method of the present disclosure comprises:
[0035] 1) dry distillation extraction of pipe tobacco by solvent vapor;
[0036] 2) collecting reflux components and distillate components respectively; and
[0037] 3) compounding the reflux components and distillate components in a mass ratio of 1:1 to 1:10 to obtain a pipe tobacco extract.
[0038] The method of the present application is suitable for the preparation of pipe tobacco extract. It should be understood that the method of the present disclosure can be used to prepare other tobacco extracts, such as one or more of burley tobacco extract, sun-cured tobacco extract, flue-cured tobacco extract, Oriental tobacco extract, Virginia tobacco extract, and cigar tobacco extract.
[0039] In some embodiments, the solvent used for dry distillation extraction by solvent vapor is selected from one or more of propylene glycol, glycerol, ethanol, and water. Dry distillation extraction of pipe tobacco using the vapor of the above solvents, combined with appropriate dry distillation conditions (such as temperature, time, etc.), can selectively extract specific components in pipe tobacco, while minimizing the extraction of acid odor substances such as isovaleric acid, butyric acid, fumaric acid, phenylacetic acid, and propionic acid.
[0040] In some embodiments, propylene glycol or glycerol, or a mixture of glycerol and propylene glycol is used as the solvent. It should be understood that propylene glycol and glycerol are commonly used as solvents for electronic cigarette atomization substrates, in which propylene glycol can produce a throat hit, and glycerol can be used for smoke production. When propylene glycol or glycerol, or a mixture of the two, is used as a solvent for steam distillation of tobacco shreds, the residue of other organic solvents can be avoided, and the safety for human body is higher.
[0041] In some embodiments, the tobacco shreds are subjected to distillation extraction using solvent vapor, in which the mass ratio of the tobacco shreds to the solvent used is 1:1 to 1:5, such as 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3, 1:3.5, 1:4, 1:4.5, or 1:5. In some specific embodiments, the mass ratio of the tobacco shreds to the solvent used is 1:1, 1:3, 1:4, or 1:5.
[0042] It should be understood that distillation is a pyrolysis process, which refers to a chemical change in which organic matter is heated and decomposed in the absence of oxygen or in the presence of low oxygen, producing different products such as gas, liquid, and solid. In the present disclosure, distillation is performed using solvent vapor, which means that the solvent vapor is used to drive the thermal motion of organic matter molecules, so as to promote the decomposition of the organic matter. This kind of distillation process can uniformly heat the reaction system, and ensure the uniformity and controllability of the reaction.
[0043] In some embodiments, the temperature increasing rate of the above-mentioned distillation is 5°C / min to 15°C / min, such as 5°C / min, 6°C / min, 7°C / min, 8°C / min, 9°C / min, 10°C / min, 11°C / min, 12°C / min, 13°C / min, 14°C / min, or 15°C / min. Within this temperature increasing rate range, the thermal decomposition rate of the tobacco shreds can be effectively controlled, which is helpful for more uniform pyrolysis. In a specific embodiment, the temperature increasing rate of the above-mentioned distillation is 10°C / min.
[0044] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned distillation is performed at 100°C to 400°C, such as at 100°C, 150°C, 200°C, 250°C, 300°C, 350°C, or 400°C. Performing distillation within this temperature range can achieve a high degree of cracking of macromolecular substances, and can maximize the extraction of target components, while avoiding the negative effects caused by the introduction of undesirable substances. In some specific embodiments, the above-mentioned distillation is performed at 250°C or 300°C.
[0045] In some embodiments, the dry distillation is performed for 1 h to 4 h, such as 1 h, 1.5 h, 2 h, 2.5 h, 3 h, 3.5 h, 4 h. The dry distillation is performed for a time within the above range, which can ensure that the tobacco shreds are sufficiently pyrolyzed and extracted by the steam, and more target products can be obtained, while energy can be saved, efficiency can be improved, and the generation of by-products with burnt smell can be avoided. In a specific embodiment, the dry distillation is performed for 2 h.
[0046] In some embodiments, the reflux component and the distillate component are collected separately. The reflux component, i.e., the portion that fails to be distilled, is refluxed into the dry distillation container (e.g., a flask), and is collected by one-off collection. The distillate component, i.e., the component that is evaporated at the dry distillation temperature (e.g., 100°C to 400°C) and condensed into the collection bottle by condensation.
[0047] In some embodiments, the distillate component is collected at a condensation temperature of 5°C to 10°C, such as 5°C, 6°C, 7°C, 8°C, 9°C, 10°C. In a specific embodiment, the condensation temperature is set to 5°C. By collecting the distillate component at the above condensation temperature, more target products can be collected.
[0048] In some embodiments, the reflux component and the distillate component are recombined in a mass ratio of 1:1 to 1:10, such as 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8, 1:9, 1:10. The reflux component and the distillate component are recombined in the above mass ratio, and the recombined product has a more coordinated overall aroma and does not introduce too much undesirable odor to affect the overall sensory experience. In some specific embodiments, the mass ratio is 1:1 to 1:3.
[0049] The present disclosure also provides a tobacco extract prepared according to the method of the first aspect of the present disclosure.
[0050] In some embodiments, the acid odor chemical component in the tobacco extract is less than 0.001 μg / g, wherein the acid odor chemical component is preferably selected from one or more of isovaleric acid, butyric acid, fumaric acid, phenylacetic acid, and propionic acid. It should be understood that, in addition to the above chemical components, the tobacco extract of the present disclosure does not contain other substances that cause acid odor, and “does not contain” herein means that the content of the corresponding substance is less than the detection limit of a GC-MS / MS (model: Agilent 5977B GC / MSD 8890GC System).
[0051] The present disclosure also provides an atomization substrate (e-cigarette oil) comprising the tobacco extract of the second aspect of the present disclosure.
[0052] In some embodiments, the mass percentage of the tobacco extract in the atomized substrate is 0.2% to 5%, preferably 0.5% to 2%, relative to the total mass of the atomized substrate.
[0053] In addition to the tobacco extract of the present application, the atomized substrate can include other additional components, such as solvents, additives.
[0054] The solvent in the atomized substrate is used to dissolve various components in the atomized substrate and generate aerosol during atomization, so that the consumer has the feeling of swallowing clouds and spitting mist. For example, the solvent is at least one selected from water, ethanol, ethylene glycol, propanol, propylene glycol, glycerol, butanol, butanediol, butanetriol, benzyl alcohol, triethyl citrate, glyceryl triacetate, and capryl capryl glycerol. The present application does not particularly limit the amount and proportion of the solvent, and any amount and proportion of the solvent commonly used in the atomized substrate can be used in the atomized substrate of the present application.
[0055] The additives in the atomized substrate can include at least one of a sweetener, a cooling agent, and an organic acid. The cooling agent and the sweetener can further provide different flavoring mouthfeel. The organic acid can further reduce the irritation to the throat and improve the satisfaction to a certain extent. The present application does not particularly limit the types of the sweetener, the cooling agent, and the organic acid, and those commonly used can be used in the atomized liquid. By way of example, the cooling agent can be WS-3, WS-5, WS-12, WS-14, WS-23, WS-25, WS-27, menthol, menthyl ether, and menthyl ester, but is not limited thereto. By way of example, the organic acid can be acetic acid, butyric acid, 2-methylbutyric acid, lactic acid, acetylpropionic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, benzoic acid, and citric acid, but is not limited thereto. By way of example, the sweetener can be neotame, advantame, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, glucosylated steviol glycoside, aspartame, hesperidin dihydrochalcone, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone, and naringin dihydrochalcone, but is not limited thereto. The present disclosure does not particularly limit the amount of the sweetener, the cooling agent, and the organic acid.
[0056] It should be understood that the present application does not particularly limit the method for preparing the atomized substrate, which can generally include the step of mixing the components uniformly. According to some embodiments, the components can be heated and mixed, for example, at about 30°C to 50°C for 10 to 20 minutes.
[0057] The present disclosure is described in more detail by the following examples, which should be understood as being exemplary and for the purpose of explaining the present application only, and cannot be construed as limiting the present application. If no specific technique or condition is specified in the examples, the technique or condition described in the literature in the art or according to the product specification is used.
