This invention discloses a tobacco flavoring, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of tobacco
processing technology. The flavoring comprises a cigar tobacco extract prepared by hot
reflux extraction of cigar tobacco leaves with
ethanol, followed by LX-8 macroporous adsorption resin
column chromatography and precise collection and concentration of the 90%
volume fraction of
ethanol eluent. It preferably contains specific modifying components such as coffee extract, methyl
ionone, and
ethyl maltol, as well as
propylene glycol. The key to its preparation method lies in mixing the components under an
inert atmosphere, followed by dynamic aging and static aging treatments, with
pH stability as the aging endpoint criterion. Applying this flavoring to reconstituted tobacco leaves and cigarettes can specifically enhance the natural tobacco
aroma weakened by the
tar reduction process, and significantly improve the harmony, purity, and
aftertaste comfort of the
aroma, effectively solving the technical problem of poor integration between traditional added flavorings and the tobacco matrix.
