The invention discloses a method for preparing milk-
flavor tobacco essence from
tobacco leaf waste and application of the milk-
flavor tobacco essence in cigarettes. The method comprises the following steps: (1) preparation of a Co-Pt micro-nano particle catalyst: dissolving CoCl2. 6H2O and PtCl2 in
ethylene glycol, adding a surfactant PVP, and uniformly stirring; adding N2H4.H2O, stirring, sealing the
mixed solution into a reaction kettle, keeping the temperature at 150-180 DEG C for 8-12 hours, cooling and collecting black
powder; and washing with absolute ethyl
alcohol and
drying. (2)
catalytic oxidation reaction: adding the
tobacco leaf residues after supercritical extraction, a catalyst, 4-methyl
guaiacol and / or
vanillyl alcohol and an
ethanol-water mixed
solvent into a reaction kettle, introducing
oxygen, pressurizing to 2-3MPa, stirring and heating to 160-180 DEG C, reacting for 4-12h, centrifuging turbid liquid, and taking supernatant liquid, namely the milk-
flavor tobacco essence; and (3) catalyst
recovery:
drying, sieving and cleaning centrifuged
solid residues, and recovering the catalyst. The equipment is simple, the preparation method is green and efficient, the sensory quality of the obtained absolute oil is outstanding, and the
smoke state is obviously improved.
