Technical Field

The utility model relates to the technical field of cigarette preparation, in particular to a cooling and flavoring method for cigarette suction.

Background

The essence is a mixture prepared by manpower and containing more than two or even dozens of flavors (sometimes containing proper solvents or carriers) and has a certain fragrance. With the development of cigarette industry, essence and spice can be added in different steps according to different types of cigarettes in the preparation process of cigarettes, so that cigarettes with different flavor types can be produced to meet the demands of different consumers.

Flavoring is carried out in cigarettes, typically by adding flavors and fragrances to the filter rod, the smoke segment, or directly to the cigarette paper.

The Chinese patent utility model patent CN204048009U discloses a composite type individual aroma enhancement filter stick added to the filter stick, which comprises a filter core, wherein the filter core is wrapped with forming paper, the forming paper is wrapped with tipping paper, the filter core is composed of a common acetate fiber filter core section, a cavity section and a groove section pressed on the forming paper, the common acetate fiber filter core section is sequentially connected with the cavity section, an aroma line penetrates through the middle of the common acetate fiber filter core section, and aroma capsules are placed in the cavity section. According to the composite type individual aroma-enhancing filter stick, a smoker can independently select whether to extrude the spice capsule of the cavity section or not under the condition of less physical damage, and the spice capsule is combined with the aroma lines to obtain various different tastes, so that one cigarette can provide three different experiences for the smoker, and the acceptability of the smoker for low-tar cigarettes is enhanced.

For example, chinese patent utility model CN115364782a added to a smoke generating section discloses a preparation method of a slow release type essence material, comprising the following steps: s1 adsorption: placing the mesoporous hollow nano silicon spheres in an essence and spice solution, standing for 2-5h, and obtaining the mesoporous hollow nano silicon spheres added with the essence and spice after standing is completed for later use; s2, preparing a composite essence material: and (3) wrapping the mesoporous hollow nano silicon spheres treated in the step (S1) by a coating layer, and drying under a low-temperature condition after the coating is finished to obtain the composite essence material. The utility model aims to enable the essence and the spice to be prepared into a sheet shape or a particle shape, on one hand, the volatilization of the aroma can be reduced in the storage process, and on the other hand, the essence and the spice are easy to add into a filter stick or a cigarette bullet, so that the aroma of the essence can be continuously and slowly released when the cigarette or the cigarette bullet is sucked, and the experience of consumers is improved.

The Chinese patent utility model patent CN210946294U added to the cigarette paper relates to a flavored cigarette paper, which comprises a cigarette paper substrate, a glue applying layer, a microcapsule layer arranged on the outer surface of the glue applying layer and a glue coating layer arranged on the outer surface of the microcapsule layer. The surface of the cigarette paper substrate, which is contacted with the microcapsule layer, is provided with a sizing layer, and the sizing layer consists of a sizing agent and a capsule shell material. According to the technical scheme, the microcapsule layer and the glue coating layer are arranged on the cigarette paper substrate, so that the microcapsule layer is not contacted with the outside, meanwhile, the mixed layer is formed by adding the capsule shell material into the sizing agent, the adhesiveness between the microcapsule and the cigarette paper substrate is improved, and the microcapsule cannot permeate through the cigarette paper substrate or the glue coating layer due to the use of the glue coating layer, so that the essence and the spice in the microcapsule cannot volatilize, and the quality of the cigarette paper is improved.

However, the above perfuming method still has the following drawbacks: the temperature is very high in the combustion process of the cigarettes, so that the temperature of the flavored essence is possibly too high, and the flavor is lost or changed; the second part of the flavoring still has volatilization loss after long-time storage; thirdly, the flavored parts are wrapped, and by adopting sizing and gluing, harmful substances can be released at high temperature, so that the health is endangered.

Changes may be made in the function and arrangement of elements described without departing from the scope of the application.

For example, the described methods may be performed in a different order than described, and various steps may be added, omitted, or combined. Furthermore, features described with respect to some examples may be combined into other examples.

Examples: referring to fig. 1, the method for cooling and flavoring for smoking cigarettes of the utility model comprises the following steps:

In the utility model, the main body part of the flavoring particles is adopted for flavoring, but after the preparation of the flavoring particles is finished, polylactic acid is required to be arranged at the outer side of the flavoring particles for shielding, wherein a polylactic acid product is used for coating the outer surface of the flavoring particles, the flavoring particles are separated from the outside to a certain extent, the separated flavoring particles are finally added into the cigarettes, and when the cigarettes are burnt and sucked, the smoke is cooled by the polylactic acid product and then carries the aroma in the flavoring particles to reach the mouth of a smoker, so that the purposes of cooling and flavoring of the cigarettes are achieved.

Firstly, the perfuming particles should be plant extraction particles, and the main component is preferably particles formed by fully mixing solid and liquid of plant materials, heating and condensing.

Of course, the plant material can also be solid or liquid, such as one or more of fresh flower essential oil, chinese medicinal extract, and spice extract; solids such as one or more of gramineae plant particles, gelatin, sodium alginate, diatom ooze, methylcellulose, rush chitosan, and lignin; the medium for sufficiently mixing the solid and the liquid may be water, glycerol, propylene glycol, diacetin, or the like.

The obtained plant extract flavoring granule can be solid granule or explosive bead granule.

It should be noted that the particle size of the plant extract perfuming particles is small, and the mesh number is generally not less than 80 mesh, which is equivalent to the particle diameter of the perfuming particles not more than 200 micrometers (the particle diameter corresponding to 80 woods is about 180 micrometers); this makes it possible to more conveniently add the perfuming particles to the cigarettes.

The flue gas passing through the perfuming particles has plant fragrance, so that the fragrance is more sufficient and relaxed, and the suction taste is improved.

In addition, the polylactic acid product can be of a particle structure or a liquid structure;

when the polylactic acid part is of a particle structure, namely polylactic acid particles, the outer diameter of the polylactic acid particles is smaller than that of the perfuming particles, so that the plurality of polylactic acid particles can be distributed on the outer surfaces of the perfuming particles as large as possible, and the outer sides of the perfuming particles are coated as much as possible.

When the polylactic acid part is in a liquid structure, the polylactic acid part is polylactic acid solution, so that the polylactic acid part is coated on the outer surface of the perfuming particles to form a polylactic acid film. Thus, the coating effect on the plant perfuming particles is better, and the coating area is larger.

The two polylactic acid structures are convenient to process, and the latter is thoroughly coated and selected according to specific cigarette suction conditions.

For example, when the high-end cigarette is smoked and the taste is soft, the polylactic acid part with a liquid structure is coated on the outer surface of the perfuming particles; when the smoke generating section of the cigarette adopts the reconstituted cut stems, namely the combustion temperature is slightly low, the polylactic acid particles and the flavoring particles are mixed for adding.

If the polylactic acid product is in a particle structure, the mesh number of the polylactic acid particles is not less than 150 meshes, namely the particle diameter of the polylactic acid particles is not more than 100 microns.

Likewise, the ratio of the mass usage of the perfuming particles to the mass usage of the polylactic acid particles is in the range of 1:2 to 1:10; namely, the mass dosage of the polylactic acid particles is 2 to 10 times that of the perfuming particles, and the area of the outer surface of the perfuming particles is increased as much as possible.

If the polylactic acid part is in a liquid structure, in order to enable the polylactic acid part to better cover the perfuming particles, the following method can be adopted: the flavoring particles are arranged in the polylactic acid solution, and ultrasonic vibration is used for 3-5 minutes, so that the polylactic acid workpieces are uniformly coated on the outer surfaces of the flavoring particles.

In one embodiment of the present utility model, when the flavoring particles are added to a cigarette, the flavoring particles coated with polylactic acid may be added to a cigarette filter rod or may be added to a smoke section of the cigarette, and of course, when the obtained plant extract flavoring particles are pure solid particles, the flavoring particles are preferably added to the cigarette filter rod; when the obtained plant extract perfuming particles are pop-bead type particles, the particles are preferably added into a smoke section of a cigarette.

In addition, when the flavoring particles are added to the cigarettes, active carbon is added to the filter sticks of the cigarettes at the same time, and fragrance filtration of the cigarettes is performed.

Because the physicochemical properties of the smoke components are extremely complex, the time for which the polylactic acid can act in the filtration process is extremely short, and the ideal selectivity reduction is difficult to realize; but the component substances in the smoke mainly comprise gas-phase substances and grain-phase substances, wherein the aroma of the smoke is mainly attached to the grain-phase substances such as tar, and the polylactic acid fiber bundles have lower filterability and can ensure higher aroma components in the smoke.

In addition, the gas phase substances are filtered, and the gas phase substances comprise wood gas, volatile carbonyl compounds, HCN, unit phenol substances and other gas phase substances; these gases all affect the suction taste, and polylactic acid fiber tows have higher filterability for wood gases, but lower filterability for volatile carbonyls, HCN, monophenols, and some other gaseous materials.

Removal of the gas phase material is accomplished in three main ways, adsorption (e.g., activated carbon added filter), absorption and chemical reactions. Permanent gases such as CO and N2 at normal temperature cannot be adsorbed and removed by the activated carbon; some other gases are adsorbed to varying degrees, with just the volatile carbonyls, HCN, unit phenolics, etc. being highly selectively removed by means of activated carbon.

And then, various matching is carried out on polylactic acid and activated carbon, and a filtering experiment is carried out on smoke, and after a plurality of experiments, the fact that the activated carbon and the polylactic acid are mutually matched is found, so that the smoke temperature is effectively reduced, the smoke fragrance is ensured to be full, the polylactic acid fiber tows can be utilized to filter wood gas, the activated carbon is utilized to be matched with the polylactic acid fiber tows, and volatile carbonyl compounds, HCN, unit phenolic substances and the like which are poor in polylactic acid fiber tows filtration are effectively adsorbed.

Finally, the content of the L-lactic acid monomer in the preparation raw materials of the polylactic acid product is not less than 90%. Ensures the crystallinity of polylactic acid fiber and has high thermal stability of the size of the filament bundle; and the polylactic acid raw material can be added with the triacetin, and the tows are swelled and bonded under the action of the triacetin, so that the polylactic acid tows with good bonding and sheath-core structure can be obtained.

According to the cooling and flavoring method for smoking cigarettes, through the mode that the polylactic acid coats the flavoring particles, the heat-resistant cooling characteristic of the polylactic acid is effectively utilized, so that the temperature of smoke reaching the flavoring particles is reduced, the flavor loss or the flavor change of the flavoring particles is effectively prevented, the smoking taste is better, the volatilization of the flavoring particles can be reduced by the polylactic acid during storage, and the smoking flavor is plump; and the polylactic acid and the perfuming particles extracted from plants are pollution-free, so that the harm to a smoker is reduced.

The foregoing is merely exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. That is, equivalent changes and modifications are contemplated by the teachings of this disclosure, which fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
