Description
The innovation production method of expanded cabo of middle use the present invention relates to cut filler.It also relates to the production that cuts filler, and this cuts filler and comprises the expanded cabo that utilizes the method to make.
Traditionally, the product that cuts filler that smoking product is used is mainly partly formed by the stripped leaf of tobacco leaf, its during threshing process with the stalk of tobacco leaf part from.After stripped leaf had been removed and has separated, the stalk section of the tobacco-containing material that stays seldom used, so the major part of tobacco-containing material stalk section has just been wasted.
The amount that can be commercial use in order to increase tobacco-containing material stalk section, before proposed to process the offal of having removed, the offal that then will process and mix to form with stripped leaf and cut filler.Such as, the technology of known processing offal relates to wetting offal, then roll-in they to reduce thickness.
EP-A-0931464 has put down in writing the method for the preparation of the offal in cutting filler, and wherein offal is according to stepped diameter, so that a plurality of offal grades to be provided, and the roll-in respectively of each offal grade, to obtain uniform roll-in stalk thickness, such as 1.1mm.
Make cabo expansion to reduce their density, thereby the several different methods of raising offal combustion characteristics is also open before.In the prior art, the expansion of offal is usually by using steam or water-wet offal, and then heating causes, it is implemented in some cases under pressure.
Such process technology is attempted dissimilar tobacco, comprises such as Virginia tobacco, Turkish tobaccos or its combination.
In the situation of offal roll-in or expansion, the offal of processing can be easier to mix with tobacco leaf thus, and is incorporated in the cutting filler of cigarette.Yet the cabo expansion processing of steam or water is processed or is utilized in the roll-in of offal, does not usually affect the mouthfeel characteristic of offal.On the whole mouthfeel of the main flume that produces in the burning that cuts filler, offal can thereby have required effect.Particularly in the situation that use the offal of burley tobacco leaf.
Need to provide the more effective method of improvement to carry out expanded cabo, with the hybrid subdivision accepted as cutting filler in smoking product., if such method can significantly strengthen the filling value of offal, be to wish especially.If expanding method can be implemented with legacy equipment, thereby reduce the cost impact of implementing the method, this wishes especially.
According to the present invention, provide and made the method that is used for the expanded cabo that cuts filler, the method comprising the steps of:
It is 0.1 to the roll-in offal of 0.5mm that roll-in thickness is provided;
Moisture regain roll-in offal is to increase moisture content;
Offal after the cutting moisture regain;
Soak offal with liquid carbon dioxide;
Add offal after heat soaking to cause expansion; And
After heating, then the offal that gets damp again, to increase moisture content.
The method according to this invention can be carried out on the offal of any type, include, but not limited to the offal of burley tobaccos, Virginia cigarette, Turkish tobaccos or its combination.
Term " thickness " refers to the distance between the lower surface that contacts the upper surface of rolling equipment (as following more detailed explanation) and contacted rolling equipment.Thereby thickness is corresponding to the size of offal, and this size can reduce in the roll-in process, and this size is passed the moving direction of rolling equipment usually substantially perpendicular to offal.The roll-in thickness of single cabo particle can use traditional measurement mechanism to measure at microscopically.The roll-in thickness of single cabo particle is got along the point of cut direction, formation the maximum cross-section area.
Be surprised to find that, make offal stand the treatment step of the inventive method, all have significant, positive effect on the mouthfeel characteristic of offal and filling value.As roll-in with the result of liquid carbon dioxide expanded cabo be, offal has improved mouthfeel characteristic and pleasant impression, and develops more attracting mouthfeel and smell.The expansion of offal has reduced the density of offal material, and the combustion characteristics that cuts filler of sneaking into like this offal is optimized.The good effect of the inventive method is obvious especially for Burley Stem.
As the result of these good effects that produce on the offal by expanding method manufacturing of the present invention, offal can be used as the component accepted that cuts filler.During this expanded cabo can also join than possible before remarkable larger ratio and cut filler, thus the utilization that improves tobacco-containing material.The use of the method according to this invention has positive ambient influnence by the ratio of the tobacco-containing material that minimizing is wasted.
It is cost-effective replacing the use of stripped leaf at the middle offal that cuts filler, because the stalk of tobacco leaf can obtain by the cost lower than the stripped leaf of tobacco leaf usually.Offal can advantageously use the existing equipment that is used for the stripped leaf that expands to process.This makes the method according to this invention, effectively and under the mode of saving cost carrying out, not need extra equipment.In addition, cost that cause can reduce or eliminate with offal is discarded relevant.
After cabo expansion was completed, the offal of expansion can be combined with the tobacco-containing material of stripped leaf or other types.In this case, process on the different component that cuts filler can separate before these components are mixed processing line.Yet, of the present invention preferred embodiment in, the offal of roll-in before the moisture regain step with tobacco stripped leaf combination, all like this subsequent steps are all that tobacco stems and the stripped leaf of combination are processed.Under this mode, offal is convenient to use together identical procedure of processing and condition to process with the tobacco stripped leaf.The tobacco stripped leaf can include but not limited to from the tobacco leaf of any type, burley tobaccos, Virginia cigarette or Turkish tobaccos.Tobacco stripped leaf from one or more different tobacco leaves can make up with offal.One or more different tobacco leaves in stripped leaf source can with the tobacco leaf of offal from identical or different types.
In the following discussion of the inventive method, during the step of the method according to this invention, any reference of cabo expansion can be applied in the mixture of offal and tobacco stripped leaf comparably, and in certain embodiments, this tobacco stripped leaf was produced before the moisture regain step.
The roll-in offal preferably with expand after the combination of tobacco stripped leaf, be at least 2% with what produce offal weight, be more preferably at least 5% of offal weight, at least 10% of offal weight tobacco composition more preferably.Under these levels, including in of offal will produce on the mouthfeel that cuts filler of having mixed the swelled mixture compound neutral impact.Due to mouthfeel and the combustion characteristics of expanded cabo improvement, during the obvious more expanded cabo of vast scale can be included in and cut filler.
The moisture regain of offal is necessary, in order to increase the moisture content of tobacco-containing material.Moisture regain has guaranteed that offal is enough soft to cut, and damage or the destruction of offal do not occur.Before the moisture regain step, the common moisture content of offal is at about 10% to 11% baking oven fugitive constituent.During the moisture regain step, the moisture content of offal is increased to 12%o.v. at least, and is more preferably about 20%o.v..Corresponding moisture regain step also can be implemented the mixture of offal and tobacco stripped leaf.
The moisture content of offal is expressed as " % baking oven fugitive constituent " herein, its by measure due to material in baking oven under 103 ℃ oven dry the tobacco stalk quality percent loss that causes occurred to evaporate in 100 minutes determines.Make in this way, the moisture content of the offal of any stage of processing method all can be determined easily.
Similarly, then during the step that gets damp again, the moisture regain again of offal is also necessary, thereby after the heating of soaking offal, increases the moisture content of tobacco-containing material, and during heating, the major part of offal moisture can evaporate usually.After heating steps, then before the step that gets damp again, offal usually has moisture content and is about 3%o.v..During the step that gets damp again again, the moisture content of offal is increased to and is at least 10%o.v..The corresponding step that gets damp again again also can be implemented the mixture of offal and tobacco stripped leaf.
Moisture regain in the inventive method and the step that gets damp again again can use known technology and equipment to implement.Preferably, moisture regain and each of the step that gets damp again again comprise the mixture that makes tobacco contact steam, water or water and steam.Such as, in a kind of known moisture regain processing, tobacco contacts with the reverse flow of steam and water while rolling in the column cylinder of rotation.Offal can get damp again or get damp again alternatively in moist chamber.
After above-mentioned moisture regain step, the roll-in offal is cut into suitable cutting width in cutting step.This cutting width can the purposes required according to the expanding tobacco mixture be adjusted.Such as, less, thinner cutting width can preferably be intended to for cutting filler that smoking product uses, especially thin cigarette, but not certainly roll up or the tubulose tobacco product.Preferably, the offal of roll-in is cut into the cutting width between 0.3 to 1.3mm, more preferably between 0.65 to 0.9mm.Corresponding cutting step also can be implemented the mixture of offal and tobacco stripped leaf.
" cutting width " of offal refers to along the offal width of the offal on cut direction., when when microscopically is seen cabo particle, may observe substantially the direction of cabo particle by cutting equipment.This cutting width is corresponding to the spacing between the cabo particle both sides along this cut direction.The cutting width of single cabo particle can use traditional measurement mechanism accurately to measure at microscopically.The cutting width of single cabo particle is chosen at formation the maximum cross-section area place along cut direction.
Offal, in the situation that cut on both direction, is measured cutting width for the cutting width of the object of the invention corresponding to the maximum on both direction.
In case offal is cut, they are being up under the high pressure of 30bar, are placed in suitable soaking container and soak with liquid carbon dioxide.Preferably, this soaking container seals, and liquid carbon dioxide is transferred to this container, and air is emptying from this container before.Like this, carry out under vacuum according to the soaking step of the inventive method.Preferably, the temperature of liquid carbon dioxide is about negative 55 ℃ (55 ℃), and be transferred to soaking container under pressure in.Do like this, enter into the infiltration of the eucaryotic cell structure of offal to optimize liquid carbon dioxide, at this place, liquid carbon dioxide and intracellular moisture form hydrate.Corresponding soaking step also can be implemented the mixture of offal and tobacco stripped leaf.
After soaking step, remaining free liquid carbon dioxide is discharged from and reclaims.The soaking container step-down, and the liquid carbon dioxide in eucaryotic cell structure is converted into dry ice and freezing tobacco is born 79 ℃ (79 ℃) to its sublimation point.Offal after freezing is heated, so that the evaporation of the carbon dioxide in tobacco-containing material.The evaporation of carbon dioxide makes the inside cell of offal open, and causes the expansion of offal.Preferably, heating steps is undertaken by the offal contact hot gas logistics that makes freezing immersion, the preferably logistics of hot-air and steam, and preferably the temperature of this logistics is between 150 ℃ and 400 ℃.Corresponding expansion step also can be implemented the mixture of offal and tobacco stripped leaf.
During expansion step, offal preferably expands, and makes the filling value increase at least 50% of tobacco-containing material, and more preferably increases at least 100%." the filling value " of tobacco-containing material refers to the occupied spatial volume of material of given mass or weight.The filling value of tobacco-containing material is larger, and the weight of the material that filling standard size cigarette needs is lower.The processing of expanding has significantly increased the volume of offal piece, and has reduced the density of tobacco-containing material.The reduction of offal density is favourable especially, because during it makes offal be more suitable for and more can be accepted and be incorporated into and cut filler.
In method for optimizing more according to the present invention, before the method further was included in cutting and expansion step, the offal after roll-in, moisture regain applied reinforced agent.Should reinforced agent can utilize the means of any suitable to apply, comprise such as, spray.Should reinforced agent be preferably and comprise NMF, as glycerine, the aqueous solution.
The method according to this invention that has comprised above-mentioned steps can be implemented on the offal of pre-roll-in, the stalk sheet of this pre-roll-in in roll-in step before the off-line roll-in thick to required 0.1mm-0.5mm.Such as, roll-in is carried out in can or taking out the stalk machine in independent tobacco leaf processing factory, and the original material of above-mentioned like this treatment step is the offal of pre-roll-in.
Yet some embodiments of the present invention are suitable for the part of roll-in step as the production stage that cuts filler merged, and roll-in is the same with remaining treatment step like this carries out in identical factory or production equipment.The offal of roll-in can directly be introduced in the production line that cuts filler then.This method according to the present invention further comprises extra step: make regaining moisture of cabo, to increase moisture content; And the offal roll-in is arrived thickness between 0.1 to 0.5mm.Original material is that in offal and this offal situation about having separated from other parts of tobacco leaf, these extra steps can be carried out before above-mentioned moisture regain and expansion step.Yet method of the present invention can be further adapted in conjunction with beating the leaf step, and the original material for the treatment of step is untreated tobacco leaf like this.In this case, the method further comprises additional step: from tobacco leaf, remove offal; And offal is cut to average length between 10mm and 80mm, wherein these steps were implemented before the moisture regain of offal and roll-in, as mentioned above.
Offal utilizes traditional threshing process to process and removes from tobacco leaf.These offals in the threshing machine device or in independent step, are broken or are cut, and to reduce the length of offal part, thereby optimize roll-in processing.
The moisture regain of offal is necessary before roll-in, thereby increases moisture content, and offal is enough soft like this, with in the situation that do not occur damaged and destruction is cut.Before the moisture regain step, the common moisture content of offal is about 17% to 20% baking oven fugitive constituent (o.v.).The moisture regain step preferably increases moisture content to 35%o.v., perhaps still less, and more preferably 30%o.v., perhaps still less.In some cases, being low to moderate 25% is enough to prevent from rolling period, offal being damaged to the moisture content to 28%o.v..
The moisture regain of offal is preferably undertaken by the mixture that makes offal contact water, steam or water and steam.Preferably, offal soaks a period of time, thereby makes moisture penetration arrive the offal core.
After the moisture regain step, offal uses a traditional step or the roll-in processing of two steps to carry out roll-in, with the thickness with offal, reduces between 0.1mm and 0.5mm.The thickness of roll-in offal reduces to the level close to tobacco stripped leaf thickness.Preferably, offal is that 0.2mm is to 0.3mm by roll-in to thickness.Offal so roll-in are to the conventional thickness of the roll-in offal less than cutting.
By the offal roll-in is arrived thickness between 0.1mm and 0.5mm, the eucaryotic cell structure of offal is destroyed at least in part.Especially, the epidermal area of offal cell is pulverized at least in part.When seeing through the offal of microscopic examination roll-in, the cyto-architectural breaking-up of offal is high-visible.In addition, can clearly see, due to the different texture of the offal from before expansion, the offal of roll-in expands.Offal in the situation that the method according to this invention process, this thus can be high-visible from the expansion sign of roll-in thickness and offal.
As mentioned above, the offal of expansion is intended to the component that is used as cutting filler.According to the present invention, also provide and made the production method that cuts filler that comprises expanded cabo, the method comprises: use the method according to this invention expanded cabo, as mentioned above; And expanded cabo is mixed with tobacco stripped leaf, expanding tobacco or the reconstituted tobacco of at least a other type, cut filler with formation.The tobacco stripped leaf of other types can be, such as, spices tobacco stripped leaf, Virginia tobacco stripped leaf or its combination.Expand and reconstituted tobacco, in the situation of existence, can, by the tobacco type of any suitable, use known equipment and method to form.The mixing of expanded cabo and other types tobacco-containing material occurs usually after the step that gets damp again again, make that to mix be the final step in producing of cutting filler.
