Description

  • This application claims the priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2023114095190, titled "NEW TOBACCO PRODUCT HAVING NICOTINE PUFF-BY-PUFF RELEASE UNIFORMITY, AND PREPARATION METHOD FOR NICOTINE REGULATOR, THICK SLURRY AND THIN SHEET THEREOF", filed on October 27, 2023 with the China National Intellectual Property Administration, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
  • FIELD
  • The present disclosure relates to the technical field of cigarettes, in particular to the field of the preparation of a new tobacco and sheets thereof.
  • BACKGROUND
  • Tobacco sheets were adopted as a reprocessing technology in the 1960s to address the reuse of waste materials during tobacco processing. However, as people pay more and more attention to cigarette health, tobacco sheets begin to play an important role. Due to their more easily adjustable chemical composition and combustion properties compared to traditional tobacco leaves, tobacco sheets have been endowed with the function of reducing tar and harm, and they are used as a functional carrier or a main material to improve the combustion state of cigarettes and adjust the chemical composition of smoke. Now, with the rise of new tobacco products such as heated cigarettes, tobacco sheets have become the main smoking materials of heated cigarettes, and their functional role has been further expanded. The methods of preparing tobacco sheets mainly include thick paste method, roll pressing method, papermaking method and improved papermaking method (dry method). At present, 80% of the heated cigarettes use thick-paste-method sheets or roll-pressing-method sheets as smoking materials. When producing sheets by the above-mentioned two methods, cigarette powder and an adhesive must be mixed to make thick paste before they can be made into sheets. However, there are some quality problems such as insufficient smoke, dull aroma, poor nicotine puff-by-puff release uniformity in the sheets produced by the traditional thick-paste-method sheet process. The above-mentioned quality problems are particularly prominent when above-mentioned traditional processes are used to manufacture heated cigarettes.
  • Aiming at the problem of nicotine release, some solutions have been reported in the prior art. The China patent document with publication No. CN113115973A discloses a method for preparing reconstituted tobacco leaf sheet base for heating cigarettes, which comprises the following steps: preparing a reconstituted tobacco leaf pulp by papermaking method; adding a polyethylene oxide solution with a mass percentage of 0.01% to 0.15% and a guar gum solution with a mass percentage of 0.01% to 0.15% into the reconstituted tobacco leaf pulp firstly; then adding at least one of cactus juice and carambola juice into the reconstituted tobacco leaf pulp; and making the reconstituted tobacco leaf pulp into reconstituted tobacco leaf sheet base for heated cigarettes. The process discloses a papermaking-method sheet process, which can improve the loading and release of nicotine.
  • In summary, for the smoking mode of new tobacco products, there are few related technical reports on the controlled release of nicotine in tobacco tissues in the prior art.
  • SUMMARY

  • The present disclosure is further illustrated below in conjunction with examples.
  • Example 1 Step 1: Preparation of nicotine regulator A.
  • 0.5 kg of proline and 0.5 kg of caffeic acid were weighed in sequence, and 5.0 kg of water was added, fully stirred and dissoloution was achieved for later use.
  • Step 2: Preparation of PEG
  • 0.2 kg of PEG-400, 0.2 kg of PEG-2000 and 0.2 kg of PEG-6000 were weighed, 5.0 kg of water was added, and 0.02 kg of tannic acid was added at the same time, heated to 80±5°C in a special dissolving tank with heat preservation, and full dissolution was achieved for later use.
  • Step 3: Preparation of adhesive (binder)
  • 1.5 kg of sucrose fiber was placed in a hydraulic shredder, 30.0 kg of water was added, and the speed of the shredder was 2000 r/min, continuous stirring was performed for 60 min, then 0.2 kg of plant gum (carob gum) and 0.1 kg of carrageenan were added, and continuous stirring was performed for 30 min. A low-concentration adhesive was used to bring the fiber to the hydraulic shredder, where a gear-equipped stirring rod created a robust vortex to thoroughly defibrate the fiberboard by brush. After that, 0.2 kg of plant gum (carob gum), 0.1 kg of CMC, 0.5 kg of nicotine regulator A prepared in the step 1, PEG solution prepared in the step 2 and flavor improver (adjusted according to taste needs, this example took mint essence as an example) were added, continuously stirred for 30 min, and then transferred to a storage tank for later use.
  • Step 4: Preparation of cigarette powder composite
  • Tobacco leaves, tobacco stems and tea leaves with a weight ratio of 6:3:1 were dry ground into 300 mesh cigarette powder for later use (cigarette powder).
  • Step 5: Treatment of thick paste
  • Materials prepared in the step 3 and step 4 were conveyed to a mixer at a weight ratio of 5:1, and 0.6 kg of phosphoric acid (nicotine regulator B) was added, the blender was started and the rotation speed was controlled at 100 r/min, the temperature of the thick paste was adjusted to (60±5)°C, and the stirring and heat preservation was carried out for 4 h for mixing.
  • Step 6: Preparation of sheets
  • After the heat preservation time in the step 5 reached the process requirements, the thick paste was distributed, dried and peeled to form a sheet. In which, the process drying was performed in a two-stage mode, and the highest temperature did not exceed 90°C. The pouring thickness of the thick paste was controlled to about 600 mm.
  • The physical indicators were detected on the finished sheet prepared by the above-mentioned method, the results show that the thickness of the sheet was 0.17 mm and the water content of the sheet was 11.8%.
  • Referring to the traditional Canadian deep smoking mode of cigarette HCI, the number of smoking puffs (n) was set according to the heating time of the appliance, and the heating appliance was designed to operate at a temperature of 220°C+5°C, and 10 cigarettes were prepared for each heated cigarette sample. The n-puffs smoking of each cigarette were accumulated and trapped on different filters, that is, the aerosol with the same number of smoking puffs (10 puffs in total) was trapped on each filter, and the standard deviation, relative standard deviation and range of the data were calculated, and the results are seen in Table 1.
  • Comparative example 1
  • Compared with Example 1, the difference is only that the step 1 was missing, and
    accordingly, component A of the nicotine regulator was not added in the step 3, and component B (phosphoric acid) of the nicotine regulator was not added in the step 5.
