Description

  The present invention relates to incense. More specifically, the present invention relates to an incense obtained by impregnating a fragrance and a combustion aid into a carrier having a core-sheath structure including a braided sheath portion and a core portion surrounded by the sheath portion.

  In recent years, various indoor fragrances have been used in addition to incense used for Buddhist affairs for the purpose of enjoying fragrance indoors and relieving feelings.

  There are many types of incense, such as sticks (sticks), cones (triangular pyramids), spiral incense and incense, powdered incense and incense, and even on the body. However, since the above-mentioned incense used for a long time uses vegetation powder and other natural base materials as the main component, the tar content derived from the wooden base material is carried along with the smoke and adheres to the wall. There is a problem that it has a peculiar pungent odor. In order to deal with such a problem, the present applicant has used an incense stick using charcoal powder as a base material (Patent Document 1), or an incense stick in which a part of the base material is replaced with carbon powder (charcoal powder) (patent Documents 2-5) and incense using activated alumina as a substrate (Patent Document 6) are provided.

  On the other hand, conventional incense is difficult to ignite, the problem that there are many woody and Chinese herbal odors, the fragrance is not refined, the problem that it is not suitable for storage because it is easy to bend or break, etc. There were also many aspects that did not match the daily life. Therefore, nowadays, indoor fragrances are widely used, and there are all kinds of fragrances such as solid, gel, spray, and those using aroma. However, indoor fragrances were not sufficient to satisfy consumers with slow diffusion, partial diffusion, high price, and unsatisfactory fragrance.

  In addition, the present inventor made paper-like incense (Patent Document 7) in which a clathrate compound in which a molecule of an aromatic component is confined is supported on a paper tissue composed of vegetable fiber and inorganic powder, plant twisted yarn, plant property An incense containing a blended fragrance in a string has been proposed (Patent Document 8). However, just by adding fragrance to the surface of paper, twisted yarn, and string, it is not possible to impregnate a sufficient amount of fragrance uniformly throughout. It was not possible to achieve both effects.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an incense that has a stable smoke smoking effect and a scent diffusion effect while solving the problem of tar content.

  As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, a braid is obtained by impregnating an incense component into a carrier having a core-sheath structure including a sheath portion made of a braid and a core portion surrounded by the sheath portion. The sheath part of the incense component compounded liquid is formed, and a sufficient amount of the incense ingredient compounded liquid can be impregnated to the center of the core part surrounded by the sheath part, and after drying It has been found that the incense component can be retained in the core-sheath structure.

  The incense of the present invention is different from paper made by twisting paper as disclosed in Patent Document 7, and strings such as twisted yarn, fabric / woven tape disclosed in Patent Document 8, In order to impregnate the incense component mixture into a core-sheath structure carrier including a sheath part and a core part surrounded by the sheath part, not only the braid as a sheath part but also the inside of the core part A sufficient amount of the incense component is uniformly impregnated so that the smoke can be maintained in a stable state. Moreover, generation | occurrence | production of a tar part can be reduced and the quick spreading | diffusion of the fragrance by smoke can be maintained. Furthermore, unlike the incense disclosed in Patent Documents 7 and 8, the fire does not extinguish because it contains a combustion aid. If a carrier made of natural materials is used, no toxic gas that destroys the ozone layer is generated even if smoked, it is environmentally friendly, fragrance is soft, and eyes and nose are not stimulated.

  The production method of the present invention is a simple method in which a carrier having a core-sheath structure including a sheath part made of braid and a core part surrounded by the sheath part is dipped in an incense component mixture and dried. There is no need to use a powder base material, and various functions such as combustion, fragrance, and color can be easily and freely imparted by post-processing without requiring skilled techniques and special equipment.

  Furthermore, the incense of the present invention is easily ignited because the carrier material is cotton, hemp, silk, wool, etc., and it is hard to break and easy to carry. In addition, since it contains an auxiliary combustor uniformly, it can be smoked continuously and the length of the incense can be adjusted according to the size of the room and the intensity of the desired odor. It is also advantageous in that the scene expands.

FIG. 5 is a photograph showing a comparison of liquid impregnation states of braid (a), twisted paper (b), hemp twisted yarn (c), and octopus yarn (d).

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

  The incense of the present invention is characterized in that it is used as a carrier having a specific structure, unlike conventional incense based on plant powder (such as bark powder) or charcoal powder.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, a carrier having a core-sheath structure including a sheath portion made of braid and a core portion surrounded by the sheath portion, a fragrance, and a 0.5 to 5.0% by weight auxiliary combustor The incense is characterized in that a fragrance and a combustion aid are contained in the core inside the sheath of the carrier.

  The core-sheath structure carrier that can be used in the present invention includes a sheath part made of braid and a core part surrounded by the sheath part. The core portion and the sheath portion are manufactured from one or more selected from the group consisting of cotton yarn, hemp yarn, silk yarn, and wool, and the core portion and the sheath portion may be the same or different. The raw material of the thread that constitutes the core and sheath is one or more of wood pulp, waste paper, cocoon, mitsumata, cannabis, flax, jute, ramie, manila hemp, cotton, bamboo, kenaf, etc. Can be used in combination. Cotton yarn is generally a cotton spun from cotton seeds. The hemp yarn is a yarn in which one or more raw materials such as cannabis, flax, manila hemp, hemp, jute, etc. are combined, soaked in hot water, beaten, loosened into a fibrous form, and the fiber is twisted.

  As the braid constituting the sheath, a commercially available braid can be used, or a braid formed by an arbitrary method in which the yarn can be manufactured by a normal method using a known braiding machine. The core can be formed by twisting the yarn in an arbitrary number, or simply collectively. The number of yarns constituting the core part is not particularly limited, but may be constituted by one or a plurality of yarns, preferably 3 or more, and more preferably 5 yarns.

  The carrier used in the present invention, for example, can assemble a braid into a sheath by assembling a plurality of yarns around a core by a string making machine around the core composed of a plurality of threads, Usually, 3 or more, preferably 8 or more, more preferably 16 yarns can be produced by a method of assembling by round punching, square punching, or flat punching. The diameter of the cross section of the yarn constituting the core portion and the sheath portion may be the same or different for each yarn, for example, 0.7 mm or less, preferably 0.05 mm to 0.5 mm, more preferably 0.8 mm. It can be 1 mm to 0.5 mm. FIG. 1 illustrates the structure of a carrier used in the present invention. The carrier shown in FIG. 1 is arranged in a state where a plurality of yarns constituting the core portion are concentrated in the center portion of the carrier, and the periphery of the core portion is covered with a sheath portion made of braid. Since the sheath part made of braid has a flexible structure having elasticity, the fiber density of the sheath part is lower than that of the core part, and as a result, the incense component easily passes through the sheath part with low fiber density and It can penetrate to the inside, and the incense component can be sufficiently adsorbed to the core. A twisted paper made by twisting paper, a twisted yarn made by twisting yarns, and a woven cord woven at a right-angle intersection of warp and weft have a structure with a higher overall fiber density and lower elasticity than braid For this reason, when used as a sheath portion, the component cannot be impregnated into the core yarn. In addition, when there is no core part in the string, that is, when the inside of the sheath part is hollow, the incense component cannot be sufficiently adsorbed to the core part. The effect cannot be demonstrated.

  The shape of the cross section of the incense is not particularly limited and is generally circular, but may be other shapes such as a square or a star. The cross-sectional shape can be changed depending on the arrangement of the yarns constituting the core of the carrier. The thickness and length of the incense is not particularly limited. The diameter of the cross section of the carrier only needs to be as large as easy to ignite, and can be, for example, 2.0 mm or less, preferably 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm, more preferably 1.3 mm to 1.8 mm. . The length of the incense can be appropriately adjusted according to the smoke time at the time of single use and the number of uses. For example, the length of the incense is 1.0 cm to 5.0 m, preferably 0.1 m to 2.0 m. Preferably, it can be set to 0.5 m to 1.5 m. The incense can be adjusted for smoke time by adjusting the length. For example, when a carrier having a diameter of 1.6 mm is used, the smoke time of an incense of 5.0 cm is about 4 hours. Minutes.

  The amount of the carrier is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 70 to 95% by weight, preferably 80 to 90% by weight, and more preferably 80 to 85% by weight with respect to the total amount of the incense. By setting it as this range, a fragrance | flavor component can fully be impregnated, sufficient fuel speed | velocity can be achieved in order to fully spread | diffuse a fragrance | flavor, and the stable soot lasting effect can be acquired.

  The incense is impregnated with a fragrance and a combustion aid. In addition, other components may be impregnated with inorganic compounds, binders, colorants, etc. In addition to the fragrance effect, deodorizing / sterilizing effect, anthelmintic effect, etc., further functionality Ingredients can also be impregnated. For incense, for example, prepare a mixed solution in which a fragrance, a combustion aid, and other components are dissolved or suspended in one or more solvents selected from an organic solvent and water, and a carrier is immersed in the mixed solution. Can be produced by impregnating various components.

  Although the kind of fragrance | flavor is not specifically limited, Fragrance | flavors, such as a Chinese medicine extract, a liquid fragrance | flavor, an essential oil, can be contained 1 type or in combination of 2 or more types. The ingredients of the herbal extract include wood incense, sweet pine incense, sandalwood, scent incense, incense incense, cold ling incense, benzoin incense, milk incense, cinnamon, clove, fennel, pills, dragon brain, incense incense, incense in Karaki, agar incense, An extract obtained by extracting a known product such as mandala can be used. As liquid fragrance | flavors, there exist a natural fragrance | flavor and a synthetic fragrance | flavor, These should just use a commercially available thing. Moreover, you may use the essential oil extracted from a plant etc. Examples of the essential oil include anise seed, almond bitter, amiris, angelica root, winter green, elemi, allspice berry, orange, onion, orange mandarin, orange sweet, cajeput, carama root, camphor white, cardamom seed, camomile German, Camo Mile Roman, Camo Mile Wild, Galvanam, Garlic, Carrot Seed, Clove Bads, Coriander Seed, Cumin Seed, Basil Sweet, Benzoin Absolute, Bergamot, Birch Sweet, Cypress, Sandalwood, Cinnamon Bark, Cedar Leaf, Cedar Atlas, Cedarwood Red , Celery seed, cinnamon bark, cinnamon leaf, citronella Aminto, Spruce, Sage Clary, Sage Dalmatian, Savory Summer, Vanilla, Bourbon, Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus Lemon, Fennel Bitter, Fennel Sweet, Fur Needle, Frankincense, Gela Nium, Ginger, Grapefruit, Time Red, Time White, Truval Sam , Helichrysum, hopflower, hyssop, jasmine absolute, juniper berry, lime, lavadin, lavender, lavender flower, lavender spike, lemon, lemongrass, laurel leaf, lobeji root, marjoram sweet, marjoram wild, myrtle, mirror gum, melissa, neroli, Nutmeg, palmarosa, patchouli, pepper black, peppermint, peruvian balsam, pete Grain, pine, Rose Absolute, Rose Otto, rosemary, rosewood, marigold, tangerine, such as Tea Tree, and the like. The impregnation amount (perfume rate) of the fragrance component is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 1 to 30% by weight, preferably 2 to 20% by weight, more preferably 5 to 15% by weight with respect to the total amount of the fragrance. can do. When the fragrance is used after being suspended or dissolved in the blended solution, the concentration is, for example, 2 to 30% by weight, preferably 3 to 25% by weight, more preferably 5 to 20% by weight based on the total amount of the blended solution. % Concentration can be adjusted. When using 2 or more types of compounding liquid, content when each compounding liquid shall be 100 weight% is shown. By setting it as this range, a fragrance | flavor component does not ooze out from an incense and the design of an incense is not impaired.

  Examples of the auxiliary combustion agent include nitrates such as sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and lithium nitrate, and perchlorates such as ammonium perchlorate, potassium perchlorate, sodium perchlorate, and magnesium perchlorate. Considering that there is little fragrance, relatively high safety, water solubility, etc., it is preferable to use nitrate, and more preferably potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate. The amount of the auxiliary combustor may be appropriately set according to the desired burning rate, but is 0.5 to 5.0% by weight, preferably 1.0 to 4.5% by weight, based on the total amount of the incense. More preferably, it can be 2.0 to 4.0 weight%. In order to uniformly disperse the auxiliary combustor in the carrier, it is usually preferable to use one dissolved in a liquid. However, the auxiliary combustor may be added to the incense component compounding liquid as a powder. When the auxiliary combustion agent is suspended or dissolved in the mixed solution, the amount of the auxiliary combustion agent in the mixed solution may be set as appropriate. For example, the amount of the auxiliary combustion agent is 0.2 to 6.0% by weight with respect to the total amount of the mixed solution. Preferably 1.0 to 5.0% by weight, more preferably 2.0 to 3.0% by weight. In order to optimize the soot speed and soot state, the content of the auxiliary combustor in the blended liquid should be about 2-3% by weight, and the content in the incense should be about 2-4% by weight. Is particularly preferred. If the content of the auxiliary agent in the incense is too high, sparks may be repelled like a sparkler.

  As the inorganic compound that the incense can contain, one or more inorganic compounds selected from the group consisting of titanium oxide, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and talc can be used. These inorganic compounds are used to moderate combustion and adjust the burning rate, to give white incense to facilitate dyeing, and to make ash white. Since the ash of the carrier is easily colored, titanium oxide is preferably used to make the ash white. The amount of these inorganic compounds can be appropriately changed according to desired properties, but is usually 0.2 to 5.0% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 2.% by weight based on the total amount of incense. It can be 0% by weight, and is usually 0.5 to 10% by weight, preferably 0.7 to 3.0% by weight, based on the total amount of the blended liquid. By setting these ranges, it is possible to avoid unstable combustion conditions such as combustion becoming too fast or combustion being suppressed too much and disappearing, and the ash is solidified and falls together to fall around It can also prevent contamination.

  Examples of the binder include cellulose derivatives such as carboxymethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose calcium, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxyethylmethylcellulose, and hydroxypropylcellulose; starch derivatives such as sodium starch glycolate and sodium starch phosphate; It may contain one or more binders selected from the group consisting of alginic acid derivatives such as sodium alginate and propylene glycol alginate; and organic binders such as polyvinyl alcohol, guar gum, and derivatives thereof. . The amount of the binder is not particularly limited, but is usually 1 to 3% by weight, preferably 2 to 3% by weight based on the total amount of the incense, and is usually based on the total amount of the blended liquid. 0.5 to 10% by weight, preferably 1 to 7% by weight. By setting it as these ranges, generation | occurrence | production of the smell of a binder when an incense is burned can be prevented.

  In order to impart a color other than natural color to the incense, a colorant may be added. It is preferable to use the colorant in an amount that does not affect the combustion or fragrance. Examples of the colorant include edible pigments (for example, edible red No. 2, edible red No. 3, edible red No. 40, edible red No. 102, edible red No. 104, edible red No. 105, edible red No. 106, and edible green 3). No., Edible Yellow No. 4, Edible Yellow No. 5, Edible Blue No. 1, Edible Blue No. 2), inorganic pigments (iron oxide, titanium oxide), natural pigments (for example, β-carotene, riboflavin, riboflavin butyrate, riboflavin) 5'-phosphate ester sodium), natural pigment derivatives (copper chlorophyll, copper chlorophyllin sodium, iron chlorophyllin sodium, norbixin potassium, norbixin sodium), malachite green, crystal violet, uranin, cedarwood and the like. The amount of the colorant can be generally 0.05 to 2% by weight, preferably 0.2 to 0.5% by weight, based on the total amount of the incense, and is usually based on the total amount of the blended liquid. It can be 1 to 10% by weight, preferably 2 to 5% by weight.

  The incense can contain one or more deodorant / sterilizing components in combination. Examples of these components include catechins such as catechin, epicatechin and epigallocatechin, and plant extracts such as quercetin, anthocyanidins, isoflavones and sunflavones. The amount of the deodorant / bactericidal component can be usually 1 to 5% by weight, preferably 2 to 3% by weight, based on the total amount of incense, and is usually 5 to 5% based on the total amount of the blended liquid. It can be 15% by weight, preferably 7 to 10% by weight.

  The incense can contain one or more anthelmintic components in combination. These ingredients include insecticide chrysanthemum extract, natural pyrethrin, praretrin, imiprotorin, phthalthrin, allethrin, transfluthrin, resmethrin, phenothrin, ciphenothrin, permethrin, cypermethrin, etofenprox, cyfluthrin, deltamethrin, bifenthrin, fenvalerate, fenproperpa Pyrethroid compounds such as Surin, Empensulin, Silafluophene, Metofluthrin, Profluthrin; Organophosphorus compounds such as fenitrothion, diazinon, marathon, pyridafenthion, prothiophos, oxime, chlorpyrifos, dichlorvos; Carbamate compounds such as carbaryl, propoxur, mesomil, thiodicarb Oxadiazole compounds such as methoxadiazone; fiproni Phenylpyrazole compounds such as amidoflumet; Sulfonamide compounds such as amidoflumet; Neonicotinoid compounds such as dinotefuran and imidacloprid; Insect growth control compounds such as metoprene, hydroprene and pyriproxyfen; Pyrrole compounds such as chlorfenapyr; Benzyl alcohol Insecticidal essential oils such as peppermint oil; diet, di-n-butylsuccinate, hydroxyanisole, ethyl-butylacetylaminopropionate, p-menthane-3,8-diol, citronella oil, eucalyptus oil, lemon eucalyptus And repellents such as oil, geranium oil, moon peach oil, and mosquito reeds. The amount of these components can be generally 0.5 to 5.0% by weight, preferably 1 to 3% by weight, based on the total amount of incense, and is usually 5% based on the total amount of the mixture. -15% by weight, preferably 7-10% by weight.

  In addition, since these components are impregnated in the carrier, they can be used by dissolving or suspending them in an organic solvent or water, and if necessary, emulsifiers, preservatives and the like may be further used. Examples of the organic solvent include alcohol solvents such as ethanol. The amount of the solvent in the blended solution is usually 50 to 80% by weight, preferably 60 to 70% by weight, based on the total amount of the blended solution. Examples of the emulsifier include starch, gum arabic, and cyclodextrin. The amount of the emulsifier in the blended solution is usually 2 to 15% by weight, preferably 3 to 10% by weight, based on the total amount of the blended solution. Examples of the preservative include benzoic acid and its salt, sorbic acid and its salt, dehydroacetic acid and its salt, paraoxybenzoic acid ester and the like. The amount of the preservative in the blended solution is usually 0.05 to 3% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 2.0% by weight, based on the total amount of the blended solution.

  When incense is burned, the length can be adjusted according to the size of the room and the usage time. If you want to erase the incense, fold it with an appropriate length or use a clip or other fastener in advance. You can adjust by putting the part you want to erase. For example, the incense product is provided with an incense, a reel unit for winding and holding the incense, and a fastener for determining the burning part of the incense, and the incense product is unwinding type. It is mentioned as one aspect. The incense can be wound around an instrument having a reel portion, and a product stored in a compact manner can be obtained. By adjusting the length of the incense drawn from the reel part, it becomes possible to adjust the transpiration time of the incense smoke. On the other hand, incense in which a carrier is impregnated with a fragrance component can be directly burned and burned to diffuse the scent by smoke, but the fragrance component also evaporates even when not ignited. I can enjoy it.

  Since the incense of the present invention has a string shape, it can be cut into an appropriate length and used like an incense stick, wound on a reel or the like and pulled out to an appropriate length, or arranged in a spiral shape. Can be used in a desired shape.

  The incense is (A1): a step of preparing a blending solution containing an appropriate amount of a fragrance and 0.2 to 6.0% by weight of an auxiliary combustor; and (A2): a sheath part composed of braids in the blending solution; A core-sheath structure carrier including a core part surrounded by the sheath part is immersed, and the carrier is impregnated with a fragrance and a combustible agent, followed by drying. .

And (B3): a step of immersing the carrier impregnated with a fragrance in the second blending solution, impregnating the carrier with a combustion aid, and drying. Or (C1): The process of preparing the 1st compounding liquid containing a suitable quantity of fragrance | flavor, and the 2nd compounding liquid containing 0.2 to 6.0 weight% of auxiliary agents; (C2): Said A step of immersing a carrier having a core-sheath structure including a sheath part made of braid and a core part surrounded by the sheath part in the second compounded liquid, impregnating the carrier with the auxiliary combustion agent, and drying. And (C3): a step of immersing the carrier impregnated with the auxiliary combustion agent in the first compounded liquid, impregnating the carrier with a fragrance, and drying. The incense produced by these methods is impregnated with a fragrance and a combustible agent in the core part inside the sheath part of the carrier.

  Prepare the above-mentioned fragrance, auxiliary agent, and one kind of liquid mixture containing other raw materials as necessary, or prepare two or more kinds of liquid mixture separately containing one or more of the above raw materials The incense can be produced by immersing the carrier in each compounding solution, impregnating the carrier with the raw material contained in the compounding solution, and drying. Here, when there are a plurality of blended liquids to be prepared, the impregnation and drying steps are repeated, but the order is not limited. In the blending solution, one or more solvents selected from an organic solvent and water, and an emulsifier, a preservative, and the like are used as necessary. Although the preparation process of a compounding liquid is not specifically limited, It carries out by adding each raw material to a solvent and stirring uniformly normally using a homogenizer etc. for 5 to 30 minutes, Preferably it is 10 to 20 minutes. . The time for impregnating the carrier with the compounded liquid is not particularly limited, but when carried out by dipping, it is usually carried out for 0.5 to 2 minutes, preferably 1 to 1.5 minutes. The drying process is also not particularly limited, and is usually performed at 70 to 80 ° C. for 1 to 2 minutes, preferably at 50 to 60 ° C. for 3 to 4 minutes, impregnated with the blended solution, and then applying tension as necessary. When dried, incense with less warping can be produced.

  In the case of using one kind of liquid mixture, for example, a fragrance, a supplementary agent, other raw materials, and if necessary, an emulsifier is suspended or dissolved in a solvent (for example, water) and stirred with a homogenizer as necessary. To prepare a blended solution. Next, the carrier is manufactured by immersing the carrier in the blending solution, impregnating the carrier with the components contained in the blending solution, and drying. The method using one kind of blended liquid is advantageous in that the number of steps is small because the impregnation and drying steps can be performed in one line. Further, in the step of immersing and drying the carrier in the mixed solution, it is advantageous in that the steps that require equipment and technology such as the work of extending the carrier impregnated with the mixed solution are minimized.

  In the case of using two kinds of combination liquids, for example, a first mixture liquid is prepared by suspending or dissolving a fragrance and other raw materials (for example, a binder) in a solvent (for example, ethanol). The second compound is prepared by suspending or dissolving an auxiliary combustor and other raw materials (for example, an inorganic compound, a binder, a colorant, a preservative, etc.) and, if necessary, an emulsifier in a solvent (for example, water). Prepare the solution. Next, the carrier is immersed in the second compounding liquid containing the auxiliary combustion agent, the carrier is impregnated with the components contained in the compounding liquid, and dried. Furthermore, the carrier is manufactured by immersing the carrier in the first compounded liquid containing the fragrance, impregnating the carrier with the components contained in the compounded liquid, and drying. In the method using two or more kinds of mixed liquids, each material can be easily dissolved in a solvent, so that the material can be easily impregnated into the carrier, and the immersion time and the drying time can be adjusted depending on the properties of the material. Is advantageous.

The incense of the present invention produced by the above method except that the colorant was Edible Red No. 104 ((A) in FIG. 4), and the incense produced by the above method except that the carrier was changed to octopus yarn (Control 1) : (B) of FIG. 4) The smoke state of the incense produced by the above method (control 2: (C) of FIG. 4) was compared except that the carrier was changed to paper and colored green.

  The incense of the present invention cut into 5 cm and two kinds of controls were placed on an incombustible mat (photograph (1) in FIG. 4), and fired from one end. In both cases, ignition was easy. The incense of the present invention continued to burn for about 4 minutes without disappearing on the way, and the ash that maintained the shape of the incense remained without dropping the ash on the way (photographs (2) to (2) in FIG. 5)). The surface shape of the incense ash of the present invention is as smooth as the ash remaining after smoked incense using a conventional powder carrier, and the incense of the present invention can be used as a substitute for the conventional incense It turns out that. It was also found that the incense ash according to the present invention is gathered without collapsing, and is superior to conventional incense in that it can be prevented from falling and soiling the surroundings. On the other hand, the incense of the octopus yarn of Control 1 has an uneven surface where the shape of the twisted yarn is more conspicuous although the ash that persisted in combustion remains, and is used as a substitute for the conventional incense stick This proved difficult (photos (2) to (5) in FIG. 4). Moreover, it turned out that the surface of the ash of the control 1 is easy to collapse, and the ash may fall and stain the surroundings (photo (5) in FIG. 4). Furthermore, the burning rate of the incense of the paper from Control No. 2 was very fast, the ash shrunk small, and no ash that maintained the shape of the incense remained (photographs (2) to (5) in FIG. 4). The incense of the present invention is provided with a sheath part formed of a stretchable braid, so that a flow path of air to the inside of the incense is formed, and an appropriate amount of a combustible agent is provided to the center part of the core part. By impregnating, when the incense is burned, an air flow is formed in the incense carrier, and it is assumed that the smoke has been stably maintained. Furthermore, compared to twisted yarn, the surface of the sheath part made of braid has less unevenness and is elastic, so the remaining ash surface is smooth like a conventional incense stick, and the shape of the ash is less likely to collapse I guess.

  When the incense of the present invention was smoked, the scent spread in a short time (2 to 3 minutes) due to the effect of smoke, and a sufficient amount of scent could be confirmed throughout the room. Since the absorptivity of the carrier is extremely high, various developments can be made in accordance with the type of fragrance and the characteristics of the product by adjusting the fragrance intensity by increasing or decreasing the content of the fragrance. The incense of the present invention does not emit a raw material odor like an incense using a conventional powder carrier, and since there is little tar content, problems such as fouling walls do not occur.

Example 2: Comparison of adsorption amounts on various carriers [Preparation of incense]
The carrier used in Example 1 and, as a control, the octopus yarn and the twisted paper used in Example 1, and hemp twisted yarn were prepared, immersed in an ethanol solution containing 5% colorant for 30 seconds, and then taken out. .

[result]
Measure the weight before and after immersing in the mixture of carrier, octopus yarn (Control 3), twisted paper (Control 4), and hemp twisted yarn (Control 5) used in Example 1, and alcohol relative to the weight of various samples The results of calculation using the weight of as the adsorption rate are shown in Table 2 below. As shown in Table 2, while the adsorption rate of alcohol to the samples of Controls 3 to 5, which are all twisted yarns, is 40 to 80%, the adsorption rate of alcohol to the carrier used in Example 1 Was as high as 140%. Moreover, it turned out that the adsorption rate of alcohol becomes high in order of paper, hemp, and cotton by the comparison of the controls 3-5.

  In addition to the alcohol adsorption rate, various samples impregnated with the colorant-blended alcohol solution were cut, and it was visually confirmed whether the colorant was impregnated to the inside. As shown in FIG. 5, the colorant adsorbs only on the surface of the twisted paper (b), hemp yarn (c), and octopus yarn (d), whereas the carrier (a) used in Example 1 It was found that the colorant uniformly penetrated into the core part.

  From the above results, the incense produced using a carrier having a core-sheath structure including a sheath part made of braid and a core part surrounded by the sheath part is a sufficient amount of a mixed solution It has been found that the components can be impregnated. From the results of this adsorption test, it can be understood that the incense of the present invention increases the adsorbed amount of the fragrance and the auxiliary combustor compared to twisted yarn and paper. Moreover, it can be understood that this increase in the amount of adsorption contributes to the stable soot sustaining effect of the incense of the present invention and the high scent diffusion effect.

Example 3: Evaluation of content of auxiliary combustor (potassium nitrate) [Sample preparation]
Potassium nitrate was dissolved in water to prepare about 0.5 wt% and about 5.0 wt% potassium nitrate blends. The carrier (2 m) used in Example 1 was prepared as a carrier, and each of the five carriers was immersed in the prepared compounded liquid for 1 minute. Then, it was taken out and dried at room temperature for 3 days to produce a total of 10 braid samples containing a combustion aid.

[result]
The content of potassium nitrate contained in the braided sample produced using the 0.5 wt% potassium nitrate blending solution was 2.5 to 3.4 wt%, and the average was 3.31 wt%. Moreover, the potassium nitrate content contained in the braided sample manufactured using the 5.0 wt% potassium nitrate blending solution was 3.3 to 3.4 wt%, and averaged 3.38 wt%. Although a slight variation was found in the potassium nitrate content in each sample when using a 0.5 wt% potassium nitrate mixture, the average content of the 0.5 wt% and 5.0 wt% samples is comparable. It was confirmed.

  From the above results, the amount of the auxiliary combustor contained in the braid sample is not greatly affected by the content of the auxiliary combustor in the mixed solution, but when the content of the auxiliary combustor in the mixed solution is small, the auxiliary combustor is used as the carrier. It was found that the soot was not uniformly impregnated and the smoke smoke was uneven. As a result, it was also confirmed that the incense was smoked while repeating the state just before it disappeared, and it was difficult to smoke on average. On the other hand, if the content of the auxiliary combustor in the blended solution is too large, the auxiliary combustor is not uniformly impregnated into the carrier as in the case where the content is low, and like a sparkler at a place where the concentration of the auxiliary combustor is high It has also been found that sparks can be easily repelled.

  From these results, it was found that it is particularly preferable that the content of the auxiliary combustor in the blended liquid is about 2 to 3% by weight in order to optimize the smoke speed and the smoke state.

  The incense of the present invention contains a flame retardant, which makes it possible to sustain smoke for a long time, and it is easy to handle due to the string shape that is hard to break and easy to carry, so it matches the size of the room and the intensity of the desired odor. The use of the incense is wider than conventional incense and indoor fragrance.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a carrier having a core-sheath structure including a sheath portion made of braid and a core portion surrounded by the sheath portion, a fragrance, and a 0.5 to 5.0% by weight auxiliary combustor the result by immersion containing the include perfumes and combustion improver to the core portion of the interior of the sheath portion of the carrier, it is incense, characterized in that.

The carrier used in the present invention, for example, can assemble a braid into a sheath by assembling a plurality of yarns around a core by a string making machine around the core composed of a plurality of threads, Usually, 3 or more, preferably 8 or more, more preferably 16 yarns can be produced by a method of assembling by round punching, square punching, or flat punching. The diameter of the cross section of the yarn constituting the core portion and the sheath portion may be the same or different for each yarn, for example, 0.7 mm or less, preferably 0.05 mm to 0.5 mm, more preferably 0.8 mm. It can be 1 mm to 0.5 mm. FIG. 1 illustrates the structure of a carrier used in the present invention. The carrier shown in FIG. 1 is arranged in a state where a plurality of yarns constituting the core portion are concentrated in the center portion of the carrier, and the periphery of the core portion is covered with a sheath portion made of braid. Since the sheath part made of braid has a flexible structure having elasticity, the fiber density of the sheath part is lower than that of the core part, and as a result, the incense component easily passes through the sheath part with low fiber density and It can penetrate to the inside, and the incense component can be sufficiently adsorbed to the core. A twisted paper made by twisting paper, a twisted yarn made by twisting yarns, and a woven cord woven at a right-angle intersection of warp and weft have a structure with a higher overall fiber density and lower elasticity than braid Therefore, it is not possible to free immersion of the components to the inside of the yarn core when used as the sheath. In addition, when there is no core part in the string, that is, when the inside of the sheath part is hollow, the incense component cannot be sufficiently adsorbed to the core part. The effect cannot be demonstrated.

The amount of the carrier is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 70 to 95% by weight, preferably 80 to 90% by weight, and more preferably 80 to 85% by weight with respect to the total amount of the incense. Within this range, it is possible to sufficiently free immersion perfume ingredients, also to achieve a sufficient fuel rate in order to sufficiently diffuse the fragrance, it is possible to obtain a stable Kaorukemuri lasting effect.

Incense is composed by including immersion perfume and co-retardant. Further, as other components, inorganic compounds, binder may be such as colorant are immersed containing, in addition to the aromatic effect, and deodorizing and sterilizing effect, when granting such anthelmintic effect, additional functionality It can also be free immersion of the components. For incense, for example, prepare a mixed solution in which a fragrance, a combustion aid, and other components are dissolved or suspended in one or more solvents selected from an organic solvent and water, and a carrier is immersed in the mixed solution. Can be produced by impregnating various components.

The incense of the present invention was vividly colored as shown in FIG. 2, and it was confirmed that the color of the colorant was reflected as it was. Further, incense prepared by the above method except that the colorant was Food Red No. 104 is colored to the inside, it was confirmed that the incense ingredient is free immersion up to the center of the core portion (Figure 3). In addition, the carrier used in the incense is excellent in elasticity, from strong to water wet, not seen fray and fluff most of the surface even after including immersion incense component, was also excellent aesthetic appearance of the product.

The incense of the present invention cut into 5 cm and two kinds of controls were placed on an incombustible mat (photograph (1) in FIG. 4), and fired from one end. In both cases, ignition was easy. The incense of the present invention continued to burn for about 4 minutes without disappearing on the way, and the ash that maintained the shape of the incense remained without dropping the ash on the way (photographs (2) to (2) in FIG. 5)). The surface shape of the incense ash of the present invention is as smooth as the ash remaining after smoked incense using a conventional powder carrier, and the incense of the present invention can be used as a substitute for the conventional incense It turns out that. It was also found that the incense ash according to the present invention is gathered without collapsing, and is superior to conventional incense in that it can be prevented from falling and soiling the surroundings. On the other hand, the incense of the octopus yarn of Control 1 has an uneven surface where the shape of the twisted yarn is more conspicuous although the ash that persisted in combustion remains, and is used as a substitute for the conventional incense stick This proved difficult (photos (2) to (5) in FIG. 4). Moreover, it turned out that the surface of the ash of the control 1 is easy to collapse, and the ash may fall and stain the surroundings (photo (5) in FIG. 4). Furthermore, the burning rate of the incense of the paper from Control No. 2 was very fast, the ash shrunk small, and no ash that maintained the shape of the incense remained (photographs (2) to (5) in FIG. 4). The incense of the present invention is provided with a sheath part formed of a stretchable braid, so that a flow path of air to the inside of the incense is formed, and an appropriate amount of a combustible agent is provided to the center part of the core part. by was free immersion, when burned incense, air flow is formed in the carrier incense, smoke is assumed that lasted stably. Furthermore, compared to twisted yarn, the surface of the sheath part made of braid has less unevenness and is elastic, so the remaining ash surface is smooth like a conventional incense stick, and the shape of the ash is less likely to collapse I guess.

In addition to the adsorption rate of the alcohol, the colorant formulation alcoholic solution to cut various samples were immersed containing, was visually confirmed whether the colorant into the inside is immersed free. As shown in FIG. 5, the colorant adsorbs only on the surface of the twisted paper (b), hemp yarn (c), and octopus yarn (d), whereas the carrier (a) used in Example 1 It was found that the colorant uniformly penetrated into the core part.

From the above results, the incense produced using a carrier having a core-sheath structure including a sheath part made of braid and a core part surrounded by the sheath part is a sufficient amount of a mixed solution it has been found that it is possible to free immersion of the components. From the results of this adsorption test, it can be understood that the incense of the present invention increases the adsorbed amount of the fragrance and the auxiliary combustor compared to twisted yarn and paper. Moreover, it can be understood that this increase in the amount of adsorption contributes to the stable soot sustaining effect of the incense of the present invention and the high scent diffusion effect.
