Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for preparing basil extract is provided to give the fragrance of herbaceous and green to cigarette and ease a sharp taste of cigarette. CONSTITUTION: The method is characterized by the following steps of: (i) adding 0-7wt% of polyvalent alcohol such as glycerine or propylene glycol to 100wt% of basil; (ii) treating the plant with 300-700wt% of a water-soluble solvent with ultrasonic waves for 60-180min; (iii) stirring the processed plant for 3-5hr and separating the supernatant from the mixed basil; and then (iv) filtrating and condensing the supernatant to 30-70Be. The water-soluble solvent is a polar solvent chosen among water, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol and Benzyl alcohol.

Description

Tobacco flavor basil preparation method {METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF BASIL EXTRACT FOR CIGARETTES}

The present invention relates to a tobacco extract basil preparation method.

As the preferences of smokers are diversified and the demand for quality improvement is increasing, many studies are being conducted to develop cigarettes that meet consumer expectations. The method of combining the ingredients extracted from the natural plant has been tried to make.

The present inventors have found that in the course of studying tobacco flavor using natural aromatic plants, the extract of basil enhances taste such as enhancing herbaceous and green flavors and relieving irritation when smoking cigarettes. In particular, the basil extract contains not only volatile substances but also high-boiling substances and non-volatile substances, and the present invention was completed by focusing on improving the taste of tobacco as a tobacco flavor.

Basil is native to Asia and Africa. Currently, it is a year-old herb that is cultivated all over the world and is steam distilled from dried leaves and flower parts for food, medicine and fragrance. To date, however, no basil flavor has been used as a tobacco flavor.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a tobacco flavor which enhances taste while enriching the inherent flavor of tobacco.

The object of the present invention described above is to prepare a basil sonicate using a water-soluble solvent such as polyhydric alcohol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, sonication for 20-180 minutes, and then extract by stirring for 3-5 hours, and the basil prepared by filtration and concentration of the supernatant. A tobacco flavor of the present invention containing an extract is achieved.

Cigarettes treated with the fragrance containing the basil extract according to the present invention is rich in herbaceous, green fragrance and contains higher fatty acid esters, and when added to tobacco, stimulates and improves taste.

1 is a chromatogram of a basil extract of the present invention,

2 is a chromatogram of a conventional basil extract.

The basil extract preparation method according to the present invention will be described briefly as follows.

Add 0-7 parts of polyhydric alcohol to 100 parts of basil outpost and add 300-700 parts of water-soluble solvent. The mixture was sonicated for 60-180 minutes and stirred for 3-5 hours, then the supernatant was separated and concentrated to a concentration of 30-70 ° to obtain the basil extract of the present invention.

In the aforementioned extraction method, polyhydric alcohols are glycerin, propylene glycol, and the like, and water, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol, and the like are used as the water-soluble solvent for extraction.

The fragrance produced by the method of the present invention can be blended with the fragrance necessary to reinforce the flavor unique to basil as needed.

<Example>

Hereinafter, examples will be described so that the present invention can be specifically understood.

Example 1

5 g of propylene glycol and 500 ml of 70% ethanol were added to 100 g of basil starch, sonicated for 180 minutes, and stirred for 5 hours. After separating and filtering the supernatant, the extract was concentrated under reduced pressure to form a 30 ° spray.

Comparative Example 1

5 g of propylene glycol and 500 ml of 70% ethanol are added to 100 g of basil outpost and stirred for 8 hours. After separating and filtering the supernatant, the extract was concentrated under reduced pressure to form a 30 ° spray.

100 g of the prepared basil extract was added to 10 kg of yellow tobacco leaves to prepare a filter cigarette tobacco. Basil extract prepared by a conventional method was prepared in the same way filter cigarette tobacco. Table 1 shows the results of evacuation and taste evaluation of the manufactured prototype cigarettes to 20 professional taste evaluation agents.

# 1: Add basil extract flavoring (test)

# 2: adding flavor of conventional basil extract (comparative)

As a result of the taste evaluation, it was found that the tobacco to which the basil extract flavoring prepared by the method of the present invention was added to the tobacco was prepared by using the basil extract flavoring extracted by the conventional method, to stimulate irritation and improve taste.

Component analysis of the basil extract prepared in the above Examples and Comparative Examples and the results are shown in Table 2 and Figures 1 and 2. The numbers in FIGS. 1 and 2 represent the peaks of each component shown in Table 1.

As can be seen in Table 2, it can be seen that the basil extract according to the present invention subjected to sonication contains a lot of fatty acids, fatty acid ester compounds, linarul, etc., which have a stimulating alleviation effect compared to the conventional basil extract.

According to the present invention, a basil extract is obtained which has a stimulating effect of tobacco.
