The present invention relates to a method for producing sheet tobacco used as a raw material such as cigarettes.

More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for producing a platelet having a large wrinkles by combining tobacco debris such as tobacco powder with a specific binder.

Normal tobacco such as cigarettes uses sliced tobacco leaves as a raw material.

During the process of cutting the tobacco leaves or other tobacco manufacturing processes, various debris such as leaf debris, tobacco powder, leaf vein, etc. are generally generated. In order to effectively use these tobacco debris, conventionally, the tobacco debris is properly combined. Zero bonding, reinforcing material, moisturizing agent, etc. are added to them, and a plate is formed by passing through a pair of rolling rollers to form a plate, and the plate leaf attached to the surface of one roller is peeled off with a doctor knife. (Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 5919).

These leaflets are sliced and mixed into normal tobacco, and are used as raw materials for tobacco such as cigarettes.

Pleated leaf produced in this way is economically advantageous because it can reduce the amount of cigarettes required for cigarette tobacco as the swelling (膨 嵩 性) becomes larger (volume) when sliced.

According to the above-described method, the wrinkles of the platelets are imparted when the platelets are peeled off.

However, the wrinkles of the platelets thus obtained are as small as about 0.2 mm, with the thickness of 0.1-0.2 mm and the height of the wrinkles, including the thickness of the platelets, when 0.1 mm thick platelets are used as shown in FIG. Wrinkles are formed, and the increase in volatility is not very large when cutting.

In the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application Publication Show No. 5919 No. 48, it is described that a large wrinkle can be formed by using a special wiper.

However, this method has the drawback that large wrinkles are not formed in a short time due to the wear of other skids in long time use.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing a highly expandable lamellar leaf that can form large wrinkles even when the skir wears, and is achieved by using a specific amount of a specific substance as a binder.

That is, the present invention extrudes the wet powder obtained by wetting the raw material powder containing tobacco with water between a pair of rolling rollers, and then forms a plate-shaped leaf adhered onto the surface of one side of the rolling roller. A method of manufacturing a corrugated leaflet by peeling off using a scotch, wherein the material granules are added with a substance selected from the group shown below as a binder in an amount as indicated below. The amount indicated below indicates the amount relative to the weight before the addition of the water of the total wet granules (ie the total weight of the raw granules).

(1) 4-10% by weight of alpha starch or alginic acid propylene glycol ester, (2) hydrolyzed starch of molecular weight 100,000-900,000, gum arabic, carboxymethyl cellulose salt of molecular weight 10,000-20,000, or methoxylation degree 7- 4-11% by weight of the methoxyl pectin 17% with an esterification degree of 62-77%, (3) a mixture of 4, 4, 6-triglucosaccharide polymer and sodium salt of carboxymethyl cellulose, formerly 1.9-7.9% by weight %, The latter is 1.3-3.2% by weight.

By adding the material as a binder to the raw material granules in the above-mentioned predetermined amounts, a platelet having a wrinkle having a size of about 2 mm and a height of about 1 mm can be obtained.

Wrinkles imparted by the present invention, unlike the conventional method, have small wrinkles and larger swelling in the larger wrinkles as shown in FIG.

In addition, the method of the invention does not use a specific scraper as described in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 5919 No. 48, 48, and a large wrinkle can be formed even if the scraper is very worn.

In addition, the platelets obtained by the method of the invention are excellent in water resistance as in Examples described later, and the taste at the time of smoking is also good.

Now, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and test examples.

In the method of the present invention, first, a raw material powder containing tobacco such as tobacco crumbs is prepared and wetted with water.

This raw material separator, like the raw material separator used in the past, contains tobacco crumbs, tobacco such as leaf veins, a binder, and a moisturizer, a reinforcing agent, a water repellent, etc., if necessary. Water is added to wet the raw material granules (to a suitable moisture content).

A feature of the present invention is to use a specific amount of a specific substance as a binder, and the materials that can be used as a binder are as follows.

(1) alpha starch

(2) Alginic acid propylene glycol ester

(3) hydrolyzed starch of molecular weight 100,000-900,000

(4) arabian sword

(5) Carboxymethyl cellulose salt (sodium salt, potassium salt) of molecular weight 10,000-20,000

(6) High methoxyl pectin with 7-17% methoxylation and 62-77% esterification

(7) Mixture of 4, 4, 6-triglucosaccharide polymer with sodium salt of carboxymeltyl cellulose

These binders need to use a specific amount.

That is, in the case of the material of (1) or (2), 4-10% by weight relative to the total weight of the raw material granules (that is, the total weight before adding the water of the wet granular material), and the above (3) (6) 4-11% by weight of the substance, 1.9-7.9% by weight of the 4, 4, 6-triglucosaccharide polymer and 1.3-3.2% by weight of the sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose in the case of the above (7). It is desirable to.

Other components constituting the raw material powder are the same as the conventional ones.

That is, as tobacco, various tobacco debris such as leaf debris, furniture debris, leaf veins, and other powders (powders generated from a winnower) can be used.

The content of tobacco in the raw material granules is usually preferably 50% -80%, but more preferably 70% -75%.

The raw material granular material may contain a suitable amount of a moisturizer, a reinforcing agent, and a water resistant agent as in the prior art.

The wet powder is prepared by mixing each component to prepare a raw material powder, and then adding water to give a proper water content and mixing the same.

The water content in the wet granules is usually preferably 30% -70%, but more preferably 40% -60%.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the wet granules 2 are extruded between a pair of rolling rollers 1 and 1 rotating in opposite directions to form a plate.

At this time, the main speed of the roller 1 is 20 m / min or more, More preferably, it is 70 m / min or more.

In addition, the distance between the rollers 1 and 1 is usually about 0.1 mm.

When the wet granular material 2 is extruded between the rollers 1 and 1, the formed leaflets 3 adhere to the surface of the roller 1 having the larger surface speed, as is widely known in the art. . At this time, the scraper 4 peels off the platelets 3 attached to the surface of the roller 1.

The stripped leaflets 5 are burned by the belt conveyor 7 and sent to the next step.

The peeled flaky leaf 5 of this invention is provided with the wrinkles of the size as shown in FIG. 2, and small wrinkles are formed in big wrinkles, and its swelling becomes further higher.

It peeled off, it burned on the upper surface of the belt conveyor 7, and put it in the dryer (not shown), and the plate | leaf leaf of 11 weight% of moisture and thickness 0.1mm was manufactured.

Subsequently, the leaflets were processed into tobacco sliced to 0.8 mm in width and 10 mm in length in a cigarette cutter.

As a result of measuring the increase rate of swelling of the control group to the sun tobacco using the obtained tobacco, the increase rate of swelling was measured by putting 15 g of the tested tobacco into a cylindrical container having an inner diameter of 72 mm and compressing it at a constant speed of 0.5 mm / sec. The volume at 250 g / cm was obtained, and the volume was obtained in the same manner for the control, and the percentage of the volume was greater than that of the control.

The volume of the control was 33 cm 3.

Moreover, the increase rate of water resistance was measured using the plate leaf obtained by the method as mentioned above.

The rate of increase in water resistance is poured into a Petri dish of 200 mm in diameter and 150 m of warm water at 30 ° C., and the platelets are cut out into a circle of 30 mm in diameter, and the Petri dishes are placed at intervals of 5 seconds and Six times per minute with 16 mm amplitude, the time until the circular plate leaves were broken down to more than three pieces was calculated. The same time was also obtained for the control plate leaves, and how much longer was the time than the control plate? Was indicated.

The water resistance of the control was 10 minutes.

Moreover, the granule which becomes a raw material of the leaflet of a control or the tobacco of the control had the following composition.
