Description

 The invention relates to the tobacco industry and can be used in tobacco-fermentation plants and tobacco factories.

 There is a method of preparing smoking tobacco, according to which, to improve the aroma of tobacco smoke of smoking products, cut tobacco (a finished tobacco bag) is sprayed with solutions of various extracts, for example, anise, mint, cloves, cinnamon, etc. After flavoring, the tobacco is kept for 24 hours for uniform distribution in flavoring it.

 In the present invention, plants containing essential oils are provided as a flavoring agent. They are in good harmony with tobacco, improve the aroma of tobacco smoke and reduce smoke toxic substances that adversely affect human health.

 To compare the quality indicators of the known and proposed smoking mixtures, additional special studies were carried out.

 According to the prototype of cutting tobacco, tobacco bags of class 4 were treated with peppermint extract and anise extract in an amount of 0.25% by weight of the raw material. This amount is noted by tasters as optimal. With a greater addition of extract, the harmony between tobacco and flavor is disturbed. The tasting commission of the NGO Tabak smoked cigarettes made from flavored tobacco.

 In comparison, the tasting properties of cigarettes made from the same tobacco, but with aromatic plant additives, were evaluated.

 The indicators are summarized in table. 1.

 As can be seen from table 1, the tasting score of cigarettes with vegetable flavors is much higher. The aroma of cigarettes improved by 0.4-1.8 points in comparison with the use of peppermint extract. The overall tasting score increased by 0.4-2.2 points. These are very significant changes on the tasting scale in force in the tobacco industry.

 In the case when the tobacco was treated with anise extract, the lowest tasting score of cigarettes was obtained, since this additive does not harmonize with tobacco.

 Recently, special attention has been paid to the creation of low-toxic smoking products. The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation has established the mandatory control of the content of toxic substances such as nicotine and dry condensate in tobacco smoke, which have a harmful effect on the smoker's body.

 The chemical composition of the tobacco smoke of the compared cigarettes was determined: with extracts and with vegetable flavors (see table 2).

 From the table. 2 shows that the use of flavoring plants reduces the harmfulness of tobacco smoke. Less toxic substances are contained in the chemical composition of smoke products with vegetable flavors in comparison with cigarettes, flavored extracts. This is an indisputable advantage of using plants containing essential oils as fragrances.

 If we take into account the fact that part of the tobacco (10-20%) in the tobacco bag is replaced with a herbal supplement, the cost of which is significantly (2-3 times) less than the cost of tobacco, then there is a decrease in the cost of smoking products. In addition, the use of herbal supplements is economically viable: their cost is significantly lower than the cost of extracts.
