- In the smoking process of traditional cigarette, the heat generated by a cigarette burning cone will be carried by mainstream smoke to a filter, and as the smoking progresses, the temperature of smoke passing through the filter gradually increases. Studies have shown that the temperature of the smoke at the filter can be as high as 70-80° C. near the end of smoking. Too high temperature at the filter will affect the retention effect of the filter, and will also affect consumer's evaluation on the sensory quality of smoke. Therefore, it is necessary to appropriately reduce the temperature of smoke. A heat-not-burn cigarette produces smoke by heating the tobacco product with an external heating element. Generally, the tobacco product reaches an atomization condition at 250-350° C. In order to ensure the amount of smoke, low or no adsorption is usually required at the filter. The temperature of high-temperature atomized smoke entering the mouth through the filter will be higher than that of traditional cigarette burning. Therefore, appropriate reduction of the temperature of smoke is also a key technology for the development of low-temperature cigarettes. Chinese patent CN201510045745.4 provides a filter and a cigarette. The temperature of smoke is reduced by adding a phase change material to the filter, the phase change material used is a mixture of a hydrated inorganic salt and urea, and the mixture is sprayed onto a cellulose acetate rod or its crystal is placed between two filters. As known in the industry, the use and effect of this hydrated salt are not ideal.

- 1) 60 parts of 100-150 mesh grapefruit peel powder, 40 parts of carbon powder, 20 parts of modified starch, 20 parts of microcrystalline cellulose and 10 parts of lactose by mass were taken, mixed uniformly and then sprayed with 25 parts of water, followed by uniform mixing to prepare a mixed soft material; 2) the soft material was granulated by extrusion rounding, dried and sieved, and 20-50 mesh particles were taken for later use; 3) PEG3000, palmitic acid and stearate-isopropanol ester in a mass ratio of 1: 1: 1 were melted to coat the obtained particles in an amount of 15% of the mass of the particles, followed by sieving, and 20-40 mesh particles were taken as cooling particles; 4) the obtained cooling particles were continuously molded with microwave into a loose and porous cylinder with a circumference of 23.5 mm, and the cylinder was cut into 120 mm long cooling filter rods; and 5) the cooling filter rods were compounded with paper empty tube sections in a length ratio of 10:15 for preparing low-temperature cigarettes, wherein the cooling sections were close to cut tobacco, and acetate fiber rods were also prepared into low-temperature cigarettes of the same specification as a control. The two kinds of filter rod cigarettes were smoked, the temperatures at the outlet ends of the filter rods were tested at the fifth time of smoking, and the results were shown in Table 1.

TABLE 1 Temperature test results Outlet temperature Outlet temperature of samples of of samples of control rods cooling filter rods Example 1 65° C. 31° C. Example 2 67° C. 37° C. Example 3 55° C. 26° C. - The tests showed that the cooling filter rod provided by the present invention had a very obvious cooling effect, and compared with traditional filter rod cigarettes, the outlet temperature was reduced by more than 50%.
- In this embodiment, the test process included the following steps:
- 1) 100 parts of 100-150 mesh tobacco raw material powder, 20 parts of modified starch and 30 parts of microcrystalline cellulose by mass were taken, mixed uniformly and then sprayed with 30 parts of water, followed by uniform mixing to prepare a mixed soft material; 2) the mixed soft material was granulated by extrusion rounding, dried and sieved, and 20-50 mesh cooling particle cores were taken for later use; 3) PEG2000 was melted by heating and thoroughly mixed with menthone in a mass ratio of 100: 0.5 to obtain a mixed liquid; 4) the obtained cooling particle cores were coated with the mixed liquid in an amount of 10% of the mass of cooling particles, followed by sieving, and 30-50 mesh cooling particles containing menthone were taken; 5) the obtained cooling particles were continuously molded with microwave into a loose and porous cylinder with a circumference of 23.5 mm, and the cylinder was cut into 120 mm long cooling filter rod sections; and 6) the cooling filter rod sections were compounded with acetate fiber sections in a length ratio of 10: 15 for preparing cigarettes, wherein the cooling sections were close to cut tobacco, and acetate fiber rods were also prepared into cigarettes of the same specification as a control. The two kinds of filter rod cigarettes were smoked, the temperatures at the outlet ends of the filter rods were tested at the fifth time of smoking, and the temperature test results were shown in Table 2. At the same time, the two kinds of cigarettes smoked were evaluated, and the results were shown in Table 3.
- In this embodiment, the test process included the following steps:
- 1) 80 parts of 100-150 mesh corncob flour, 20 parts of calcium carbonate, 10 parts of HPMC and 40 parts of microcrystalline cellulose by mass were taken, mixed uniformly and then sprayed with 25 parts of water, followed by uniform mixing to prepare a mixed soft material; 2) the mixed soft material was granulated by extrusion rounding, dried and sieved, and 20-50 mesh cooling particle cores were taken for later use; 3) stearic acid and pentaerythritol in a mass ratio of 1: 1 were melted by heating, and mixed thoroughly and uniformly with a tobacco extract in a mass ratio of 100: 5 to obtain a mixed liquid; 4) the obtained cooling particles were coated with the mixed liquid in an amount of 5% of the mass of the cooling particles, followed by sieving, and 20-40 mesh flavor enhanced cooling particles containing the tobacco extract were taken; 5) the obtained cooling particles were continuously molded into a loose and porous cylinder with a circumference of 23.5 mm by heat curing, and the cylinder was cut into 84 mm long cooling filter rod sections; and 6) the cooling filter rod sections were compounded with acetate fiber sections in a length ratio of 7:18 for preparing cigarettes, wherein the cooling sections were close to cut tobacco, and acetate fiber rods were also prepared into cigarettes of the same specification as a control. The two kinds of filter rod cigarettes were smoked, the temperatures at the outlet ends of the filter rods were tested at the fifth time of smoking, and the results were shown in Table 2. At the same time, the two kinds of cigarettes smoked were evaluated, and the results were shown in Table 3.
