Definitions

• the present invention relates to a perfume bead and a cigarette filter including the same.
• the flavor added to the tobacco leaf includes a first flavor as a casing source and a second flavor as a top flavor.
• the components of the second fragrance are relatively volatile and susceptible to thermal decomposition. Therefore, for cigarettes with a second fragrance, if the second fragrance is volatilized during storage and the savory taste during smoking is reduced, the second fragrance is chiacoal. ⁇ Adsorption is further reduced. Tiacol adsorbed with the second fragrance will reduce the ability to remove components in the mainstream smoke of tobacco.
• Japanese Patent No. 2709077 discloses that the second fragrance is microencapsulated with a natural polysaccharide and the microcapsules are added to a tobacco filter by so-called cavity filling. Since the fragrance is enclosed in microcapsules made of natural polysaccharides, the fragrance does not migrate or volatilize during storage. Therefore, even when used with a Thiakol filter, the Thiakol filter contains the mainstream smoke of tobacco. It does not reduce the component removal ability.
• the fragrance in the microcapsule can be tasted for the first time by crushing or crushing with a finger (application of external force) when smoking a cigarette.

It can be formed by heating and melting on a granular carrier 22 and then recrystallizing by cooling. In order to prevent the solid fragrance such as menthol from growing until it becomes columnar crystals during cooling, it is preferable to add a crystal growth inhibitor such as fatty acid, glycerin, propylene glycol or the like to the solid fragrance.
