The invention relates to the application of coconut raw juice concentrate and belongs to the field of tobacco flavoring.

Background technique

Coconut belongs to the genus Cocos palmaceae and is the main oil crop and food energy crop in the tropics. Its comprehensive utilization has high economic value, so it enjoys the reputation of "treasure tree". Coconuts are mainly distributed in tropical regions between north and south latitudes of 20°. They are planted in more than 90 countries and regions around the world, with a planting area of 11 million m2 and an annual output of 57 billion coconuts. Coconut cultivation in my country has a history of more than 2,000 years, mainly in Hainan Province, and a small amount in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Taiwan. At present, my country's coconut planting area is 46,000 m2, with an annual output of 243 million coconuts. Coconut water, the liquid endosperm inside the coconut nut cavity, is a nutrient-dense natural beverage. Coconut water has a good effect on enhancing kidney blood circulation and diuresis. It can be used clinically as an auxiliary treatment for hepatitis and gastroenteritis; in microbiology it can be used as a microbial culture medium; in the food industry it can be used to develop a variety of foods, such as coconut, Coconut wine, coconut water drinks, etc. Its main components are reducing sugars, minerals, proteins, amino acids and other trace components. Coconut water, especially tender coconut water, has medicinal value such as promoting digestion, diuresis, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. In the folk, tender coconut water is often used to treat infant gastroenteritis, reduce heat, kill roundworms, and also be used to treat fever caused by rashes, chickenpox, and measles. It can also be used as a drink for cholera patients and a tonic for the elderly and weak. . Because of its comprehensive nutrition and rich in a variety of hormones that can promote cell growth and development, coconut water can be used as a culture medium for microbial culture and plant tissue culture, and can also be used for fresh flowers.

Comparative Example 1

Fresh coconut juice is taken and evaporated under reduced pressure at a pressure of 60mmHg and a temperature of 70°C until the solid content of the concentrate is greater than or equal to 99%, thereby obtaining the coconut juice concentrate.

Take some coconut juice concentrate, dilute it with Daqu liquor at 52°C to a solution with a concentration of 2.0g/L, take 5mL of the above solution, and add fragrance by spraying, so that the above solution is evenly sprayed on 1000g of shredded tobacco, at 22°C and relative Equilibrate for 48 hours under the condition of humidity 60%, take it out and make cigarettes, smoke them for evaluation, compare with the blank sample (without flavoring) for evaluation, the evaluation effect: the amount of aroma is increased, the sweetness is enhanced, but it is in harmony with the original aroma of tobacco Sex is not good. The main performance is burnt sweet, with a slightly burnt taste, slightly bitter aftertaste, and decreased comfort.

Comparative Example 2

Fresh coconut juice is taken under reduced pressure evaporation at a pressure of 90 mmHg and a temperature of 30° C., concentrated until the solid content of the concentrate is ≥ 99%, and the coconut juice concentrate is obtained.

Take some coconut concentrate, dilute it with Daqu wine at 52°C to a solution with a concentration of 2.0g/L, take 5mL of the above solution, and add fragrance by spraying, so that the above solution is evenly sprayed on 1000g of cut tobacco, at 22°C and a relative humidity of 60 % under the condition of 48h, take out and make cigarettes, smoke them, and make a relative evaluation with the blank sample (without flavoring). The gas is increased, which is not in harmony with the original aroma of tobacco. The specific manifestations are: nasal miscellaneous gas has increased, the aftertaste is astringent, and the aroma of coconut (milk fragrance) is obvious.

Comparative Example 3

With fresh coconut meat as raw material, the coconut meat is mechanically minced, add 70% alcohol twice its weight, age for 6 hours, then filter and wash the filter residue with ethanol, and the filtrate is evaporated under reduced pressure at 45°C to remove 99% of solvents and other substances are available.

Take some coconut meat concentrate, dilute it with Daqu wine at 52°C to a solution with a concentration of 2.0g/L, take 5mL of the above solution, and add fragrance by spraying, so that the above solution is evenly sprayed on 1000g of shredded tobacco, at 22°C and relative humidity Equilibrate for 48 hours under the condition of 60%, take out and make cigarettes, smoke them for evaluation, and compare with the blank sample (without flavoring) for evaluation. The evaluation effect is as follows: the amount of aroma has increased, the smoke is delicate, soft, and sweet. Enhanced, but the mixed gas is increased, which is not in harmony with the original aroma of tobacco, the aftertaste is astringent, and the aroma of coconut (milk aroma) is obvious.

Judging from Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, only under appropriate evaporation pressure and temperature can the maximum retention of the active components with aroma-enhancing and moisturizing effects in the coconut extract be guaranteed. If the evaporation concentration vacuum is too high If the temperature and temperature are too high, the active components will volatilize too much, and the caramelization reaction will occur at the same time, resulting in a burnt sweet taste, and the comfort will decrease; and if the evaporation and concentration vacuum is too low and the temperature is too low, too many low-boiling impurities will remain. When it comes down, its miscellaneous smell is more obvious, mainly because the coconut milk fragrance is relatively strong, and the milk fragrance is avoided by ordinary cigarette products. It can be seen from Comparative Example 3 that the concentrates obtained by concentrating the compounds extracted with different solvents have completely different components and completely different fragrances.
