Description

A method for preparing cigarettes from smoke beads

technical field

The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarettes, and in particular relates to a preparation method of a novel cigarette.

Background technique

At present, most of cigarettes are made by connecting shredded tobacco with cigarette paper and filter tip. This technology is mature and the production speed is very fast. It is a common method for making cigarettes at home and abroad.

Due to the different types, origins, grades, and years of tobacco leaves, the taste of smoking varies greatly. Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of the style characteristics of product cigarettes, the leaf group formula of finished cigarettes of each specification generally has dozens of tobacco leaf specifications mixed. However, the shredded tobacco of a cigarette is only dozens of pieces, and the shape and length are different, so it is difficult to mix evenly in the blending and mixing process, and it is difficult to ensure that all kinds of shredded tobacco required in the formula are evenly distributed in each cigarette , so it is inevitable that the shredded tobacco formula of each cigarette cannot be guaranteed to be completely consistent, resulting in certain fluctuations in the quality stability of each cigarette.

In addition, the existing cigarettes have a short smoking time and usually only take a few puffs. How to extend the smoking time as much as possible on the basis of ensuring the quality of smoking evaluation is also the goal of the industry.

Because powder mixing is easier to achieve uniformity than shredded tobacco mixing, if the tobacco leaves of various specifications in the leaf group formula can be ground into powder, and then mixed and made into cigarettes, it is possible to improve the stability of cigarette quality.

Contents of the invention

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cigarette preparation method which can improve the quality stability of the cigarette and prolong the smoking time of the cigarette.

To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

A method for preparing cigarettes with smoke beads, comprising the following steps:

1) Powder the cigarette leaves into a fine powder, take the binder according to 0.1-1% of the weight of the fine powder, dissolve it in water, add it to the above fine powder, stir evenly to make a soft material, and then squeeze out the soft material- Spheronizing machine, first extruded into slender strips through the extruder, then spheronized by the spheronizer, and dried to obtain smoke beads with a particle size range of 0.5-4mm and a bulk density of 1.2-1.8g/ml;

2) Add 0.1-1% rubber powder to the smoke beads, mix them evenly, put them into a mold and feed steam at 110-150°C, and apply a pressure of 0.5-2Kg/ ^cm2 at the same time to press the smoke beads into a smoke stick;

3) Wrap the cigarette stick with cigarette paper, connect it with a filter, and make a cigarette according to a conventional method.

Preferably, the particle size of the fine powder is 60-100 mesh. In order to improve the combustibility of cigarettes and make the smoke beads easy to form, it is more appropriate to control the particle size of the fine powder at 60-100 mesh. If the particle size of the fine powder is too large, the density of the bead body will be too small, which will cause the cigarette's suction resistance to be too small and burn too fast; on the contrary, if the particle size of the fine powder is too small, the density of the bead body will be too large, resulting in It increases the smoking resistance of cigarettes, and the combustion is too slow or insufficient, which affects the evaluation of smoking. The best fine powder particle size is 80 mesh.

Preferably, the binder is one or more of povidone, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, and carboxymethyl cellulose. The use of these adhesives not only facilitates the formation of the bead, but also does not affect the smoking quality.

Preferably, gelatin, carrageenan or xanthan gum is selected as the rubber powder in order to facilitate the shaping of the cigarette stick without affecting the smoking quality.

Preferably, the particle size range of the smoke beads is 0.8-1.5mm, and the bulk density is 1.4-1.6g/ml. The particle size and bulk density of smoke beads have a crucial impact on the quality of cigarettes, and will directly affect the draw resistance, combustibility and smoking evaluation of cigarettes. If the particle size of the smoke beads is too small or the bulk density is too large, the density of the smoke stick will increase, which will increase the suction resistance and deteriorate the combustibility; on the contrary, if the particle size of the smoke beads is too large or the bulk density is too small, it will cause smoke The density of the rod is reduced, so that the resistance to draw decreases and the combustion is too fast.

The bulk density of smoke beads can be controlled by adjusting the pressure and speed of the extruder and the frequency and rotation speed of the spheronizer, which is a conventional technology that can be mastered by those skilled in the art.

Preferably, the pressure in step 2) is 1-1.5Kg/cm ² . The pressure of pressing the tobacco stick will also affect the draw resistance, combustibility and puffing of the cigarette, therefore, the pressure in step 2) is controlled at 1-1.5Kg/cm ² is the most suitable.

Preferably, the drying described in step 1) is drying at a temperature of 60-80° C. for 4-6 hours. The drying temperature and time of the bead will affect the moisture content of the bead and the smoking taste of the tobacco.

The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

1. The cigarette is novel in form, no longer conventional cut tobacco, but a tobacco stick made of pressed tobacco beads, which can bring consumers a brand new experience.

2. The cigarette formula is uniform, which solves the problem of uneven mixing of tobacco rolling formula and ensures the stability of cigarette smoking quality.

3. The present invention can prolong the burning time of cigarettes and increase the number of puffs under the premise of ensuring the suction resistance and combustibility by adjusting the particle size, bulk density and density of the cigarette sticks, so that consumers can get more satisfaction. powerful.

4. The cigarettes prepared by the present invention have good coordination between smokers and testers, strong energy and no dry feeling.
