Description

The invention relates to the tobacco industry, and in particular to a technology for manufacturing a high-security smoking mixture intended for smoking using a hookah. A method of reducing the toxicity of smoking mixtures for hookah can be used at tobacco enterprises.

In recent years, the consumption of non-traditional tobacco products, such as hookah “Tobacco for hookah,” having a wide palette of taste and aroma, has been growing in the Russian Federation. In accordance with Federal Law of December 22, 2008 No. 268-ФЗ “Technical Regulations for Tobacco Products”, tobacco for hookah is a type of smoking tobacco product intended for smoking using a hookah and is a mixture of cut or torn raw materials for the production of tobacco products with or without non-tobacco raw materials and other ingredients.

Known methods for the preparation of smoking compositions that regulate the amount of nicotine in the mixture and reduce the toxicity of the mixtures.

For example, the smoking composition (Pat. RU No. 2048780, A24B 13/00, publ. 11/27/95) contains nicotine in the form of an inclusion complex formed between the cyclo compound and nicotine, which is included in various amounts of mass percent in the smoking article and maintains a stable content of nicotine-containing component until it is released by smoking. The nicotine-containing component is mixed with tobacco or non-nicotine smoking material.

The disadvantage is the complicated method of preliminary preparation of the nicotine-containing complex, in which the spread of nicotine can be from 6 to 17 wt.%.

There is also a method of preparing a smoking mixture for hookah (Pat. RU 2446719, A24B 3/12, publ. 10.04.11), including pre-sorting and selection of tobacco leaves that are not damaged by diseases and pests, removing the middle vein, grinding tobacco leaves to sizes not less than 1 cm ² , washing with water at a temperature of 85-90 ° C every hour for 8 hours, separating the crushed tobacco of high humidity from water and drying, mixing with breaking glues, drying the crushed tobacco in an open container at a temperature of 28-30 ° C to humidity 20%, exposure of crushed tobacco in a closed container, exposure at a temperature of 45-50 ° C for 7 days, applying a pre-prepared sauce solution to prepared crushed tobacco, mixing, introducing a pre-prepared flavor solution and food coloring, thoroughly mixing all components of tobacco for hookah, baking homogeneous mixture in a closed container at room temperature for 7 days with stirring of the target product every 6 hours and packaging.

Reducing the toxicity of the smoking mixture for hookah is due to the large multiplicity of washing of the tobacco raw materials with exposure to high temperature water.

The disadvantage of this method is the lack of the possibility of further regulation of the nicotine content in the mixture, as well as a decrease in the quality of the final product due to leaching of substances that positively affect the taste (carbohydrates).

The technical result of the invention is to obtain the target product with a given, controlled nicotine content, reducing the toxicity of the product by replacing part of the tobacco material with vegetable raw materials.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that in the method of preparing a smoking mixture for hookah, which involves the selection of leaf tobacco raw materials, removing the middle vein, moistening and grinding leaf blades to a size of at least 1 cm ² , preliminary preparation of the sauce and its application on tobacco, aging the mixture and packaging , according to the invention, in order to reduce the toxicity of the mixture, the nicotine content is preliminarily determined in the crushed tobacco raw materials, then the tobacco is mixed with the crushed herbal supplement in a certain ratio, depending on the nicotine content in tobacco, but so that it does not exceed 20% of the total composition of the target product, condition the mixture of tobacco with a herbal supplement to a moisture content of 25-30%, pasteurize at a temperature of 50 ± 5 ° C for 7 hours and the sauce consisting of glycerin and honey is applied heated to 60 ° C and the mixture is kept for at least 72 hours with periodic stirring, while the target product has the following ratio of components: herbal supplement (nettle, sorrel) - up to 20%, glycerin - 40%, honey - 15%, tobacco cheese ye - the rest.

The causal relationship of the essential features of the invention and the technical result is as follows.

Determination of the nicotine content in the source tobacco makes it possible by calculation to establish the amount of added vegetable supplement, which is used as vegetable raw materials (nettle, sorrel) and get a product with a given nicotine content, reduce the toxicity of the final, target product.

Conditioning a mixture of tobacco with a herbal supplement to a moisture content of 25-30% helps to equalize the moisture content of the mixed components.

Pasteurization of the mixture with a herbal supplement at a temperature of 50 ± 5 ° C for 7 hours is quite sufficient to prevent the development of pathogens and preserve the consumer properties of the target product during long-term storage.

A pre-prepared sauce solution, heated before application to 60 ° C, promotes better impregnation of the mixture, the honey contained in the sauce, which is a natural preservative, prolongs the shelf life of the product and tastes good with tobacco and plant raw materials, giving the final product a soft, full-bodied taste. Extracting the mixture with sauce for 72 hours with stirring, brings the product to a homogeneous mixture.

Nettle is a genus of flowering plants of the Nettle family (Urticaceae). The stems and leaves are covered with burning hairs that define the name: uro “burn”. The hairs are large cells, which contributes to the good absorbency of the sauce in the manufacture of a smoking mixture for hookah. Stinging nettle is widely used in medicine and the food industry.

Sorrel (Rumex) is a genus of one and perennial grasses and shrubs of the Buckwheat family (Polygonaceae) with oblong leaves. Widely used as a vegetable crop and medicinal plant. When used in food, it gives the product a pleasant sour taste.

The use of nettle and sorrel as a herbal supplement, each of which has its own characteristics, has a great effect on the properties of the smoking mixture. Both of them do not have bright aromatic properties, and, accordingly, these additives do not change the traditional tobacco aroma of the hookah mixture, but have a positive effect on creating a feeling of fullness when using a hookah mixture.

The method is implemented as follows.

Pre-sorted and selected tobacco leaves that are not damaged by diseases and pests, remove the midrib, chop the tobacco leaves to a size of at least 1 cm ² . The nicotine content in the tobacco raw material is determined and mixed with crushed herbal supplement (nettle or sorrel) in a certain ratio, depending on the nicotine content in tobacco, but so that herbal supplement does not exceed 20% of the total composition of the target product, a hookah mixture. Condition the mixture of tobacco with herbal supplement to a moisture content of 25-30%), then pasteurize at a temperature of 50 ± 5 ° C for 7 hours, apply a pre-prepared sauce solution heated to 60 ° C to the mixture of tobacco with herbal supplement. The composition of the sauce includes glycerin - 40% and honey - 15%. The mixture is kept for at least 72 hours with stirring and packaged in a sealed container.

Using in the recipe up to 20%) of the total composition of the herbal supplement mixture, it makes it possible to reduce the toxicity of the product by replacing nicotine-containing tobacco raw materials, and controlling the nicotine content in tobacco raw materials makes it possible to obtain a high-security product with an adjustable nicotine content. The final product has a pleasant full flavor and a mild tobacco aroma, as used herbal supplements do not alter the traditional tobacco smell.
