The rolled Burley tobacco stems may be combined with tobacco lamina prior to the treatment steps.
Description
The present invention relates to the innovative approach of the burley tobaccos offal that uses in the treatment formulations pipe tobacco.It also relates to the production that cuts filler that comprises the burley tobaccos offal of having processed in this way.
Traditionally, the product that cuts filler that smoking product is used is mainly partly formed by the stripped leaf of tobacco leaf, this stripped leaf part during beating the leaf process with the stalk of tobacco leaf partly from.The stalk section of the tobacco-containing material that stripped leaf partly is removed, separately stays afterwards seldom uses, and therefore the most of of tobacco-containing material stalk section just wasted so.
Quantity for the stalk part that increases tobacco-containing material can be used economically, before proposed to process the offal of having removed, and then finished offal and stripped leaf mixed to form to cut filler.Such as, the technology of known processing offal relates to wetting offal, then roll-in they to reduce thickness, and destroy the eucaryotic cell structure of offal.Such roll-in technology is attempted with polytype tobacco, comprises, for example Virginia type cigarette, Turkish tobaccos or its combination.Another example of processing offal comprises that the cutting offal is to reduce their size.Offal before they are mixed into pipe tobacco not by roll-in or further processing.
In the situation that the offal that flattens that offal, by roll-in, causes can more easily mix with the tobacco stripped leaf, and incorporate in the cutting filler of cigarette.Yet the process of roll-in does not affect the taste feature of offal usually, so the overall taste of the offal mainstream smoke that may generate when burning of cutting filler produces undesirable impact.The situation of the offal of burley tobaccos tobacco leaf is especially true.
It is desirable for the method for processing the burley tobaccos offal is provided, thereby make them have improved mouthfeel and outward appearance, thus and the blending constituent that cuts filler as smoking product preferably that becomes.Especially it is desirable for that such method can affect the taste of burley tobaccos offal, make including in of offal produce gratifying taste-affect to mainstream smoke.The use legacy equipment that is to provide of also wishing is processed the method for burley tobaccos offal, thereby make, implements such method cost efficient.
According to the present invention, it provides and has processed the method that is used in the burley tobaccos offal in cutting filler, and the method comprises the steps:
It is 0.1 to the burley tobaccos roll-in offal of 0.5mm that roll-in thickness is provided;
Moisture regain roll-in offal is to increase moisture content;
Apply reinforced agent to roll-in, moisture regain roll-in offal;
To having applied the roll-in offal heating of reinforced agent;
After heating, then the offal that gets damp again, to increase moisture content;
Offal after cutting gets damp again again; And
Roll-in offal after dry cutting.
Be surprised to find, make the burley tobaccos offal stand processing method of the present invention in the mouthfeel of offal and all have in appearance significant, positive effect.After processing, the burley tobaccos offal has produced improved mouthfeel and fragrance.When with the tobacco stripped leaf, mixing to form while cutting filler, the burley tobaccos offal after processing can increase new, attracting taste composition to mainstream smoke.Processing method of the present invention also makes the colour-darkening of burley tobaccos offal, and the outward appearance that makes them is more near the outward appearance of burley tobaccos stripped leaf.In the situation that offal is cut to the cutting width similar to the cutting width of stripped leaf subtly, the offal after processing and tobacco stripped leaf can not be from visually distinguishing, even be also like this under the relatively high level of including in.
Due to processing method of the present invention these good effects to the burley tobaccos offal, the burley tobaccos offal can be used as of cutting filler can accept composition.During the burley tobaccos offal can also join than possible before remarkable larger ratio and cut filler, thus the exploitation that improves the burley tobaccos material.By reducing the ratio of tobacco-containing material waste, the use of method of the present invention also has positive ambient influnence.
Burley tobaccos offal shape is cost-efficient for the use of burley tobaccos or other types tobacco stripped leaf, because the offal of burley tobaccos tobacco leaf can obtain by the cost lower than tobacco stripped leaf usually.The burley tobaccos offal can advantageously use existing for the treatment of the device processes of tobacco stripped leaf.This allows method of the present invention to implement in efficient, cost-efficient mode.In addition, can the person of being lowered into eliminate, otherwise about offal, dispose the cost that causes.
Cutting filler that burley tobaccos offal after processing can advantageously be sneaked into can comprise polytype tobacco-containing material.These types can comprise, for example Turkish tobaccos, Virginia type cigarette or Ka Nuli cigarette.Cut filler and also can comprise part must be processed before mixing burley tobaccos tobacco stripped leaf.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, before the moisture regain of offal is processed, roll-in burley tobaccos offal and burley tobaccos tobacco stripped leaf are merged, making all subsequent processing steps is all to carry out for the burley tobaccos offal and the stripped leaf that merge.Alternately, the burley tobaccos offal can be on the production line different from the tobacco stripped leaf be processed separately, and tobacco stripped leaf and burley tobaccos offal can mix after processing-.
The roll-in of burley tobaccos offal is thick to 0.1mm to 0.5mm, make offal with the size production identical with the tobacco stripped leaf.Advantageously, this means that the mixture of burley tobaccos offal and stripped leaf can be in the situation that not separated offal and stripped leaf pass through treatment facility together.If needed, the mixture of burley tobaccos offal and stripped leaf can be under same procedure of processing and condition-and rise expediently and process.As discussed above, therefore method of the present invention can use the existing equipment execution that the tobacco stripped leaf is processed that has been used for.This provides and has processed efficient, the cost-efficient mode of burley tobaccos offal and stripped leaf, and does not need extra equipment.
Term " thickness " refers to the size of the burley tobaccos offal of size reduction during the roll-in process.Usually, this thickness is being approximately perpendicular to offal by the size on the direction of the moving direction of roller corresponding to offal.The burley tobaccos offal is after the method according to this invention is processed, and the thickness of offal is usually corresponding to of the minimum in three sizes of each burley tobaccos offal.The thickness of single burley tobaccos cabo particle can use traditional measurement equipment accurately to measure at microscopically.The thickness of cabo particle is measured in the thickest part.
In discussion below the inventive method, the processing that relates to arbitrarily the burley tobaccos offal is applicable to the mixture of burley tobaccos offal and tobacco stripped leaf comparably, and this mixture was produced in certain embodiments before the moisture regain step.
Roll-in burley tobaccos offal preferably merges with burley tobaccos tobacco stripped leaf, with production have at least 2% weight offal, more preferably with at least 5% weight offal, more preferably with the burley tobaccos mixture of at least 6% weight offal.Under these levels, including in of offal will have the impact that in fact can't discover to the mouthfeel that cuts filler of having mixed the burley tobaccos mixtures.Yet due to mouthfeel and the outward appearance of the burley tobaccos offal improvement after processing, significantly more the offal of vast scale can be incorporated in the burley tobaccos mixture, and the acceptable mixture that is used in cutting filler still is provided.In the burley tobaccos mixture, the ratio of burley tobaccos offal anywhere can be up to 100%.Yet, particularly preferably being, the burley tobaccos mixture comprises the burley tobaccos offal between 2% to 40% weight, between 6% to 20% weight, is more preferably more preferably also between 2% to 20% weight.
After roll-in, the moisture regain of Burley Stem is necessary, thus the moisture content of increase burley tobaccos tobacco-containing material.This has been found to improve the efficiency of the subsequent step that applies therein reinforced agent (casing solution).Before the moisture regain step, the common moisture content of offal is at about 10% to 11% baking oven fugitive constituent (o.v.).During the moisture regain step, the moisture content of burley tobaccos offal is increased to 15%o.v. at least, and is more preferably about 20%o.v..Corresponding moisture regain step also can be implemented the mixture of burley tobaccos offal and burley tobaccos tobacco stripped leaf.
The moisture content of vegetable material is expressed as " % baking oven fugitive constituent " herein, and it is by measuring because the material tobacco stalk quality percent loss that under 103 ℃, oven dry generation evaporation in 100 minutes causes in baking oven is determined.All can determine easily the moisture content of burley tobaccos offal in any stage of the processing method of using this processing.
Similarly, the moisture regain again of burley tobaccos offal and burley tobaccos tobacco stripped leaf is also necessary,, so that after material being heated after having applied reinforced agent, increases the moisture content of burley tobaccos material again.Moisture regain has guaranteed that offal is enough pliable and tough again, can be in the situation that the offal damage does not occur or rupture to cut.After heating steps, then before the step that gets damp again, offal preferably has the moisture content between 5% to 18%o.v., more preferably between 15% to 16%o.v..During the step that gets damp again again, the moisture content of burley tobaccos offal is increased to and is at least 20%o.v..The corresponding step that gets damp again again also can be implemented the mixture of offal and tobacco stripped leaf.
Moisture regain in the inventive method and the step that gets damp again again can use known technology and equipment to carry out.Preferably, each moisture regain comprises with the step that gets damp again again the mixture that makes the burley tobaccos offal contact steam, water or water and steam.Such as, in-kind of known moisture regain processing, tobacco contacts with the reverse flow of steam and water during rolling in the column cylinder of rotation.Offal alternately can get damp again or get damp again in moist chamber.
After the moisture regain step was completed, reinforced agent was used suitable mode and is applied on burley tobaccos offal roll-in, moisture regain, for example comprises, sprays.Reinforced agent preferably comprises the aqueous solution of sugar.Though suitable NMF, glycerine for example, be added, but usually, sugar is the principal component of holding liquid.If needed, optional flavouring agent composition also can comprise in reinforced agent.Corresponding step also can be applied on the mixture of burley tobaccos offal and burley tobaccos tobacco stripped leaf.
Advantageously find, before reinforced agent applied, the roll-in of burley tobaccos had been found to improve significantly the absorption of offal to reinforced agent.By the offal roll-in is arrived 0.1mm to the thickness between 0.5mm, the epidermis of offal is pulverized, is damaged at least in part, thereby can obtain surface area larger, that be used for reinforced agent absorption.If there is no the roll-in step, the rigid structure of epidermis remains intact, is difficult to make reinforced agent infiltration epidermis to arrive the internal structure of offal.After they had stood processing method of the present invention, the absorption that reinforced agent improves had improved taste and the visual appearance of burley tobaccos offals.
During the heating steps of the inventive method, the burley tobaccos offal that has applied reinforced agent is heated, in order to induce reaction between some composition of reinforced agent and tobacco.This step is responsible for offal fragrance main development, and this fragrance is that the sugar in tobacco component and reinforced agent reacts and the result of generation.After reinforced (casing) and heating steps subsequently of offal, the fragrance of burley tobaccos offal is compared with the burley tobaccos offal that is untreated, and has been found significant improvement.Particularly, have been found that heating steps significantly improves mouthfeel characteristic and the pleasant impression of offal material.During this makes the burley tobaccos offal can be used in to cut filler, provide neutralization for main flume simultaneously or favorable influence.The combination of roll-in, processing burley tobaccos offal and reinforced agent makes the burley tobaccos offal be used as the constituent accepted that cuts filler.
During heating steps, the burley tobaccos offal preferably is heated to the temperature of at least 50 ℃.The heating of burley tobaccos offal can use the means of any suitable to implement.In preferred embodiments, offal utilizes the thermal air current heating in drying machine.The preferred temperature of thermal air current between 70 ℃ to 140 ℃, more preferably approximately 200 ℃, is brought up to the temperature of preferred at least 50 ℃ with the temperature with offal.Corresponding heating steps also can be carried out the mixture of burley tobaccos offal and burley tobaccos tobacco stripped leaf.
After the above-mentioned step that gets damp again again, roll-in burley tobaccos offal is cut suitable cutting width.This cutting width can the purposes required according to the burley tobaccos mixture be adjusted.Such as cutting filler that, preferably less, thinner cutting width is used for that smoking product is intended to use, especially thin cigarette, but not volume or tobacco pipe product certainly.Preferably, the Burley Stem of roll-in is cut into the cutting width between 0.3 to 1.3mm, more preferably between 0.65 to 0.9mm.Corresponding cutting step also can be carried out the mixture at burley tobaccos offal and burley tobaccos tobacco stripped leaf.
" cutting width " of burley tobaccos offal refers to along the offal width of the offal on cut direction.When examining under a microscope the burley tobaccos cabo particle, usually can be observed the direction of cabo particle by cutting equipment.This cutting width is corresponding to the spacing between the two sides along this cut direction burley tobaccos cabo particle.The cutting width of single burley tobaccos cabo particle can use traditional measurement mechanism accurately to measure at microscopically.The cutting width of single burley tobaccos cabo particle is chosen at formation the maximum cross-section area place along cut direction.The burley tobaccos offal, in the situation that cut on both direction, is used for the cutting width of the object of the invention corresponding to the maximum cutting width that measures on both direction.
In drying steps after cutting step, the roll-in burley tobaccos offal of cutting is dried in order to reduce moisture content level.Preferably, moisture content level is lowered between 10% to 15%o.v., more preferably between 12% to 14%o.v..This drying steps can at room temperature be implemented, but preferred burley tobaccos offal heats in the thermal air current of temperature between 70 ℃ to 200 ℃.The suitable equipment that is used for the roll-in burley tobaccos offal of dry cutting includes but not limited to rotary drier and flash column drying machine.Corresponding drying steps also can be carried out the mixture of burley tobaccos offal and burley tobaccos tobacco stripped leaf.
The method of the present invention that comprises above-mentioned steps can be carried out pre-roll-in offal, this pre-roll-in offal in roller process before by the off-line roll-in, the thickness to the 0.1mm that requires to 0.5mm.For example, roll-in can be carried out in independent tobacco leaf processing factory or stemmery, and the parent material that makes above-mentioned processing is the offal of pre-roll-in.
Yet embodiments more of the present invention are suitable for the part of roll-in step as the production technology that cuts filler merged, and make roll-in carry out in identical factory or production equipment with remaining treatment step-sample.The offal of roll-in can directly be introduced on the production line that cuts filler then.Such method further comprises extra step: make regaining moisture of cabo, to increase moisture content; And the offal roll-in is arrived thickness between 0.1 to 0.5mm.Parent material be burley tobaccos offal and this offal with situation that other parts of tobacco leaf are separated under, these extra steps can be carried out before above-mentioned treatment step.Yet method of the present invention can be further adapted in conjunction with beating the leaf step, and the parent material that makes treatment process is unprocessed burley tobaccos tobacco leaf.In this case, the method further comprises from tobacco leaf getting on except the additional step of offal; And offal is cut into average length between 15mm and 80mm, wherein these steps were carried out before the moisture regain of offal and roll-in, as mentioned above.
Offal can utilize traditional threshing process to process and remove from burley tobacco leaf.These offals in the threshing machine device or in independent step, are broken or cut, and to reduce the length of offal part, thereby optimize roll-in processing.
The moisture regain of offal is necessary before roll-in,, in order to increase moisture content, makes offal enough pliable and toughly in the situation that roll-in is not carried out in fracture and infringement.Before the moisture regain step, the burley tobaccos offal is common to be contained.The water rate is about 17% to 20% baking oven fugitive constituent (o.v.).The moisture regain step preferably is increased to moisture content 35%o.v. or still less, more preferably 30%o.v. or still less.In some cases, being low to moderate 25% to 28%o.v. moisture content is enough to prevent from rolling period, offal being caused damage.
The moisture regain of offal is preferably undertaken by the mixture that makes offal contact water, steam or water and steam.Preferably, the burley tobaccos offal is soaked a period of time, thereby allow the internal structure of moisture penetration to offal.
After the moisture regain step, the burley tobaccos offal uses a traditional step or the roll-in processing of two steps to carry out roll-in, with the thickness with offal, reduces between 0.1mm and 0.5mm.The thickness of roll-in offal reduces to the level close to burley tobaccos tobacco stripped leaf thickness.Preferably, the burley tobaccos offal is that 0.2mm is to 0.3mm by roll-in to thickness.
As mentioned above, the offal roll-in, to thickness between 0.1mm and 0.5mm, has destroyed the eucaryotic cell structure of offal material at least in part.Especially, the epidermis of offal material cell is pulverized in roll-in at least in part.When the offal of roll-in sees through fractographic the time, the cyto-architectural breaking-up of offal is high-visible.In addition, reinforced agent has been applied on the roll-in offal and has absorbed in eucaryotic cell structure high-visible, because the color blackening of burley tobaccos offal after heating.Thereby this has been in the situation that the burley tobaccos offal has used method of the present invention to process, from roll-in thickness with the burley tobaccos offal is applied reinforced agent two aspects all can obviously find out.
As mentioned above, the burley tobaccos offal of processing or the mixture of burley tobaccos offal and stripped leaf are intended to as the component that cuts filler.According to the present invention, also provide and made the method that cuts filler that comprises roll-in burley tobaccos offal, the method comprises: use the method according to this invention as above to process the burley tobaccos offal; And make the burley tobaccos offal after processing or process after the burley tobaccos offal and the mixture of burley tobaccos tobacco stripped leaf mix with tobacco stripped leaf, expanding tobacco or the reconstituted tobacco of at least-kind of other types, cut filler with formation.The tobacco stripped leaf of other types can be, such as, spices tobacco stripped leaf, baking tobacco stripped leaf or its combination.Expand and reconstituted tobacco, in the situation of existence, can be formed by the tobacco type of using known equipment and method by any suitable.
Mixing of the tobacco-containing material of burley tobaccos offal and other types can occur before cutting and drying steps, make final mixture cutting and drying together in same batch.Alternately, mixing can the burley tobaccos offal is cut and dry after carry out, make that to mix be the final step of production of cutting filler.
Preferably, cut filler and comprise the burley tobaccos tobacco composition of 20% to 37% weight, wherein this mixture is by at least 6% quality, and up to the treated burley tobaccos offal of 100% quality, forms, and the remainder of mixture is formed by burley tobaccos tobacco stripped leaf.Cut filler thus comprise use according to the inventive method produce at the about treated burley tobaccos offal between 0.3% and 37% weight.
