Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarettes, and particularly relates to a plant brittle capsule for cigarettes and a preparation method thereof.

Background

The soft capsule is also called soft capsule pill, the shape of which is round, oval, fish-shaped, tube-shaped and the like, is a capsule prepared by processing and sealing liquid medicine or liquid fruit medicine in a soft capsule material, and is widely applied to the industries of health care products and medicines. The capsule shell of the soft capsule can effectively isolate the contents from the external environment, thereby playing a role in protection. And at the same time, controlling the release of the content, so that the content is slowly or immediately released under proper conditions.

In recent years, one of the main research directions of domestic and foreign tobacco science and technology workers is to develop cigarette products with low tar, low harm, high quality and high fragrance, and how to maintain or improve the fragrance while reducing the harm of the cigarette products is an important subject faced by researchers at present. At present, the optimization is mainly performed at home and abroad on aspects of cigarette rolling materials, cigarette packaging materials, cigarette filtering materials and the like, but the methods have some defects due to technical limitations, such as short quality guarantee period, uneven essence release and the like of filter sticks by a flavor line method. But the defects of flavoring related to cigarette rolling materials and packaging materials are mainly reflected in the aspects that essence is more easily volatilized, the influence of the smoking environment is large, and the like.

The brittle capsule for tobacco is prepared by pressing or dripping a certain amount of tobacco essence into a soft capsule. The brittle capsule for cigarettes is added into a cigarette filter stick, so that the cigarettes can release fragrance in a smoking state or in a pinching state, and the aim of increasing the fragrance is fulfilled. At present, the cigarette brittle capsules mainly use gelatin as a main raw material, but because the main component of the gelatin is protein, the protein is deteriorated at high temperature in the heating process to generate peculiar smell, the flavor of smokers is influenced, and the use quality of the cigarette brittle capsules is reduced.
