Description

The utility model relates to the field of the tobacco industry and may find application in the production of flavoring filters for cigarettes.

A known filter for a cigarette, in which Polysorb is a means for changing the composition of the components of tobacco smoke [1] formed as a result of smoking a tobacco product. "MP" placed in a porous medium of the specified filter. Essentially, Polysorb "MP" is a very pure (not less than 99.95% of the basic substance) highly dispersed pyrogen-free silica with the chemical gross formula SiO ₂ . Moreover, the average particle size of Polysorb "MP" is 5-10 nm, and its specific surface area is at least 300 m ² / g. The unique ability of silica, which forms the filtering composition of a smoking article, is that 1 gram of Polysorb “MP” structures from 15 to 20 grams of water. However, in addition to nicotine, various toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic components, this composition effectively absorbs polyaromatic hydrocarbons from tobacco smoke, which are responsible for the formation of taste impressions in smokers. In this case, there is a significant increase in the flavoring effect of the products of the pyrolysis (thermoturning) of the cigarette shell, which causes the smoker organoleptically to sense the taste of “burnt paper” even when using high-quality varieties of tobacco.

The closest in technical essence and the achieved result analogue, adopted as a prototype [2], is a flavoring composition for a tobacco smoke filter, which is an aqueous solution of sorbitol. Sorbitol is called a six-atom organic alcohol, which acquires some properties of an absorbing agent in an aqueous solution. Thus, when tobacco smoke passes through a cigarette filter equipped with a composition of an aqueous solution of sorbitol, an intensive “wet” process occurs

filtering tobacco smoke in the form of absorbing part of its components on a moistened porous element of a cigarette filter.

The disadvantage of the prototype is that, along with other (toxic, mutagenic and concertogenic) components of tobacco smoke, aromatic hydrocarbons responsible for the taste and aroma of the smoked cigarette are also absorbed, while an aqueous solution of sorbitol injects instead of the absorbed components into a stream of already purified tobacco smoke a pair of hexatomic organic alcohol, organoleptically (taste and aroma) perceived by the smoker as an “industrial-synthetic” taste.

The claimed utility model is based on the task of maintaining the organoleptic attractiveness of tobacco smoking with the effective extraction (filtration) of its toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic components from the stream of tobacco smoke.

The technical result expected from the application of the claimed utility model is the deodification of a filtered stream of tobacco smoke with flavoring and aromatic (hereinafter “flavoring”) ingredients that are not synthesized at high (over 600 C) temperatures.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that in the filter of a cigarette with a flavor containing a shell, a porous filter element and means for changing the composition of tobacco smoke, placed under the shell in a porous filter element, the means for changing the composition of tobacco smoke is made in the form of a capsule with a fragrant substance, while as a fragrance, natural and / or identical flavoring substances are used in the following ratio of components, wt.%

Natural and / or identical natural flavors 3-78

Water 22-97

It is preferable that in the filter cigarettes with flavoring, as identical to natural flavoring substances were

used substances synthesized based on alk-4Z-en-1-ol of the General formula:

where R = _H- C ₆ H ₁₃ , HC ₈ H ₁₇ , HC ₉ H ₁₉

A comparative analysis of the prototype and the proposed technical solution made it possible to establish that the claimed utility model differs from the prototype in the implementation of means for changing the composition of tobacco smoke, which consists in using capsules with a fragrant substance in the quality mentioned, while natural and / or identical to natural flavoring substances at their water concentration in the range of values from 3-78 wt.% instead of sorbitol.

This circumstance gives reason to believe the applicant that the proposed industrial property meets the criterion of the utility model of "novelty."

EXAMPLE 1

Porous filters of cigarettes of the well-known brand "Java" (experimental batch of 100 pcs.) Were impregnated with an atomizer of fine spraying (with continuous weight control) with an aqueous solution of an aromatic substance, which was used as an extract of rose hips at a concentration of 3 wt. water. Upon reaching the weight gain of a cigarette with an impregnated filter of 40 mg (i.e., an increase in the mass of the impregnated filter by 25% as in the prototype), the atomizer stopped working. In a similar manner, a reference batch was formed using an aqueous solution of sorbitol. Next, the shells of all impregnated cigarette filters were dried for 1.5-2.0 minutes in a stream of warm air, the speed of which was about 2 m / s at a temperature of 25 ° C. Then, 90 cigarettes from the experimental and reference lots were smoked on a Borgvard automatic smoking apparatus under standard conditions according to ISO 4387, namely: duration

the puff was 2 s, the puff volume was 35 ml, the interval between puffs was 58 s.

After smoking the mentioned number of cigarettes with porous filters modified as a result of impregnation with an aqueous solution of an aromatic substance, spectrophotometric studies of the filtrate formed in the porous body were carried out. When conducting spectrophotometric studies of the detected filtrate using the K. Fisher method, it was found that the weight of the trapped components of tobacco smoke in both batches was practically the same (the differences were about 8.2% in favor of a larger weight of the experimental batch). Then, 10 tasters-smokers with at least 5 years of experience smoked alternately 2 cigarettes with impregnated filters from the experimental and reference batches, the first 5 tasters starting smoking with a cigarette of the experimental batch and ending the smoking with a cigarette of the reference batch, and the remaining 5 tasters - vice versa. On a 100-point rating scale (100 points - the maximum possible positive organoleptic result), the average result of the study has the following significance: cigarettes of an experimental batch with an impregnated aqueous solution of an aromatic substance were rated 85 points, and cigarettes of a reference batch - 22 points, which clearly indicates successful achievement of the claimed technical result in terms of effective oderation of the purified stream of tobacco smoke with flavoring ingredients in the form of an extract of rose hips, posk lku organoleptic evaluation of experimental smoking cigarettes party is almost 4 times higher than the corresponding organoleptic evaluation standard smoking of cigarettes with a porous filter impregnated with an aqueous solution of sorbitol.

EXAMPLE 2

Porous filters of cigarettes of the well-known brand "Java" (experimental batch of 100 pcs.) Were impregnated with an atomizer of fine spraying (with continuous weight control) with an aqueous solution of an aromatic substance, which was used as

juniper extract (pine cone) at a concentration of 50 wt.% in water. Upon reaching the weight gain of a cigarette with an impregnated filter of 40 mg (i.e., an increase in the mass of the impregnated filter by 25% as in the prototype), the atomizer stopped working. In a similar manner, a reference batch was formed using an aqueous solution of sorbitol. Further, all impregnated porous cigarette filters were dried for 1.5-2.0 minutes in a stream of warm air, the speed of which was about 2 m / s at a temperature of 25 ° C. Then, 90 cigarettes from the experimental and reference lots were smoked on a Borgvard automatic smoking apparatus under standard conditions according to ISO 4387: puff duration - 2 s, puff volume - 35 ml, puff interval - 58 s.

After smoking the mentioned number of cigarettes with porous filters modified as a result of impregnation with an aqueous solution of an aromatic substance, spectrophotometric studies of the filtrate formed in the porous core were carried out. When conducting spectrophotometric studies of the identified filtrate using the K. Fisher method, it was found that the weight of the trapped components of tobacco smoke in both batches is practically the same (the differences were about 9% in terms of the larger weight of the experimental batch filtrate).

Then, 10 tasters-smokers with at least 5 years of experience smoked alternately 2 cigarettes with impregnated filters from the experimental and reference batches, the first 5 tasters starting smoking with a cigarette of the experimental batch and ending the smoking with a cigarette of the reference batch, and the remaining 5 tasters - vice versa. On a 100-point rating scale (100 points is the maximum possible positive organoleptic result), the average result of the study has the following significance: cigarettes of an experimental batch with an impregnated aqueous solution of an aromatic substance were rated at 64 points, and cigarettes of a reference batch - at 21 points, which definitely indicates successful achievement of the claimed technical result in terms of effective oderation of the purified stream of tobacco smoke with flavoring ingredients

in the form of juniper extract (cone-berry), since the organoleptic rating of smoking cigarettes from an experimental batch is more than 3 times higher than the corresponding organoleptic rating of smoking a standard lot of cigarettes with a porous filter impregnated with an aqueous solution of sorbitol.

EXAMPLE 3

Porous filters of cigarettes of the well-known Java brand (experimental batch of 100 pcs.) Were impregnated with an atomizer of fine spraying (under continuous weight control) with an aqueous solution of a fragrant substance, which was used as an extract of thyme (leaves and flowers) at a concentration of 78 wt.% in water. Upon reaching the weight gain of a cigarette with an impregnated filter of 40 mg (i.e., an increase in the mass of the impregnated filter by 25% as in the prototype), the atomizer stopped working. In a similar manner, a reference batch was formed using an aqueous solution of sorbitol. Further, all impregnated porous cigarette filters were dried for 1.5-2.0 minutes in a stream of warm air, the speed of which was about 2 m / s at a temperature of 25 C. Then, 90 cigarettes from the experimental and reference lots were smoked on an automatic smoking device " Borgvard ”under standard conditions according to ISO 4387, namely: the duration of the puff was 2 s, the puff volume was 35 ml, the interval between puffs was 58 s.

After smoking the mentioned number of cigarettes with porous filters modified as a result of impregnation with an aqueous solution of an aromatic substance, spectrophotometric studies of the filtrate formed in the porous core were carried out. When conducting spectrophotometric studies of the identified filtrate using the K. Fisher method, it was found that the weight of the trapped components of tobacco smoke in both batches is practically the same (the differences were about 6.5% in terms of the larger weight of the experimental batch filtrate).

Then 10 tasters-smokers with experience of at least 5 years alternately smoked 2 cigarettes with impregnated filters from

experimental and reference batches, with the first 5 tasters starting smoking with a cigarette of the experimental batch, and ending the smoking with a cigarette of the reference batch, and the remaining 5 tasters - vice versa. On a 100-point rating scale (100 points is the maximum possible positive organoleptic result), the average result of the study has the following significance: cigarettes of an experimental batch with an impregnated aqueous solution of an aromatic substance were rated at 96 points, and cigarettes of a reference batch - at 17 points, which confidently indicates successful achievement of the claimed technical result in terms of effective oderation of the purified stream of tobacco smoke with flavoring ingredients in the form of thyme extract (leaves and flowers), Since the organoleptic estimate of smoking cigarettes from an experimental batch is almost 6 times higher than the corresponding organoleptic estimate of smoking a reference batch of cigarettes with a porous filter impregnated with an aqueous solution of sorbitol.
