Study on the Preparation of Water-storage Capsules and its Effect on the Quality of Cigarettes

Abstract

The contents of existing cigarette capsules are basically the storage of ester soluble flavors and fragrances. In this paper, several new kinds of water-storage cigarette capsules were prepared. The influence of the new water-storage cigarette capsules before and after break on the quality of cigarette smoke has been comparably studied with usual samples without capsules. The experimental results show that the moisture content of the smoke increases significantly after water-storage cigarette capsules are pinched, the closer the placement position is to the suction end, the longer the moisture continues. Once the position of capsules in the filter rods is settled, moisture content of the smoke is related to capsule size and moisture keeping. The larger the size of the cigarette capsules is, the higher the moisture content of the smoke is. In the case of total particle content, samples with capsules after pinching is higher than that before pinching, and the content of tar of samples with capsules after pinching is lower than that before pinching, and there was no significant difference in the indexes of CO and suction times. Water-storage capsules are an effective way to reduce harmful smoke and tar, and that to improve the sensory quality of smoking. Water-storage capsules will have broad development and application prospects in the future.
