仙人掌多糖的提取及其在卷烟中的应用

Extraction of Cactus Polysaccharide and its Application in Cigarette

提取了仙人掌多糖,将其应用于卷烟,并考察仙人掌多糖对烟丝保润性能、烟叶表面润湿性以及感官舒适度的影响。结果显示,热水浸提法提取的仙人掌多糖添加在卷烟中后整体评吸效果较好,更适用于卷烟生产;仙人掌多糖具有较好的保润效果,能够在低湿条件下降低烟丝的失水率,减缓水分的散失,高湿条件下与丙二醇的吸湿性能较为接近;仙人掌多糖水溶液在烟叶表面的接触角较小,对烟叶表面的润湿性较好,更易浸湿烟丝;仙人掌多糖具有增加香气量,提高烟气细腻度,增强回甜感,减轻杂气等作用。

Polysaccharide was extracted from cactus by an optimized method and added to cigarette. The effects of cactus polysaccharide on the moisture retentivity of cut tobacco, wetting of tobacco leaf surface and the sensory pleasurableness of cigarette smoke were investigated. The results showed that the polysaccharide extracted with hot water offered better cigarette sensory quality and were more suitable to cigarette manufacturing. The results of moisture retentivity test indicated that cactus polysaccharide could reduce moisture desorption of cut tobacco in low humidity condition, and the moisture absorption of that in high humidity was close to propylene glycol addition. The contact angle between cactus polysaccharide solution and tobacco surface was smaller than that between distilled water and tobacco surface, which meant that cactus polysaccharide solution could wet tobacco surface more easily. The results of sensory evaluation showed that cactus polysaccharide could increase the aroma quantity, improve the smoothness and sweetness, and decrease offensive odor of cigarette smoke.
