The present invention relates to a leaf tobacco additive, and in particular, in the process of making tobacco leaf tobacco, harmful ingredients such as tar and nicotine are reduced, and hydrogen ion concentration (PH) is adjusted to 3-7 through the addition of acid. To soften the tobacco taste, reducing the harmful components during smoking to induce the generation of vitamins due to the acid atmosphere of nicotine, and relates to a leaf tobacco additive that vitamins are generated.

Generally, the smoke generated from smoking is classified into two categories, mainstream smoke inhalation and sidestream smoke inhalation. Mainstream tobacco smoke refers to the smoke that smokes directly inhaled by the smoker and then is discharged out of the cigarette after it is filtered through the smoker's lungs. Non-mainstream tobacco smoke refers to the smoke that is spread directly into the air as the cigarette itself is burning. .

Non-mainstream tobacco smoke is diluted in indoor air when smoking indoors, so the concentration is relatively low, but the components in the smoke are much more harmful to the human body than mainstream tobacco smoke. The harmful gas components that are increased indoors due to smoking are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia, methane and acetylene, and the particulate components include tar, nicotine, moisture, toluene and aniline. Increasing amounts of harmful gases or particulates in the body will increase.

Nicotine is present in the smoker's body in the form of salts of particulates, free base of particulates, and free base of vapors. Tobacco smoke contains 4.000 ~ 7,000 kinds of chemical toxic substances and carcinogens that are harmful to the human body. Among them, the most harmful substances are tar, carbon monoxide (CO), and nicotine. When smoking a cigarette, The amount of tar inhaled is usually less than 10 mg, the amount of nicotine absorbed in the amount may be more than 1 mg, depending on the pattern of smoking may exceed 3 mg, 40 mg is lethal dose.

During smoking, nicotine quickly flows into the arterial bloodstream and is transported through the heart to the brain. It takes only 4 to 5 seconds to smoke and cause nicotine to be inhaled by tobacco smoke and cause pharmacological effects on the brain. Complete discharge takes about three days.

Nicotine is a substance that causes addictive addiction. It is a chemical compound that has a unique and complex pharmacological action that causes various diseases in the human body such as lung cancer, heart disease, chronic lung disease, gastric duodenal ulcer, circulatory and respiratory diseases through smoking. It causes almost the same addictive addiction, and once you start smoking, you have to smoke every 30 to 40 minutes because of nicotine in the cigarette.

Nicotine is an alkaloid in the tobacco family nicotiana tahacum, an oily, pale-yellow liquid with a pyridine-like smell. The molecular formula is CHN, boiling point is 247 ℃, and specific gravity is 1.0097. At room temperature it is quite volatile and readily oxidizes to brown when in contact with light or air.

The aqueous solution exhibits weak alkalinity and dissolves unlimitedly in water below 60 ° C and above 210 ° C. The leaf tobacco contains 1 to 7% by weight of nicotine. Pure nicotine is colorless and odorless, soluble in water, alcohol and ether.

By increasing the pH of the leaf tobacco medium, nicotine increases the physical effect of nicotine by increasing the free base in the form of acid salts, and free base can pass through the cell membrane faster. Sales of tobacco, which produces a cigarette smoke pH of 6.5-7.0, increased the most, and nicotine in the smoke of alkaline cigars was absorbed into the lungs and mouth more quickly.

Scientists representing tobacco companies are well aware of the effect of pH on the rate and nicotine absorption of nicotine. Non-bound nicotine is much more active in the human body than bound nicotine, and the action time on the human body is much faster, and the higher the pH of the smoke, the stronger the nicotine.

Increasing the pH of tobacco increases the amount of nicotine actually absorbed by the human body by increasing the amount of leaf tobacco in the product, reducing the amount of sugar used in leaf tobacco, or mixtures, and ammonia compounds. ), The use of a special filter device to remove acid from the mixture during mixing, to remove alkalis or acids from the smoke, and a filter device with good air dilution.

Tobacco companies are using ammonia mixtures through sophisticated pH control to increase sales of tobacco that contains toxic toxins.

 The present invention has been made to solve the conventional problems as described above, the object of the present invention is added during the humidification process or flavoring process to reduce harmful substances such as tar and nicotine of tobacco during smoking, Adjusts the hydrogen ion concentration (PH) according to the addition, softens the taste, reduces the harmful components during smoking that can induce the generation of vitamins in the acid atmosphere of nicotine, and provides a tobacco leaf additive that vitamins are generated There is.

The present invention is 100% by weight, 100% by weight of coconut fat acid: 60-80%, soybean cooking oil: 10-30%, olive oil: 5-20% by adding each to 100% weight ratio, and then 100% of all additives. Secondary stirring and dissolving by adding 20-40% of the emulsifier to the weight ratio, molasses: 5-20% to 100% of the added weight ratio during stirring, and lactic acid 20- to 100% of all added weight ratio It is characterized in that the leaf tobacco additive made by adding 40%.

In the present invention, the glycerin: 5-20%, glycine: 5-20%, molasses: 5-20%, lactic acid: 30-50%, yeast: 10-20%, enzyme: 10-25% It is characterized in that the leaf tobacco additive made by adding 2.5 times distilled water to 100% of the combined weight ratio by stirring and dissolving.

It is characterized in that the ash of the leaf tobacco carbonized by adding the leaf tobacco additives and the pH of the tar is 2-3.

Pyrolysis during tobacco smoking with the tobacco leaf additive added produces right-rotating L-tartaric acid, left-rotating D-tartaric acid, DL-tartaric acid, and mesotartaric acid, which are optically inactive.

The nicotine is converted into nicotinic acid by heat generated when smoking the tobacco to which the leaf tobacco additive is added.

Experiments of Examples 1 and 2 of the present invention used the smoking device shown in Figure 3, smoke analysis experiments should use an automatic smoking machine (automatic smoking machine), in this experiment, all smoking conditions and smoking profiles are automatically Attention was paid to minimizing the error by setting the same smoking conditions (smoking amount: 35 ml / 2 seconds, smoking cycle: 60 seconds, butt length: filter length +8 mm, etc.).

Sample tobacco by the additive burned five cigarettes (1) injected with the additive and collected in one Cambridge filter (6) connected to the syringe pump (7), each of them as an analytical sample. All sample Cambridge filters 6 were extracted with high purity methanol and used as HPLC (Model Varian 230, Varian (USA) analytical sample).

In addition, in the case of domestic 88 light cigarettes, an additive was injected into the cigarette assuming that 0.90 mg of nicotine per one was used. At this time, care was taken to spread the additive evenly throughout the cigarette, and the additive was Dichloromethane (bp: 40 ° C). Was dissolved in and injected into the cigarette.

Figure 4 is a view showing the chemical structural formula of nicotine in the tobacco smoke during smoking by the additive impregnated with the leaf tobacco of the present invention, as shown in Figure 4 nicotine is changed to nicotinic acid, that is, niacin (about 85 % Or more),

Figure 5 is a graph showing the substances in the tobacco smoke of the existing tobacco before adding the additive of the present invention, it can be seen that the number of various harmful substances is very high, among these graphs Figure 6 is a nicotine in the graph of Figure 5 As a graph showing the components, the components indicated by the arrows on the x-axis indicate the amount of pure nicotine, and FIG. 7 shows various harmful substances such as tar and nicotine in smoke such as tar and nicotine in tobacco by adding the additive of the present invention. It was confirmed that the incidence of about 70% ~ 80% was reduced.

Although the numerical values shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 are large in setting of letters representing the numbers of computers, they are difficult to read, but the degree of generation of harmful substances on the graph can be grasped.

 As described above, the harmful substances generated in cigarettes can be found to be significantly reduced by comparing the harmful components of tobacco treated with the additives of the present invention with those of untreated tobacco. The results of the quantitative analysis of nicotine acid nicotine acid due to the additive of the present invention and tartaric acid produced by pyrolysis during smoking will be described.

In order to measure the amount of change to nicotine nicotine acid in detail, the sample used the same domestic dis tobacco to ensure the uniformity of the experiment, VO1 is using the additive of Example 1 , VO2 is the injection of the additive of Example 2 into the cigarette, and the injected amount is injected in the same way as the injection ratio of the additive in Table 1, and the sampling and analysis of the sample are performed twice or more to obtain an average value. , The same conditions as described above were carried out under the conditions of the experiment.

In Table 1, when 2 mg of VO1 was added, each Cambridge filter (6) was extracted with 80 ml of MeOH, and 8.82 ppm of Nicotinic Acid was sampled for 5 cigarettes in 80 ml of extraction solvent. Since the produced nicotinic acid is 0.7056mg-0.4756mg (Blank average value) = 0.23mg (5 ratios), it can be calculated that 0.046mg of Nicotinic Acid is produced per one ratio. Therefore, it can produce 35% to 65% more vitamins than nicotinic acid produced in cigarettes without additives, and can convert about 5 ~ 8% per nutrient to nicotine that is harmful to the body.
