Loess containing cigarette and method for producing the same

Abstract

Disclosed is a loess containing cigarette comprised of a tobacco part and a filter that contain respectively sintered loess powder and sintered granular loess particles, in which tobacco fragrance has been absorbed. The loess containing cigarette can reduce inspiration amount of harmful materials through absorbing and filtering the harmful materials by means of the porous structure of loess, and is highly liked by smokers because tobacco fragrance component is emitted slowly. It is also good for promoting health because of the emission of far infrared rays and efficacious component of the herb material. According to the method for producing loess containing cigarette, as it is simple to add tobacco fragrance and loss of fragrance component can be reduced, the method for producing loess containing cigarette is useful in economic aspect.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A loess containing cigarette comprised of a tobacco part and a filter, wherein sintered loess powder and sintered granular loess particles are respectively contained in the tobacco part and the filter, and tobacco fragrance being absorbed in the sintered loess powder and sintered loess particles.  
     
     
         2 . The loess containing cigarette according to  claim 1 , wherein the sintered loess powder and the sintered granular loess particles are added in the amounts of 1 to 50 weight % based on the total weight composed of the tobacco part and the filter.  
     
     
         3 . The loess containing cigarette according to  claim 1 , wherein the tobacco fragrance comprises one or at least two materials selected from the group consisting of chocolate fragrance, vanilla fragrance, menthol fragrance, cherry fragrance, lemon fragrance, and herb material extract.  
     
     
         4 . The loess containing cigarette according to  claim 3 , wherein the herb material extract comprises one or at least two materials selected from the group consisting of clove buds, elecampane, frankincense, aloeswood, fennel, coco grass, aristolochia contorta bunge, betony, camphor fragrance, peppermint, red sandalwood, benzoin, musk, etc., and cinnamon, dried ginger, root of angelicadahurica, ledebourieella, asiasari radix, core of cinnamon, angelica tenuissima, aralia continentalis, chinese ground orchid, realgar, atractyodis rhizoma, myrrh, zanthoxyli pericarpium, garlic, yellow beeswax, sulfur, ginseng.  
     
     
         5 . A method for producing a loess containing cigarette, comprising the steps of: 
 (a) sintering loess powder after mixing and kneading the loess powder with water,    (b) obtaining the loess powder through pulverizing the sintered loess products,    (c) making loess containing cut tobacco through absorbing tobacco fragrance in the sintered loess powder and adding the sintered powder to the cut tobacco,    (d) granulating the sintered loess products obtained at step (a),    (e) making loess containing filter through absorbing tobacco fragrance in the granular sintered loess particles or porous materials and inserting them into the cigarette filter,    (f) combining the loess containing cut tobacco obtained at step (c) with loess containing filter obtained at step (e).    
     
     
         6 . The method for producing a loess containing cigarette according to  claim 5 , wherein the sintering step (a) is performed at temperature of 1000 to 1300° C.  
     
     
         7 . The method for producing a loess containing cigarette according to  claim 5 , wherein the sintered loess powder produced at step (b) have particle size of 0.5 to 5 μm.  
     
     
         8 . The method for producing a loess containing cigarette according to  claim 5 , wherein the tobacco fragrance has been absorbed to sintered loess powder or sintered loess particles at steps (c) and (e) by means of heating and vaporizing the tobacco fragrance component, or by means of mixing and kneading the tobacco fragrance component with the sintered loess products or porous materials, and followed drying and crushing of the resultant products.  
     
     
         9 . The method for producing a loess containing cigarette according to  claim 5 , wherein the particle size of the sintered granular loess particles is in the range of 200 to 500 μm.  
     
     
         10 . The method for producing a loess containing cigarette according to  claim 5 , wherein the porous materials of step (e) comprises activated carbon or zeolite or at least two materials selected from the group consisting of sintered loess particles, activated carbon, and zeolite.
