[0063] Result Detection

[0064] (1) Sensory Evaluation of Sucking

[0065] The above-mentioned slow-release fragrances and the base materials of the tobacco cigarette with Chinese-style flavor were prepared into the heat-not-burn cigarettes, including 12 embodiments and 3 comparative examples, and then sensory evaluation of sucking was carried out. The evaluation criteria were as follows: a ten-score system was employed. For the aroma, 1 to 3 scores indicated insufficient aroma, 4 to 6 scores indicated moderate aroma, 7 to 8 scores indicated relatively sufficient aroma, and 9 to 10 scores indicated extremely sufficient characteristic aroma. For the smoke amount: 1 to 3 scores indicated small smoke amount, 4 to 6 scores indicated moderate smoke amount, 7 to 8 scores indicated relatively sufficient smoke amount, and 9 to 10 scores indicated extremely sufficient smoke amount. For the miscellaneous gas, 1 to 3 scores indicated obvious miscellaneous gas, 4 to 6 scores indicated relatively obvious miscellaneous gas, 7 to 8 scores indicated slight miscellaneous gas, and 9 to 10 scores indicated no miscellaneous gas. The comprehensive evaluation referred to the overall evaluation on the aroma, the smoke amount, the smoke temperature, and the miscellaneous gas and release consistency, 1 to 3 scores indicated poor comprehensive performances, 4 to 6 scores indicated general comprehensive performances, 7 to 8 scores indicated relatively good comprehensive performances, and 9 to 10 scores indicated good comprehensive performances.

[0066] Evaluation results were as shown in Table 1.

TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Smoke Miscellaneous Comprehensive Serial number Aroma amount gas evaluation Embodiment 1 8 9 8 8 Embodiment 2 8 9 8 8 Embodiment 3 9 8 8 8 Embodiment 4 8 9 9 9 Embodiment 5 9 9 9 9 Embodiment 6 8 8 9 8 Embodiment 7 8 9 8 8 Embodiment 8 9 9 9 9 Embodiment 9 9 9 9 9 Embodiment 10 9 8 8 8 Embodiment 11 9 9 8 9 Embodiment 12 9 9 9 9 Comparative 5 7 6 6 Example 1 Comparative 5 6 7 6 Example 2 Comparative 6 6 7 6 Example 3

[0067] It should be noted that, for the above tests, heaters of the same type were employed, and structure, heating elements, temperature control and overall structure are all the same.

[0068] It can be seen from the data in the above table that the aroma score of the tangerine peel slow-release fragrance of the present invention can reach up to 9, and the score of the smoke amount can also reach up to 9, the content of the miscellaneous gas is low, and the comprehensive scores of various smoking senses also reach 8 or more, while the scores in the comparative examples are all around 7 to 6. Obviously, the overall content of the aroma substances, and the coordination of the aroma and the miscellaneous gas in the sucking process, and the irritation reduction effects of the comparative examples are not as good as those achieved by the present invention.

[0069] (2) Stability and Durability Detection

[0070] Content of the slow-release fragrance in the cigarette smoke was tested for the heat-not-burn cigarettes prepared by the above 11 embodiments and 3 comparative examples. Heaters of the same type were employed, and structure, heating elements, temperature control and overall structure are all the same. A linear smoking machine was adopted as the smoking machine, and smoking parameters were as follows: a sucking capacity of 35 ml, a sucking duration of 2 seconds, and a sucking interval of 30 seconds. The smoking machine was used with the cooperation of the heater, wherein each cigarette was smoked at seven gulps, and the content of the slow-release fragrance in mainstream smoke was tested, and four cigarettes were smoked continuously to take a mean value. In order to detect the stable and lasting release of related aroma ingredients, the aroma retention rates of the cigarettes in the first month, second month, third month, fourth month, fifth month and sixth month were measured respectively. The aroma content of the cigarettes sucked for the first time was 100%.

[0071] Detection results were as shown in Table 2.

[0072] It can be seen from the data in Table 2 above that the slow-release fragrance of the present invention can achieve a lasting and uniform slow-release effect when being added to the cigarette product, and the aroma can still achieve stable and slow-release within 6 months, with a retention rate of about 80%, which is obviously superior to the aroma retention rates of the comparative examples.

[0073] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, but are not intended to limit the implementations of the present invention. For those of ordinary skills in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made on the basis of the above description.
