Abstract:
Polysaccharides from different algae species (Laminaria japonica, Porphyra, Sargassum fusiform, Eucheuma) were obtained by citric acid extraction. The best algae specie was determined by analysis of the extraction yield of polysaccharides and cigarette quality. The results showed that polysaccharides from Laminaria japonica could obviously improve the cigarette quality, especially sample Ⅰ and Ⅳ. By the sensory evaluation of the cigarette, the best dosage of polysaccharides was determined as 0.1%. Moreover, sample Ⅰand Ⅳ had some promotion effect on the smoothness, irritation and finish of smoking, but showed little effect on miscellaneous gases.
