FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention relates to the field of flavour for smoking in hookah and a process for preparing the same.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
A hookah is a single or multi-stemmed instrument for vaporizing and smoking flavoured tobacco in which the vapor or smoke is passed through a water basin before inhalation. This water basin is often glass based. Depending on the placement of the coal above the tobacco, a hookah can be used to produce smoke by burning the tobacco or used to create water vapor by melting it at a lower temperature. When a water pipe is used to produce smoke it is usually referred to as hookah which means "Shisha" in Arabic.
US Patent 4156431 describes smoke processing in which an unsulfonated cross-linked polystyrene, silicic acid and a binder comprise a tobacco smoke filter for removing essentially all nitrosamines and secondary a mines from the tobacco smoke passing through the tobacco filter attached to the normally unlighted end of the cigarette.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
The nature of the invention and the manner in which it is performed is clearly described in the specification. The invention has various components and they are clearly described in the detailed description.
Hookah smoking in India is common since ages. During the Mughal era in India, hookah smoking was considered a royal symbol and was enjoyed only by the emperors and the rich. But in the past couple of decades hookah smoking has become a style statement for the younger generation. This has led to the cropping up of hookah bars throughout India which have become favourite hangouts among teenagers and college goers. So after remaining submissive for centuries, hookah smoking has again risen. People now have started smoking flavoured hookah as per their choices as the suppliers have provided them with a variety of flavours.
The present invention is a process for preparing flavour for smoking in hookah which includes a combination of rose petals and dates along with essence and various other ingredients to provide a unique flavour to the hookah. The ingredients of the
present invention include dried rose petals, sorbitol, glucose, glycerine, heavy paraffin, fructose powder, preservative, essence and dates.
Dried rose petals serve many purposes. They provide an intoxicating fragrance to potpourri and satin sachets, add color to indoor decorations and create romantic confetti for weddings. Some of the most popular uses for dried rose petals are crafts, gifts, home decor and special events. Dried petals from organically-grown roses are used to flavor oils and vinegars or are added to salads and other recipes.
Sorbitol, also known as glucitol, is a sugar alcohol, which the human body metabolizes slowly. It can be obtained by reduction of glucose, changing the aldehyde group to a hydroxyl group. Most sorbitol is made from corn syrup, but it is also found in apples, pears, peaches, and prunes.
Glucose, also known as D-glucose, dextrose, or grape sugar is a simple monosaccharide found in plants. It is one of the three dietary monosaccharides, along with fructose and galactose, that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream during digestion. An important carbohydrate in biology, cells use it as the primary source of energyand a metabolic intermediate. Glucose is one of the main products of photosynthesis and fuels for cellular respiration.
Glycerine (or glycerol) is a simple polyol (sugar alcohol) compound. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations. Glycerol has three hydroxyl groups that are responsible for its solubility in water and its hygroscopic nature. The glycerol backbone is central to all lipids known as triglycerides. Glycerol is sweet-tasting and of low toxicity.
Heavy paraffin is a mineral oil which is very dense and heavy in weight. It has a number of medicinal and cosmetic uses along with its use in the food industry. It is also used as fuels.
Fructose, or fruit sugar, is a simple monosaccharide found in many plants, where it is often linked to glucose forming sucrose. It is one of the three dietary monosaccharides, along with glucose and galactose, that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream during digestion. Pure, dry fructose is a very sweet, white, odorless, crystalline solid and is the most water-soluble of all the sugars. From plant sources, fructose is found in honey, tree and vine fruits, flowers, berries, and most root vegetables. In plants, fructose may be present as the monosaccharide or as a molecular component of sucrose, which is a disaccharide.
A preservative is a naturally occurring or synthetically produced substance that is added to products such as foods, pharmaceuticals, paints, biological samples, wood, etc. to prevent decomposition by microbial growth or by undesirable chemical
changes. Preservatives can be divided into two types, depending on their origin. Class I preservatives refers to those preservatives which are naturally occuring, everyday substances. Examples include salt, honey and wood smoke.Class II preservatives refer to preservatives which are synthetically manufactured.
Flavororflavour is the sensory impression of a food or other substance, and is determined mainly by the chemical senses of taste and smell. The "trigeminal senses", which detect chemical irritants in the mouth and throat as well as temperature and texture, are also very important to the overall Gestalt of flavor perception. The flavor of the food, as such, can be altered with natural or artificial flavorants, which affect these senses.
Dates also known as Phoenix dactylifera is a palm in the genus Phoenix, cultivated for its edible sweet fruit. Although its place of origin is unknown because of long cultivation, it probably originated from lands around Iraq. Dry or soft dates are eaten out-of-hand, or may be pitted and stuffed with fillings such as almonds, walnuts, candied orange and lemonpeel, tahini, marzipan or cream cheese. Dates can also be chopped and used in a range of sweet and savory dishes and dessert items. Date nut bread, a type of cake, is very popular in the United States, especially around holidays. Dates are also processed into cubes, paste called '"ajwa", spread, date syrup or "honey" called "dibs" or "rub" in Libya, powder (date sugar), vinegar or alcohol. Recent innovations include chocolate-covered dates and products such as sparkling date juice, used in some Islamic countries as a non-alcoholic version of champagne, for special occasions and religious times such as Ramadan.
