The invention relates to the technical field of tobacco
processing and in particular relates to
cut stems for cigarettes and a preparation method thereof as well as the cigarettes. The preparation method comprises: carrying out size screening,
microwave expansion, stem washing, pressure stem
wetting, ultrafine stem pressing, stem
cutting,
cut stem feeding and
cut stem storage on tobacco stem material to obtain a cut stem crude product; taking the cut stem crude product and carrying out cut stem
drying;
winnowing, adding
aroma into the cut stems and storing the cut stems to obtain the cut stems for the cigarettes. According to the preparation method provided by the invention, a previous stem size is pre-treated; meanwhile, expanded stems with a specific specification are obtained through utilizing a
microwave technology; then the cut stem crude product is obtained through adopting an ultrafine stem pressing and primary shredding technology; finally, the filiform cut stems are obtained through utilizing a
pipe plate
drying technology. An experiment result shows that compared with the cut stems prepared by a traditional method, the cut stems for the cigarettes, prepared by the method, have the advantages that the sensory quality is greatly improved, the color and luster are improved, the
aroma quantity is more sufficient,
odor and
irritation are alleviated, the
aftertaste is more comfortable, and the ratio of
doping the cut stems into cut tobaccos is improved.
