Method for processing burley stems into expanded cut stems

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for processing burley stems into expanded cut stems, which belongs to the technical field of cigarette processing. The method is implemented according to the steps in a sequence as follows: (1) washing burley stems; (2) adding materials to the burley stems for the first time; (3) keeping the burley stems added with the materials in storage; (4) baking the burley stems at high temperature; (5) moistening and cutting the stems; (6) adding the material to the cut burley stems for the second time; (7) moistening again; and (8) expanding, wherein the expanded burley stems are finished cut stems. The method has the advantages of improving the quality of the smoking smell of the burley stems, transforming too high nicotine and various nitrogen-containing compounds in the burley stems into various aroma components, processing a large number of burley stems into the usable expanded cut stems, saving resources and developing a novel usable raw tobacco materials, along with scientificity, reasonability, simple operation and remarkable technical results.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarette processing, and in particular relates to a method for processing burley tobacco stems treated as waste into usable expanded shredded stems. Background technique [0002] As smoking and health issues are increasingly concerned by people, low-tar cigarettes that are less harmful to the human body, especially low-tar, light-flavored mixed cigarettes, have become a common trend in the development of cigarettes in the world. Burley tobacco is one of the main raw materials of blended cigarette products. Generally speaking, the proportion of Burley tobacco used in the blended cigarette formula exceeds 30%, and Burley tobacco is the main raw material that embodies the style characteristics of the blended cigarette product. Burley tobacco stems account for more than 25% of the weight of tobacco leaves. Due to the high content of nicotine and total nitrogen in Burley tobacco stems, and the low content of...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. Due to the weak processing resistance of flue-cured tobacco stems, the intensity of the existing process is generally light, and the curing temperature in the processing process is generally below 150°C, which is not conducive to the excessive nicotine and various types of tobacco in Burley tobacco stems. Removal of strong miscellaneous gases and irritating nitrogen-containing compounds;

[0005] 2. The processing procedures and process parameters of the existing technology are mainly designed based on the physical and chemical properties of flue-cured tobacco stems. The process treatment has not been designed for the Maillard reaction of Burley tobacco, and the Maillard reaction in Burley tobacco stems cannot be well utilized. Important role in silk processing
