Cigar mildewproof additive and using method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to an additive for cigar mildewproof treatment. The additive comprises the following components in part by weight: 50 to 100 parts of natamycin, 50 to 150 parts of solubilizer, 0.1 to 2 parts of antioxidant and 0.1 to 3 parts of surfactant. The components are dissolved in 100 parts of water after being mixed uniformly, the pH value of the solution is adjusted to 3 to 7, and the solution is stirred for 30 minutes. The additive, which uses water as diluent, is applied on the surface of cigar tobacco in a soaking or spray manner. The additive has the advantages of special inhibitory action on fungi and yeasts which cause mildew, prevention of cigar mildew, no influence on normal operation of alcoholized fermentation, no adverse effect on the quality of the cigar, high efficiency, environmental protection, low cost, effective reduction in the risks of the cigar mildew and improvement on the quality of the cigar.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an additive for anti-mold treatment of cigars, and provides a usage method of the additive. Background technique [0002] Mildew of cigars is a prominent problem that has been plaguing cigar manufacturers and cigar consumers. The production of cigars must go through processes such as alcoholization, fermentation, and curing. These processes include chemical, enzymatic, and microbial actions, which together promote the transformation of substances contained in cigar leaves and the formation of special qualities. For cigars, some enzymes and microorganisms are even the key factors affecting the formation of quality style. Frankenbury et al. pointed out in 1947 that about half of the tobacco protein was hydrolyzed by enzymes during the fermentation process. Behei J et al. believed that glycosidase in tobacco leaves decomposed sugars into many important aroma components. Izquierdo Tamayo A. et al. reported in 1958 that Micrococc...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In summary, there are mainly the following defects: 1. The killing effect is non-selective, and enzymes and microorganisms that are beneficial to alcoholic fermentation are also inhibited, thereby adversely affecting the quality and style of cigars; 2. The anti-mold effect lasts for a short time without long-term protection Function; 3. High technical requirements, complicated operation and increased cost
