Embodiment 1

[0023] After adjusting the moisture content of the upper part of the cigar filler to 22%, use ozone treatment for 3 times, each time for 30 minutes, the interval time is 10 minutes, and the total mass of ozone injected for 3 times is 90 mg (3 mg of ozone per kilogram of cigar leaves) , the average quality of ozone is 30 mg each time (1 mg of ozone is injected per kilogram of cigar tobacco each time); after ozone treatment, it is repackaged and put into the fermentation room for artificial fermentation. The environment of the fermentation room is controlled at a temperature of 50°C and a humidity of 70%, and the fermentation is completed in 20 days.

[0024] The upper part of the filler tobacco usually has a natural aging time of no less than 2 years, and a high-temperature and high-humidity fermentation time of 50-60 days. After the tobacco leaves are treated with ozone, the aging and fermentation time is greatly shortened, and the sensory quality reaches the quality of tobacc...

Embodiment 2

[0026] After adjusting the moisture content of the middle part of the cigar filler to 20%, use ozone treatment twice, each time 40 minutes, the interval time is 20 minutes, the total mass of ozone injected in the two times is 30 mg (1 mg ozone per kilogram of cigar leaves) , the average quality of ozone is 15mg each time (each kilogram of cigar leaves corresponds to 0.5mg of ozone); after ozone treatment, it is repackaged and put into the fermentation room for artificial fermentation. The environment of the fermentation room is controlled at a temperature of 50°C, a humidity of 70%, and a fermentation time of 15 days.

[0027] As the main source of the aroma of a cigar, the middle part of the filler tobacco has a natural aging time of no less than one and a half years, and a high-temperature and high-humidity fermentation time of 40-50 days. After the tobacco leaves are treated with ozone, the aging and fermentation time is greatly shortened, and the sensory quality reaches th...

Embodiment 3

[0029] After adjusting the moisture content of the lower part of the above-mentioned cigar filler to 18%, the ozone is passed through once for 30 minutes, and the quality of the ozone passed is 24 mg (0.8 mg of ozone per kilogram of cigar tobacco leaves); after the ozone treatment, it is repacked , into the fermentation room for artificial fermentation. The environment of the fermentation room is controlled at a temperature of 50° C., a humidity of 70%, and a fermentation time of 8 days.

[0030] The lower part of the filler tobacco is mainly used as cigar filler, and its natural aging time must not be less than one year, and the high-temperature and high-humidity fermentation time is between 15-25 days. After the tobacco leaves were treated with ozone, the sensory quality did not change much, but the fermentation period was greatly shortened.

Abstract

The invention discloses an ozone treatment process for fermentation and quality improvement of a cigar. The ozone treatment process is characterized by comprising the following steps: humidifying a cigar leaf to improve the moisture of the cigar leaf until the water content of the cigar leaf is 18 to 22 percent, and then charging ozone, namely charging 0.5 to 3mg of ozone into 1kg of the cigar leaves. According to the ozone treatment process, the own fragrance of the cigar leaf is retained, and meanwhile, the defects of heavy bitterness, heavy offensive odor, strong irritation, high strength and uncomfortable remaining taste of the cigar leaf before processing treatment are overcome; the inherent quality of the cigar leaf is improved, the mellowing period of the cigar leaf is shortened, and the problem of over-large stock of the cigar leaves is mitigated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tobacco processing, in particular to the application of ozone treatment in the fermentation and upgrading of cigar tobacco. Background technique [0002] Ozone is a trace gas in the earth's atmosphere. Ozone is also known as triatomic oxygen, commonly known as "Fu oxygen, super oxygen, active oxygen", and its molecular formula is O 3 . Ozone has a strong oxidizing property and is recognized as a broad-spectrum high-efficiency fungicide by the world. Its oxidizing ability is twice as high as that of chlorine, and its sterilization is 600-3000 times faster than that of chlorine. It can even kill bacteria within a few seconds. Ozone can kill bacterial propagules and spores, viruses, fungi, etc., and can destroy botulinum toxins. It can clear the air and kill toxic substances in the air, water, and food. Common Escherichia coli, streptococcus faecalis, green Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus, mold, etc., i...
