Benefits of technology

This technology allows for better control over how harmful chemicals are produced during processing of cured tobaccos by treating them with specific conditions at different temperatures or pressures. It also increases the amount of volatile compounds present within the material being treated while reducing its damage from burning it outdoors.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed by this patent relates to improving the efficiency of extracting useful components from plants without causing damage or burning them due to excessive heat generated during processing.

Abstract

The invention relates to a steam explosion method for improving the tobacco stalk quality by using carbon dioxide as an exogenous gas, belonging to the field of steam explosion tobacco processing. The method comprises the following steps of: moistening the tobacco stalks and controlling the water content within 30 to 40%; loading the moistened and softened tobacco stalks into an explosion chamber, sealing an upper cover and introducing CO2 exogenous gas for 20 seconds at the introduction pressure of 0.4 to 0.6 MPa; introducing saturated steam for 60 seconds and closing a steam valve at pressure of 0.6 to 1.0 MPa, so as to explode the tobacco stalks; placing the exploded product into a fluidized bed for dehydrogenation and drying until the water content is within 30 to 40%; and shredding and dilating the dehydrogenated and dried tobacco stalks for cigarette formulation. The processed sample has good aroma delivery performance, remarkably reduces the pungency and the strength, good flammability and entirely enhanced sensorial quality; in addition, compared with the original basis, the formulation stalk shred ratio is improved by 2 to 3%.
