Study on the Application of Compound Enzyme Preparations in Cigarette Production on Improving Tobacco Module Quality
In order to fully exploit the potential of compound enzyme preparations in improving the comprehensive quality of tobacco, cigarette blend modules were developed from large ratio Chongqing tobacco to study the key techniques of enzyme preparations for improving tobacco module quality in cigarette production. Three large ratio Chongqing tobacco blend modules were determined by blend formula selection and oral evaluation. By means of computer direct design and sensory quality scoring, different enzyme preparations and coordinated additive solvent system were developed, in combination with the sensory quality evaluation assigning means. The results showed after enzyme treatments, pro-tein reduction rate could reach 21.73%, while water-soluble total sugar and reducing sugar increase rate could reach 27.76% and 27.61% re-spectively. The pilot test had significant effects on tobacco module about reducing the irritancy, removing offensive odors, improving taste and purity of smoke.
