Effects of Different Moisture in Warehouse on the Storage Quality of Frame-packing Tobacco
[Objective]To study the optimum storage humidity of frame-packing tobacco during storage.[Method]Taking the natural non-con-trolled storage environment as the control(CK),at the same time and same ambient temperature,the experiments were carried out at different storage environment humidity levels to explore the effects of different ambient humidity in warehouse on tobacco moisture,tobacco tempera-ture,tobacco mildew and crushing,tobacco pest condition and nicotine content in frame-packing storage.[Result]The suitable environment order of tobacco moisture content was RH2 group>CK>RH1 group>RH3 group.The suitable environment order of tobacco temperature was RH2 group(average temperature 24.7℃,maximum temperature 27.3℃)>RH1 group(average temperature 24.8℃,maximum temperature 27.3℃)>CK(average temperature 25.8℃,maximum temperature 28.0℃)>RH3 group(average temperature 25.2℃,maximum tempera-ture 28.0℃).The loss rate order of tobacco in each group was RH3 group(3.03% )>RH1 group(0.48% )>CK(0.35% )>RH2 group(0.26% ).The nicotine content in tobacco of the four groups showed a fluctuating trend,and the insect condition was controllable.[Conclusion]It was the most suitable for tobacco moisture and tobacco temperature to control the humidity at 60%-70%,the loss and pest condition were controllable,it was suitable for tobacco storage in frame packaging.
