Technical Analysis on Reducing Tar in Cigarette Blends of Flue-cured Tobacco
The study focuses on the technical analysis of reducing tar in cigarette blends of flue-cured tobacco.By discussing various methods such as cultivating low-tar varieties,improving the potassium content in tobacco leaves,adding tobacco sheets and expanded tobacco(stem)silk,reforming the leaf group formula structure,and enhancing the filling power through processing technology,this research aimd to provide a theoretical reference for further exploration of technical mea-sures to reduce tar in leaf group formulas.The results indicated that these measures could effectively reduce the tar content of cigarettes while maintaining the aroma and smoking quality.Moreover,the study suggested that by adjusting the leaf group for-mula and optimizing processing techniques without increasing the proportion of high-quality tobacco leaves,it was possible to achieve the goal of tar reduction.The findings of this research had significant theoretical and practical implications for guiding tobacco companies in implementing effective tar reduction measures at the leaf group formula level.
