Study on the Plant Application of Polysaccharide in the Papermaking Process of Paper-process Reconstituted Tobacco Sheet
In order to study the effect of plant polysaccharides used as wet end additive on the performance of reconstituted tobacco,this study mainly discussed the effects of plant polysaccharides on the pulp retention rate,base sheet physical properties and cigarette product sen-sory quality of reconstituted tobacco by adding 17 plant polysaccharides to the pulp in the papermaking process of reconstituted tobacco.The results showed that:in terms of pulp retention rate,guar gum(addition amount of 0.8%by mass fraction)had the best effect on pulp reten-tion rate,which was 8%higher than blank sample;in terms of the physical properties of the base sheet,guar gum had a greater enhance ef-fect on the comprehensive physical properties;in terms of sensory quality of the cigarette product,the addition of polysaccharides had a nega-tive effect on the sensory quality of cigarette product,and tamarind seed polysaccharide(addition amount of 0.5%by mass fraction)had the least negative effect.
