This invention relates to the field of tobacco
processing technology, and particularly to a sweet-scented granular tobacco stem and its
processing technology. The
processing technology includes the following steps: S1, Preparation of coarse granular tobacco stem: The tobacco stem raw materials are screened by size, washed, stored, pressed,
cut once, and
cut twice to obtain coarse granular tobacco stem; S2, Popping the stem in a popcorn
machine: The coarse granular tobacco stem is fed into a popcorn
machine for
roasting, kept warm and pressurized, and then quickly depressurized to normal pressure to obtain granular tobacco stem with a uniform microporous structure; sieving; S3, Flavoring the tobacco stem: The sieved granular tobacco stem is fed into a
roasting equipment, a natural sweetener is added, and
roasting is performed, controlling the
moisture content between 12-14%, to obtain the finished sweet-scented granular tobacco stem. The sweet-scented granular tobacco stem obtained by this invention has a regular and uniform shape, rich
flavor layers, and a long
aroma retention time. The overall quality of the tobacco stem is significantly improved, and it can be effectively applied to cigarette production to enhance the competitiveness of cigarette products.
