The invention provides a preparation method of a
thymol-like tobacco
raw material, which comprises the following steps: mixing
flue-cured tobacco and burley tobacco, and sterilizing to obtain mixed tobacco leaves; soaking the mixed tobacco leaves in the first
fermentation liquor, and performing sealed
fermentation to obtain a
tobacco leaf raw material A; performing high-temperature and high-pressure treatment on the
raw material A, and airing to obtain a
tobacco leaf raw material B; and spraying the second
fermentation liquor to the raw material B, performing sealed fermentation, taking out, performing high-temperature and high-pressure inactivation and color fixation treatment again, and airing to obtain a
tobacco leaf raw material C. According to the tobacco leaf raw material sample prepared through the specific fermentation and treatment mode, the smell intensity, the indoor note intensity and the note intensity during smoking are all improved, the note characteristics and the richness degree are remarkably improved, the
combustion rate of the tobacco leaf raw material is remarkably improved, the
smoke state is remarkably improved, offensive
odor is remarkably reduced, and the tobacco leaf raw material has the good taste. The comfort and the taste are also obviously improved.
