This invention relates to the field of tobacco
processing technology, specifically a method for determining the
penetration rate of exogenous additives in tobacco leaves, comprising the following steps: 1)
tobacco leaf pretreatment; 2) sample loading of tobacco leaves and exogenous additives: tobacco leaves and exogenous additives are placed in two thin-film mixing tanks, one for experimental groups and one for control groups; 3) application of exogenous additives; 4)
heat detection: a
calorimeter is used to detect and
record the heat changes throughout the entire process, including the application of the exogenous additives to the tobacco leaves, their penetration into the tobacco leaves, and their reaction with reactants in the lower tank after passing through the tobacco leaves; 5) calculation of the
penetration rate. The advantages of this invention are: by accurately detecting the heat changes of exogenous additives during the
penetration process in tobacco leaves, the
penetration rate of tobacco leaves can be characterized in real time and dynamically. It is applicable to the detection of the penetration rate of different types of exogenous additives in tobacco leaves, has a wide range of applications, and is simple and efficient.
