Embodiment 1

[0022] The raw tobacco on the upper part of the cigar core is irradiated, the radiation dose is 9.5kGy, and the irradiation temperature is 37°C. The packaging container is made of oak box. When the irradiation reaches 1 / 2 of the predetermined dose, the wooden box is rotated 180° to continue the irradiation. After irradiation, store in the dark for 3 months under the conditions of ambient temperature 18° C. and relative humidity 65%.

[0023] The upper part of the filler usually has a natural aging time of not less than 2 years. After the tobacco leaves are irradiated, the aging and fermentation time is greatly shortened, and the sensory quality reaches the quality of the tobacco leaves that have been naturally aged for more than two and a half years. After the treatment, the smoke style of the tobacco leaves does not change much, the degree of bitterness is obviously reduced, the richness of aroma is enhanced, and the miscellaneous gas, irritation and vigor are all reduced.

Embodiment 2

[0025] The raw tobacco in the middle part of the cigar core is irradiated, the radiation dose is 9kGy, and the irradiation temperature is 35°C. The packaging container is made of oak box. When the irradiation reaches 1 / 2 of the predetermined dose, the wooden box is rotated 180° to continue irradiation. After irradiation, store in the dark for 3 months at an ambient temperature of 22° C. and a relative humidity of 75%.

[0026] As the main source of the aroma of a cigar, the middle part of the filler tobacco must have a natural aging time of no less than one and a half years. After the tobacco leaves are irradiated, the aging and fermentation time is greatly shortened, and the sensory quality reaches the quality of the tobacco leaves that have been naturally aged for more than 2 years. After treatment, the smoke style of the tobacco leaves does not change much, the degree of bitterness is significantly reduced, the richness of aroma is significantly enhanced, and the miscellane...

Embodiment 3

[0028] The lower part of the cigar core is treated with radiation, the radiation dose is 8kGy, and the radiation temperature is 30°C. The packaging container is made of oak box. When the radiation reaches 1 / 2 of the predetermined dose, the wooden box is rotated 180° to continue the irradiation. After irradiation, store in the dark for 2 months under the conditions of ambient temperature 20°C and relative humidity 70%.

[0029] The lower part of the filler tobacco is mainly used as a cigar filler, and its natural aging time should not be less than one year. The sensory quality of the tobacco leaves was not significantly changed after irradiation treatment, but the fermentation period was greatly shortened.

Abstract

The invention discloses application of irradiation treatment to cigar fermentation quality improvement. The irradiation treatment is characterized by including the following steps that cigar tobacco leaves placed in a storage room are stored after being subjected to irradiation treatment with the irradiation dosage of 8-10 kGy at the radiation temperature of 30 DEG C-40 DEG C. While the own scent of the cigar tobacco leaves is retained, the defects that before processing and treatment, the cigar tobacco leaves are bitter, large in offensive odor and high in irritation and strength, and remaining taste is uncomfortable are overcome, while the interior quality of the cigar tobacco leaves is improved, the tobacco mellowing cycle is shortened, and the problem that the stock of the tobacco leaves is too large is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tobacco processing, in particular to the application of irradiation treatment in the fermentation and upgrading of cigar tobacco. Background technique [0002] The essence of tobacco leaf fermentation is the process of profound changes in the physical and chemical properties of tobacco leaves under certain temperature and humidity conditions. It is a primary processing method for the tobacco industry to improve product quality, and it is also an extremely important link in tobacco processing. Unfermented raw tobacco and new tobacco not only have unsatisfactory color, but also often have green and local miscellaneous odors, rough taste, strong irritation, especially low-grade tobacco, which also has bitter, spicy, astringent, etc. shortcoming. After fermentation treatment, the bad quality factors of new tobacco and low-grade tobacco can be overcome to varying degrees, the green color of new tobacco can be...
