Application of ozone treatment in fermentation and quality improvement of cigar

Abstract

The invention discloses an ozone treatment process for fermentation and quality improvement of a cigar. The ozone treatment process is characterized by comprising the following steps: humidifying a cigar leaf to improve the moisture of the cigar leaf until the water content of the cigar leaf is 18 to 22 percent, and then charging ozone, namely charging 0.5 to 3mg of ozone into 1kg of the cigar leaves. According to the ozone treatment process, the own fragrance of the cigar leaf is retained, and meanwhile, the defects of heavy bitterness, heavy offensive odor, strong irritation, high strength and uncomfortable remaining taste of the cigar leaf before processing treatment are overcome; the inherent quality of the cigar leaf is improved, the mellowing period of the cigar leaf is shortened, and the problem of over-large stock of the cigar leaves is mitigated.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tobacco processing, in particular to the application of ozone treatment in the fermentation and upgrading of cigar tobacco. Background technique

[0002] Ozone is a trace gas in the earth's atmosphere. Ozone is also known as triatomic oxygen, commonly known as "Fu oxygen, super oxygen, active oxygen", and its molecular formula is O 3 . Ozone has a strong oxidizing property and is recognized as a broad-spectrum high-efficiency fungicide by the world. Its oxidizing ability is twice as high as that of chlorine, and its sterilization is 600-3000 times faster than that of chlorine. It can even kill bacteria within a few seconds. Ozone can kill bacterial propagules and spores, viruses, fungi, etc., and can destroy botulinum toxins. It can clear the air and kill toxic substances in the air, water, and food. Common Escherichia coli, streptococcus faecalis, green Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus, mold, etc., i...
