Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of flue-cured tobacco curing, and in particular relates to a curing method for improving the protein degradation rate of tobacco leaves. Background technique
[0002] Protein is one of the important components of tobacco and is closely related to the quality of tobacco. The degradation of proteins in plants is generally believed to be firstly acted by endopeptidases, which hydrolyze proteins into polypeptides, and then hydrolyze polypeptides into amino acids by exopeptidases, among which exopeptidases are divided into Aminopeptidase and Carboxypeptidase. During the roasting process, the protein can be degraded, and the amino acids produced can produce aroma substances that are beneficial to the quality of tobacco by reacting with reducing sugars or directly degrading them. If the protein content of the tobacco leaves is high after roasting, the intensity of the smoke will be too high, the aroma and taste w...
