Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a kind of baking process that can prevent upper tobacco leaves from being covered with dust, belongs to upper tobacco leaves baking technical field. BACKGROUND

[0002] After baking, the surface of tobacco leaves is a little bit fuzzy and gray, which is called dust covering.If the whole leaf is seriously gray, it is called gray face.Dust covering tobacco can be divided into light dust covering, moderate dust covering and heavy dust covering.Dust covering tobacco usually only appears on the front of tobacco leaves, because the front of tobacco leaves has less stomata than the back, and the moisture is not discharged smoothly, so it is easy to be affected.The upper leaves and thicker tobacco leaves are easy to produce dust covering, because the front has less stomata, and the wax layer is thicker, so the moisture discharge process is hindered.

[0019] The seventh transition stage: the dry ball temperature is raised from 48℃ to 54℃, and the transition time is 11-12 hours; and the wet ball temperature is raised from 36℃ to 38℃, and the transition time is 12-13 hours;

[0020] The seventh temperature stabilizing stage: the dry ball temperature is kept at 54℃, and the wet ball temperature is kept at 38℃, and temperature stabilizing for 6 hours;

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] The present application is by in the first transition phase: the dry bulb temperature, the wet bulb temperature are all from the actual temperature to 35 DEG C, the transition time is 3-4 hours; the first temperature stabilization phase: the dry bulb temperature, the wet bulb temperature is kept at 35 DEG C, and the temperature stabilization is 6 hours; the second transition phase: the dry bulb temperature, the wet bulb temperature is kept at 35 DEG C for 6 hours, and then the fire is turned to heat, the dry bulb temperature is raised from 35 DEG C to 38-40 DEG C, the wet bulb temperature is raised from 35 DEG C to 36-38 DEG C and kept, and the transition time is 3 hours; the second temperature stabilization phase: temperature stabilization is 20-30 hours, until the low-temperature layer tobacco reaches 8-9 layers of yellow; the third transition phase: the dry bulb temperature is reduced from 38-40 DEG C to 32 DEG C, and the transition time is 7-10 hours; the third temperature stabilization phase: temperature stabilization is 20-25 hours, until the low-temperature layer tobacco reaches yellow sheet white muscle; the fourth transition phase: the dry bulb temperature is raised from 32 DEG C to 38 DEG C, and the transition time is 8 hours; the fourth temperature stabilization phase: the dry bulb temperature is kept at 38 DEG C, and the temperature stabilization is 20-25 hours, until the low-temperature layer tobacco reaches hooking and edge curling; the fifth transition phase: the dry bulb temperature is raised from 38 DEG C to 40 DEG C, and the transition time is 4-5 hours; the fifth temperature stabilization phase: the dry bulb temperature is kept at 40 DEG C, and the temperature stabilization is 6-8 hours; the sixth transition phase: the dry bulb temperature is raised from 40 DEG C to 48 DEG C, and the transition time is 10 hours; such a curing method, the principle is analyzed as follows: in the curing process, when the upper leaves picked are slow in water loss, it is more likely to form ash hanging smoke. Therefore, the water loss rate of the leaf is one of the most important factors affecting the formation of ash hanging smoke, and the content and thickness of the leaf cuticle wax affect the transpiration of the tobacco leaf. The higher the wax content of the tobacco leaf, the stronger the drought resistance, and the drought resistance of the tobacco leaf is usually proportional to the wax content of the leaf surface. The content and thickness of the wax layer of the leaf affect the loss of water in the leaf, thereby regulating the drought resistance of the plant. In the process of curing, with the increase of temperature, the secretion of wax in the tobacco leaf increases, further hindering the discharge of water, causing difficulty in water discharge during the curing process, and causing ash hanging phenomenon.

[0027] And through the method, in the first transition phase to the second temperature stabilization phase, although the temperature is raised, compared with the prior art, the degree of increase is low, although there is a case of promoting secretion of waxy, but the low amplitude of the secretion of waxy is small, which does not affect the moisture discharge, and then in the third transition phase to the sixth transition phase, the moisture is discharged and the temperature is reduced, the dry ball temperature is reduced from 38-40℃ to 32℃, and the transition time is 7-10 hours, so as to disrupt the mechanism of waxy secretion, consume the existing secreted waxy, and destroy the waxy secretion process in the fourth transition phase to the sixth transition phase, which does not affect the subsequent moisture discharge and color setting, so as to realize the reduction of the ash deposition, and the waxy secretion process also needs to consume its own energy, the low amplitude of the temperature rise in the first transition phase to the second temperature stabilization phase in cooperation with the low temperature stage in the third temperature stabilization phase, can also consume the energy in the leaf, reduce or weaken the energy or ability of waxy secretion in the fourth transition phase to the sixth transition phase, which is beneficial to reduce the ash deposition.
