The invention discloses a
tobacco leaf curing method based on low-
oxygen pulse and micro-negative pressure regulation and control, and relates to the technical field of
tobacco leaf processing, and the method comprises the following steps: fresh tobacco is pretreated, yellow tobacco leaves with fallen fuzz are harvested, and after natural withering, the tobacco leaves are bundled to a curing barn tobacco curing frame; the
atmosphere is arranged before baking, air bags for mixing
nitrogen and air are evenly arranged at the top of the baking room, the initial
oxygen concentration is made to be 18%-19%, and the air
leakage rate is kept below 8%; in the yellowing stage, the
oxygen concentration, the micro-negative pressure, the temperature and the
humidity are adjusted in the early stage, the middle stage and the later stage of yellowing, and
chloroplast degradation is accelerated; in the color fixing stage, the temperature is increased, the oxygen concentration is increased, the
humidity is reduced, the micro-negative pressure is reduced, and the tobacco leaves are stabilized to be golden yellow; in the rib
drying stage, the temperature and
humidity are further increased and reduced, so that the tobacco ribs are thoroughly dried and maintain
toughness; and a
moisture regaining stage: cooling and humidifying to soften the tobacco leaves. According to the scheme, low-oxygen pulse, micro-negative pressure and temperature and humidity are cooperatively regulated and controlled, the
tobacco leaf yellowing time is shortened, color brightness and chemical component coordination are kept, and the problems that a traditional method is long in yellowing period and prone to
browning are solved.
