The invention discloses a
flue-cured tobacco curing method for increasing the
amino acid content of heated cigarette tobacco leaves and application. The
flue-cured tobacco curing method comprises thesteps that fresh
flue-cured tobacco leaves suitable for being cured are harvested and woven into rods and then put into a curing barn; the curing parameters of the tobacco leaves put into the barn inthe yellowing period, the color fixing period and the stem
drying period are sequentially controlled, and then the cured heated cigarette tobacco leaves with the high
amino acid content are obtained.The tobacco leaves are obtained through the flue-cured tobacco curing method. The application is application of the tobacco leaves obtained through the flue-cured tobacco curing method in preparationof heated cigarettes. According to the characteristics of the raw materials of the heated cigarettes, the
curing time and temperature in the yellowing period, the color fixing period and the stem
drying period are comprehensively regulated and controlled, especially,
hydrolysis of
protein in the tobacco leaves into
amino acid is promoted through stepped temperature rise in the yellowing period, the amino acid and
sugar are prone to generating a
Maillard reaction in the low-temperature heating process of the heated cigarettes, a series of compounds with the fragrance characteristic are generated, and therefore the fragrance quality and the fragrance amount of the heated tobacco leaves can be increased, and the purpose of improving the quality of the heated cigarette tobacco leaves is achieved.
