The invention provides black
powder yeast and application of the black
powder yeast in preparation of tobacco products. The invention relates to a
saccharomyces uniguttatus strain SC-8, which is preserved in China General
Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC) on April 16, 2025, the address of the
saccharomyces uniguttatus strain SC-8 is No.3, No.1
Yard, Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, and the preservation number of the
saccharomyces uniguttatus strain SC-8 is CGMCC No.34232. The saccharomyces uniguttatus strain SC-8 is named as the saccharomyces uniguttatus strain SC-8. The strain can secrete
lipoxygenase and degrade
carotenoid and lipid substances in tobacco leaves. When the compound is used for enhanced
fermentation of tobacco leaves, the content of
carotenoid degradation products, cembrane degradation products,
Maillard reaction products,
chlorophyll degradation products,
terpenoid substances and the like in the tobacco leaves can be remarkably increased, the total content of
aroma components is increased by 21.2%, and the
potassium-
chlorine ratio is increased by 35.4%. The cigar tobacco essence can significantly improve the
aroma amount,
aroma richness, maturity,
sweetness and
combustibility of cigar tobacco leaves, reduce
irritation and offensive
odor, and highlight the aroma characteristics of sweet aroma, costustoot, bean aroma and the like, thereby improving the
usability of the tobacco leaves.
