浅析再造烟叶的工艺、特性及作用

The Process, Characteristic and Function of Reconstituted Tobacco

为了达到降焦减害、降低成本、调节感官值、增加填充率和燃烧性等效果,卷烟配方中通常会加入不同比例的再造烟叶[1]。再造烟叶又可称为烟草薄片,它的概念早在1857年便有人提出,真正的制造则开始于20世纪的50年代[2]。再造烟叶是指将打叶复烤和卷烟制造过程之中产生的部分不能满足卷烟工艺利用条件的烟草原料,例如烟梗、废弃烟末和一部分较低次的烟叶等,制成具有与烟草类似的薄片状的再生产物,用作卷烟的填充原料。将再造烟叶添加到卷烟里之后能够比较显著地减少烟气中的焦油和烟碱等有害成分[3]。文章将就再造烟叶的生产方法、特性及作用进行归纳与探讨。

In order to achieve the reduction of coke, reduce costs, adjust the sensory value, and increase the filling rate and the effect of burning. A different proportion of reconstituted tobacco are usually added to the cigarette formulation[1]. Reconstituted tobacco is also known as tobacco slice. Its concept was put forward in 1857. But the real manufacturing began in the 50＇s in twentieth Century[2]. Reconstituted tobacco is the tobacco raw material which can not meet the conditions of cigarette processing. Such as tobacco stems, the end of the waste tobacco and some of the lower tobacco, etc, to make a thin slice of tobacco for filling material for cigarette. After adding reconstituted tobacco into cigarette, the harmful components of tar and nicotine in flue gas can be reduced significantly[3]. In the paper, the production methods, characteristics and functions of reconstituted tobacco were summarized and discussed.
