Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for improving the filling capacity of tobacco, in particular tobacco leaf cut, in which raw tobacco is moistened, stripped and cut and, after impregnation with an evaporable expansion agent, is subjected to a pressure reduction and / or an increase in temperature.
  • Tobacco leaves contain a significant amount of water when harvested. After the harvest, this water is removed by various drying processes, causing the leaf structure to shrink. In the usual processes for preparing tobacco for the production of cigarettes and cigars, the tobacco only recovers, if at all, only a small part of the original volume, so that overall there is a considerable loss in the fillability of the tobacco. The tobacco then has a higher volume density than that which is actually required for the production of cigarettes of satisfactory quality.
  • the antioxidants in order to achieve the desired effect, it is absolutely necessary to add the antioxidants to the tobacco before the expansion step, e.g. B. during or after moistening or de-stripping the tobacco leaves, preferably after de-stripping or after cutting. Subsequent addition of the antioxidant to already expanded tobacco cuts has no effect on the undesirable taste notes.
  • Ascorbic acid has been found to be most suitable for the present purpose, but other substances known to prevent or delay the self-oxidation of foods and essences also have a taste-improving effect. Substances with such properties are known; Listings can be found e.g. B. in Aebi et al., Cosmetics, Fragrances and Food Additives, Thieme Verlag, 1978, pp. 86-102.
  • the taste-preserving effect of the present invention is all the more surprising since substances which are believed to have an anti-oxidizing effect on foods and essences occur as natural ingredients in tobacco.
  • Such ingredients are e.g. B. ascorbic acid, pectins, amino acids, especially proline, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, chlorogenic acid, and quercetin derivatives such as. B. Rutin. It was therefore not to be expected that a subsequent or additional application of such substances would have a taste-saving effect.
  • the taste-protecting effect of ascorbic acid was surprising, since this substance in the above-mentioned list by Leffingwell et al. no effect is attributed.
  • antioxidants are preferably substances which are like the above-mentioned natural tobacco ingredients.
  • the addition of ascorbic acid is particularly preferred.
  • Example 1 5 kg of the tobacco mixture used in Comparative Example 1 were sprayed with a solution of 4 g of ascorbic acid in 0.4 l of water. This tobacco was then further treated as described in Example 1. The taste of the cigarettes produced from this expanded tobacco was judged by a team of experts in comparison to the cigarette from Example 1 to be aromatic and qualitatively much better overall, and there were no negative taste properties whatsoever.
