Abstract

A process for treating tobacco with a water-insoluble or slightly water-soluble flavorant employs an aqueous dispersion technique thus avoiding the need for any volatile organic sol­ vents. The process is carried out, either by batch, continously, or a combination thereof, by forming an aqueous dispersion of the flavorant, preferably menthol for cigarette tobacco and wintergreen for smokeless tobacco, and water in predeter­ mined proportions under constant agitation conditions. The dispersion is stabilized through the heat of shearing caused by agitation and by supplemental heat, or by a solvent stabilizer at ambient temperature. The dispersion is applied to the tobacco in a homogeneous and uniform way by spraying.
