烤烟自然醇化和人工醇化过程中感官质量的变化

为明确烟叶最佳醇化方式和醇化时间，从而提高烟叶品质、节省醇化成本，以山东诸城复烤后的中部烤烟烟叶为试验材料，对人工醇化和自然醇化过程中烟叶感官评吸指标进行了评价分析。结果表明，两种醇化方式下诸城复烤烟样品的最佳醇化时间均为18个月左右；与自然醇化相比，人工醇化方式对烟叶品质提升效果更好。根据原料库存情况和品质需求采用合适的醇化方式和醇化时间，有利于卷烟企业提高烟叶质量、节约企业成本。

Changes of Sensory Quality of Flue-cured Tobacco During Natural and Artificial Aging

In order to find out the optimal aging method and aging time of flue-cured tobacco leaves for better quality and lower cost,With redried central flue-cured tobacco leaves from Zhucheng city,Shandong Province as the experimental materials,sensory quality of leaves were comparatively evaluated throughout the whole artificial and natural aging period.Results showed that the optimal aging time of the studied leave samples was about 18 months for both two aging methods.However,compared with natural aging,artificial aging showed a better improving effect on tobacco leave quality.This study would provide guidance for tobacco industry in selecting suitable aging method and aging time according to their own raw materials stock situation and product quality criteria,which is conducive to quality improvement and cost savings.
