Investigation Burley Tobacco Quality in Horizontal Stalk Cut Curing and Using of Desiccants

ABSTRACT

The investigation on consumer qualities of Burley tobacco puts on its inevitable participation in “american blend” cigarettes. Its higher balance moisture defines bigger pliability to microbiological damages/get mould/, which put continuous control and regulation its moisture. The offered technology for horizontal curing of stalk cut Burley tobacco treated of desiccants reveals possibilities for improving quality in decreased continuation of curing. The aim of investigation is study of technology of stalk cut horizontal curing with using of desiccants and its influence to Burley tobacco quality. The investigation has made in two kinds of arranging: vertical hanging up without plants treating/control/and horizontal arranging: control—untreated tobacco; treating with “Reglon” and treating with “Roundup”. The chemical composition, physical indexes of tobacco and smoke composition are determined for quality evaluation. In result of investigation influence of desiccants in stalk cut horizontal curing of Burley tobacco type is determined that using of desiccants is an effective method for process precipitation and its quality is improved in determinate stage.
