Abstract: In order to expand the types of sweeteners used for cigarette tipping paper to include natural flavors, the application technology of a natural sweetener rebaudioside A on cigarette tipping paper was evaluated and the formulation of water-based ink and the fully coating technique of tipping paper were studied in order to keep the current style of tipping paper with sweet taste unchanged. The physical properties and hygienic indexes of finished cigarette tipping paper were tested, and the sensory evaluation of finished cigarette tipping paper and finished cigarettes were conducted. The results showed that: 1) Rebaudioside A had the advantages of high sweetness and good taste quality and was suitable for cigarette tipping paper. 2) Adopting fully coating technique effectively avoided the color difference issue and ensured the machine adaptability of the tipping paper. 3) The water-based ink formula containing rebaudioside A with the mass ratio of citric acid ∶ rebaudioside A ∶ water-based ink of 1 ∶ 20 ∶ 1 000 effectively improved the taste and met the production needs. 4) The finished tipping paper met the technical requirements in terms of physical indexes, hygiene indexes and the requirements of machine adaptability and consumer experience. The overall sensory quality of the finished cigarette samples featured a purer sweet taste, deep aftertaste, and prominent sweet scent.
