Abstract: In order to provide reference for inclusion reconstituted tobacco in cigarette blend and processing, the physical and chemical characteristics of reconstituted tobacco and strips were compared after vacuum conditioning, loosening and conditioning, ordering, and cut tobacco drying, the results showed that: 1) the moisture Absorbing and retaining ability of reconstituted tobacco was lower than that of strips, reconstituted tobacco had already mixed with strips uniformly after ordering;2) with the proceeding of processing, the crimp, burning rate and filling power of reconstituted tobacco increased, per unit area weight and thickness changed little, while tensile strength decreased;3) the waste of reconstituted tobacco(1.5%-2.5%) generated mostly at cutting process, the routine chemical components changed in a small range only at drying process.
