Sensory Characteristics of Jianshi Burley Tobacco During Primary Processing

In order to make good use of the quality potential of Jianshi burley tobacco,the changes of its sensory characteristics in heating processes under different processing intensities were investigated.The results indicated that:1) the aroma style changed in all heating processings,and middle leaves were more susceptible than upper leaves;2) style character,flavor abundance,smoke concentration and impact declined in general,and at a rate increased with the increase of processing intensity;3) the offensive odor of upper leaves and smoothness might be improved under proper processing intensity;4) except that the irritancy and cleanness of middle leaves became worse under some intensities in cut tobacco drying,mouth feelings were generally improved.
