Abstract

The work aims to develop a new reconstituted tobacco sheet used for cigar wrapper, and focus on improving the color stability of cigar wrapper from tobacco sheet to replace the natural cigar wrapper. Based on the production technology of reconstituted tobacco, a new cigarette wrapper based on reconstituted tobacco sheet was prepared with tobacco stem pulp, bleached softwood pulp and bleached hardwood pulp. Lignin with certain molecular weight was used to increase the color stability of natural pigments. The tensile strength of the reconstituted tobacco sheet was 1.13 kN/m. Its air permeability was 29.3 cm3/(min∙cm2). Its elongation percentage was 1.42%. Its static combustibility rate was 0.849 s/mm. Its content of alkaline lignin was 4.0% (calculated in natural pigment). Its chromatic aberration was 4.49 (ΔE=4.49, 12 h). Its color stability was increased by 66.7% compared with that of the control sample (ΔE=13.47, 12 h). Its sensory quality was good. The cigarette wrapper from reconstituted tobacco fully meets the requirements of physical properties, combustion characteristic and color stability (ΔE≤5.0, within 12 h), and meets the evaluation index of sensory quality for cigar wrapper.
