Abstract:

The quality of cigarette raw materials is the basis to determine the cigarettes quality. The main components of cigarette raw materials such as cellulose, pectin, sugar and nicotine are different in different regions, which restricts the development of industrial enterprises. In order to solve the uneven raw materials in different regions, progress has been made in the degradation of macromolecules (such as cellulose) and chemical components (such as nicotine) by biological enzyme technology. In this paper, the research progress of cellulase and its compound enzyme preparation in tobacco was summarized, and the influence of cellulase on tobacco leaf, stem, reconstituted tobacco leaf and tobacco extract was analyzed, in order to provide reference for the production of tobacco leaf and cigarette by biological enzyme.

Key words: flue-cured tobacco, enzyme, cellulase, tobacco leaf quality
