Effect of High Temperature Baking on Flue-cured Tobacco Chemical Quality

In order to investigate the effects of baking process on chemical quality of flue-cured tobacco,the chemical quality of 6 kinds of flue-cured tobacco before and after baking was evaluated comprehensively using fuzzy grey correlation analysis. The results showed that baking process was overall good for improving chemical quality of 6 kinds of flue-cured tobacco. The improvement was located between 0.05%~15.75%. However, there were some different effects of baking on the chemical quality of different flue-cured tobacco. The quality of Honghe K326 C3F tobacco got the most dramatically improvement and it was suitable as raw material for baking process. Therefore, application of tobacco baking process should give full consideration to the differences of tobacco material. Selection of suitable for flue-cured tobacco baking process is good for to further improving the chemical quality and use value.
