Abstract:

After recuring, tobacco leaves usually have some qualities that cannot meet the taste requirement of the market, enterprises usually need to mellow the redried tobacco leaves for a period of time to coordinate the internal chemical components of tobacco leaves and improve the quality, and the technology of tobacco leaves sealed with hypoxia is often used. This study explored the changes of iodine value, pH, color difference value, polyphenol oxidase activity, appearance quality and sensory quality of tobacco leaves within 3 months after sealing, aiming to lay a foundation for the storage management, quality assurance and use of the tobacco leaves. The results showed that the iodine value of tobacco leaves gradually increased within 3 months after the unsealing, and the pH dropped rapidly within 1 month of unsealing and gradually remained stable after 2-3 months, the color difference values fluctuated, and the activity of polyphenol oxidase gradually increased. In addition, the polyphenol oxidase activity of the samples sealed for 3 months under hypoxia was significantly lower than those of the samples under natural storage for 3 months after unsealing, the pH value and polyphenol oxidase activity also had a smaller change range than that of the unsealing samples, and the change range was close to that under natural storage for 1 month after unsealing. Appearance color evaluation showed that natural storage for 3 months after unsealing had the greatest impact on the color value of Hunan Xiangxi B2F tobacco leaves, followed by the impact on aroma and chromaticity, but had no effect on the uniformity and oil content of the tobacco leaves. Besides, natural storage had a relatively great impact on the color, uniformity and chromaticity of Yunnan Wenshan C3F, and basically had no effect on aroma and oil content. And the two storage methods, natural storage for 3 months after unsealing and continuous sealed with hypoxia for 3 months, had almost no effect on the appearance color evaluation scores of tobacco leaves. The study evaluates the properties’ change of tobacco leaves stored in hypoxia after unsealing and lay a foundation for the processing and application of tobacco leaves stored in hypoxia after unsealing.

Key words: redried tobacco, sealed with hypoxia, iodine value, pH, polyphenol oxidase activity, color difference value
