Cut tobacco storage
Martin Brinkmann AG, Bremen, Germany
The effect of the storage time of cut tobacco on tobacco and smoke chemistry, physical cigarette parameters and sensory properties has been studied in six commercial blends. All available evidence suggests that the storage of cut tobacco for up to 26 weeks at 21.degree.C and 70% RH has no detrimental effect on aroma and taste and hence on the acceptability of the product.
