Abstract:
In order to study the effect of chloride ions on combustibility from reconstituted tobacco, the routine chemical components, the combustibility and the smoking quality of reconstituted tobacco were analyzed. Reconstituted tobacco was made of tobacco stem with different concentrations of chloride ions at the same area. No significant differences were found in contents of total sugar and reducing sugar. However, the content of chlorine in different reconstituted tobacco samples was varied from each other. The contents of chlorine was between 0.60% and 1.04%, which showed non-significant correlations with burning rate from tobacco sheet and cigarette smoldering rate. Chlorine content of 0.60~1.04% also showed little effect on reconstituted tobacco.
