Abstract:

In order to explore the effects of drying temperature conditions on the nitrogen transformation mechanism of cigar tobacco leaves during discoloration period, taking Chuanxue No.1 as the test material, four temperature treatments(23°C, 25°C, 27°C and 29°C)were set, and the contents of main nitrogen compounds and the activities of key enzymes for nitrogen conversion in tobacco leaves were determined and analyzed. The results showed that, the activities of nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase in tobacco leaves increased first and then decreased with the increase of drying temperature during discoloration period. The enzyme activities of tobacco leaves treated at 23°C and 29°C were significantly decreased. With the increase of the drying temperature, the contents of nitrate and nitrite in each treatment showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing, the contents of ammonia and total volatile alkali decreased significantly, and the protein content increased significantly, the contents of NH4+-N and amino acids in tobacco leaves treated at 27°C were significantly increased, and the content of nitrite was significantly decreased. The correlation analysis of ammonia conversion products in tobacco leaves showed that the ammonia content of each treatment had a significant negative correlation with total volatile alkali, total nitrogen and protein while having no significant correlation with NH4+-N and amino acid content. When the temperature in discoloration period was controlled at 27°C, the chemical components in tobacco leaves were more coordinated, and the physical properties and sensory quality of tobacco leaves were the best, and the treatment with 25°C took the second place. To sum up, suitable drying temperature conditions during discoloration period are beneficial to improve the quality of cigar tobacco leaves.

Key words: Cigar tobacco leaves, Drying temperature, Discoloration period, Ammonia, Nitrogen conversion
