METHODS OF MAKING RECONSTITUTED TOBACCO SHEETS

摘要

A reconstituted tobacco sheet having a high content of aerosol former therein is manufactured by preparing an aqueous slurry containing a tobacco material 10 which is formed into a sheet 20. The moisture content of the sheet can be reduced to less than about 50% by weight 30 before incorporating an aerosol former such as glycerin 40, which can be at a temperature below about 400°C, followed by drying the sheet 50. The sheet can be thrashed, blended with natural tobacco strips, and shredded into a cut filler of a smoking article.
