FIELD: tobacco industry, in particular, improvement of filling capability of tobacco cut leaves or tobacco leaf veins and, correspondingly, tobacco additives. ^ SUBSTANCE: method involves processing tobacco crude material having initial moisture content of 10-30% with processing gas consisting of nitrogen and/or argon under pressures of from 400 bar to 1,000 bar, followed by continuous decompression and additional thermal processing of discharged tobacco material. Bulk tobacco mass filling density in autoclave is in the excess of 0.2 kg/dm3. ^ EFFECT: increased quantity of filling substance, reduced specific consumption of processing gas, and decreased consumption of power for operation of compressor for opened amount of tobacco. ^ 5 cl, 3 tbl, 4 ex |
