<p>1,232,542. Treating tobacco stems. AMERICAN TOBACCO CO. 7 March, 1969 [7 March, 1968], No. 12210/69. Heading A2C. The smoking taste of tobacco stems is improved by a method which consists essentially of subjecting a body of raw tobacco stems, prior to all other extraction and chemical processing treatments, to the action of a vacuum and then breaking the vacuum by the admission of superheated steam to the body of the stems. The vacuum-steam treating cycle may be repeated a number of times, typically four times, with advantage. The treated stems may be used for forming reconstituted tobacco sheets.</p> |
