Summary:Processes for recovering sugars and nicotine from a tobacco biomass include feeding a biomass of tobacco plants and subcritical water to a reactor (20), hydrolyzing the biomass of tobacco plants with the subcritical water at a temperature between about 150 DEG C and 305 DEG C and recovering a liquid product and a solid product from the reactor, wherein the liquid product contains water-soluble sugars and nicotine.
