본 발명은 궐련 재(ash)의 백색도를 향상시키는 줄기의 제조 방법을 개시하고, 이는 다음과 같은 단계인 궐련 줄기 원료를 용출 처리하는 단계(1), 글리세롤로 복원 및 용출 처리된 궐련 줄기를 통해 궐련 줄기의 가공 저항성의 강도를 회복시키는 단계(2), 궐련 줄기의 잔여물인 글리세롤을 제거하고, 궐련 줄기를 절단하여 궐련용 줄기를 얻는 단계(3)을 포함한다. 본 발명에서 얻은 궐련용 줄기를 궐련에 넣어 사용하면 궐련 재의 백색도가 15 내지 30 단위 개선되고, 재의 응고 지수가 1 내지 2 단위 감소되며, 궐련의 감각 품질의 변화가 비교적 적고 안전 위험이 없다. 일반용 궐련 재로 궐련 재의 백색도를 향상시키는 공정(분쇄율이 약 10 내지 20%이다)과는 달리, 이 방법을 사용하면 분쇄율이 2 내지 3% 이내로 제어될 수 있어 생산 원가를 크게 절감할 수 있다. To provide a method of manufacturing shredded leaf midrib for improving whiteness of cigarette ash.SOLUTION: A method comprises a step (1) of eluting leaf midrib of tobacco as a raw material, a step (2) of repairing the leaf midrib of the tobacco after the elution treatment with glycerol so as to restore machining resistance strength of the leaf midrib of the tobacco, and a step (3) of removing the glycerol remaining in the leaf midrib of the tobacco and cutting the leaf midrib of the tobacco to obtain shredded leaf midrib. By adding to a cigarette and using the shredded leaf midrib obtained in the present invention, whiteness of the cigarette ash can be significantly improved by 15 to 30 units, an ash coagulation index can be lowered by 1 to 2 units, the change in the functional quality of the cigarette is small, and there is no safety concern. As compared with a method for improving the whiteness of cigarette ash by means of conventional leaf midrib cutting (rate of crushing is about 10 to 20%), the method is capable of controlling the rate of crushing to within 2 to 3% and significantly reducing the production cost.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
