Title:
DEHYDRATION OF TOBACCO AND TOBACCO-DERIVED MATERIALS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/109660
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method of modifying the moisture level of (e.g., dehydrating) a tobacco plant or portion thereof, a tobacco-derived material, a tobacco product, or a tobacco additive is provided herein. The methods of dehydration disclosed herein can provide various benefits relative to traditional drying techniques, including providing retention of various beneficial components present in green tobacco (e.g., organoleptic compounds and proteins). Smoking articles and other tobacco products including such dehydrated tobacco materials are also provided.
