Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0242271A1] An improvement to the papermaking process for reconstituting tobacco, in which the strong liquor is aromatised by fermentation with a yeast before being employed for reimpregnating the base sheet, and the aromatised reconstituted tobaccos obtained by this process. After tobacco fragments have been kept in aqueous solution in a digester (10, 11), the strong liquor is separated from the fibres in a press (12), and the fibres are then treated separately to form a base sheet. <IMAGE>
