Abstract：In order to explore the feasibility of using color parameters to estimate tobacco curing characteristics during ripening process,the middle leaves of flue-cured tobacco NC55 were used as test materials.The color parameters of tobacco leaves with different maturity were determined by colorimeter,and the baking characteristics of fresh leaves were studied by black box test.The relationships between color parameters and baking characteristics were studied by analyzing the relationship between color parameters and maturity,maturity and baking characteristics.The results showed that the L*,b * and C * values of two sides showed increasing trends with the increase of maturity of tobacco leaves.The a* value first increased,then decreased,and increased after that.The H * value decreased continuously.With the increase of maturity,the tobacco leaves were easier to bake,but worse to endure baking.In conclusion,the tobacco leaves with different maturity had different baking characteristics,so color parameters could be used as quantitative indicators of their baking characteristics.
