Abstract：In order to investigate the influence of compound humectants on expanded cut tobacco,casing mode before expansion was used.Expanded cut tobacco was prepared by 0.1%compound humectants and then expanded.Physical indexes,sensory quality and moisture retentivity were compared.The results indi-cated that:physical indexes were enhanced obviously,the long cut rate increased from 43.4%to 50.8%, the whole cut rate increased from 69.7% to 74.1%,the filling value increased from 2.163 mm/g to 2. 463 mm/g,the broken cut rate was reduced from 2.8% to 2.1%;sensory quality of expanded cut to-bacco increased from 65.0 point to 68.8 point;moisture retentivity was improved visibly,balanced mois- <br> ture content was elevated and speed of dehydration was decreased.
