Abstract：In order to improve the application characteristics of microwave expanded cut stem blended in cigarette,a research was developed on analyzing the tendency of cigarette critical-to-quality characteristic which mainly include the physical property and sensory quality.The results of instrumental analysis and sensory evaluation turned out that:The draw resistance and hardness increased with the blending ration of microwave expanded cut stem.The weight of microwave expanded cut stem blended cigarette was 37 mg lighter when it had the same draw resistance and hardness .What’s more,there was no significant differ-ence in tobacco loss from cigarette end and the sensory quality of microwave expanded cut stem blended cigarette was better than the traditional one.The application of microwave expanded tobacco stem not only improved the sensory quality but also reduced the tobacco shred consumption of single-box,increasing the effects of reducing the tar and harmful components.
