Abstract：As an important part of tobacco leaf,tobacco stem has high filling value,well combustibility.Its physical and chemical property,sensory quality were improved after expanded by microwave.The paper made an overview of process of tobacco stem microwave expansion equipment influential factors,and application of processing technology in cigarette for microwave expanded stem,pointing out that the future research should be mainly from the following prospects: 1)optimizing the key processing parameters of microwave expanded stem and building models between parameters and quality index of cut stem;2)using biochemical and flavoring technology to improve the sensory quality of cut stem;3)developing the study of biomass material for microwave expanded stem;4)combining with cigarette auxiliary materials,comprehensively analysing the effect of cut stem on reducing tar and harm of cigarette;5)research and development and industrial applications to match the tobacco stem microwave expansion equipment.
