Abstract: The experiment was designed to study the effect of baking tobacco leaves with stem on leaf quality and economic indexes of indifferent maturity tobaccos leaves. Results showed that, compared with conventional baking treatment, the rate of first-class tobacco leaves baked with stem, from fully mature, part mature and immature tobaccos leaves treatment, increased by 6.0, 8.7 and 16.9 percentage points, respectively. Weight of single baked leaf decreased by 0.6~1.1 g, and the baked fully mature leaves decreased less than the baked part mature and immature tobaccos leaves. Thickness of single baked leaf decreased by 0.04~0.08 mm compared with conventional baking treatment. The content of reducing sugar in baked tobacco leaves from fully mature and immature tobaccos leaves treatment increased 2.38 and 2.33 percentage points, respectively, whereas that from part mature tobaccos leaves treatment decreased 1.48 percentage points compared with conventional baking treatment. Additionally, tobacco appearance and sensory quality were improved, the quality, quantity and concentration of tobacco aroma were all increased. The study indicated that, compared with conventional baking, baking tobacco leaves with stem improved the appearance and internal quality, as well as economic profit of insufficiently mature tobacco leaves, and therefore increased the usage of upper tobacco leaves.

Key words: baking tobacco leaves with stem, maturity, upper tobacco leaves, tobacco leaf quality, economic index
