Supercritical CO2 extraction has proven effective in enhancing tobacco quality. This method reduces the nicotine content in tobacco by approximately 5% without significantly altering its taste. Researchers have explored its potential to improve tobacco quality further by reducing harmful components. Studies show that supercritical CO2 extraction can decrease about 20% of tar precursors and around 5% of nicotine, all while maintaining the original taste profile of the tobacco leaves.
Using ethanol as an entrainer, supercritical CO2 extraction reduces nicotine levels specifically in the upper leaves of tobacco plants. This extraction process has minimal impact on the tobacco leaves' total sugar, reducing sugar, total nitrogen, chlorine, and protein content. It enhances the smoothness and softness of the smoke, reduces harshness, lowers impurities, and improves aftertaste, all without noticeably affecting the tobacco's aroma concentration.
