Identification of Five Strains of Bacteria Isolated from the Fermented Tobacco Leaves and Microbial Effects of them for the Quality Enhancement of the Greenish Tobacco Leaves.

발효담배에서 세균의 동정 및 그 세균처리가 청취엽품질에 미치는 영향

In order to improve the quality of greenish tobacco leaves, fermentation experiments by microbial treatment and periodical variations of fermentation temperature were performed. More than twenty strains were isolated from Hyangcho ( Sun cured Korean native leaves ) and Perique tobacco leaves. Among them, five strains which showed good growth in Nicotine Broth medium were selected. Identification experiments of these strains as well as checking the effects of fermentation by these treatment on the quality and aging rate of greenish tobacco leaves were carried out. The results were like following ; 1. Selected strains were identified as pseudomona.f for H-82, for P-4 and Bacillus for H-81. p- 4 and P-7. 2. Among the five strains, strain H- 82 showed the best effect on the forced aging and the quality of greenish tobacco leaves, The rate of oxygen uptaking, pH and nicotine contents were decreased. However, total volatile acids and petroleum ether extracts were increased. 3. After fermentation, taste from greenish tobacco leaf were removed and smoking characteristics were improved. Color was also changed from greenish yellow to dark brown.

香草 醱酵葉과 Perique葉으로 부터 細菌을 분리하여 니코틴- 분해능과 생육상태를 조사한후 우수 세균을 선발하였다. 선발세균은 H- 81, P- 5, P- 7은 Bacillus, H- 82 : Pseudomonas. P- 4 : Corynebacterium으로 동정하였다. 이들 細菌을 靑臭葉에 처리 발효한 결과 대체로 산소흡수량과 pH, 니코틴이 낮아졌고 휘발성 유기산, 석유에텔추출물이 증가되었다. 한편 色澤은 黃淸色에서 黑褐色으로 變化되었으며 靑臭味도 除去되고 그에 따른 香喫味도 좋아졌으나 특히 H-82인 Pseudomonas가 가장 양호한 결과를 나타내었다.
