Freeze-Drying Has Potential
The freeze-drying method
of processing cured flue-cured
tobacco, now being develop-''
ed at North Carolina State
University, could have bene
ficial^ effects for every seg
ment of the tobacco industry,
including the grower.
"If these potentials are
realized, it seems that the
impact on the industry, from
grower to consumer, would
be significantly great and ben
eficial." said Dr. Kenneth R.
Keller, director of the N. C.
State tobacco research pro
gram.
He said the research on the.
freeze-drying method of pro
cessing. which is in the pre
liminary stages, will be jcon
tinued by Dr. William H.
Johnson, project leader, and
that evaluations of the manu
factured product will be
made. "We have been very
encouraged by what we Jmve
found so far," Dr. Keller
commented.
The freeze-drying process
Dr. Johnson is developing in
creases the filling capacity of
the flue-cured tobacco. The
amount of tobacco needed to
make a cigarette would be
reduced. Therefore, the nico
tine and tar contents of a
cigarette may be reduced in
proportion to the reduction
in the amount of tobacco
used.
The process may give the
manufacturer more flexibility
in modifying the raw product
tiian he has had before. It
might be possible to maintain
a blend even if the tobacco
being processed changed, for
example, from low stalk or
thin leaf to up-stalk or heav
ier bodied leaf.
Dr. Keller pointed out,
however, that there is a con
tinued need to produce high
quality tobacco.' In addition,
since the process involves
f r e eze-drying the tobacco
after it has been cured, no
change in the grower's pro
duction or curing practices
would be affected.
Some concern has been
expressed over the possibility
that, because of its higher
filling value, the freeze-dried
tobacco could reduce demand
and affect production. Dr.
Kel. j believe* an opposite
effect ii more likely.
Giving hit reaaona for mak
ing this assumption, Or. Kel
ler outlined the following
points:
??There is a distinct pos
sibility that the new proces
sing method could; make
some important contribution
to the development of an
even more desirable cigarette.
Such a development, It would
be reasonable to assume,
could help maintain or boost
consumption.
-Flue-cured tobacco has
been penalized for its relative
ly low filling capacity in that
some of the higher filling
tobaccos have been replacing
part of the flue-cured content
in c i garette blends. The
freeze- dried product would
have a higher Tilling capacity
and. theoretically, could be
used for this new physical
characteristic as well as for
aroma and flavor.
- Should freeze-dried to
bacco be used, it is antici
pated that it would constitute
only a small percentage of the
t o b acco in the cigarette
blend.
Said Dr. Keller. 'The
grower's stake in any new
development in the tobacco
industry is a* large or larger
than anyone's. I can under
stand his immediate concern
when it is suggested that the
tobacco content of cigarettes
may be reduced. However,
when we look at this new
research finding objectively
and consider its ultimate po
tential to make significant
contributions in a number of
areas, I believe anyone con
nected with the tobacco In
dustry, including most impor
tantly the grower, will be
encouraged."
Smug As A Rug
Weather reports from the
previous tt>me town of a man
and his wife reported severe
cold weather and heavy
snows. Feeling a little smug
over the pleasant warm cli
mate they now lived in, they
couldn't resist sending a color
snap shot back to one of their
old neighbors which showed
gay blooming flowers, the
two of them laughing- and
lounging on a beautiful lawn
and the husband leaning
against a power lawn mower.
On the back of the picture
was written: "Taken on New
Year's Day."
The following week they
received a reply back from
the old neighbors who sent
along a snap shot of the two
sitting before a cozy fire with
a beautiful shepherd dog[ at
the husband's feet. There was
an enclosed note which read:
"A darn shame you're still
cutting grass in January."
