To improved the tobacco qualities, the tobacco leaves are treated by bulk-sweating method for 6 month and are compared with non-treated leaves by the chemical analysis and organoleptic sensory test. The following results are obtained.
1) The component of total nitrogen, alkaloid and sugar are decreased to 0.4, 1.2, 6.2 and pHO.8 respectively.
2) The ether extract, volatile and non-volatile organic acid are increased to 2.3, 0.8% and 99.2% respectively.
3) amylase and -amylase are decreased to half one to quarter respectively.
4) The organoleptic sensory test that tobacco qualities are superior to non- treated samples.
