Applying SCB technology to tobacco industry will result in the great quality improvement of existing products as well as the creation of new product range or brand names. With the addition of certain amount of SCB bio-liquid to the fermentation phase of tobacco manufacturing, not only can reduce the required fermentation time but also the tobacco leave will become softer and less fragile. As a result, the filling process will be more efficient with reduced shrinkage and cost. It was found that the cigarettes were manufactured by using the SCB technology contained less tar or other toxic elements and, tasted better and milder when being smoked. Due to the enhanced anti-fungi action, the cigarettes treated with the SCB bio-liquid can be kept longer without quality deterioration. It is expected that the adoption of SCB technology to tobacco industry will benefit both manufacturers and consumers.
