摘要：Whole leaf tobacco can be processed to yield a sheet-like product which can beused to yield cut filler for the manufacture of cigarettes. Whole leaf tobacco includingstem is shredded and contacted with a binding agent in dry form. The essentially drymixture is shear agitated in the presence of moisture less than about 30 percent, based

on the total weight of moisture, binding agent and tobacco. The sheared mixture ispassed through a roller system to provide compressive treatment to the mixture. Theprocessed mixture is further formed into a sheet-like shape. Tobacco material can beprovided using low amounts of binding agent, using energy efficient processing steps,and without waste of tobacco material.
