A high yield cellulase production strain was screened from the surface of cigar wrapper leaves and added to cigar wrapper leaves for fermentation in the present study. The enzyme-producing strain was identified as Bacillus velezensis, and its maximum carboxymethyl cellulase activity could reach 44.3 U/mL. Making the cellulose degradation rate of cigar wrapper leaves as the index, the fermentation temperature, inoculum concentration, and carbon and nitrogen source addition concentration were optimized by response surface methodology. The results showed that under the conditions of inoculation concentration of 20%, fermentation temperature of 37 °C, addition of 4.5 ‰ glucose and 2.25 ‰ glutamate, the highest degradation rate of tobacco cellulose was 31.7%. Significance analysis results showed that the order of factors affecting the degradation rate of cigar wrapper cellulose was: inoculation concentration > carbon and nitrogen source addition concentration > temperature. The analysis of aroma substances under the optimal conditions found that the total amount of aroma substances of cigar wrapper increased by 26.1% compared with that before fermentation, in which β-damascenone, megastigmatrienone, farnesyl acetone, and solanone were significantly improved. The results were conducive to improving the aroma quality and concentration of cigar wrapper leaves.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
