Abstract

The quality of threshed and redried tobacco strips directly affects the processing effects of cigarette making and the quality of cigarettes. However, there is a lack of effective comprehensive evaluation methods for quality. This study selected samples of threshed and redried tobacco strips from the 2017 to 2022 seasons provided by nine redrying factories commissioned by Sichuan Zhongyan. Multiple quality indicators of the samples were tested, and the improved TOPSIS method was applied to calculate the comprehensive quality index of the finished tobacco strips, providing a comprehensive evaluation of their quality. The results indicate: (1) There are significant differences in various quality indicators and the comprehensive quality index of finished tobacco strips processed by different factories in the same season. The ranking of TOPSIS relative closeness for different factories is H > F > A > D > G > E > C > I > B. (2) The overall quality trend of finished tobacco strips processed by the same factory in different seasons is improving, but there is a certain degree of fluctuation. The ranking of TOPSIS relative closeness for different flue-curing seasons is: 2018 > 2022 > 2020 > 2017 > 2019 > 2021. (3) The quality of finished tobacco strips from different processing batches in the same season and factory is basically stable, with minor fluctuations in some indicators between batches. The ranking of TOPSIS relative closeness for different batches is: first batch > third batch > second batch. Overall, there are significant differences in the quality of finished tobacco strips from different factories in the same season, the quality of finished tobacco strips from the same factory in different seasons tends to improve, and the quality of finished tobacco strips from different processing batches in the same season and factory is basically stable, indicating the effectiveness of this method. The application of this method by cigarette industrial enterprises for comprehensive evaluation of the quality of threshed and redried tobacco strips is beneficial for a comprehensive understanding of the quality of tobacco strips processed by different factories, providing a basis for selecting processing points and establishing regional processing centers. It is also conducive to scientifically assessing the stability of processing quality between years and batches at each factory, and promptly proposing improvement suggestions for identified deficiencies. By optimizing the threshing and redrying processing points and establishing regional processing centers, the quality of the raw materials and the stability of the processing procedures for cigarettes can be monitored and ensured, thereby enhancing the sensory quality and consistency of the cigarettes.
