采后上部烟叶干燥过程水分扩散能力与流动性的关系

Relationship between moisture diffusion ability and mobility of harvested upper tobacco leaf during drying

  • 摘要: 【目的】 探究采后上部烟叶干燥过程水分扩散能力与流动性的关系,为揭示烟叶干燥过程水分迁移扩散机理提供理论依据。【方法】 以上部烟叶为试验材料,进行不同温度(35、40、45、50、55、60和65 ℃)干燥试验,分析采后烟叶、叶片和主脉的干燥特性及水分扩散系数,利用低场核磁共振技术检测叶片和主脉水分状态变化。【结果】 烟叶、叶片和主脉的含水率在干燥初期下降较快,后期下降较慢,均呈典型的降速干燥特征,叶片干燥速率大于主脉。烟叶、叶片和主脉的水分扩散系数均随着温度及含水率的升高呈增大趋势,主脉的水分扩散能力远大于叶片。随着干燥过程的进行,叶片和主脉自由水的弛豫时间均逐渐减小,表明其流动性逐渐减弱,而干燥过程中主脉的自由水的流动性强于叶片。干燥开始时叶片和主脉中均以自由水含量较高,随着含水率的降低,自由水含量同步下降,表明自由水的散失主导了叶片和主脉的干燥过程,而叶片和主脉的半结合水含量在中后期或后期才明显下降。叶片和主脉的水分扩散系数与自由水含量及其弛豫时间均呈极显著正相关(P<0.01),可利用自由水流动性的强弱衡量叶片和主脉水分扩散能力的大小。【结论】 采后烟叶及其叶片和主脉的干燥过程受内部水分扩散控制,其水分扩散能力主要与温度、含水率及自由水流动性有关。

     

    Abstract: 【Objective】 The relationship between moisture diffusion ability and mobility of harvested upper tobacco leaf was investigated to provide theoretical basis for revealing their mechanism of moisture migration and diffusion during drying. 【Method】 The upper tobacco leaf was used as experimental material. The drying features,moisture diffusion coefficient of tobacco leaf,blade and main vein were investigated by drying experiments with different temperatures(35, 40,45,50,55,60 and 65 ℃),and the moisture state changes of blade and main vein were detected by low field nuclear magnetic resonance. 【Result】 The moisture content of tobacco leaf,blade and main vein decreased rapidly in the early stage of drying and decreased slowly in the later stage of drying,all showing typical features of falling rate drying. The drying rate of blade was larger than that of main vein. The moisture diffusion coefficients of tobacco leaf,blade and main vein all increased with the increase of temperature and moisture content,and the moisture diffusion ability of main vein was much larger than that of blade. As the drying progressed,the relaxation time of free water in both blade and main vein gradually reduced,indicating a weakened water mobility. However,the mobility of free water in main vein was stronger than that in blade. The free water content in both blade and main vein was at a high level at the beginning of drying. The free water content reduced synchronously as the moisture content decreased,indicating that the loss of free water dominated the drying blade and main vein,while the semi-bound water in blade and main vein only decreased greatly in the middle or late stages. The moisture diffusion coefficients of blade and main vein were extremely significantly positively correlated with the moisture content and relaxation time of free water(P<0.01),which suggested that the mobility of free water could be used to evaluate the moisture diffusion ability of blades and main veins. 【Conclusion】 The drying of harvested tobacco leaf,blade and main vein is controlled by internal moisture diffusion,and their moisture diffusion ability mainly relate to temperature,moisture content and mobility of free water.
