CTRI TRIES OUT LPG FOR CURING TOBACCO

Article Abstract:

The Central Tobacco Research Institute (CTRI) of Rajahmundry has tried using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in the place of wood for curing tobacco. The CTRI unit in Hunsur is also using LPG for curing tobacco. The ILTD division of ITC Ltd is financing the gas curing project. The cost of wood accounts for 40 percent of the production cost. The colour and appearance of tobacco is good when LPG is used as the heat produced is uniform. (rk)
