    摘要: A method of producing a liquid tobacco extract, the method including the steps of: preparing a tobacco material; applying an alkaline solution to the tobacco material to produce an alkalised tobacco material; heating the alkalised tobacco material at an extraction temperature of between 100 degrees Celsius and 160 degrees Celsius for at least 30 minutes, the alkalised tobacco material being heated in a flow of inert gas or in a flow of a combination of an inert gas with water or steam, and a water content of the alkalised tobacco material, prior to the heating step, being between 10 percent by weight and 20 percent by weight; condensing volatile compounds released from the alkalised tobacco material during the heating step and collecting condensate of the volatile compounds; and forming a liquid tobacco extract comprising the condensate of the volatile compounds.
