The present disclosure relates to cellulose nanomaterials made or derived from tobacco and methods for the production thereof. The tobacco-derived cellulose nanomaterials can be employed in various industrial applications such as film forming applications and solution thickening technologies. In particular, the disclosure is directed to methods for preparing tobacco-derived cellulose nanomaterials using less fibrillation cycles than in the production of wood pulp. The invention includes a method for preparing tobacco derived nanocellulose material comprising receiving a tobacco pulp in a dilute form such that the tobacco pulp is a tobacco pulp suspension with a consistency of less than about 5%; and mechanically fibrillating the tobacco pulp suspension to generate a tobacco derived nanocellulose material having at least one average particle size dimension in the range of about 1 nm to about 100 nm.

A tobacco cut filler comprises a first tobacco material cut in accordance with a first cut specification, wherein the first cut specification sets at least predetermined first cut width and first cut length.

A method for improving a sensory quality of a cut rolled stem using a Ganoderma lucidum fermentation broth is provided, including: subjecting Ganoderma lucidum to first-stage cultivation and second-stage expanded cultivation to obtain an extracellular enzyme-containing fungal solution, and filtering the extracellular enzyme-containing fungal solution with a plate and frame filter to obtain a clear fermentation broth without obvious solids; applying the fermentation broth to a tobacco stem or a cut rolled stem, and allowing solid-state fermentation to obtain a fermented tobacco stem or cut rolled stem; and subjecting the fermented tobacco stem or cut rolled stem to expansion, inactivation, and excess water removal. After the fermentation, cell wall substances such as lignin and cellulose are degraded and utilized, which reduces the occurrence of undesirable smells such as a woody smell and a pungent odor, and improves a sensory quality of the cut rolled stem.
