Abstract: The GALT (Expand) process is a parallel process in the manufacturing of cigarettes which converts the cut tobacco at moisture content of about 26% to expand tobacco by treating it with liquid and gas CO2 in pressure vessel at 23 bars. The tobacco moisture content is increased from 11% to 13.5% and this is blended back in the production line at any conventional step. The expanded tobacco should have a firm value (fill value) of 75cc/10gm, which is according to the estimated sensory and delivery targets of consumers. But the firm value observed in the process is in between 65-85cc/10gm. the co-relations study were made between firm value and variation parameters in graphical and theoretical method.
