  • Systems and Apparatus for Reducing Tobacco-Specific Nitrosamines in Dark-Fire Cured Tobacco Through Electronic Control of Curing Conditions
    Publication number: 20170055565
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and apparatus for dark-fire curing of tobacco. Specially, the present invention provides a central control system for controlling and adjusting conditions within a structure utilized for curing dark-fired tobacco, for example by remotely turning the ventilation fan on or off.
