ABSTRACT:
An improvement is provided in an apparatus having an air flow system into which tobacco is injected for treatment with a flavorant and withdrawn after contact with the flavorant carried by the air flow system. The apparatus is provided with a vaporizer for vaporizing molten flavorant into the air flow by spray injecting molten flavorant countercurrently into a flow of heated air. The apparatus is also provided with an analyzer downstream of the vaporizing means for determining the amount of flavorant vapor in the air flow. A regulator is connected to the vaporizer for regulating the amount of flavorant injected into the air flow in response to the determination made by the analyzer of the level of flavorant vapor contained in the air flow.
