ABSTRACT:
The present invention entails a method for curing and drying tobacco wherein the initial phase of the curing and drying process, that is the yellowing phase, is accelerated by the simultaneous application of ethylene and heat. In particular, the process of the present invention entails coloring the tobacco at a temperature range of 100.degree.-120.degree. F. and actually applying a concentration of ethylene to the tobacco while the tobacco is subjected to this coloring temperature range.
