Fermentation-driven microbial and metabolic shifts in filler tobacco leaves of different grades
This study demonstrates that FTLs of different grades exhibit distinct patterns of microbial succession and metabolic remodeling during fermentation. The initial leaf grade plays a pivotal role in shaping microbial communities and metabolite accumulation. These findings offer mechanistic insights into the fermentation process of FTLs and provide theoretical and practical guidance for optimizing raw material grading and fermentation management in the cigar industry.
