Abstract

A producing method of a tobacco raw material containing a flavor constituent, comprises: a step A for heating a tobacco raw material in a closed space which is treated with alkali and for taking a flavor constituent released in the gas phase from the tobacco raw material to an outside of the closed space; a step B for allowing a first solvent to capture the flavor constituent by bringing the flavor constituent released in the gas phase in the step A into contact with the first solvent which is a liquid substance at normal temperature on the outside of the closed space; a step C for supplying a second solvent to the tobacco raw material in the closed space after the step A and for taking a normal component which is released as the liquid phase from the tobacco raw material to the second solvent, together with the second solvent to the outside of the closed space; and after the steps B and C, the step D for adding the first solvent capturing the flavor constituent in the step B to the tobacco raw material from which the flavor constituent is released to the outside of the closed space in the step A.
