Abstract

A method for producing sclareol by fermentation of cigar tobacco flower buds is provided, including: mixing cigar tobacco flower buds with deionized water, sterilizing and adding edible yeast, then fermenting at 25-30° C. and 100-300 rpm/min for 24-30 h. This method uses cigar tobacco flower buds as the sole raw material, without adding additional nutrients, and only ferments tobacco flower buds with edible yeast to synthesize sclareol. Meanwhile, this method has extremely high synthesis efficiency.
