Zusammenfassung:A process is disclosed for producing sheet-like material for smoking which includes the steps of: culturing a fragment of a plant body of the genus Nicotiana in a liquid medium under aerobic conditions to derive tobacco cells suspended in the liquid, filtering the cultured broth containing the tobacco cells or the same mixed with fibrous materials and/or inorganic materials through a gauze of 50-120 mesh or filter cloth, so as to form a sheet-like cake having a thickness corresponding to dried weight above 50 g./m2 and drying said sheet-like cake. Additionally, a process is disclosed for producing rod-like material for smoking which includes the steps of: culturing a fragment of a plant body of the genus Nicotiana in a liquid medium under aerobic conditions, to derive tobacco cells suspended in the liquid, separating the tobacco cells from the cultured broth, mixing the tobacco cells with tobacco leaf substances and/or fibrous materials and/or inorganic materials to form a paste with a moisture content of 80-93 percent, casting the paste into a rod-shape and freeze-drying said rod-shaped paste. The produce has excellent physical properties and the cigarettes made thereof have light and good organoleptic properties.
