烟草在线据《烟业通讯》报道编译　　帝国烟草在其瑞典的鼻烟工厂内设立了一个实验室——首次在现场能对产品进行测试。

　　此前，该工厂鼻烟产品的评估是由帝国烟草位于德国汉堡和法国Fleury-les-Aubrais的科学家进行的。

　　“我们在赛夫舍工厂新开发的实验室，减少了产品测试和核准所需要的时间，这意味着它们可以更迅速地抵达消费者手中，”帝国烟草在一篇新闻稿中称。

　　“这还能进一步巩固我们对鼻烟知识的掌握，支持我们在无烟领域进行创新和提高产品质量。”

　　“对于鼻烟来说，拥有专门的制造和测试程序是有必要的，因为其生产采取的是一种称之为加热-发汗（heat-sweating）的独特方法，与巴氏灭菌法类似，对卫生条件要求很高.”

　　Imperial Tobacco has opened a laboratory at its snus factory in Sweden – allowing product testing to take place on site for the first time.

　　Previously, the assessment of the factory's snus products was carried out by scientists based at Imperial's testing facilities in Hamburg, Germany, and Fleury-les-Aubrais, France.

　　"The development of the new lab at our factory in Sävsjö cuts the time needed to test and approve products, meaning they can reach consumers more quickly," Imperial said in a press note.

　　"It also enhances our ability to further build our knowledge of snus and support our work to drive innovation and quality in the smokeless sector.

　　"Specific manufacturing and testing procedures are essential for snus because it's produced using a unique method called heat-sweating, which is similar to pasteurisation and demands high levels of hygiene."
