Are you sure you are using right tobacco, @Amjaf? Nicotiana tabacum varieties are not suitable for naswar, like the one if this photo (Shaheen). https://ibb.co/sVpBLXq You need to use Nicotiana rustica!

Volunge pls share ur whatup number
Thatshychef we use propylene glycol but it not works. The result is same
@Amjaf what exactly is the result? You wrote that it goes bad after few days, but its not possible. It is the fermentation process that makes snuff smell different and it gets darker. Its usually a good sign. But I have no idea how oral snuff is supposed to be made.
Johano the snuff becomes spoil after few days. Thats a problem with me
@Amjaf, I don’t use a phone. Feel free to post here (or PM).
We cannot understand what exactly do you mean by “spoiled”? Plain naswar always stinks, fresh it reeks of ammonia. It’s OK! I would be very disappointed if my naswar or chemma reached me ammonia-free. You can scent it with essential oil, if scented naswar is a thing in your region.
Rustica tobacco doesn’t change the colour that easy. Oral naswar, even that of the so-called “black” kind, is far from being even dark. It’s khaki (greenish-brown). If your naswar turned black, something is wrong either with the ingredients (or proportion), or with the process (or both), but believe me, you do not need preservatives for this tobacco product, when the tek is right. If you have wrong recipe, use bad ingredients or run the process in a wrong way, preservatives won’t do any wonder!
Adding alkalis to regular tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) turns it dark or even close to black. The smell also changes dramatically. If you use Nicotiana rustica, darkening doesn’t happen.
Also, you need to use slaked lime.
Besides Maghrebian chemma, another nice example of preservatives-free Nicotiana rustica oral product is Turkish naswai - Marash otu. Composition is very simple: Nicotiana rustica, oak ash (1:1) and water. Moisture content - around 50%.

Impossible to fail. You don’t need preservatives.
I try to post picture of my naswar but not loading
Its fresh naswar
Spoil means snuff smell and color change
I think its bacteria which spoil the naswar
What about salt (sodium chloride)? Dont see it in your list of ingredients and salt is an essential ingredient. It moderates and slows fermentation and also acts as a preservative.
@Amjaf, you can upload pictures on https://imgbb.com/ and post the link here. It seems that uploading pictures directly to the message board doesn’t work.
You are probably using insufficient amount of alkalis. Try this formula (all ingredients by weight):
Tobacco 38%
Water 38%
Ash 15%
Lime 5%
Guar gum 4%
I’m not sure if the amount of guar gum is right, but this ingredient is unknown to me. Make three small test batches following my suggested formula with reduced guar content (4%, 3%, 2%; indicated by weight).
What tobacco are you using for this product?
