In the leaf, the C line contained less total alkaloids but more nornicotine than the HN line, suggesting that some may have been converted to nornicotine during leaf growth. The conversion phenomenon was not observed in the root. The root tissues of the LN line showed a high rate of nicotine decomposition at the inception of curing. On the basis of F1 results, both total alkaloids and nicotine conversion are governed by dominant factors. An intermediate nornicotine / nicotine ratio for the cured leaves of the LN and C hybrids indicated the presence of converter modifiers in the LN line. In the C line and its hybrids the decrease of nicotine content mainly occurred at the beginning of curing, whereas the nornicotine increase appeared after the eighth day of curing.

Studies of cell fractions of Burley 21 leaves yielded information that bands A, C, D, G, and J are present in the cytoplasm, whereas all but bands B, E, L, and M appeared to be identical in the chloroplast, mitochondrial, and nuclear extracts. The resemblance in protein banding pattern among the organelles indicates similarity in their membrane proteins. Bands B, E, L, and M are associated with plasma membrane or cell wall. During simulated air-curing, a majority of bands diminished by the tenth day, whereas bands B, E, and G remained highly intense and the concentration of band C was reduced in cured leaves. Bands B, E, and G reacted positively with the periodic-acid Schiff's reagent (PAS) but negatively with the colloidal ion staining.

With the use of a logarithmic scale as basis for the hardness or filling difference, this relation was shown to be linear, which made it possible, based on all results of the experiment, to determine the threshold values of hardness for the capacity of differentiating sensorially.

{"title":"Chemical Studies on Tobacco Smoke. IX: Quantitative Analysis of Chlorinated Hydrocarbon Insecticides","authors":"Dietrich Hoffmann, G. Rathkamp, Ernest L. Wynder","doi":"10.2478/cttr-2013-0228","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2478/cttr-2013-0228","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract An analytical method was developed for the qualitative and quantitative determination of chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides in tobacco products. It is based on three consecutive liquid-liquid distributions, followed by column chromatography on deactivated alumina. This procedure leads to a degree of enrichment which permits the direct assessment of the insecticides by gas chromatography. For the isolation and identification of the individual components the column chromatography endfractions are separated by gas chromatography and collected from the effluent of the column. These materials are used for mass spectrometric analysis. For the quantitative analysis C14-labelled DDT is employed as internal standard and the amount of insecticides is determined with the aid of a gas chromatograph with an electron capture detector with a sensitivity for chlorinated insecticides of 1 nanogram (10-9 g). In 1.0 g cigarette tobacco were found 11.7 µg 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane [DDD]; 4.8 µg 1,1-dichloro-2-(o-chlorophenyl)-2-(p´-chlorophenyl)ethane [o,p´-DDD]; 7.8 µg 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane [DDT] and 3.6 µg of an admixture of 1,1,1-trichloro-2-(o-chlorophenyl)-2-(p´-chlorophenyl)ethane [o,p´-DDT] and 1,1-dichloro-2-(m-chlorophenyl)-2-(p´-chlorophenyl)ethane [m,p´-DDD]. The mainstream smoke of an 85 mm U.S. blended cigarette without filter tip contained 1.75 µg DDD, 0.45 µg o,p´-DDD, 0.81 µg DDM, 0.77 µg DDT, 0.70 µg o,p´-DDT plus m,p´-DDD, 0.21 µg 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene and 0.21 µg 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene [DDE] and 1.52 µg trans-4,4´-dichlorostilbene [trans-DCS]. Endrin was neither detected in cigarette smoke nor in commercial U.S. tobacco samples purchased during the winter 1967-68. The transfer rates for unchanged chlorinated insecticides from cigarette tobacco into mainstream smoke were 18 % for DDD, 11.6 % for o,p´-DDD and 12.4 % for DDT. The extraction of tobacco with n-hexane does not yield a complete extraction of chlorinated insecticides. A study in which a single leaf of a tobacco plant was sprayed with C14-labelled DDT indicated that the insecticide to some degree permeates the tobacco plant by diffusion into the lower layers of the leaf. In tobacco smoke condensate, which is exposed to sunlight or white laboratory light, one pyrolysis product of DDD and DDT, trans-4,4´dichlorostilbene, is photoisomerized to its cis-isomer. In an in vitro test cis-4,4´-dichlorostilbene was found to be dehydrogenated in air up to 0.5 % to 3,6-dichlorophenanthrene. Pyrolysis experiments at 880°C with DDD and DDT have been discussed briefly. In addition to components already found in cigarette smoke, chlorobenzene, the highly reactive 9-methylenefluorene and tentatively 1-chloro-2,2-(p-chlorophenyl)ethane as well as 3,6-dichloro-9-chloromethylfluorene were identified in the pyrolyzate. The findings of this study are compared with earlier investigations and discussed in respect to t","PeriodicalId":35431,"journal":{"name":"Beitrage zur Tabakforschung International/ Contributions to Tobacco Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1969-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84247517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These are switching and amplifier elements operated by means of low-pressure air and suitable for setting up logic circuits. This new line of technology, fluidics, also may be usefully applied to tobacco processing. This report therefore is intended as a preliminary guidance into the subject. An introductory chapter compiles the necessary basic features of control technics as far as these may be helpful to the understanding of the following description of fluidic elements. The first part of the main chapter deals with fluidics in general. Out of the variety of the different types only the two most important ones are considered: the jet-deflection and the turbulence affected fluidics. Design and functioning of both types are thoroughly discussed. The second part of the main chapter displays some applications in the field of tobacco processing. For the control of tobacco rod filling, emphasis is laid especially on the principle of measurement, whereas signal-controlled processing is only dealt with in short. A detailed description of the further processing of the signal is given for the example of a cigarette end scanner. Inspection at a packer on availability of all materials finds a particularly fine solution when applying turbulence-affected fluidics. In addition, a further example shows level control of fluids in storage tanks. In conclusion, some comparisons of fluidic elements against each other as well as against other control elements are given.","PeriodicalId":35431,"journal":{"name":"Beitrage zur Tabakforschung International/ Contributions to Tobacco Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1969-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78594402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of fatty materials (T-43 and T-148) include immediate swelling of the nucleus and then a general cessation of cell division. Penar caused enlargement of differentiating cells and nuclear fragmentation or duplication, a higher frequency of binucleate cells was found to be induced by Penar than T-148 or even MH-30.
