The acid levels are increased markedly when unfiltered smoke is alkalinized to pH 8.2 using dipropylamine as the cigarette additive. The variability of the analytical method prevented detection of small degrees of selective filtration of the acids. Although indications of selective removal were obtained in smoke of pH 4.2-7.9, using cellulose acetate filters with or without activated carbon, the variability did not permit a firm demonstration of this effect with one exception: a distinct selective removal of acetic acid was observed in smoke of pH 4.2 using a multiple filter. The use of formic acid as a cigarette additive to lower the pH of unfiltered smoke results in a significant increase in the major phenols therein. No change in levels of smoke phenols is observed when dipropylamine is used as a cigarette additive to alkalinize the smoke. An increase in selective removal of smoke phenols occurs when smoke pH is depressed from 5.8-6.1 to 4.4-4.9 using filters of cellulose acetate with or without activated carbon. Selectivity is lost when smoke pH is raised to 7.9 using the alkaline cigarette additive.","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":"84511644","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 observed differences between the level of phenol from tobacco and borate-treated tobacco can be at least partially attributed to the effect of borate salts on the pyrolysis of lignin and cellulose. It must be emphasized, however, that the contribution of cellulose and lignin to the formation of phenol and cresols obtained from the pyrolysis of tobacco should not be quantitatively compared with the level of phenol and cresols obtained from the pyrolysis of pure cellulose and lignin. This is also true of borate-treated cellulose and borate-treated lignin.

The molecular weights of subfractions of the pigment are variable when the pigment is immediately isolated from freshly prepared condensate. Storage of condensate results in a higher proportion of high molecular weight subfraction in the pigment in all cases. Both leaf and condensate pigments sublime at high temperature and low pressure yielding a sublimate that contains some subfractions with molecular weights of the same general magnitude as those in the isolated condensate pigment. Nicotine may be acquired as a moiety in the condensate pigment through artifact reactions in the collection system or during the isolation. However, the nicotine acquired in this way apparently represents a very small amount of the total saponifiable nicotine in the pigment. The acetic acid moiety of the condensate pigment is not acquired by such artifact reactions. Although part of the condensate pigment structure may be formed through reactions in the collection system or during isolation, no evidence was obtained that the condensate pigment is largely an artifact.","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":"86106685","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}

Transfer or elution was slight when air was puffed through the filter, but appreciable when smoke was puffed through it. Elution is proposed to take place as a result of a compound's vapourizing from a fiber and, instead of recondensing on the fiber, being trapped by an aerosol particle which subsequently escapes from the filter. The effect of the properties of the compound being studied, the aerosol properties, and the filter parameters on elution were investigated. From the study of elution of several compounds on an individual-puff basis, it was found that the relative affinity between the eluted compound and the aerosol or the filter has an important influence on elution. Use of straight-chain hydrocarbons led to the conclusion that there is a linear relationship between percentage of elution and the logarithm of the vapour pressure of the compound being eluted by cigarette smoke. Decrease in aerosol concentration decreases elution; increase in filter and/or aerosol temperature increases elution. Aerosol composition can be important in elution behaviour, as in the apparent relationship between increased moisture content of the aerosol and increased elution of nicotine during the last puffs. Increase in filter length slightly decreases elution, decrease in total denier slightly decreases elution, and change in denier per filament causes no change in elution.","PeriodicalId":35431,"journal":{"name":"Beitrage zur Tabakforschung International/ Contributions to Tobacco Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1969-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76069258","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}

In the air-cured tobacco, the Patoran residue was about 1.2 ppm; it was independent of the leaf position and unchanged after fermentation, but higher in the laminae (1.2 ppm) than in the midrib (0.2 ppm). The Molipan residues were higher in the lower (2 ppm) than in the upper leaves (1 ppm) and decreased after fermentation by approximately 40 %; the laminae contained more residues than the midrib. When the tobacco was smoked as cigarettes about 4 % of the Patoran residue was transferred into the mainstream smoke; another 10 % was found in the smoke condensate after pyrolytical degradation to 4-bromoaniline. The transfer rates for the Molipan residues were 2.5 % for monolinuron (plus 10 % recovered as 4-chloroaniline) and 6 % for linuron (plus 20 % recovered as 3,4-dichloroaniline). The retention of these residues from the mainstream smoke by cellulose and cellulose acetate cigarette filters was of the same order of magnitude as the retention of nicotine. Different analytical principles were applied for the residue determinations in tobacco (as azo dyes by spectrophotometry) and in smoke condensate (as bromo-iodo- and chloro-iodo-benzenes by pulsed ECD gaschromatography). The analytical procedures are given in detail.","PeriodicalId":35431,"journal":{"name":"Beitrage zur Tabakforschung International/ Contributions to Tobacco Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1969-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89591133","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}
