The nitrate content depends strongly on the respective variety of cured tobacco leaf and varies from 0 to 6 per cent. Dark tobaccos are particularly rich in nitrate. Nitrate is mainly found in the ribs of tobacco leaves and in the lower leaves of the tobacco plant.

Their method has been slightly modified in order to adapt it to the standard procedure of smoke alkaloid analysis. The modified method allows the accurate determination of the nicotine alkaloids and the pyridines; the latter can be assayed with a precision of ± 0.7 µg per cigarette, for a total of 21 µg pyridine per cigarette (95 % confidence limits). Preliminary results using this method indicate that the mainstream smoke of one cigarette contains between about 20 (sun-cured and flue-cured tobaccos) and 50 (air-cured tobaccos) µg of pyridine. The stub of a straight cigarette shows a marked retention efficiency for smoke pyridine; still better retention is observed through a cigarette filter from cellulose acetate, whereas filters on a paper or cellulose basis are less efficient. It is usual to separate the pyridines from the other smoke bases by steam distillation in presence of acetic acid or a buffer solution. It is shown that this procedure is inefficient. The simple pyridines contributing rarely more than 2 percent to the mass of the total smoke bases, there seems to be no real necessity of determining their amount in the course of a routine determination of the smoke alkaloids.","PeriodicalId":35431,"journal":{"name":"Beitrage zur Tabakforschung International/ Contributions to Tobacco Research","volume":"54 1","pages":"282 - 293"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1964-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86024083","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 experiments established that this is true. Then a short introduction is given of adsorption laws with regard to tobacco aerosol sucked through a filter, i. e. through tobacco in the butt. In the following the smoking process is investigated. Beginning we assume for simplicity the case of no redistillation (R = 0): •mI denotes the aerosol mass precipitated on the tobacco in the butt and which is destroyed by the advancing smouldering zone in section I, i. e. in the ash. •mII denotes the aerosol mass precipitated in section II, i. e. in the butt. •mIII denotes the aerosol mass leaving the cigarette. Tobacco aerosol distribution in section I and II and mass of mIII are given as a function of the smouldering zone's progress. The tables are calculated using the adsorption constant k = 0.0689, this being found for a particular brand of cigarette by experiment. Then we investigate the other extreme, i. e. the total redistillation (R = 1). An additional mass of volatile tobacco aerosol is generated in the smouldering zone, not through combustion of the tobacco but through redistillation of the precipitated aerosol. Results are obtained by integration and also by an algebraic method using a calculating machine. Finally further tables are given for partial redistillation effect (R = 0.25; 0.50; 0.75). The experimental part demonstrates that for the special cigarette brand investigated it is found R = 0.45 for tobacco aerosol and R = 0.72 for phenols. R = 0.45 means: The aerosol precipitated during smoking on the butt's tobacco by the advancing smouldering zone is partly destroyed (55 %) and partly redistilled (45 %).","PeriodicalId":35431,"journal":{"name":"Beitrage zur Tabakforschung International/ Contributions to Tobacco Research","volume":"28 1","pages":"237 - 262"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1964-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72518411","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}
