Abstract:

 Tobacco is one of the most extensively studied plant materials in the history. During its production tobacco leaf goes through many different operations from curing (drying) to ageing. Among all of them storage and ageing are very important operations. Properly stored tobacco develops its full flavour, becomes more aromatic and is ready to be sent to a customer for cigarette production. In this work changes in the quality of dried tobacco leafs during ageing (12 and 24 months) in different packaging materials are evaluated. Four samples of the FCV tobacco (Flue-Cured Virginia) grown in Northern Light Soils (NLS) region (India) were analysed. Two different liners inside of C-48 cartons – polyliner and kraft paper – were used for tobacco packaging. Quality evaluation of tobacco samples was done on the basis of analysis of chemical compo-nents (total alkaloids, reducing sugars, volatiles) and colour changing during the ageing process. Organoleptic analyses were performed as a final assessment of tobacco flavour and quality.
