SUBJECT/1 [The main objective of this investigation was to determine if subjective taste evaluations would correlate with chemical and smoke components of burley tobaccos. It was felt that formulas could be derived which could predict the degree that certain chemical components affected organoleptic characteristics, when present in varying amounts. *** Twenty-five burley tobaccos of various grades and crop years were chosen to be representative of the available burley tobaccos. These were cut and made into 7-0 mm non-filter cigarettes in the pilot plant, using firmness as a criteria. *** These samples were smoked by a five-member expert panel, who rated the cigarettes in nine categories thought to describe the taste characteristics of burley tobacco. These categories were: chest impact, throat impact, bitter, sweet, salty, sour, burley character, overall strength and off taste. *** The data obtained from the taste characteristics, leaf, smoke, and vapor phase analyses was then evaluated by computer to derive regression equations. *** Our first conclusion is that taste characteristics will correlate reasonably well with leaf analyses. The equation implies that an increase in leaf nicotine is followed by an increase in chest impact. It implies that an increase in chlorides or decrease in potassium would be followed by a decrease in chest impact. Chlorides decrease and potassium increases the burn rate, which would decrease or increase respectively, the nicotine delivered per unit time. *** Leaf pH correlates negatively with smoke pH. Preliminary correlations with the flue-cured tobacco show a positive correlation between leaf and smoke pR. Increasing leaf pH in the flue-cured would be followed by an increase in smoke pH, which would contribute to the impact via an increase in unportonated nicotine. A decrease in leaf pH of the Burley tobacco would produce the same result. *** The equations for smoke nicotine and DPM in terms of leaf analyses, have an excellent correlation coefficient. *** If we hold total nitrogen fixed, then an increase in nitrates would mean a decrease in the available leaf nicotine, which at a given pH would mean less smoke nicotine. *** These equations do not contain weight as an independent variable, nor have the smoke analyses been corrected for weight. *** An increase in isoprene, acetone and acetonitrile is followed by an increase in chest and throat impact, as well as overall strength. An increase in acrolein, benzene and~HCN is followed by a decrease in strength characteristics. *** An attempt was made to correlate HCN with leaf analyses, however, no significant correlation could be made. *** One surprise in our correlation attempt was that smoke pH failed to correlate with smoke nicotine or any of our strength indicators. *** In conclusion, we have shown that the organoleptic qualities of a tobacco can be correlated reasonably well with its chemical composition. We have gathered a spectrum of data on Burley tobacco, and derived a number of useful equations, which should be helpful in choosing Burley tobacco for future blending purposes or for future research and reference.] SUBJECT/2 REGRESSION ANALYSIS SUBJECT/3 COMPUTER PROGRAM SUBJECT/4 SMOKE ANALYSIS SUBJECT/5 LEAF ANALYSIS SUBJECT/6 VAPOR PHASE ANALYSIS SUBJECT/7 TASTE PANEL ' LOCATION/1 RLIB 2 LOCATION/2 MICROFILM ROLL IR3-0604 $ INTERNAL/1 MEMO 499 AUTHOR/1 PERINI, F.R.

It is recommended we consider the feasibility of irradiation for 1) cigarette beetle elimination, 2) sterilization of chewing tobacco products for mold inhibition and 3) sterilization of developmental snuff.

The Danville loss would be around 11,969 lbs. of nicotine yearly.

Norman an air dilution filter (open tube and perforated paper) is less effective in removing nicotine and menthol than in removing dry tar. A typical cellulose acetate filter which gives a 50 percent reduction in corrected particulate matter also reduces the nicotine by 50 percent, whereas an air dilution filter which gives a 50 percent reduction in corrected particulate matter reduces the nicotine by only 30 percent.

Smoke analyses and puff by puff smoke analyses showed that the nicotine was delivered in the smoke in the same manner as naturally occurring nicotine in regular production cigarettes.

Extraction with kerosene (5/1, v/w) afforded a 64 percent reduction of leaf nicotine content. The total nicotine recovered as the sulfate in solution amounted to 63 percent. 2) Extraction with cold brine (9/1, v/w) afforded an 85 percent reduction of leaf nicotine however only a 48 percent overall recovery from the leaf. 3) A five-fold extraction with Freon-11 afforded an 85 percent reduction of leaf nicotine and an 80 percent overall recovery from the leaf. 4) Extraction of leaf with methyl ethyl ketone (four-fold) caused an 85 percent reduction of the leaf nicotine. Subsequent recovery of the nicotine from the methyl ethyl ketone with brine realized an overall 82 percent value based upon the starting leaf nicotine content.

DEPARTMENT/1 RESEARCH LIFE SCIENCE TITLE/1 THE PHARMACOLOGY OF SMOKE-DOSE NICOTINE: A REVIEW OF CURRENT LITERATURE DATE/1 DEC 10 1976 YEAR/1 1976 SUBJECT/1 A review has been made of the literature on the pharmacology of smoke-dose nicotine with the goal of discovering some indications of threshold dose and optimum doses of nicotine in the average cigarette smokers. Publication on the physiologic and pharmacologic effects of nicotine is numerous, but papers relevant to the aim of this review are few. It seems that, within limits, smokers can and do control their nicotine intake from smoke by varying their smoking techniques. Nicotine has numerous sites of action and the response is an algebraic sum of its actions. No single parameter appears to offer a reliable handle for measuring optimum satisfaction dose of nicotine at the present time. It seems that smokers smoke for both calming and stimulant effects. In a subjective study, test subjects reported that they found cigarettes of 0.8 mg to be acceptable. ~ j, 1 TITLE/1 AIR DILUTION FILTRATION OF CIGARETTE SMOKE WITHOUT A CELLULOSE ACETATE FILTER ROD DATE/1 NOV 4 1'976 YEAR/1 1976 SUBJECT/1 The advantages of a total air dilution cigarette are the following: 1.

A cigarette made only from natural ingredients, with no synthetic flavorings added, for good, natural taste, targeted against male smokers under 35 (23.1 percent of total consumption) but capable of drawing business from all segments. 2. A menthol cigarette combining the highest level of menthol without irritation targeted primarily at menthol smokers under 35 (approximately 11 percent of total consumption) but capable of drawing from other menthol demographics. 3. A feminine cigarette in a compact case offering one of several benefits of apparent appeal to women (slower burning, cooler menthol), targeted against the 47 percent of total consumption presently done by female smokers, primarily lo-fi and menthol. *** The two immediate opportunities suitable for testing on existing, brands are: 1.
