Process Chemistry Development

Abstract

Reviews progress of Project ART analytical and process methods. Indicates measuring the application of ammonia to tobacco, finding a replacement for alternate base and developing suitable methods for applying ammonia to ART tobacco are works in progress. Presents results and proposes additional studies of these objectives.

Wrenn, S.E.

Hypothesis

Design changes over time

Changes in cigarette design over the past half century.

Introduction of new/unconventional products

Research and development of novel nicotine delivery devices and experimental tobacco designs.

Low-yield cigarettes

Modification of low yield products to assure that adequate levels of nicotine delivery are maintained, and effects of yield changes on toxicity and dependence.

Nicotine transport, transfer, and uptake

Design changes which alter nicotine delivery or effect how the product causes and maintains dependence, including transfer of nicotine from tobacco to smoke, and uptake into the body.

Use of additives

Modification of tobacco products through use of additives and measuring effects on dependence, behavior, and toxicity.

Use of tobacco processing/ blends

Modification of tobacco products through changes in tobacco processing and use of blends, and measuring effects on dependence, behavior, and toxicity.
