Abstract
A study of the chemical composition of ether and ethyl acetate extracts of the Serbian selected tobacco types Yaka, Prilep and Otlja was performed using GC and GC/MS. The major constituents were: nicotine (24.2–58.9% of the total material detected in the ethyl acetate extracts and 46.1–49.5% of ether extracts), neophytadiene (4.0–17.9% of ethyl acetate extracts and 11.2–31.9% of ether extracts) and a mixture of n-, iso- and anteiso-alkanes (17.1–60.4% of ethyl acetate extracts and 8.4–24.7% of ether extracts). A detailed comparison of the obtained results with the composition of essential oils and supercritical CO2 extracts of the same tobacco types is presented.
