Investigation on Virginia Tobacco Quality

ABSTRACT

The Virginia tobacco growing in different ecological and production conditions reflect in different rate to its characteristic qualities. The aim of present investigation is to establish influence of variety and area/sub-area/for forming quality i.e. for uniformity or differences in quality indexes of different Virginia tobacco varieties, produced in different areas/sub-areas/. The tobaccos from different samples analyze in respect of tobacco chemical composition, smoke composition and physical indexes. The spectrophotometric assessment “take down of image” of Virginia type tobaccos is made from two varieties, produced in different areas. The investigations show that in respect of area influence (subarea) on tobacco quality hasn't obvious expressed determination. In definite cases determine importance has variety and in other sub-area. In most cases the area importance is dominant. The mutual influence of variety and area (ecological and climate conditions) confirms for forming Virginia tobaccos quality.
