A non-smoking, nicotine-containing, non-tobacco product is new to Russia. There are no normative legal documents regulating circulation, production, certification, control methods and ingredient composition. The composition of the product is not controlled. The absence of state regulation, technical requirements and regulatory documents for nontobacco nicotine-containing products, control methods and methods for its identification is a serious problem today, and the solution of the listed problems is extremely important and urgent. This situation has led to the appearance of a large number of products produced by semihandicraft methods. Technical conditions for their production are the property of a manufacturer, which allows unscrupulous manufacturers to manufacture a product that often represents a real threat to the health of consumers. The research began in 2018 in the Laboratory of technology for the manufacture of tobacco and tobacco products and aimed at solving the following problems: – monitoring of the Russian market of non-smoking nicotine-containing products for oral consumption; – research of consumer characteristics of brands of this type of products; – obtaining experimental data for an objective assessment of the toxic load of the test samples. The work was carried out according to the program developed in the laboratory using the following methods: – visual inspection (establishes the appearance of the consumer packaging and the labels on the packaging); – organoleptic and tasting assessment (establish consumer characteristics of the product); – establishment of individual characteristics (presence or absence of tobacco); – determination of physical, chemical and toxic indicators of the product: humidity, fractional composition, nicotine content.

AbstractIn 1994, the European Smoking Tobacco Association (ESTA) commissioned and reported a study undertaken in the Netherlands to determine the making habits of roll-your-own smokers. The study included laboratory smoking of the collected smoking articles for the determination of tar and nicotine. In 1997, ESTA commissioned a similar study for Germany involving German fine-cut smokers. This paper reviews the data produced from the German study and compares the data with that produced in the Netherlands. An independent market research agency recruited known smokers of fine-cut tobacco. They were given the most popular brand of tobacco and the most popular brand of booklet paper. The consumers were instructed to make a fine-cut smoking article for testing each time they wanted to smoke. These smoking articles were placed in protective tins and collected by the research agency for analysis. An independent laboratory in Germany undertook the smoking and analysis. This study shows that a German roll-your-own smoker uses an average of 830 mg tobacco and makes a product that is 7.6 mm in diameter. German booklet paper is slightly shorter than Dutch paper. German products are more cylindrical than Dutch products and this probably accounts for the much reduced variability of German products compared with Dutch products. The mean tar yield of these articles was 12 mg and the mean nicotine yield was 0.9 mg.

AbstactAn apparatus for the rapid determination of the compactness of cigarettes is presented. We may recall to mind that the compactness of a cigarette is the subjective measure of its filling regarded as average value of the whole of the cigarette. It does not take into account irregularities along the paper wrapping. The compactness thus applying to the total of cigarette filling has direct relation to the degree of exploitation of cut tobacco. In view of an optimum control of manufacture it is desirable to determine cigarette compactness by representative samples. The apparatus meets these requirements. It permits to measure the average compactness of a sample of 15 cigarettes in a short time and holds a device for the determination of tobacco humidity by which compactness values can be referred to a given standard of moisture. The apparatus is suitable for direct utilization in the factory

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method for the quantitative determination of propyl paraben in cigarette tobacco filler has been developed. Propyl paraben is extracted from cigarette tobacco filler with acetonitrile and further purified using a silica Sep-Pak® cartridge and ethyl acetate-petroleum ether (1 + 4) as eluting solvent. The purified extracts are analyzed by reverse-phase liquid chromatography using buffered water (pH 4)-acetonitrile (65 + 35) as mobile phase, with UV detection at 254 nm. Cut tobacco samples were fortified with 100 and 200 ppm propyl paraben. Average recoveries (N = 5) of propyl paraben were 98 and 94%, respectively, with coefficients of variation less than 4%.

Cut Tobacco

Tobacco manufacturers see the tobacco moisture content as one of the determining factors in the quality of the finished tobacco product. During primary processing stage, the Particle Size Distribution (PSD) of the cut tobacco is a good measure of the tobacco moisture content. This paper presents statistical analyses of a two month PSD data using graphical techniques from noteworthy statistical multidimensional scaling (MDS) approaches in characterizing the tobacco moisture quality ratio. At the end, the evaluation within the investigated months fosters an indicative process audit, control and predictive monitoring that is capable of providing valuable impacts to future production.
