마이크로파 처리에 의한 한국산 담배의 성분변화에 대한 연구 (Ⅰ) = Studies on an Improvement of Quality of Korean Tabacco by Microwave Treatment (Ⅰ)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The characteristics, such as taste, chemical and physical properties, of Korean tobacco leaves have been investigated.
Typical sample of the leaves have been chosen to study change of qualities and pyrolytic properties by means of microwave treatment.
The results could be summerized as following;
1. Among Flue-cured leaves, BY-4, NC-2326 and Hicks have the most desirable aroma and especially pleasing taste.
And, BY-X and 7205-14 could be recommended as a milder for a blend.
2. By microwave treatment on the Flue-cured leaves, the contents of general constituents, especially nicotine in the leaves as well as smoke have been reduced noticeble and also combustibility and filling power are improved.
3. Microwave treated and untreated TGA data of Flue-cured leaves shows that peak height at 190℃ which is expected to be due to evaporation of lower boiling point aromatic compounds decreases, while peak height at 290℃ which is caused by evaporation of higher boling point compounds and decomposition of cellulose and lignin increases for the case of microwave treatment.
On the other hand, it is found that the peak height at 290℃ for the Burley leaves decreases by the microwave treatment.
