Ann. Tabac, 1996, Sect. 1-23, p. 3-14., ISSN.0399-0206 Specific surface area of tobacco from adsorption measurements JADRAQUE D.; RODRIGUEZ MENDIOLA A. Tabacalera S.A., Centro I + D/Embajadores, Madrid, Spain. The specific surface area of two tobacco blends, a dark air-cured and a Virginia, have been measured by the conventional methodology using Kr gas. In an independent set of experiments, the isotherms of water adsorption have been determined for...
CORESTA Meeting, Smoke/Technology, Budapest, 1993, ST 19 A hygrometer gaging method CARDALLIAGUET T.; BARRIO J.C.; SARABIA J. Tabacalera S.A., Centro I + D/Embajadores, Madrid, Spain. The environmental laboratory and conditioning atmosphere are two of the main variables that must be controlled in a laboratory when the cigarette smoke is going to be analyzed. The ISO 3402 rule: Tobacco and Tobacco Products _ Testing and...
Bull. Spec. CORESTA Congress, Jerez de la Frontera, 1992, p. 87, ST13, ISSN.0525-6240 Factor analysis in tobacco characterization JADRAQUE D. Tabacalera S.A., Centro I + D/Embajadores, Madrid, Spain. A factor analysis is applied to the chemical results of about 2,000 samples of different tobaccos from around the world. The chemical analytes considered are the classical of the tobacco, namely, alcaloids, reducing sugars, Kjeldahl N, soluble NH4,...
Bull. Spec. CORESTA Congress, Jerez de la Frontera, 1992, p. 90, ST16, ISSN.0525-6240 An interesting compound of the sidestream smoke of cigarettes : hexamethylenetetraamine SARABIA J.; GONZALEZ J.M. Tabacalera S.A., Centro I + D/Embajadores, Madrid, Spain. Hexamethylenetetraamine-HMTA has been identified in the sidestream smoke condensate of cigarettes. This compound is the result of a well-known reaction between ammonia and formaldehyde. Using the"fish-tail"chimney device for sidestream collection,...
Bull. Spec. CORESTA Congress, Jerez de la Frontera, 1992, p. 98, ST24, ISSN.0525-6240 Rheology in tobacco JADRAQUE D.; PERENA J.M. Tabacalera S.A., Centro I + D/Embajadores, Madrid, Spain. The relationship between mechanical constraints and strain in a material is one of the subjects of rheology. Filling power, shatter index, etc... are important concepts in tobacco. These concepts are technological expressions of the intrinsic...
Bull. Spec. CORESTA Symposium, Kallithea, 1990, p. 107, ST06, ISSN.0525-6240 Influence of reconstituted tobaccos on the cigarette blend JADRAQUE D.; ESCRIBANO L.; MORATA L. Tabacalera S.A., Centro I + D/Embajadores, Madrid, Spain. The objective of this work was to study several experimental blends containing different types of reconstituted tobaccos. The reconstituted tobaccos arose from two slurry processes and a paper-like process of manufacturing. A special casing, that...
Bull. Spec. CORESTA Symposium, Kallithea, 1990, p. 217, S11, ISSN.0525-6240 Influence of barometric pressure on the sidestream smoke of cigarettes GONZALEZ J.M.; SARABIA J. Tabacalera S.A., Centro I + D/Embajadores, Madrid, Spain. An experiment was carried out in order to quantify the influence of barometric pressure on the sidestream smoke of cigarettes. Two different locations, at + 650 and + 10 m above sea level, and three different cigarettes, including commercial brands...
CORESTA Meeting, Smoke/Technology, Interlaken, 1989, ST 04 On-line audit of chemical data JADRAQUE D.; ESCRIBANO M.L.; MORATA M.L. Tabacalera S.A., Centro I + D/Embajadores, Madrid, Spain. The audit of data is a very frequent task in a laboratory. The approach that is presented performs the audit in two different steps : one internal and the other external. Intensive use of the control chart is made. The first step is the integral...
Bull. Spec. CORESTA Congress, Guangzhou 1988, p. 66, APTS-5. A data management system applied to a tobacco laboratory : labsam CARVAJAL A.; GONZALEZ J.M.; SELLER A. Tabacalera S.A., Centro I + D/Embajadores, Madrid, Spain. This paper discusses the application of the LABSAM data management system to a tobacco laboratory, from the experience acquired in the Research and Development Center of Tabacalera in Madrid, during 1987 and 1988, this is a laboratory management...
