General Cigar Co., Inc. Research Laboratory, Lancaster, Pennsylvania USA Under conditions supporting rapid growth, γ-[6-hydroxy-(3-pyridyl)]-γ-oxobutyric acid appeared to be the last major pyridine-containing intermediate formed within twelve hours by the non-blue-pigment-forming nicotine-degrading bacterial isolate No....

Lancaster, Pennsylvania USA Increased aeration provided by a more efficient shaker and baffled Erlenmeyer flasks resulted in faster growth of all six nicotine-degrading isolates. Moreover, these conditions increased both the tolerance to nicotine and its utilization by the four...

Research Laboratory, General Cigar Company Inc., Lancaster, Pennsylvania USA Several bacterial isolates capable of rapid nicotine degradation were obtained from various sources. They can use nicotine as the sole source of carbon and nitrogen. Though they have several common characteristics, they differ in pigment formation...

General Cigar Company, Inc., Research Laboratory, Lancaster Pennsylvania USA A reversed-phase paper chromatographic procedure for the identification of higher molecular weight fatty acids has been developed. The method is easily operable, quite rapid and reproducible. It should prove useful as a preliminary technique for the...

General Cigar Company, Inc., Research Laboratory, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Farming Division, West Hartford, Connecticut USA A new method for measuring the fire holding capacity of cured tobacco leaf has been described and several examples of its use have been shown. The test method has been designed to reduce experimental variations which were inherent in older burn test...
Tob. Sci., 1961, 5-06, p. 21-24, ISSN.0082-4623 The determination of calcium in tobacco CONNERS W.M.; HESS E.H. Research Laboratory, General Cigar Company, Inc. Lancaster, Pennsylvania USA The need for a highly accurate, yet easily operable method for calcium analysis was established. Calcium values offer a basis in correcting for the dry matter loss incurred during the processing of tobacco. Weight loss factors, derived from these...

Research Laboratory, General Cigar Company, Lancaster, Pennsylvania USA It has been shown that the moisture content of total smoke solids is highly dependent on the conditions of smoking and that reliable results for total smoke solids should include the determination of moisture as a definitive procedure. An alternative...

Research Laboratory, General Cigar Company, Lancaster, Pennsylvania USA (1‘) Chlorophyll of “chloroplasts” from both greenhouse and field grown tobacco leaves appears to exist in two states thus confirming the work of Osipova (1957) on this point. The “free” chlorophyll of chloroplasts is extractable with petroleum ether...
