No. 76 - Determination of Moisture Content (Oven Volatiles) of Tobacco and Tobacco Products
This Recommended Method specifies an oven-drying method for the determination of the moisture content (oven volatiles) of tobacco and tobacco products that are in the range of 5% to 60%. Supporting data are included for ground tobacco, cigarette filler, cigar filler and a wide range of smokeless tobacco products and nicotine pouches. Products not covered by the collaborative studies may require additional validation.
