Abstract

Volatile compounds produced by pyrolysis of flax pulp, wood pulp and handmade cigarette papers from both pulps in helium atmosphere at 650°C were investigated by pyrolysis gas chromatogrphic analysis. It was observed that there are some differences in amount of products from pyrolyzates of flax pulp, wood pulp and handmade cigarette paper. Furfurylformate (No. 54), which had never been reported as the pyrolysis product of cellulose, was newly identified from flax pyrolyzates.In the case of flax pulp, the pyrolysis in air atmosphere was studied over the rage of 350°C-650°C. The optimum temperature of pyrolysis for maximum production of volatile compounds in number and yield in air was 400°C.The cellulose cigarette smoke is similar to the pyrolyzate in helium atmosphere in the ratio of volatile compounds. This shows that flavor and taste of cigarette paper smoke could be evaluated based on the pyrozate in helium.
