Abstract
AbstractVolatile free fatty acids in flue‐cured Virginia and blended Turkish tobaccos were quantitatively analysed as butyl esters by a sensitive capillary GC method. A total of 23 volatile free fatty acids were characterized by GC‐MS, and several were observed for the first time in tobacco. A blended Turkish tobacco sample contained many more branched‐chain fatty acids than a flue‐cured Virginia tobacco sample. 4‐Ethyloctanoic acid, earlier reported in flue‐cured Virginia tobacco, was not present in the sample of this tobacco, but it was present in the blended Turkish tobacco sample.
