Abstract
ABSTRACTThe need from increasing and stabilization of the production of tobacco origins and varieties of high market demands made us study the opportunities to extend their production. It also refers to Dzhebel origin, known for its traditional high quality. This study aims at making a technological assessment of the quality indicators of varieties of Dzhebel origin, grown in certain regions in our country and comparing them to those grown in the traditional regions or the so-called “typical” tobaccos of such sub-group variety. The study was made on the basis of the assessment of the technological indicators, describing their quality: physical indicators; chemical composition of tobacco; tobacco smoke composition; spectrophotometric assessment; expert's assessment; taste assessment. More significant differences are established between the compared samples at the expert's assessment, as the tobaccos from the “typical” regions prove to have better indicators. When compared to the varieties from “Krumovgrad” origin, the influence of the genetic factor (variety) is less expressed with the varieties from “Dzhebel” origin, i.e. it appears less adaptive to the new conditions.
