Hicks (Nicotiana tabacum L.) 잎담배의 건조과정에 있어서의 색상, 색소성분 및 담배기본 성문의 변화를 관찰하였다. 건조가 진행됨에 따라total chlorophyll의 량은2,002 ~ 1,131$\mu\textrm{g}$ /gr.에서 473 ~ 175$\mu\textrm{g}$/gr.로 감소하였으며 total carotene 은 건조 시작 70hr.에는 373 ~712 $\mu\textrm{g}$/gr.에서 3,003 ~ 1,215$\mu\textrm{g}$/gr.로 증가하다가 70hr.이후에는 3,003 ~ 1,215$\mu\textrm{g}$/gr.에서 1,050 ~ 1,039$\mu\textrm{g}$/gr.로 감소하였다. 이에 따라 색상은 녹색~황녹색에서 황색과 등색의 중간 색상으로 접근하였다. 전 질소와 니코틴은 건조 전후 2 ~3%로서 큰 변동이 없었으나, 전 당은 건조전에 17%에서 건조 70hr에 3559까지 증가되였으며, 건조가 끝날 때는 16%로 다시 감소하였다. 색도좌표의 x축과 chlorophyll/ carotene 간에는 역상관을 나타내었고 상관계수는r=-0.96으로서 고도의 유의성이 인정되었으며 두 변수간의 회귀방정식은 F= 28.87- 68.38x 였다. 이 식에 따르면 chlorophyll 이 분해되어 y$\longrightarrow$0 일때 x = 0.422 로서 건조 잎담배의 우량엽의 범주에 속하였다.
Boring the process of curing of the tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L. clicks) leaf, the and other fundamental components of the tobacco leaf was observed The amount of total chlorophyll was reduced from 2902$\mu\textrm{g}$/gr to 1, 131$\mu\textrm{g}$/gr as a function of curing time. In the case of total carotene, the concentration was increased from 373-712$\mu\textrm{g}$/gr. to 3, 003~2, 215$\mu\textrm{g}$/gr. up to 70 hours of curing period. However, after 70 hours of curing, the concentration of total carotene stared to be decreased up to 1, 050~1, 039$\mu\textrm{g}$/gr. Simultaneously, the greenish yellow color becomes to be close an intermediate color between yellow and orange. The amount of total nicotine and nitrogen (2~2%) in the green harvested leaf was essentially identical after the curing process. However, the amount of total sugar was enhanced from 17%, in the green harvested leaf, to 35% at the time of 70 hours curing. At the end of the curing, the amount of total sugar was again reduced up to 16%. The correlation coefficient (r) between the axis of the color coordinate and the ratio of chlorophyll/carotene was estimated to be r=-0.96. This result indicates a linear relationship between those two parameters and the following linear equation is obtained as y=28.87-68.38 x. From the above equation, x=0.442 could be estimated when chlorophyll was completely decomposed (ylongrightarrowO). As a consequence of this result, we can suggest the tobacco leaf of Hicks belongs to the high quality level.
