The Relation of the Quality of Oriental Tobaccos to their Chemical Constituents II. Quality and Chemical Properties as Affected by Soil Moisture

환경요인에 따른 오리엔트종 잎담배의 화학적 특성과 품질과의 관계 II. 토양수분의 영향

To elucidate the relationship of the quality of aromatic tobaccos to their chemical constituents, certain chemical components and leaf quality by price were compared among cured leaves produced under different soil moisture levels during growing season. As the soil moisture increased, plant height and the length and width of largest leaf increased. days to flower was shortened and total chlorophyll and carotenoid content of green leaf decreased. As the soil moisture increased, leaf quality was deteriorated. The content of nicotine, pet. ether ext. and total nitrogen increased with slight increment of nonvolatile organic acids and higher fatty acids, but ash content and pH of cured leaves decreased under high soil moisture content. Volatile organic acids such as 3-methyl pentanoic acid, the main compounds contributing to the aroma of oriental tobacco, and most volatile neutrals decreased conspicuously under high soil moisture. The content of pet. ether ext., volatile organic acids, volatile neutrals, ash and pH of cured leaves were found to be the appropriate factors for the quality evaluation of aromatic leaves grown under under different soil moisture.

향미 원료용 연초의 생육중 토양수분에 따른 잎담배의 화학성분과 품질과의 관계를 분석한 결과, 1. 토양수분이 많을수록 초장, 최대엽의 장, 폭등 개체생장이 증대되고 개화일수가 짧았으나 건조엽의 품질은 낮았다. 2 토양수분이 많을수록 생엽중 엽록소와 카로티노이드 함량이 높고, 건조엽중 니코틴, 석유에텔 유출물, 전질소함량이 낮았으며, 회분함량 및 pH는 높아졌다. 3. 토양수분이 많을수록 배휘발생 유기산과 고급지방산 함량이 높았으나 차이는 크지 않았다. 4. 토양수분이 많을수록 향미엽의 특성성분인 3-methyl pentanoic acid 등의 휘발성 유기산 함량의 감소가 컸으며 대부분의 휘발성 중성부 함량도 감소 경향이었다. 5. 토양수분이 다른 조건에서 생육한 잎담배의 품질을 비교하기 위해서는 석유에텔 추출물, 휘발성 유기산, 휘발성 중성부, 회분함량 및 pH등을 이용한 지수가 바람직하였다.
