Chemical Content and Quality of Sun Cured Tobacco Lines

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is a plant grown for leaves. Leaves are dried and fermented to use in tobacco products. Oriental widely consumed the world due its good aroma qualities. For this, different chemical quality properties of lines, which have undergone small changes over time, been examined. The samples (27 lines 1 variety (Xanthi 2A)) obtained from three locations (Bagpinar, Evciler Yenice) Tokat Canakkale were used this study. Quality index, nicotine, glucose, fructose, chlorogenic acid rutin amounts determined investigate effect geographical environment on lines. Chemical analyzes performed using high performance liquid chromatography. data chromatographic index evaluated by principal component analysis. These generally separated clustered. Due locations, genotypes better adapted Bagpinar location
