Abstract: | Several volatile compounds are generated and the concentrations of many others increase on flue-curing and ageing of Virginia tobacco. Oxidative degradation of isoprenoids, Maillard reactions and phenylalanine metabolism are the major processes accounting for the formation of the majority of these compounds. A number of alcohols, aldehydes and ketones, which are apparently products of fatty acid degradation, are lost during the post-harvest handling. |
