Abstract
Tobacco leaves harvested at different stages of maturity have different chemical compositions that affect their smoking properties.
Following a standard methodology, an experiment with Prilep P 66 9 was conducted at the experimental field of the Scientific Tobacco Institute - Prilep,.
Three variants were included in the trial - oriental tobacco harvested during technological maturity, before technological maturity, as well as tobacco leaves harvested after technological maturity.
The aim of this study was to perceive the quality of tobacco depending on the time of harvest.
Тobacco harvested at technological maturity gives a high quality tobacco raw material with a content of soluble sugars of 26.17% for middle belt leaves and 25.97% for upper belt leaves.
Tobacco leaves harvested at green state specify a very low Shmuk’s number (2.30 for the middle belt leaves and 2.20 for the upper belt leaves) which indicates lower quality.
Keywords: tobacco quality, chemical composition, maturity, soluble sugar, Shmuk’s number.
