Abstract

The physical characteristics of tobacco leaves are the basic indicator that enables the assessment of tobacco quality in practice. They reflect the structure and chemical composition of the leaf and are closely related to the smoking and flavor properties of the tobacco. Having in mind the previous knowledge in 2022 a field experiment by standard methodology was conducted on the surfaces of the experimental field of the Scientific Institute for Tobacco - Prilep, with oriental tobacco variety Prilep 66.
Three variants were included in the experiment – tobacco was harvested during technological maturity, before technological maturity (green state), as well as the harvesting of tobacco leaves after technological maturity (overripe state) were performed. The aim of this study was to perceive the quality of tobacco depending on the time of harvest.
Considering their great importance in the industrial processing of tobacco, we decided to analyze the following major physical properties: leaf substantiality, thickness and midrib content.
Keywords: oriental tobacco, variety Prilep 66 9, physical characteristics, maturity.
