  1. Sugar Pyrolysis in Cigarettes

  2. Define Change in Smoke Chemistry (vs. reference cigarette)What is change? • What is change? • Change is defined by current validated analytical methods • Change as defined by risk • Change defined as new additions to smoke chemicals • Change defined as more of the same?

  3. Determining change by determining the Fate of the additive • Stable isotope methods or radiolabeled methods • Unchanged • Partially changed (combustion chemistry) • Totally changed • Influence smoke chemistry • New combustion products • Increase or decrease existing products

  4. Sugars in Cigarettes • Found naturally in the tobacco leaf ( 0.8% to 25%) • Air cured tobaccos have lower levels ( burley and Maryland) • Oriental Tobacco has levels from 5 to 25%. • Sugars are added to Cigarettes • Casings ( help hold form and moisture) • Flavor and texture (mellow or smooth)

  5. Sugars in Cigarettes Natural vs. Additive • Naturally occurring in leaf mono, di and polysaccharides ( carbohydrates 40% of leaf lamina). • Sugars are added to Cigarettes usually as a monosaccharide (sucrose or glucose). • Added directly to the tobacco during manufacturing. • Spray application ( up to 3.5% by wt.)

  6. Define Change in Smoke Chemistry with Sucrose as an additive • Fate Studies do not always differentiate surface applied from naturally occurring sugars within the leaf. • Total carbohydrates contribute to same products. • Fate (pyrolysis, radiolabeled, and stable isotope) • Radiolabeled (Jenkins et al 1975; Green 1977) • Reference no filtered cigarette • Carbon 14 sucrose and glucose

  7. Pyrolysis of Sucrose • Results Carbon 14 • 99.5% changed in mainstream • MS 8.4% gas; 4.2% TPM • SS 73% gas; 7.4% TPM (40% CO2 and 10% CO) • Butt 4.7% • Ash 7.4% (0.3%) • Unchanged found on particulate 0.5% • Distribution radioactivity- 12.6% in mainstream , 80.4%

  8. Pyrolysis Products • Most prevalent Products gas phase radiolabled studies • Furans and Carbonyls • Other products • Acetonitrile • Acetone • Acetaldehyde

  9. Pyrolysis ProductsCO2 and Formaldehyde

  10. Change in Smoke Chemistry with Sugar as an additive • Results (Thornton and Massey)

  11. Change in Smoke Chemistry with Sugar as an additive • Results continued

  12. Define Change in Smoke Chemistry with Menthol as an additive • Evaluation of Sugar for Use as a Cigarette ingredient by PM (along with other ingredients) • Reference 1R4F • Smoke products analyzed by PM numbered 50 • FTC analytes • TPM, Nicotine, Water and CO

  13. Change in Smoke Chemistry with sugar as an additive • Conclusions • Adds to already existing smoke products. (Overall changes difficult to detect) • No change in nicotine levels. • No data on overall constituents (PM report has results but includes the groups of 330 test ingredients) • No really clean study completed in regards to our interests.
