DGMaher Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Is it possible to distinguish different brands of cigarette ash due to its chemical composition? If so, what are the possible reaction tests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvone Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I would think that different cigarette brands would be best distinguished by their aroma compounds evolved during burning and subsequently run on GC/MS by either solvent extraction, SPME, SBSE or headspace analysis techniques, whereas the ash contents after burning based on ICP-OES or ICP-MS would best distinguish the growing/soil conditions of the tobacco and possibly the location where it was grown.
