Differences in aroma, chemistry, solubilities, and smoking quality of cured flue-cured tobaccos with aglandular and glandular trichomes

The chemistry, aroma, solubilities (herane and 95% ethanol), and smoking quality of cured tobacco from three typical flue-cured varieties that produce glandular trichomes on the surface of the green leaf and an atypical aglandular breeding line were compared. The glandular tobaccos produced more characteristic tobacco aroma than the aglandular tobacco. More hexane-extractable solute was obtained from the aglandular tobacco than from the glandular flue-cured tobaccos, but more alcohol-extractable solute was obtained from the glandular types
