This study was carried out to develop a new stalk curing of the horizontal hanging method that would reduce the harvesting and curing labor, and improve its quality of cured leaf than the conventional stalk curing method in burley tobacco. The horizontal hanging stalk-curing method designed from 1988 was compared with the conventional method. The horizontal method shortened the curing Period for 7 days and reduced to 0.3%, while it occurred 9.4% in the vertical method. In the horizontal method, the quality of cured leaf improved 9%, but the contents of chemical components and physical properties were similar to those of vertical method. The labor of stalk-cut and loading in curing facility reduced 28% by the horizontal method. In harvesting and curing process, the horizontal method resulted 12% of labor saving as compared with the vertical method. Key words : horizontal hanging stalk-curing method, vertical method, stalk-curing.

This study was conducted to obtain the basic information on the burley tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) curing methods. The effects of the three kinds of curing methods on the dry weight losses during curing, chemical contents and physical properties of cured leaves, and organoleptic and smoking qualities were observed. The dry weight losses during curing was the highest in the stalk curing, and the lowest in the conventional priming. The longer the curing periods was, the more the loss of dry weight. The percent of the excessive dried leaves was high and the price per kilogram was low in the conventional priming. The chemical contents and the physical properties of the cured leaves in the conventional priming were similar to those of yellowing or browning stage of curing. But, the chemical contents and the physical properties of the cured leaves in the stalk curing were comparable to those of the air curing. The smoking quality was the best in the stalk curing.

This study was performed to investigate the influence of curing conditions on the composition of essential oil during curing process of burley tobacco leaves. The curing conditions were the primed curing in vinyl house (house-curing), air-curing barn (air-curing) and stalk-curing in conventional curing house (stalk-curing). Total 90 compounds are identified from the steam volatile oils of harvest and cured tobacco leaves by GC and GC-MS, respectively. The major components were neophytadiene, hexadecanoic acid, 3,8,13-duvatriene-1,5-diols, oxide-9-methylene-3,13-duvadienols, solanone, megastigma-4,6,8-trien-3-ones, phenylacetaldehyde, $\beta$-phenylethyl alcohol, indole, dihydroactinidiolide and phytol. The amount of alcoholic compounds was decreased more than approximately 50% in cured leaves without regard to the curing conditions. $\beta$-Phenylethyl alcohol and 3,8,13-duvatriene-1,5-diols were decreased more in air curing and stalk curing than in house curing. The amounts of phenylacetaldehyde, solanone, $\beta$-damascone, $\beta$ -damascenone, oxysolanone and megastigma-4,6,8-trien-3-ones as ketonic compounds, dihydroactinidiolide and indole as miscellaneous compounds in air-cured and stalk-cured tobacco leaves were 2 times higher than those in house-cured leaves, while esteric and acidic compounds were not changed largely in content by curing conditions.

This study was carried out to control the stalk curing period in Burley Tobacco, for its period was longer than 40 days. The 5 methods were treated to shorten the stalk curing period. The curing period was shortened for 1~3 days by the harvesting methods and the amount of predehydration, but it was shortened for 8 days by the hanging methods(sloping and horizontal curing)and the hanging density(90 plants/3.3m2) without the decrease of quality. In the ventilating condition of the curing house, the curing period could be controlled for 5 dyes with the quality like the conventional cured leaves by closing the curing house from the late curing stage. But when the curing house was not ventilated earlier, however the curing period was shortened but its quality was decreased.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of curing methods on the concentration of ammonia during curing in burley tobacco leaves. The air-cured tobacco(KB108; Nicotiana tabacum L.) was grown at Chonju Tobacco Experiment Station in 1998 and the tenth leaves from the top on the stalk were harvested. Half of the harvested leaves were cured in normal air curing facility and the other leaves were cured in excessive curing facility. Stalk cut tobaccos were cured in horizontal curing facility. The leaves were sampled every five days from harvesting time to the end of curing(25 days). Ammonia concentration of leaves increased during curing period with a remarkable increase at yellowing stage. The concentration of ammonia was high in the primed cured leaves, while that of the excessive cured leaves was low. It is considered that the lower increase of ammonia in stalk cured leaves may be caused by the translocation from the leaves to the stalk during curing, while that of excessive cured leaves may be caused by the poor decomposition of protein and amino acid during curing by excessive moisture loss and high temperature condition.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes in composition of the non-volatile organic acid, fatty acid and polyphenolic compounds during air-curing in burley tobacco leaves, and the effect of curing methods on the contents in air-cured leaves. The air-cured variety, (Nicotiana tabacum cv KB108) was normally grown at the Chonju tobacco experiment station in 1998. Plants designated for the each curing methods were harvested on the same date, and the ripe leaves for primed curing were harvested at the tenth leaf position from the top on the stalk. The major compounds of non-volatile organic acid and fatty acid were malic, citric, oxalic, palmitic, and linolenic acid. The concentrations of malic acid, unsaturated fatty acids, chlorogenic acid and rutin in cured leaves were remarkably decreased during curing, while citric acid was increased. The changes of these compounds showed the similar pattern during both primed and stalk curing. In connection with curing methods, the contents of malic, linoleic and linolenic acid were higher in excessive cured leaves than those in primed cured or stalk cured leaves, while the content of citric acid was lower in excessive cured leaves than that in primed cured or stalk cured leaves.

This study was conducted to determine the changes of nitrogen compounds in lamina and midrib during the curing process with the different curing methods, such as priming and stalk-cut curing. After KB 108 burley tobacco was cultivated by the different fetilization levels such as standard and 20% higher, only the tips and leaf were harvested. Though the contents of total alkaloid and total nitrogen were similar in lamina, midrib showed a very low contents of those components by the different curing method and fertilization levels. The content of nitrate-nitrogen in lamina increased during a middle of curing process, and then these compound was decreased during an end of curing process by stalk-cut curing method. Nitrate-nitrogen contents in the lamina by the priming curing showed a high level caused by rapid drying process during an end of curing process. That component in midrib was 5-6 times higher than that of lamina. The contents of ammonia-nitrogen in the lamina and midrib were increased during a curing process. Though those amount in tips showed a similar by a different fetilization and curing method, midrib of stalk-cut curing showed a slow increasing during a curing process.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of suckers on chemical components with vertical and horizontal hanging method during stalk-cut curing in burley tobacco. The elongation and dry weights of suckers were increased until 14 days in vertical hanging method, and until 7days in horizontal hanging method after the beginning of curing. The contents of nicotine, protein-N and $NH_4$-N were decreased at treatment of more suckers during the curing. However, there was no significant difference by the hanging method. Solanone, damascenone, megastigmatrienone and 4-methyl phenol were increased gradually during curing. Those were increased with treatment of fewer suckers compared to treatment of more suckers. There was no significant difference by the hanging method.
