Measurements were made in triplicate except for pH and % moisture (n=2).
Total and un-ionzied nicotine was calculated using measured pH and total nicotine values. The % un-ionized is calculated using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.
Based on nicotine values, FT/IR and GC/MS full scan analyses, Rapé Real (unflavored) was determined to be essentially pure Nicotiana rustica tobacco with no other discernable flavorings or plant material added.
