• Smoke Flavor I. -The Flavor of Hardwood Smoke

  Smoke flavor has been used for thousands of years to enhance and modify the flavor of foods as well as to preserve meats- This page presents some of the most important flavor constituents present in smoke flavoring.

• Smoke Flavor II. - Dark Fire-Cured Tobacco

  The GC-MS analysis of a denicotinized super-fluid CO₂ extract of Kentucky FireCured tobacco is presented and the GC profile is compared to similar extracts of Virginia and Burley tobaccos. Over 15% by weight of the denicotinized Fire-cured CO₂ extract consisted of phenolic compounds and of the 107 constituents identified, 44 were phenolics, primarily generated by pyrolysis of lignin from the hardwood smoke. In other words, the phenolics are generated during the fire-curing process in a manner directly analogous to the process of smoking meats.
