Abstract

This article discusses a range of studies on starch changes in tobacco leaves during flue-curing. Important effects resulting from using different flue-curing equipment and techniques on starch content are presented. It concludes that future researches should be focused on the structure and physico-chemical properties of tobacco starch during the curing process.

Key words: tobacco; flue-curing; starch
