Atomic absorption determination of nicotine in tobacco

A new method for the determination of nicotine alkaloid has been developed. This method is based on the quantitative precipitation of the alkaloid with metals such as Cu 2+, Pb 2+, Zn 2+ and Hg 2+. Then either the equivalent or residual metal is determined. The proposed method was successfully appli...

Summary:A new method for the determination of nicotine alkaloid has been developed. This method is based on the quantitative precipitation of the alkaloid with metals such as Cu 2+, Pb 2+, Zn 2+ and Hg 2+. Then either the equivalent or residual metal is determined. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of nicotine in various types of tobaccos.
