Determination of the Tobacco Humidity: Comparison of the Azeotropic Benzene Distillation with Oven Drying / Zur Bestimmung der Feuchtigkeit im Tabak: Vergleich zwischen der Azeotropen Destillation mit Benzol und der Trocknung im Ofen

Two methods of determination of the tobacco humidity - oven drying and azeotropic distillation with benzene - have been compared. The precision of the latter method had been formerly established on a model system of paper plus added water; it is shown that the precision is the same when the method is applied on tobacco.
