ABSTRACT:
The quality of finished cigarettes is assured by incorporating an individual, predetermined lubricant at predetermined locations in the cigarette manufacturing process. When a cigarette spotted or stained by a lubricant deposit is obtained, the lubricant deposit is analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography techniques to identify the flavoring agent. As such, the cigarette manufacturer can identify the source of the lubricant which is staining, and hence lowering the quality of the appearance of its cigarettes.
