Popis: Nicotine is the principal alkaloid in tobacco and has been the primary subject of scientific investigation for its pharmacological effects contributing to tobacco use, dependence, withdrawal, and physical harm. Related minor alkaloids, accounting for less than 6% of alkaloid content in tobacco leaves, may also mirror some of the same pharmacological effects. To detect such low concentrations of the minor alkaloids, tobacco product methods produced by the Cooperation Centre for Scientific Research Relative to Tobacco (CORESTA) using gas chromatography and flame ionization detection (GC-FID) have been adapted for use with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Nicotine and minor alkaloid content in SPECTRUM Nicotine Research Cigarettes (NRC) have previously been determined using GC-FID; however, the minor alkaloids were unable to be detected or quantitated. This study employed UltraPerformance Convergence Chromatography (UPC
