This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of circulating air volume to chemical composition of tobacco leaves during the bulk curing. The decrease of circulating air volume prolonged curing time as the case of a 0.058m3/min.kg; but, no remarkable changes with a 0.11m3/min.kg and a 0.083m3/min.kg. When the circulating air volume was decreased, compared with 0.11m3/min.kg, sugar content was increased while total nitrogen and nicotine content showed reduced values. In case of a 0.058m3/min.kg and a 0.083m3/min.kg, solanone and damascenone were high. Some of volatile neutral constituents and volatile organic acids were increased during curing process; especially, their quantities were1085 remarkably increased during the midrib drying stage. As circulating air volume decreased, the equilibrium moisture content was increased, while leaf shatter index and filling capacity were decre
