This study was conducted to investigate quality parameters of oriental-type tobaccos over the fields of tobacco growers in Eşme, Sıvaslı, Ulubey and Karahallı towns of Uşak province, in which oriental-type tobacco is grown, in Aegean Region of Turkey in 2017. Tobacco leaf samples were taken from the fields of 40 growers at two different harvest dates. Samples were subjected to chlorine (Cl), ash, nicotine, total reduced sugar, and color (L*, a*, b*) analyses. The first and second harvest Cl contents of oriental tobaccos varied between 0.09 - 0.41% and 0.10 - 0.55%, ash contents between 12.8 - 23.1% and 12.2 - 22.5%, total reduced sugar contents between 12.90 - 32.48% and 13.15-31.08%, respectively. Nicotine contents were greater in the second harvest (between 0.28-0.86%) than in the first harvest (0.19-0.74%). The L* values of tobaccos in the first and second harvest varied between 48.25-72.30 and 47.24-70.05, a* values between -4.85-5.25 and - 4.25-7.12, b* values between 28.12-45.45 and 31.83-47.71, respectively. Correlation coefficients between some parameters of the first and second harvest tobacco leaf samples were found to be significant.
