Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2002/063275

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A method of capturing volatile components whereby volatile components contained in a solid substance such as tobacco leaves can be surely captured. An apparatus provided with a sample tube (10) in which a sample comprising a solid substance containing volatile components is contained, a gas-filling unit (16) by which an inert gas is filled into the sample tube, a thermostat (12) in which the sample tube is packed and the sample contained in the sample tube is maintained at a definite temperature, and a canister (20) which is selectively connected to the sample tube under preliminarily reduced pressure. After filling the sample tube contained a sample (S) therein with an inert gas, the sample is maintained at a definite temperature. Next, the canister under preliminarily reduced pressure is connected to the sample tube and the components vaporized from the sample are thus captured.
