A laboratory size smoke generator, working under controlled conditions, has been constructed. The generator is basically a closed system to allow control over the supply of air, and it can produce smoke at a specific, desired temperature (within ± 10°C) in the region 300–550°C. This makes possible meaningful and systematic studies of important properties of smoke generated at various temperatures, such as its antimicrobial, antioxidative, flavor‐ and color producing effects, and content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
