Abstract
Apparatus and methods for determining a characteristic of an aerosol generating material of an aerosol generating device are disclosed. The aerosol generating device comprises a heater for heating of the aerosol generating material in use. The apparatus is arranged to monitor a first property of the heating of the aerosol generating material, thereby to determine a heating profile of the aerosol generating material; analyse the heating profile to identify a feature of the heating profile corresponding to a heating of one or more constituents of the aerosol generating material; and determine, based on the identified one or more features, the characteristic of the aerosol generating material.
