Abstract:Head space solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method was developed to study the effects of different tempera-ture of the heater on the composition and content of aroma components in the test samples of different batches of cigarettes. The results were as follows: ① A total of 35 core aroma components were detected in two batches of finished cut tobacco, of which batches X and Y contained 30 and 34 kinds respectively; ② 3-methyl-3-buten-2-one, 2-hexene-1-alcohol, 2-(butoxyethoxy)ethanol, Methyl palmitate and 3,5-dimethylphenol were undetected components in X, while 3-methyl-1,2-cyclopentadione was undetected components in Y. 1,2-propanediol was the highest content of aroma substances; ③ F-test showed that the differen-ce in the content of aroma components in X and Y was resulted in by the temperature of heater and the temperature set at 270 ℃ was more conducive to retain aroma components in tobacco.
