Objective: To study the influence of different moisture content in the drying process of the sheet on the composition and content of aroma substances in test samples of different batches of granular cigarettes of the same specification. Methods: A static headspace-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry （HS-GC/MS） method was established. The 2-phenethyl acetate was used as the internal standard. The NIST library were used to search for qualitative and internal standards. Quantitatively, the aroma components in two different batches （A, B） samples of the domestic commercial granular aroma cigarette brand R were determined. Results: ① When the moisture content was 15%, the main aroma components were detected in the two batches of finished aromatic cigarettes, including 38 kinds in the batch A and 37 kinds in the batch B; ② When the moisture content was 15%, the amount and content of aroma inducing components were the highest, followed by 12% and 18%; ③ The evaluation results of aromatic cigarettes were consistent with the relative contents of aromatic substances. Conclusion: When the moisture content at 15%, it is more conducive to the retention of aromatic components and the reduction of impurities and irritation.
