Unraveling the Difference in the Composition/Content of the Aroma Compounds in Different Tobacco Leaves: For Better Use

The composition/content of aroma compounds in tobacco leaves in the different producing areas varies too much, and it is very meaningful to develop advanced analysis techniques to investigate the composition/content-producing area correlation. Here, gas chromatography-ion mobility spectroscopy (GC-I...

description The composition/content of aroma compounds in tobacco leaves in the different producing areas varies too much, and it is very meaningful to develop advanced analysis techniques to investigate the composition/content-producing area correlation. Here, gas chromatography-ion mobility spectroscopy (GC-IMS) was used to analyze the composition/content of aroma compounds in tobacco samples from eight different producing areas. With this technique, ion mobility spectrum, differential ion mobility spectrum, and fingerprint spectrum were constructed for two-dimensional analysis. Then, the principal component analysis (PCA) and similarity analysis were performed for the eight tobacco samples. The results showed that the GC-IMS can detect 197 volatile aroma compounds in tobacco leaves and 75 of them are well identified. The fingerprint spectrum directly showed the difference in the composition/content of volatile aroma compounds in tobacco leaves from different producing areas. PCA and similarity analysis can clearly distinguish tobacco samples from different producing areas. This work demonstrated that the application of GC-IMS in analyzing the composition/content of aroma compounds in tobacco leaves is efficient. GC-IMS is a very powerful tool to give a direct and visual comparison of the composition/content of aroma compounds in tobacco leaves from different producing areas. The relationship between the composition/content of aroma compounds and producing areas could be established by this advanced technology. This work offers the possibility of planting or grading tobacco with different taste and smell more precisely in the future.
