Abstract:

Cembratriene-diols are the precursors of important neutral aroma components and their derivatives, which affect significantly the aroma style and tobacco quality. In this study, a method of in-series combination of ultrasound-assisted extraction and online liquid chromatography-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-GC/MS) was constructed for the analysis of cembratriene-diols in tobacco. Cembratriene-diols were first extracted by ultrasound-assisted extraction and then on-line clean-up and analysis by online LC-GC/MS system. The pretreatment was highly efficient and easy-handling. Good recovery and reproducibility had also been achieved. This method was subsequently applied to the analysis of cembratriene-diols extracted from different regions of tobacco leaves. The satisfactory performance indicated that this strategy was suitable for the high-throughput analysis of cembratriene-diols in tobacco.

Key words: tobacco leaf, cembratriene-diols, silylation derivatization, liquid chromatography-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-GC/MS)
