Analysis of Tobacco Headspace Volatiles Using Tenax GC or Active Carbon

概要

Two simple methods, the Tenax GC method and the active carbon method, have been developed to analyze the headspace volatiles of tobacco. The headspace volatiles swept by helium from cut tobacco were collected by either Tenax GC or active carbon and were analyzed by gas chromatography after desorption by heating the Tenax GC or by extracting the active carbon with dichloromethane. The gas chromatograms of the headspace volatiles of flue-cured tobacco obtained by these two methods differed. Both methods showed good reproducibility and were applied to the analysis of the headspace volatiles of American and Japanese flue-cured tobacco samples. By principal component analysis, three or four principal components were. extracted from the 15 selected peaks of the headspace volatiles of these samples that had been obtained from both the Tenax GC and the active carbon methods.
