Abstract:

In order to accurately determine the content of solvents in tobacco flavors, a gas chromatography method was developed for the determination of ethanol, 1,2-propylene glycol and glycerol in tobacco flavor using 1,4-butanediol as an internal standard. Thirty tobacco flavor samples were tested by this method. Results show that the limit of detection and limit of quantitation are 0.019-0.088 and 0.063-0.293 g/L, respectively. The recoveries are 97.5%-101.6% with the relative standard deviations(RSD)ranging from 0.61% to 0.89%. 1,2-propylene glycol is detected, while glycerol is not detected in all samples; ethanol is detected in thirteen samples. This method has the advantages of simple pretreatment, high sensitivity and high accuracy, and is suitable for the determination of ethanol, 1,2-propylene glycol and glycerol in tobacco flavor.

Key words: tobacco flavor, ethanol, 1,2-propylene glycol, glycerol, gas chromatography
