Headspace solid-phase microextraction−gas chromatography−mass
spectroscopy (HS-SPME−GC−MS) has been used for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of
flavor additives to tobacco.
Sampling conditions for the 100 μm methyl silicone fiber, 65
μm polyacrylate fiber, 65 μm methyl
silicone/divinylbenzene fiber, and 65 μm Carbowax/divinylbenzene
fiber were investigated. Menthol,
anethole, benzaldehyde, and tetramethylpyrazine were quantitated on
spiked Kentucky Reference
1R1 tobacco. Major components in mandarin orange oil, nutmeg oil,
and sweet fennel oil exhibited
linear relationships with concentration of the essential oil.
Limits of detection for 31 typical tobacco
flavors have been determined.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
