Abstract

Rationale

The cigars have characteristic flavors in smoke when compared with cigarettes, and cigars from various origins also have a difference in taste. However, little information can be found about the difference in chemical components of smokes between cigar and cigarette as well as between cigars, so it is interesting to compare their pyrolysis product distribution.

Methods

The cigarette and cigar leaves were pyrolyzed in a microfluidized-bed reactor, and the pyrolysis vapors were condensed and collected using cold traps. Mass spectrometric analysis of condensed liquids was performed utilizing electrospray ionization-orbitrap mass spectrometry in both positive and negative ion modes.

Results

The mass spectra of condensable pyrolysis products of three tobacco leaves were obtained by Orbitrap-MS in both positive and negative ESI modes. The DBE values (to carbon atom number) and the relative distribution (to nitrogen or oxygen atom number) of different products were carefully compared and discussed.

Conclusion

The main difference in pyrolysis products between cigarette and cigar leaves relates to N₁–N₂ class compounds in high-mass range as well as highly unsaturated nitrogenated compounds, while the one between two cigar leaves is associated with C_xH_yO_zN_5–9 and C_30-50H_yO_zN_w compounds. Besides, the oxygenated products that fall into the H/C > 2 and O/C < 1 ranges are also characteristic for Dominican cigar.

期刊介绍： Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry is a journal whose aim is the rapid publication of original research results and ideas on all aspects of the science of gas-phase ions; it covers all the associated scientific disciplines. There is no formal limit on paper length ("rapid" is not synonymous with "brief"), but papers should be of a length that is commensurate with the importance and complexity of the results being reported. Contributions may be theoretical or practical in nature; they may deal with methods, techniques and applications, or with the interpretation of results; they may cover any area in science that depends directly on measurements made upon gaseous ions or that is associated with such measurements.
