The invention discloses lily glycerol triacetate extract and application of the lily glycerol triacetate extract in cigarettes. Lily powder which is completely washed, dried and smashed to range from 10 meshes to 40 meshes serves as raw materials, glycerol triacetate serves as an extracting agent, firstly, extraction is conducted in a heating reflux mode, and then the lily glycerol triacetate extract is prepared through microwave extraction. The glycerol triacetate serves as a solvent, the lily glycerol triacetate extract is prepared into a solution with the concentration ranging from 2% to 5%, the solution is evenly sprayed to filter stick tows according to the 7-8% weight ratio of acetic acid fiber tows, cigarette filter sticks are prepared, and the cigarettes with the filter sticks containing effective lily components are prepared in the conventional cigarette rolling process. The extract can remarkably improve sweetness of the cigarettes, cigarette smell is abundant and coordinated, irritation and offensive odor are relieved, and the smoking quality of the cigarettes is effectively improved. The lily glycerol triacetate extract is simple in production process, high in operability and standardization and low in cost, raw materials are easy to obtain, industrial production is conveniently achieved, and good application prospects are achieved.
