Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tobacco product quality evaluation, and in particular to a GC-IMS-based pattern recognition analysis method for flavor and fragrance systems. Background Art

[0002] Flavor and fragrance system refers to special cigarette paper made by adding flavors, fragrances, extracts and their materials with the purpose of enhancing flavor, sweetening and coloring during the manufacturing process of cigarette paper. When the cigarette burns, the flavoring additives on the cigarette paper release the flavor components through volatilization, cracking and other methods to achieve the purpose of imparting a certain characteristic flavor. In recent years, cigarette paper flavoring technology has been widely used in the production of high-end cigarettes to improve the smoking quality of cigarettes. It has the advantages of effectively masking the impurities of cigarettes, giving the smoke a sweet and smooth feeling, reducing the irritation of cigarettes, and increasing the softness and delicacy of smoke. Due to the large number of volatile components, complex components and low content of aroma components contained in the flavor and fragrance system, it is difficult to trace the raw materials of the flavor and fragrance system, and there is a lack of effective stability monitoring methods. Therefore, there is no mature and reliable quality control system for the quality of the flavor and fragrance system, which affects the sensory quality stability of the cigarette brand.

[0003] At present, the main method for quality control of flavors and fragrances in my country is still physical evaluation indicators such as acidity, miscibility, refractive index, and density.

[0060]

[0061]

[0062] Specifically, the headspace injection conditions when using a GC-IMS flavor analyzer for detection include:

[0063] The injection volume is 200 μL; the incubation time is 20 min; the incubation temperature is 90 °C; the injection needle temperature is 95 °C; the incubation rotation speed is 500 rpm;

[0064] The chromatographic conditions when using a GC-IMS flavor analyzer for detection include:

[0065] The chromatographic conditions of gas-phase ion mobility spectrometry are: the analysis time is 20 min; the type of chromatographic column is WAX; the column length is 30 m; the inner diameter is ID - 0.53 mm; the film thickness is FT 1 μm; the column temperature is 60 °C; the carrier gas / drift gas is N2; the IMS temperature is 45 °C;

[0066] The GC chromatographic conditions: at an injection time of 0, the drift gas flow rate is 150 mL / min, the carrier gas flow rate is 2 mL / min, and the acquisition status is rec; at an injection time of 2 min, the drift gas flow rate is 150 mL / min, the carrier gas flow rate is 10 mL / min; at an injection time of 20 min, the drift gas flow rate is 150 mL / min, the carrier gas flow rate is 100 mL / min; at an injection time of 30 min, the drift gas flow rate is 150 mL / min, the carrier gas flow rate is 100 mL / min, and the acquisition status is stop.

[0067] Before using a GC-IMS flavor analyzer for detection, the method further includes:

[0068] Performing pretreatment on the sample, specifically including:

[0069] Taking 0.5 g of cigarette paper and placing it in a 20 mL headspace vial, incubating at 90 °C for 20 min and then injecting the sample.

[0070] Step S2: Using a supervised pattern recognition method, perform feature pattern recognition on the gas chromatography tandem ion mobility spectrometry data of various types of samples for sensory omics data, and establish a classification model for the complex system of flavors and fragrances.

[0071] Specifically, in the present invention, through the ModelLab Matman general chemometric solution software (Chemmind Technologies, Beijing, China), the gas chromatography-tandem ion mobility spectrometry data of various types of samples are subjected to feature analysis of sensory omics data, and in the ModelLab Matman general chemometric solution software, through at least one of the random forest pattern recognition modeling algorithm and the partial least squares discriminant (PLS-DA) modeling algorithm, the gas chromatography-tandem ion mobility spectrometry data of various types of samples are subjected to pattern recognition of sensory omics data.

[0072] Among them, the number of decision trees adopted by the random forest pattern recognition modeling algorithm is 100; the eigenvalue algorithm adopted is Sqrt; the maximum tree depth is 30; the minimum impurity reduction is 0.01; the preprocessing algorithm adopted is UV scaling.

[0073] The prediction confusion matrix of the random forest model for each sample is shown in Figure 2 , Figure 2 showing the accuracy of the prediction results when the classification model established based on the random forest pattern recognition modeling algorithm groups each type of sample. When all predictions are correct, all samples will be located on the diagonal of the matrix in the figure. If there is a discrepancy between the prediction and the actual grouping, or if there is no attribution, the number of misjudged samples corresponding to it will deviate from the diagonal and be shown.

[0074] The tree distribution results of the random forest model for each sample are shown in Figure 3 , Figure 3 showing the distribution of 100 random decision trees for random forest pattern recognition modeling, Figure 3 in which it shows that most of the discriminant results are good. Although there are individual trees with poor prediction results, through the voting and scoring mode, the high accuracy of the overall prediction results is ensured. The effectiveness of the clear water sample is 77.33%, the effectiveness of the cigarette paper is 99.68%, the effectiveness of the formed cigarette is 99.68%, and the effectiveness of the combustion is 99.35%.

[0075] Figure 4 is a schematic flow chart of the random forest decision tree topology for each sample, Figure 4 showing the decision topology structure of one of the random forest trees, which is used as an example decision process. Through the binary tree method, each key variable is divided in turn (≤ comparison), and finally the correct prediction for each type of sample is obtained (classified with different symbols).

[0076] Figure 5 is a bar chart of the contribution scores of the independent variables of the random forest for each sample, Figure 5Show the statistical results of all independent variables (compounds) arranged in descending order of their contribution degrees to the random forest prediction grouping (the increase in binary tree purity and the decrease in entropy).

[0077] Furthermore, the number of latent variables retained by the partial least squares discriminant (PLS-DA) modeling algorithm is 5; k = 7-fold cross-validation is adopted in cross-validation; the number of random simulations is 10 times; the preprocessing algorithm adopted is UV scaling.

[0078] Among them, Figure 6 is the PLS-DA pattern recognition score plot, Figure 6 showing that all 4 types of samples are well distinguished, while the blank sample is closer to the original cigarette paper, and most samples do not exceed the 95% confidence interval of Totelling’s T2 (shown by the ellipse).

[0079] Figure 7 is the PLS-DA pattern recognition prediction classification probability distribution plot, Figure 7 showing the normal distribution probability density function of the predicted values of the PLS-DA pattern recognition model for each sample category. The sharper the peak shape and the less the overlap between the peaks, the higher the prediction performance of the classification model for the samples of this category.

[0080] Figure 8 is the PLS-DA pattern recognition cross-validation recognition rate result, Figure 8 showing the trend change relationship between the number of latent variables selected by the PLS-DA pattern recognition model for modeling and the model recognition rate (%). The optimal number of latent variables used for modeling should be at the highest point of the curve in the figure. The statistical table of the PLS-DA pattern recognition model recognition rate of the flavoring cigarette paper and its products is shown in Table 2.

[0081] Table 2 Statistical table of the PLS-DA pattern recognition model recognition rate of the GC-IMS data of the flavored cigarette paper and its products

[0082]

[0083] The S-plot of the PLS-DA pattern recognition model of each sample is shown in Figure 9 , Figure 9The figure shows a scatter plot of S-type independent variables (compounds) drawn with the covariance of independent variables (Pcorr contribution) and the correlation of independent variables (reliability) as the coordinate axes in the PLS-DA pattern recognition, illustrating the importance of each independent variable for regression classification prediction. Among them, the independent variables located in the first quadrant of the coordinate axis (plus sign in the upper right corner) play a positive correlation role in classification, while the independent variables located in the third quadrant of the coordinate axis (plus sign in the lower left corner) play an exactly opposite negative correlation role in classification. The statistical results of the significance of independent variables in the PLS-DA pattern recognition model for the GC-IMS data of each sample are shown in Table 3, and Table 3 only lists the top 30 independent variables (compounds) with the highest VIP scores.

[0084] Table 3 Statistical table of the significance of independent variables in the PLS-DA pattern recognition model for the GC-IMS data of flavored cigarette papers and their products

[0085]

[0086]

[0087] Step S3: Determine the sample category to which the unknown sample belongs according to the classification model.

[0088] Among them, the sample categories to which the unknown sample belongs include flavored cigarette paper samples, finished cigarette paper samples, burned finished cigarette paper samples, and blank paper samples.

[0089] In an implementation manner of the pattern recognition analysis method of the flavor and fragrance system based on GC-IMS of the present invention, step S3 may specifically include:

[0090] Step S31: Detect the unknown sample to obtain the gas chromatography tandem ion mobility spectrometry data of the unknown sample.

[0091] Step S32: Input the gas chromatography tandem ion mobility spectrometry data of the unknown sample into the classification model to obtain the sample category to which the unknown sample belongs.

[0092] Figures 2 - 9 The results show that both the random forest pattern recognition modeling algorithm and the partial least squares discriminant modeling algorithm adopted in the present invention can preferably distinguish four categories of samples, namely flavored cigarette papers, finished cigarette papers, burned finished cigarette papers, and blank papers. The recognition rates of each model algorithm for the four categories of samples are between 99% and 100%. It is indicated that there are significant differences in the composition of volatile compounds among different types of samples.
