The invention discloses a quantitative detection method for tobacco components. The quantitative detection method comprises the following steps: extracting a tobacco sample to obtain extract liquor; performing
component analysis on the extracting solution by adopting high-resolution liquid
chromatography-
mass spectrometry to obtain a
spectrogram of the tobacco sample; the high-resolution
liquid chromatography mass spectrometry adopts two
ion sources of an ESI source and an APCI source for detection, and the two
ion sources both adopt reversed-phase chromatographic columns for detection; in detection, under the ESI source condition, positive and negative
ion modes are adopted for scanning respectively, and under the APCI source condition, a positive ion mode is adopted for scanning. According to the quantitative detection method, two different ion sources are adopted, and
high coverage and detection precision are both considered; corresponding chromatographic columns are adopted for
liquid phase separation, separation of tobacco
metabolism components with different properties in a complex natural tobacco matrix is facilitated, and the separation efficiency and the coverage degree are improved; by combining the
ultrahigh resolution and high precision of the high-resolution liquid
chromatography-
mass spectrometry, the to-be-detected substance and the interfering substance are effectively distinguished, and the detection accuracy of various samples is improved.
