The invention discloses a cigarette cherry extract characteristic
aroma component identification and
screening method and an
aroma quality monitoring method, and the method comprises the following steps: collecting cigarette cherry extract samples at a preset storage time point, obtaining volatile
aroma component information through a GC-IMS detection method, and determining the aroma quality of the cigarette cherry extract according to the types of volatile components and the relative content of the volatile components. The method comprises the following steps: calculating the ROAV value of each volatile component in combination with a sensory threshold, screening out the volatile component types with the ROAV values greater than 1, obtaining the characteristic aroma components of the cherry extract for the cigarettes, and establishing a characteristic aroma
fingerprint spectrum of the characteristic aroma components of the cherry extract for the cigarettes by applying
analysis software Vocal according to the chromatographic
retention time, the
ion migration time and the
ion strength, thereby obtaining the characteristic aroma
fingerprint spectrum of the characteristic aroma components of the cherry extract for the cigarettes. Therefore, a dynamic
tracking model of fragrance quality change is formed. The GC-IMS detection method without pretreatment is adopted, more real component information can be reserved, the detection process is rapid and convenient, direct sample injection can be achieved, and the problem of inaccurate detection data caused by complex pretreatment is solved.
