When the extraction temperature is 100 ℃, the recovery rate of the 5 kinds of the phenylglycolic acid ester reaches 95.48 to 100.97 percent. There was no significant difference in recovery as the temperature continued to rise to 120 ℃. When the extraction temperature is raised to 140 ℃, the recovery rate is reduced to 88.57-96.91%. The dissolving capacity of the analyzed substance can be improved by increasing the extraction temperature, the acting force between the solvent and the sample matrix is reduced, and the extraction efficiency is improved; however, too high a temperature may cause degradation of the target substance and increase in the solvent density, decrease the diffusion coefficient, and decrease the recovery rate. And considering that the higher the temperature, the more energy is consumed, the extraction temperature is the best at 100 ℃.
Selecting a certain grade of cut tobacco samples in the same batch, setting the static extraction time to be 5min, 10min, 15 min, 20 min and 25min respectively, and inspecting the influence on the extraction result. The diffusion of the extract to the extraction reagent can be increased by increasing the static extraction time, so that the extraction rate is improved; however, the static extraction time at high temperature increases the possibility of thermal degradation of the extract, reducing the recovery. The result of the recovery rate after adding the standard shows that the recovery rate reaches 96.19-103.51% in 5min, and the recovery rate has no obvious difference along with the extension of the extraction time, thereby meeting the analysis requirement. For shortening the analysis time, the static extraction time is preferably 5 min.
Selecting a certain grade of cut tobacco sample in the same batch, and investigating the influence of the cycle times of the static extraction time on the extraction, wherein the cycle times are respectively 1,2 and 3. Because the static extraction time is divided into different cycles, rather than simply lengthening the time of a single extraction, fresh solvent can be introduced in the middle of the extraction, which helps to maintain an effective solvent/sample balance, especially for high concentration samples or difficult to extract samples. The recovery rate of the cycle 2 is obviously improved to 1, and reaches 95.26-105.42%, while the recovery rate of the cycle 3 is not obviously increased compared with the recovery rate of the cycle 2. In order to reduce the amount of organic solvent used, the number of cycles is preferably 2.
