Description
- 1. Technical Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a method for extraction of characteristic fragrant substances in tobacco leaves, and in particular, to a method for supercritical CO2 fluid extraction of characteristic fragrant substances in different fragrant tobacco leaves, and belongs to the tobacco field.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- The fragrances of flue-cured tobacco leaves are mainly classified into strong fragrance, mild fragrance and intermediate fragrance, and further include intermediary fragrances such as strong-to-intermediate fragrance, intermediate-to-strong fragrance, mild-to-intermediate fragrance, intermediate-to-mild fragrance, mild-over-strong fragrance, and strong-over-mild fragrance. After long-term development, characteristic types of tobacco leaves with certain geographical features have been formed in production of tobacco leaves in China; for example, mild fragrance flue-cured tobacco in Jiangchuan and Yuxi, Yu'nan, mild fragrance flue-cured tobacco in Yongding, Fujian, intermediate fragrance flue-cured tobacco in Guiding, Guizhou, and strong fragrance flue-cured tobacco in Xiangcheng and Jiaxian, He'nan. In summary, the fragrance style of flue-cured tobacco leaves in China has gradually changed from intermediate fragrance and strong fragrance to mild fragrance as a whole from northeast to southwest. For example, over 90% of tobacco leaves in Kaiyuan, Liaoning belong to intermediate fragrance, 51% of tobacco leaves in He'nan belong to intermediate-to-mild fragrance, 50% of tobacco leaves in Meitan, Guizhou belong to intermediate fragrance, and the other 50% belongs to intermediate-to-mild fragrance, 68% of tobacco leaves in Ningnan, Sichuan belong to intermediate-to-mild fragrance, over 70% of tobacco leaves in Yongding, Fujian belong to intermediate-to-mild and mild fragrances, 51% of tobacco leaves in Wenshan, Yunan belong to intermediate-to-mild fragrance, and so on. Although the classification of the three types of fragrances of tobacco leaves has been used, the evaluation mainly depends on sensory evaluation through smoking, and qualitative and quantitative indicators are absent.
- The basis of the style of cigarette lies in the raw tobacco leaves, while the key of the raw tobacco leaves lies in the fragrance style of the tobacco leaves. Studies show that chemical ingredients are the material basis for the formation of fragrance features of tobacco leaves. In-depth analysis of the chemical composition of different fragrant tobacco leaves and research on the correlation between important chemical ingredients and the fragrance of tobacco leaves have important practical significance for understanding and improving the intrinsic quality and availability of tobacco leaves, enhancing the regulation and control capability on cigarette formulation, and guiding procurement of tobacco leaves.
- Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is an extraction and separation technology that has developed rapidly at home and abroad in recent years. The supercritical fluid is a high-density fluid that is subject to a temperature and pressure higher than the critical temperature and the critical pressure, and has a high dissolving capability, high extraction rate, and good transmission performance. Small changes in temperature and pressure may result in a large change in solubility of the solute. By changing physical parameters (temperature and pressure), the dissolving capability of the fluid can be easily changed, thereby achieving the purpose of selective extraction and separation.
- Commonly used supercritical fluid includes methanol, ethanol, ethane, propane, ethylene, and CO2. CO2 has the following advantages: being capable of working at a low temperature, causing no changes of thermally unstable substances, having a low critical pressure that can be easily achieved in actual operation, being non-toxic, colorless, and odorless, having no pollution to products, being chemically stable, inexpensive and easily available. Consequently, in processing of natural products, CO2 is usually used as a working medium.
- Extraction of nicotine in tobacco leaves with a supercritical fluid has been reported, but a method for extraction of characteristic fragrant substances in different fragrant tobacco leaves through SFE has not been reported.
- The present invention is directed to a method for extraction of characteristic fragrant substances in tobacco leaves, which is applicable to different fragrant tobacco leaves, so as to establish the foundation for providing a unified method for evaluating fragrance styles of tobacco leaves.
- The technical solution adopted by the present invention is a method for supercritical extraction of characteristic fragrant substances in tobacco leaves of different fragrances, which includes the following steps:
- 1) pretreatment of tobacco leaves: shredding the tobacco leaves and placing the tobacco shreds into an extraction vessel with supercritical CO2 fluid;
- 2) setting the extraction pressure and the extraction temperature of the supercritical CO2 fluid to 100 to 350 bar and 35° C. to 70° C., performing static extraction on the tobacco shreds for 10 to 35 min under the condition, then setting the dynamic extraction flow rate of the supercritical CO2 fluid to 1.0 to 3.5 L/min, and performing dynamic extraction on the tobacco shreds for 5 to 15 min; and
- 3) collecting the obtained supercritical CO2 fluid extract, and obtaining key fragrant substances that act as determinants after complete evaporation of CO2.
- The used CO2 is food grade CO2.
- Preferably, the width of the tobacco shreds is 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm. The tobacco leaves are cut into shreds of 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm to fully infiltrate the tobacco leaves.
- Preferably, in Step 2), the extraction pressure and the extraction temperature of the supercritical CO2 fluid are set to 250 to 320 bar and 45° C. to 55° C.
- Preferably, in Step 2), static extraction is performed on the tobacco shreds for 20 to 30 min.
- Preferably, in Step 2) the dynamic extraction flow rate of the supercritical CO2 fluid is set to 2.0 to 3.5 L/min.
- Preferably, in Step 2), dynamic extraction is performed on the tobacco shreds for 10 to 15 min.
- Said tobacco leaves include three types of typical fragrance tobacco leaves and intermediary fragrance tobacco leaves. The three typical fragrances are strong fragrance, mild fragrance and intermediate fragrance, and the intermediary fragrances include strong-to-intermediate fragrance, intermediate-to-strong fragrance, mild-to-intermediate fragrance, intermediate-to-mild fragrance, mild-over-strong fragrance, and strong-over-mild fragrance.
- The key fragrant substances that act as determinants obtained through static extraction and dynamic extraction in combination are dissolved in anhydrous ethanol, and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results show that the types of fragrant ingredients contained in the different fragrant tobacco leaves are substantially the same, but the contents of the ingredients are different; the fragrant ingredients in the tobacco can be substantially extracted through one-time extraction. After the extract is dissolved in anhydrous ethanol, the solution is sprayed on the tobacco shreds after the supercritical CO2 fluid extraction, and after ethanol evaporation, the tobacco shreds are rolled into cigarettes, which are then subjected to evaluation smoking by experts. The tobacco shreds are compared with tobacco shreds that are not subjected to supercritical CO2 fluid extraction, and the result shows that the fragrances of the two types of tobacco shreds are fully the same. This comparison indicates that the supercritical CO2 extraction method provided by the present invention is applicable in extraction of characteristic fragrant substances in different tobacco leaves.
- In view that the fragrance style of tobacco leaves is currently determined primarily through evaluation smoking by experts, and unified objective standards are absent, the present invention provides a method for extraction of characteristic fragrant substances, which is applicable to different fragrant tobacco leaves. By analyzing the correlation between the fragrant ingredients in the extract obtained through the method and the fragrance of tobacco leaves, the internal relationship between the type and the content of the fragrant ingredient and the fragrance of tobacco leaves could be found, so that the analysis of fragrant ingredients extracted from the tobacco leaves can be used as an objective standard for evaluation of the fragrance of tobacco leaves. Therefore, the extraction method of the present invention is an efficient means for objectively estimating the fragrance of tobacco leaves, and establishes the foundation for providing a unified method for evaluation of fragrance styles of tobacco leaves.
- In the present invention, food grade supercritical CO2 fluid is used as the working medium, and the characteristic fragrant substances in different tobacco leaves are extracted through static extraction and dynamic extraction in combination. In the extraction method of the present invention, no entrainer is used, and the method has the advantages of being safe and non-toxic, is a simple and reproducible process, and has high reliability.
