Abstract:

Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry(GC×GC-TOFMS) was applied to the  characterization of volatile and semi-volatile acidic compounds in oriental tobacco leaf. Simultaneous distillation extraction(SDE) was used as the sample extraction method. Two types of column sets were compared, and appropriate GC×GC separation conditions were suggested. The separation behavior on two-dimensimal plot of different kinds of compounds were investigated. TOFMS library search combining with  structured chromatogram of GC×GC was used to identify the acidic compounds in tobacco leaf. A total of 143 acidic compounds were tentatively identified, including 10 acid anhydrides, 43 organic acids and 90 phenolic compounds. The results show that GC×GC-TOFMS method is suitable for separation and identification of complex sample.
