Effects of citric acids on contents of nicotine and aroma components in cut tobacco

In order to improve quality of cigarettes, the effect of citric acid on nicotine and aroma components content was studied. Five different concentrations of citric acid solution, i.e. 0.5%, 0.9%, 1.3%, 1.7%, and 2.1% (w/w), were prepared and evenly sprayed on cut tobacco. After balancing the system f...

the effect of citric acid on nicotine and aroma components content was studied. Five different concentrations of citric acid solution
i.e. 0.5%
0.9%
1.3%
1.7%
and 2.1% (w/w)
were prepared and evenly sprayed on cut tobacco. After balancing the system for 48 h
tobacco was dried at set conditions (temperature 110 °C
air velocity 1.57 m/sec and rotating speed 12 r/min) at moisture content of 12%-13%
and then extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether and determined by GC/MS. Results showed that: 1) When added at 0% to 0.5%
citric acid and ketones and alcohol showed positive correlation and when added with over 0.5% it showed negative correlation. 2) Content of nicotine in dissociative state was continuously decreased
after adding citric acid to the system. Appropriate amount of addition of citric acid into tobacco was helpful to enhance aroma components
improve the smoking quality
