Abstract
Flavor is an important index to evaluate the sensory quality of tobacco. The process of fermentation is a key step in the production of aromatic substances in tobacco leaves and an important factor in improving their quality. Worldwide, reams of research show that chromatographic technology plays an irreplaceable role in the tobacco aromatic chemistry. Nevertheless, the degradation mechanism of latent aromatic compounds and the formation mechanism of characteristic aromatic substances have not been fully and systematically elucidated. In this study, the latest progress of basic methods, techniques, and research results of the separation, analysis, and identification of aromatic substances in fermented tobacco leaves were reviewed, and the next research and application directions were prospected. It is expected to provide theoretical reference for the study of molecular mechanism of tobacco flavor, reveal the degradation mechanism of potential aroma compounds, and help improve the quality of tobacco.
