Application of Natural Materials as Tip Additives in Cigarette Products for Favor Enhancement and the Reduction of Harmful Substances

Abstract:

Structures and applications of cane(MZ)，citron(HR)and cunninghamia(G1)-derived tip additives in cigaretteswere investigated by GC-MS，sensory evaluation，SPME-GC-MS and SEM. Results showed thatthe sensory quality of the cigarettes with MZ and G1 was significant improved，the hazard indexes of the cigarettes with natural materials were greatly reduced(the hazard index of the cigarette with G1 was reduced by 23.08%)，three materials contained abundant aroma components with the types and the contents of aroma components in the cigarette with G1 beingthe highest at the high temperature，and the larger the specific surface area for the material was，the better the harm reduction for the cigarette was.
