Abstract：With tobacco samples from the lower part of Henan production area as raw materials,the conventional chemical components and volatile aroma components in different microwave pretreated flue-cured tobacco leaves were analyzed by continuous flow analysis,high performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry(GC-IMS),etc.The results showed that microwave hydrothermal treatment could reduce the contents of water-soluble sugar,reducing sugar,plant alkaloid and phenolic substances in flue-cured tobacco leaves.Microwave hydrothermal treatment could increase the contents of total nitrogen and petroleum ether extract,and significantly increase the nitrogen-alkali ratio of flue-cured tobacco leaves(P≤0.05).The nitrogen-base ratio in the microwave hydrothermal 700 W-6 min treatment group was as high as 1.65.After microwave drying,the conventional chemical components in flue-cured tobacco leaves were still in the category of high-quality tobacco leaves,and the volatile alkali content increased significantly(P≤0.05).In addition,a total of 56 volatile aroma components were identified by GC-IMS,and the fresh aroma of flue-cured tobacco leaves could be increased by microwave water heat treatment,while the sweet flavor of flue-cured tobacco leaves could be increased by micro-wave drying treatment.
