Abstract：Tobacco alkali spices(TASs)were prepared from tobacco leaves of different origins,such as Yunnan,Hunan,Sichuan,Brazil,the United States,and Zimbabwe,and were analyzed by cigarette flavoring effect evaluation,chemical composition and volatile components analysis in order to screen the tobacco leaves suitable for the preparation of cigarette flavorings.The Zimbabwe TASs could enrich the aroma and concentration,especially the original aroma of cigarette tobacco.The chemical compositions of American and Brazilian TASs were obviously different from that of domestic tobacco and Zimbabwean tobacco.The contents of total polyphenols,total acids and total plant alkaloids of TASs from the United States and Brazil were higher than those of domestic and Zimbabwe TASs,while the total sugars content were lower than those of domestic and Zimbabwe TASs.Six TAS samples of different origins could be divided into three categories:United States and Brazil,Yunnan and Sichuan,Hunan and Zimbabwe.The content of Damarone in volatile components of TASs was high and the threshold was low,which contributesd the most to the flavor of the sample.In addition,2-acetyl pyrroline,violonone,megalotrienone Ⅳ,megalotrienone Ⅱ,megalotrienone Ⅰ,phenylacetaldehyde,nonylaldehyde,4-vinyl guaiacol and linalsol which had high ROAV were the main contributors to the aroma of TASs.
