Abstract：In order to study the effect of membrane separation technology on the volatile components and sensory quality of low-grade tobacco leaf extract,0.1 μm microfiltration membrane,300 kDa and 10 kDa ultrafiltration membranes were used to separate low-grade tobacco leaf extract,and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS)combined with principal component analysis and cluster analysis were used to explore the differences in volatile components of the separated components and then the cigarette flavoring test was carried out.The results showed that:1)A total of 71 volatile components were detected in unseparated fraction(M0),0.1 μm permeable solution(M1),0.1 μm interceptor solution(M2),300 kDa permeable solution(M3),300 kDa permeable solution(M4),10 kDa permeable solution(M5)and 10 kDa retentate(M6),and most of the volatile components were enriched in M6.2)The seven membsrane-separated components could be divided into 3 categories,the volatile components of M0 and M1 components were similar,the volatile components of M2,M4,M5 and M6 components were similar,and M3 was significantly different from the other 6 components.3)M3 had the best flavoring effect,combined with GC-MS detection and analysis,the content of volatile components such as megastigmatrienone,neophytadiene and furfural,which played an important role in cigarette sensory,was significantly higher than that of M4,M5 and M6,enhancing the aroma quality,aroma intensity,sweetness and smoke concentration of cigarettes.
