Study on puff-by-puff delivery discipline of flavor components in mainstream smoke of cigarettes with different permeability.

In order to investigate the puff-by-puff discipline of flavor components in the mainstream cigarette smoking, a 20-channel rotary disc smoker modified from a patent in laboratory was used to achieve the puff-by-puff smoking of cigarettes. A GC-MS quantitative analysis method for neutral and alkaline flavor components in single-mouthful particulate phase of mainstream cigarette smoke was established. By using the established analytical method, the puff-by-puff delivery discipline of flavor components and the effects of the permeability of cigarette paper and packaging paper were studied. The results showed that: 1) The established analytical method had a good precision and recovery and was suitable for the quantitative analysis of neutral and alkaline aroma substances in single-mouthful gaseous and granular phase of cigarette smoke. 2) The transport capacity of tar and nicotine in the mainstream cigarette smoke steadily increased with the increase in the number of suction mouths, and decreased with the increase in the permeability of cigarette paper and packaging paper. 3) The transmission of neutral and alkaline aroma components increased with the increase in the number of suction mouths, but the transmission of various flavor components was slightly different, and decreased with the increase of the permeability of cigarette paper and packaging paper. 4) The puff-by-puff contents of neutral and alkaline aroma components in gaseous and granular phase of the mainstream smoke per unit tar and nicotine were the lowest in the first puff, and then were in line with the number of suction puffs.
