Simultaneous determination of 23 flavor additives in tobacco products using gas chromatography–triple quadrupole mass spectrometry.

Highlights: [•] A method based on GC–QqQ MS/MS was developed for tobacco flavor additives measurement. [•] An average of 40% timesaving is achieved in the purification compared to the reported methods. [•] The MS/MS fragmentation pathways of cinnamic esters additives were illustrated.
