Insight into the aroma profile of tobacco commercial blends

In this study, ultrasound-assisted extraction, using hexane as solvent was performed under different extraction conditions. The temperature range between 30 and 70 °C, time from 15 to 45 min, and solvent-solid ratio from 10 to 30 cm3 g-1 were chosen. GC/MS was employed for determination of volatile compounds in tobacco commercial blends composed of leaf lamina. Samples were obtained from tobacco factory „Fabrika duhana Sarajevo“, .Nicotine, neophytadiene and 4, 8, 13-duvatriene- 1, 3-diol were dominant compounds in all aroma profiles. Besides major compounds, tobacco blends contained variety of strait chain alkanes such as decane, dodecane, tridecane, tetradecane, pentadecane, hexadecane, heptadecane, octadecane, heneicosane, docosane, tricosane and tetracosane. Aroma is the most important attribute to define consumer acceptance of tobacco and tobacco products. Therefore, results obtained in this research could have further applications in the tobacco industry, but cosmetics and fragrance industry as well.
