Separation and determination method for mobility of nicotine optical isomers in cigarettes

Abstract

The invention discloses a separation and determination method for the mobility of nicotine optical isomers in cigarettes. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) collecting nicotine optical isomers in cigarettes; 2, collecting nicotine optical isomers in cigarette aerosol; (3) carrying out accurate quantitative determination on S-(-)-nicotine and R-(+)-nicotine; and (4) calculating the mobility of the nicotine optical isomers in the cigarettes. According to the separation and determination method, a Trap column is adopted for the first time to replace a quantitative loop, so that a target object cut by a one-dimensional column can be completely collected, and quantitative determination is more accurate; it is found for the first time that the mobility of R-(+)-nicotine to aerosolin traditional cigarettes is obviously higher than that of R-(+)-nicotine to aerosol in heated cigarettes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of tobacco analysis, in particular to a method for separating and measuring the mobility of nicotine optical isomers in cigarettes. Background technique [0002] Nicotine is the most abundant alkaloid in tobacco and smoke aerosol, accounting for 90% to 95% of the total alkaloid content. It can act on the central nervous system of the human body and is the main driving force for smokers to smoke. The nicotine molecule contains a chiral center and has two optically active bodies: S-(-)-nicotine and R-(+)-nicotine, which are completely different in aerosol content, metabolic mechanism and physiological characteristics. Nicotine in tobacco mainly exists in the configuration of L-nicotine (S-(-)-nicotine), and L-nicotine accounts for more than 99% of the total nicotine. [0003] The migration rate of nicotine in cigarettes to aerosol has guiding significance for cigarette formulation. There are not many research reports ...

Problems solved by technology

In the normal phase liquid chromatography system, the samples, reagents, and moisture in the environment have a great influence on the stability of the method; while the analysis time of two-dimensional gas chromatography is too long, the sensitivity is not enough, and it is difficult to detect samples with a relative content of less than 0.5% in tobacco samples
