The invention relates to the technical field of chemical detection of cigarettes, and especially provides an identification method for oil stained cigarettes. The GC / MS identification method for oil stained cigarettes comprises the following steps: 1) collecting a plurality of types of oil directly related to production of cigarettes and respectively dissolving and extracting the types of oil with
ethyl acetate; 2) adjusting GC / MS parameters, carrying out
gas phase /
mass spectrometry detection on the extracted solutions of oil, establishing different chromatograms to form a chromatogram
database, and determining fingerprints; 3) taking cigarette papers having oil stains, immersing the cigarette papers with
ethyl acetate, carrying out extracting, concentrating the extract with a
distillation apparatus, and carrying out
gas phase /
mass spectrometry on the concentrate to obtain a
chromatographic fingerprint; 4) comparing fingerprints of the
chromatographic fingerprint of oil stained cigarettes with fingerprints in the established chromatogram
database to identify which oil
stain is on the oil stained cigarettes. The invention enables fast and effective identification of oil stains generated in the production of cigarettes, provides a basis for identifying a problematic process in the production of cigarettes, and allows problematic cigarettes to be traceable.
