Abstract:

In this paper, tobacco polyphenols were extracted through microwave-assisted technology, and their main components were identified by the combination of hgh-performance liquid chromatography, photodiode array detector and mass spectrography. Moreover, the effects of microwave power, methanol content, extraction time and material-to-liquid ratio on the polyphenols yield were investigated. It is seen from the response surface analysis （RSA） that, in the optimum extraction conditions for tobacco polyphenols, that is, With 53 % methanol as the solvent, a material-to-solvent ratio of 1：11, a microwave power of 560 W and an extraction time of 70 s, the yield of total to- bacco polyphenols reaches 22.38 mg/g （dry weight）. HPLC-PDA-MS results demonstrate that the main components in tobacco polyphenols are chlorogenic acid and rutin.
