The stability of maltol-β-D-glucoside and its application in cigarette flavoring
In order to study the availability of maltol-β-D-glucoside in cigarette flavoring,a comparative study was conducted on the stability,thermal pyrolytic behavior rate and fragrance application effect of maltol and maltol-β-D-glucoside.The results showed that the placement stability and thermal stability of maltol-β-D-glucoside were significantly higher than those of maltol.The main thermal cracking product of maltol-β-D-glucoside was maltol.Adding maltol-β-D-glycoside to cigarettes in different ways could achieve different flavoring effects.The thermal decomposition transfer rate of maltol-β-D-glucoside to mainstream smoke particulate matter was 1.46%,which was lower than the transfer rate of maltol(3.83%).However,cigarettes with added maltol-β-D-glucoside had better aroma release uniformity and stability than those with maltol.Therefore,maltol-β-D-glucoside was a precursor of flavors with good stability and aroma uniformity,which had certain advantages in the field of cigarette flavoring.
