Abstract: | The aim of this work was to determine the concentration of polyphenols, organic acids in tobacco of different areas, grades and varieties by ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC/MS/MS) and to achieve statistical classification by principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). The obtained results revealed that tobacco of different varieties can be correctly classified according to the contents of polyphenols or organic acid. The results of PCA showed that different grades and geographic regions cannot completely be discriminated using polyphenols or organic acid as independent variables. However, there were marked differences in special class from the same type or grade tobacco. At the same time, the results of LDA also showed that the samples were correctly classified at 100% for different varieties of tobacco, but only 55.3% and 60% for different grades and areas, respectively. These results demonstrated that the composition of polyphenols and organic acids can be used as the useful variables to characterize the type and the special class or grade of tobacco. |
