Abstract: The achievements about analysis of organic acids in tobacco at home and abroad over past years were reviewed comprehensively, and analyzed the properties and effects of various organic acids, such as volatile, semi-volatile and nonvolatile acids. Pretreatments of samples included solvent extraction, solid phase extraction, stream distillation, etc. Finally, this paper comprehensively introduced analysis of organic acids in tobacco about gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ion chromatography (IC) and other methods. It was considered that it was possible to get a good understanding of various elements in smoke as the application and development of this modern separation technology and analysis equipment. And it provided factual basis for perfuming in tobacco industry.
