Abstract:

To analyze the temporal and spatial variations of tobacco chemical composition usability in Sichuan Province, a new comprehensive evaluation system was established to calculate the usability index of tobacco chemical components. Taking the chemical indexes of 316 samples of ‘Yunyan 87’ upper leaves from five regions of Sichuan from 2010 to 2015 and from 2017 to 2018 as data sets, the chemical indexes were reassigned by membership function. Then, each index is reweighed by subjective, principal component, coefficient of variation and comprehensive weighting method, to evaluate the usability of tobacco chemical components. The results showed that: (1) except potassium and the ratio of potassium to chlorine, most other indexes were strongly correlated with each other; (2) the contents of reducing sugar and total nicotine of tobacco leaves in Sichuan were higher than standard contents, while the content of nitrogen and the ratio of nitrogen to alkali were lower; the proportion of reducing sugar content in the optimal range was small, but the total nitrogen, nitrogen alkali ratio, potassium and potassium chloride ratio performed well; on the whole, the coordination of chemical components of tobacco in Sichuan was good; (3) the usability index of tobacco chemical components in 2010 and 2017 was significantly lower than that in other years (P<0.05); (4) the usability index of tobacco chemical components in Liangshan and Panzhihua were significantly higher than that in Yibin, and that of Liangshan was more stable; (5) compared with the single weighting method, the comprehensive weighting method reduced the comprehensive score, but increased the difference between samples. The correlation analysis shows that the combination weighting-based comprehensive evaluation method is more reliable. The chemical components of upper leaves of ‘Yunyan 87’ in Sichuan Province perform well, and the spatial and temporal variations are significant. The comprehensive weighting method could increase the variation of chemical composition usability index among samples, so it is more reliable to evaluate the chemical composition characteristics of tobacco in Sichuan Province.
