Abstract:

The flavor substances of cigar tobacco leaves play a decisive role in the stylistic characteristics of cigars. Fermentation is an important process to improve the quality of cigar tobacco, which can affect the type, content and composition ratio of flavor substances in cigar tobacco, thus determining the quality of cigar tobacco leaves and cigar tobacco quality. This paper reviews the mechanism of fermentation and flavor perception of cigar tobacco leaves and the progress of flavor analysis of cigar tobacco leaves under different fermentation conditions, summarizes their effects on cigar tobacco leaves, and looks forward to the future research on cigar flavors to provide theoretical support for related research.

Key words: fermentation, cigar tobacco leaves, flavor substances, flavor perception, analytical methods
