Abstract:
In order to effectively discriminate tobacco leaf samples of different grades or from different areas,24 leaf samples of C2F,B2F and X2F grades of different cultivars from Guangdong,Fujian,Chongqing and Sichuan were tested by electronic nose,and the test data were analyzed with constellation diagram clustering method.The results showed that the said method could effectively distinguish 16 tobacco leaf samples by their growing areas,the leaf samples in the order of their comprehensive values were Chongqing >Guangdong >Sichuan >Fujian.The 12 samples of cv.Honghuadajinyuan from Sichuan were effectively distinguished by their grades,the order of their comprehensive values were C2F >B2F >X2F.This method provides an assistant means to subjective grading of tobacco leaves.
