Abstract:
Reducing the release of phenol in cigarette smoke is of great significance for reducing toxicant levels. Key factors influencing the phenol release in cigarette smoke were summarized and analyzed, including leaf production, leaf variety, stalk position, physical property, appearance quality, intrinsic quality and sensory quality of tobacco leaves. In addition, phenolic precursors in leaf, tobacco processing technology, tobacco blending, auxiliary materials (cigarette paper and filter, etc.) were also examined to deduce any selective reduction technology. Different measures and suggestions for selectively reducing phenol release in cigarette mainstream smoke were summarized from the aspects of tobacco production, regulation of phenolic precursors, tobacco blending and toxicant reduction technology. This review thus provides a reference source for reducing the phenol release in cigarette smoke and developing low-hazard cigarette products.
