Abstract: The effects of adding different organic substances under conventional measure (CK) on chemical composition and the content of volatile aromatic matter in flue-cured tobacco leaves were studied by GC/MS in Nanyang, Henan province. The result showed that, Compared with the commonly used fertilizing measure, the treatments added soybean matters could obviously increase the content of total sugar, reduced sugar and potassium in flue-cured tobacco leaves, but the treatments added products of sesame had relatively less efficience and showed little difference in the content of other chemical composition between treatments. All the treatments could increase the total content of volatile aromatic matter significantly. The content of important aromatic matters neophytadiene, products degraded by caretene, products of aromatic amino acid metabolism, products of Maillard reaction and products degraded by cembrane were all increased to a certain degree. This indicated that adding different organic substances improved the harmony between the chemical componients in flue-cured tobacco leaves to some extent, thus increased the aroma quality of tobacco leaves. Different organic substances had different effects, among which the two treatments of adding fermented soya-bean milk were the best, followed by the treatment of adding bean powder, and adding sesame and gingili had less effects.

Key words: Organic substance, Flue-cured tobacco leaf, Chemical componients, Aroma quality
