Analysis of the Effect of Glycerol Addition and Heating Temperature on the Puff-by-Puff Release of Volatile Organic Compounds from Heated Tobacco Products

Key Points

• To investigate how glycerol addition and heating temperatures affect the release of VOCs from heated tobacco products.
• Utilized large-volume thermal injection-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (LVTI-GC-MS) for analysis.
• Examined various glycerol concentrations and heating temperatures in experiments.
• Conducted puff-by-puff measurements to assess VOC release patterns.
• Identified significant differences in VOC release depending on glycerol levels and heating temperatures.
• Found that higher temperatures generally increased the release of specific VOCs.
• Observed that glycerol presence altered the composition of emitted VOCs during heating.
