  • Objective】 To develop a qualitative and quantitative analytical method for simultaneously determining five carotenoids in tobacco leaves. 【Methods】 Tobacco leaves were extracted and purified by ultrasonic extraction combined with solid-phase extraction, and the carotenoids were quantitatively analyzed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-multistage mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MSn). 【Results】 The optimal extraction conditions were as follows: acetone was used as the ultrasonic extraction solvent, with a solid-to-liquid ratio of 1∶40, ultrasonic power of 120 W, and ultrasonic time of 50 min; while the optimal purification conditions were: HF Bond Elut C18 column, acetonitrile as the leaching solution, and dichloromethane as the eluent. Under the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode, the standard curves of the five carotenoids showed a good linear relationship with correlation coefficients (r) all greater than 0.999 5. The limits of detection (LOD) of the method were 66.00~224.00 μg/kg, the limits of quantification (LOQ) were 18.20~67.20 μg/kg, the average recoveries were 88.3%~93.3%, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were all less than 5%. 【Conclusion】 This method is simple, highly sensitive and precise, which is suitable for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the main carotenoids in tobacco leaves. It provides a reference for the research on the metabolic mechanisms of tobacco aroma precursors and the targeted improvement of tobacco leaf flavor quality.
