Quality and Distribution Characteristics of Different Flavor Types of Enshi Tobacco

The characteristics of regional distribution and quality of different flavor types from Enshi (Yunyan 87, C3F) were analyzed. The results showed that the distribution at different altitude was different among three flavor types. The tobacco leaves had intense-to-intermediary and intermediary-to-intense fragrance in all altitudes, but the intense with delicate character only existed under 800 m. The total sugar and reducing sugar from different flavor types were higher than normal, but the chlorine content of tobacco leaves was lower than normal. The harmony of chemical composition still needed to be improved. The sensory quality of different flavor types were fine, especially the intense with delicate character.
