Abstract: Chicory concrete from three different habitats were isolated by solvent extraction,and 29,36 and 26 components were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrum（GC-MS）. The relative content of each peak was detected by the normalization method of peak area,palmitic acid,linoleic acid,ethyl linoleate,ethyl palmitate,ethyl linolenate and 2-acetylfuran are main components of this three concrete. The results showed that the volatile components of B was the most abundant,and the content distribution was uniform,concrete A and C has less content and mainly occupied by palmitic acid and linoleic acid.Flavouring test showed that these chicory concrete could improve cigarette flavour obviously and make cigarette flavour harmonious,plentiful,mellow and mild. The overall effect was B>A>C and 0.10% additive proportion was the best.

Key words: chicory（Cichorium Intybus L.）, volatile components, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, cigarette flavoring
