The invention discloses a measuring method of 
pectin content in tobaccos and tobacco products, belonging to the technical field of tobacco analysis detection. The measuring method of the 
pectin content in tobaccos and tobacco products comprises the following steps: (1), adding acidic 
alcohol liquor into a tobacco sample, then, heating and refluxing, carrying out 
solid-liquid separation to obtain filtrate and filter residues, and making up to volume after cooling the filtrate to obtain liquor a; (2), adding 
acetic acid / 
sodium acetate buffer liquor and 
pectinase liquor into the filter residues, placing in a water bath for enzymolysis, carrying out suction 
filtration, and making up to volume to obtain liquor b; (3), getting a certain amount of liquor a, adding the 
acetic acid / 
sodium acetate buffer liquor and the 
pectinase liquor, placing in the water bath for enzymolysis, carrying out suction 
filtration, transferring the filtrate to a 
volumetric flask, adding a certain amount of liquor b, making up to volume to obtain to-be-measured liquor; and (4), enabling the to-be-measured liquor to pass through a 0.45-micron filter membrane and then carrying out 
ion chromatography analysis. The 
pectin content is calculated in terms of content of 
lactobionic acid. The measuring method disclosed by the invention is simple to operate, good in 
repeatability and high in 
recovery rate, and capable of satisfying batch measurement requirement of pectin content in the tobaccos and the tobacco products.
