Cigarette smoke irritation refers to a slight or noticeable unpleasant sensation of smoke to the senses, including irritation of the mouth, throat and nasal cavity. Research shows that some cigarettes produce unpleasant sour, bitter, spicy and astringent tastes due to the fact that substances such as volatile carbonyl compounds, phenolic compounds and ammonia with low molecular weight in smoke have stimulating effects, non-volatile organic acids have strong spicy, burning and rancidity at high concentration, and the substances stimulate taste acceptance and sensory nerves of oral cavities and sensory nerve endings and have negative effects on the sensory quality of the cigarettes. The isovaleric acid has strong volatility, has special unpleasant odor at higher concentration, has strong and lasting irritant acidic odor, and reflects strong irritation and obvious offensive odor on the sensory quality of the main stream smoke of the cigarette.

Has great significance for reasonably utilizing the raw and auxiliary materials of the cigarettes, properly selecting the processing technological parameters and improving the sensory quality of the cigarettes. At present, few adsorption materials are added into filter sticks, and the adsorption materials and the undesirable ingredients in the cigarette taste can be subjected to physical or chemical adsorption, so that the problem that the undesirable ingredients in the taste enter the oral cavity of a smoker is reduced. The requirement of reducing isovaleric acid in cigarette smoke in the form of a composite functional filter stick is an important subject to be solved urgently in the industry at present.
