The invention discloses tomato extract. Components higher in proportion in the tomato extract are aldehydes, ketones, esters and alcohols compounds. Pectinase, papain and cellulase are added into thetomato pulp to perform the enzymolysis, the glucose is added into the enzymolysis solution to perform the Maillard reaction, a headspace volatile component is obtained by virtue of a distillation manner, residues are extracted by using a composite solvent of ethanol and water to obtain potential volatile, the headspace volatile component and the potential volatile component are mixed and refrigerated, and the supernatant is collected, thus obtaining the tomato extract. The tomato extract has the beneficial effects that the tomato extract can be applied to a cigarette, so that the smoke can besoftened, the cigarette fragrance is enriched, the sweetness is improved, the excitement is reduced, the smoking quality of the cigarette can be greatly improved, the enzymolysis efficiency in the preparation process can be greatly increased, and the time cost and the energy loss can be reduced.
