紫苏葶能明显地减少刺激性，去除卷烟中的苦、涩、辣等杂气，使烟气变得更加柔和细腻，余味纯净舒适，从而明显提高烟气质量可以在不改变烟叶原料的前提下，提高卷烟的品质等级，亦可以在不改变卷烟产品等级的前提下，使用更低等的烟叶原料。 在卷烟中添加紫苏葶，卷烟成本增加不多，但卷烟产品的售价可随卷烟产品品质的提高而提高。从而使卷烟厂获得明显的经济效益。
Human Endogenous Metabolite
The responses of the monomeric Tas1r2 subunits of human, rhesus monkey, squirrel monkey and mouse to Perillartine are examined, respectively. The human, rhesus monkey and squirrel monkey Tas1r2 subunits can be activated by Perillartine, while mouse Tas1r2 can not. The insensitivity of human, rhesus monkey, squirrel monkey and mouse Tas1r2 subunits to cyclamate precludes the probable involvement of Tas1r3 subunit in the assay. Replacement of the mouse Tas1r2 with rhesus monkey Tas1r2 (rhTas1r2/mTas1r3) leads to a gain of response to Perillartine. The dose-response curve show the efficacy of responses of the Tas1r2 subunits among species: hTAS1R2>rhTas1r2>smTas1r2>mTas1r2. These results demonstrate that the monomeric Tas1r2 subunit can be activated by Perillartine in a species-dependent manner.
