Abstract
The determination of o-methoxycinnamaldehyde is described, based upon an absorption measurement at 1266 cm−1 in the infra-red region of the spectrum together with the normal assay for total aldehydes. Comparison of the absorption at 1266 and 1312 cm−1 may be used qualitatively to distinguish between oils derived from the bark of Cinnamomum cassia Blume and those from the leaves and twigs.Keywords
