Abstract:
A simple method has been refined to differentiate Korintji and Batavia cassias from cassias of different geographical origin and also from true cinnamons. A certain particle-size fraction of the spice is slurried in an isopropyl alcohol-water mixture, heated to 80°C, transferred to a 100 ml graduated cylinder, shaken, and allowed to settle over a 2 hr period. The height of the column of sediment is measured. Korintji and Batavia give average column heights of 85.0 ml with a standard deviation of 6.7, and Seychelle cinnamon and Saigon cassia give an average height of 25.3 ml with a standard deviation of 4.1.
