The objective of this study was to determine the coumarin content of ground cinnamon purchased from retail markets in the Czech Republic. No sample was labelled with information on the botanical source, but, in some cases, the countries of origin were specified. For comparison, a single cinnamon sample imported directly from a plantation in Sri Lanka that came from Cinnamomum verum was analyzed. Results from 60 ground cinnamon samples comprising twelve brands confirmed a high content of coumarin, with mean levels ranging from 2,650 to 7,017 mg · kg(-1). The high coumarin content confirmed that these cinnamon samples obtained from cassia cinnamon were in contrast to the sample from Sri Lanka, which was coumarin-free.
本研究的目的是测定从捷克共和国零售市场购买的磨碎肉桂中的香豆素含量。没有一个样品标明植物来源信息,但在某些情况下,标明了原产国。为作比较,分析了一个直接从斯里兰卡种植园进口的来自锡兰肉桂的肉桂样品。对包括十二个品牌的60个磨碎肉桂样品的检测结果证实,香豆素含量很高,平均水平在2650至7017毫克·千克-1之间。高香豆素含量证实,这些从桂皮肉桂中获取的肉桂样品与来自斯里兰卡的不含香豆素的样品形成了对比。
