Determining the authenticity of methyl salicylate in Gaultheria procumbens L. and Betula lenta L. essential oils using isotope ratio mass spectrometry

The essential oils of wintergreen and birch are composed primarily of methyl salicylate. Because this compound can easily be synthesized, wintergreen and birch oils are frequently adulterated. By using Gas chromatography-combustion/pyrolysis-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-C/P-IRMS) in conjuncti...
