Popis: Methyl salicylate is a naturally occurring compound in black tea. A method has been developed for the determination of the methyl salicylate in tea samples. The method consists of hot extraction of the teas withn-hexane, distilling off the solvent and steam distillation of the resinous mass to obtain the volatile oil. This oil was analysed gas chromatographically using suitable standards. The effect of methyl salicylate on the overall flavour quality is also reported.
