Abstract
The recent gas chromatography isotope ratio mass spectrometry allows d elta(13)C measurements on very small amounts of compounds without prio r purification. So it is possible to carry and delta(13)C analysis of vanillin extracted from flavored foods. Here a method is described for the extraction of vanilla flavor from flavoured ice creams. The propo sed process is repeatable and no isotopic fractionation occurs. The co mparison between delta(13)C of vanillin extracted from ice cream and d elta(13)C of vanillin of the used flavor shows no significant differen ce.
