> Also, isn't o-cinammonol the active flavor ingredient in Colas?
I think you are referring to cinnamaldehyde (a/k/a cinnamal) which
is the active constituent of cinnamon flavorings.
It could be used in cola products, but since all of the formulas are
proprietary in nature, only an insider would know for certain.
Just for haha's, over the weekend I took some New Coke, Classic Coke,
and Pepsi, evaporated the water, mixed the gunk with KBr, pressed it into
pellets, and put in in our IR spec. All three samples were quite different,
and I saw enough absorbtion peaks to make a mountain range. It would take a
month of Sundays with a Stadtlers Atlas to even begin to guess what is in
this stuff. The gross IR scan is too complex, and a preliminary fractionation
would be necessary in order to get useful analytical data on what is in our
favorite soft drinks.
Our IR spec is sort of dumb, but if anyone out there in Netland has
access to a smart IR spec, like a P-E 580B with SEARCH and PECDS, I would be
curious to see some results.
