Abstract

The paper presents the results of investigation on the assessment of the possibility of adulteration of essential oils available on
the Polish market. The research was carried out by means of an infrared (FTIR) analysis on samples of the following oils: tea tree,
eucalyptus, ylang-ylang and patchouli. The obtained FTIR spectra were compared with that of vegetable oil (fat). Based on the
analysis, it was found that the patchouli oil was adulterated. ATR-FTIR is not very useful method sufficiently reliable method to
confirm adulteration of ylang-ylang oil.
