Discussion
Cinnamon Bark Oil 0.5% - Looking at the retention times for the cinnamon bark
oil I conclude that 84.721% of the compound is Cinnamaldehyde, 6.756% is
unknown and 8.523% is Carvone.
Cinnamon Leaf Oil 0.5% Looking at the retention times for cinnamon leaf oil I
conclude that 94.231% of the compound is Eugenol and 5.769% of the
compound is Cinnamaldehyde.

Using the data we can plot a calibration curve and we can compare the retention
times of the compound to identify our unknown percentage of Cinnamaldehyde
and our I.S.
0.5% Cinnamon Bark Oil + 0.1% Carvone (I.S.)
Retention Time 1.93 and 4.99 with 1642 and 6462 peak areas respectively, so
The Peak Area Ratio = 3.94
By using the calibration curve we can identify that the % Cinnamaldehyde in the
unknown is 0.34%.
Therefore in the cinnamon bark oil 0.5% it is 68% Cinnamaldehyde.
