Chinese cassia (Cinnamomum cassia (L.) bark is widely used not only as a spice, but also medicinal plant raw material in many countries of the world. A procedure for thin-layer chromatographic identification of phenolic compounds in the cassia bark was developed and validated. Solutions of standard gallic acid and luteolin samples were used as comparison ones. The better separation of phenolic compounds was achieved in the ethyl acetate - toluene – anhydrous formic acid – water (40:30:10:4). The chromatographic characteristics that could identify raw material were established for Ceylon cassia (Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume) and Chinese cassia barks.
