Fourier transform mid-infrared (MID-FTIR) spectroscopy coupled with chemometric analysis was used to identify and quantify coumarin (CMR) and ethyl vanillin (EVA) adulterations in pure vanilla extracts. Forty samples adulterated with CMR (0.25-10 ppm) and forty with EVA (0.25-10%) were prepared from
