A method for determining a mixing ratio A of n organic, miscible components in a mixture of the components. The method includes the following steps: i) preparing n components in pre-defined quantities, where n is an integer ≥2; ii) mixing a respective inorganic marker with one of the respective components in a pre-defined mixing ratio for each of the respective inorganic markers to the respective component, at least one component being mixed with one inorganic marker, and the inorganic markers being of different chemical natures; iii) producing a mixture of the components; (iv) performing an analysis for the quantitative determination of the quantities of the inorganic markers; and v) determining the mixing ratio A of the n components from the defined quantities of the inorganic markers by means of the pre-defined mixing ratios for each of the respective inorganic markers to the respective component.
