Cinnamaldehyde - A Major Component of Cinnamon Essential Oil

 Basic Information about Essential Oils


Essential oils are aromatic oily liquids obtained from plant materials, such as: seed, bark, roots, stems, leaf, flower, resins and other parts of the plants. They can be obtained by expression, fermentation, or extraction, but steam distillation is the most commonly used method. As these oils replicate the plant in terms of its nutrient profile, scent and flavour, these are highly concentrated and must be used in regulated quantities.

Applications of Trans-cinnamic Acid

Trans-cinnamic acid, also known as (2e)-3-phenyl-2-propenoic acid or (E)-cinnamate, is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Trans-cinnamic acid is a sweet, balsam, and honey tasting compound and can be found in a number of food items such as maitake, mustard spinach, common wheat, and barley, which makes trans-Cinnamic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Trans-cinnamic acid can be found primarily in saliva. Trans-cinnamic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Trans-cinnamic acid is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound. Cinnamic acid is an organic compound with the formula C6H5CHCHCO2H. It is a white crystalline compound that is slightly soluble in water, and freely soluble in many organic solvents. Classified as an unsaturated carboxylic acid, it occurs naturally in a number of plants....

Fragrance or Flavor Odor Type Listing

Fragrance and flavor substances are comparatively strong-smelling organic compounds with characteristic, usually pleasant odors. The odors of single chemical compounds are extremely difficult to describe unequivocally. The odors of complex mixtures are often impossible to describe unless one of the components is so characteristic that it largely determines the odor or flavor of the composition. Although an objective classification is not possible, an odor can be described by adjectives such as flowery, fruity, woody, or hay-like, which relate the fragrances to natural or other known products with similar odors. Such as, Pure ethyl cinnamate has a fruity and balsamic odor. A few terms used to describe odors are listed below: Aldehydic odor note of the long-chain fatty aldehydes, e.g., fatty-sweaty, ironed laundry, seawater Animal(ic) typical notes from the animal kingdom, e.g., musk, castoreum, skatole, civet, ambergris Ba...
