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.



 


Cinnamon Essential Oil


Commonly known as dalchini, cinnamon contains sufficient amounts of manganese, iron, calcium and fibre. Its essential oils including cinnamyl acetate and cinnamaldehyde boost immunity. Cinnamon is also used as a wonderful cardio-protective ...


Cinnamaldehyde (more precisely trans-cinnamaldehyde or 3-phenyl-2-propenal), a major component of cinnamon essential oil, could be the antidote to superbug infections from bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.


Oils from thyme leaves, cumin seeds, and amyris wood also performed well, as did cinnamaldehyde, the fragrant main ingredient of cinnamon bark oil.


Uses of Cinnamon Essential Oil


- Add Cinnamon Bark or Cassia essential oil when baking cookies, muffins, or bread.


- Try adding a few drops of Cinnamon Bark essential oil to apple juice, hot cocoa, or tea.

Carboxylic Acids and Esters Available at Landmark

Carboxylic acids are compounds containing a functional group called the carboxyl group (-COOH). The general molecular formula for carboxylic acids is CnH2n+1COOH. An ester is an organic compound where the hydrogen in the carboxyl group is replaced with a hydrocarbon chain. Esters are derived from carboxylic acids and (usually) an alcohol. The chemical formula of an ester is RCO2R ′ , where R is the hydrocarbon parts of the carboxylic acid and R ′ is the introduced group. Both carboxylic acids and esters contain a carbonyl group with a second oxygen atom bonded to the carbon atom in the carbonyl group by a single bond.  In a carboxylic acid, the second oxygen atom also bonds to a hydrogen atom. In an ester, the second oxygen atom bonds to another carbon atom. The names for carboxylic acids and esters include prefixes that denote the lengths of the carbon chains in the molecules and are derived following nomenclature rules similar to those for inorganic acids and sa...

10 Questions & Answers to Learn More about Cinnamic Acid

Cinnamic acid  (CAS NO. 140-10-3) is an important substance because it is widely used in perfume, food, photographic, polymer and pharmaceutical industries, as well as for clinical and toxicological studies. Do you know anything about cinnamic acid? Here is a list of questions & answers which can help you to learn more about cinnamic acid. What is cinnamic acid? Cinnamic acid has the formula C6H5CHCHCOOH and is an odorless white crystalline acid, which is slightly soluble in water. Cinnamic acid is a polyphenol and an antioxidant. It is created by the deamination of phenylalanine and it is then itself converted to any of the various polyphenols synthesized by plants. It is sometimes called the parent polyphenol because all of the myriad polyphenol compounds synthesized by plants are derived from cinnamic acid. Thus whilst cinnamic acid is itself an antioxidant, its real importance stems from its role in the plant synthesis of the many important polyphenol ant...
