Cinnamic Aldehyde

Cinnamic Aldehyde: Overview

Cinnamic Aldehyde or Cinnamaldehyde is the organic compound that provides cinnamon with its distinctive flavour and smell. It is a pale yellow viscous fluid which is found naturally in the bark of the cinnamon trees and other species of genus cinnamomum. It is a common food, fragrance, and agricultural ingredient due to its strong antimicrobial effects and potential use as a natural insecticide. It is considered to be a strong skin sensitiser in concentrated form, but it is classified by regulatory agencies such as the FDA as Generally Recognised as Safe (GRAS).

Botany:-

Cinnamic Aldehyde is mainly found as a natural extract of the barks of Cinnamomum cassia (Cassia) and Cinnamomum zeylanicum (Ceylon Cinnamon). The essential oil is extracted from the bark, which contains cinnamaldehyde. The essential oil is purified by steam distillation to obtain industrial-grade purity, and then it is purified further by a careful fractional distillation to isolate the Cinnamic Aldehyde. The extraction and refinement procedures are highly regulated to preserve the olfactory and chemical properties of the aldehyde because of its easy oxidation to cinnamic acid.

Cinnamic Aldehyde Benefits

• It offers the traditional, warm, spicy taste and smell needed in food and perfume uses.
• It has strong antifungal and antibacterial effects and works against a broad spectrum of pathogens.
• It is a natural corrosion inhibitor of steel and other ferrous alloys in acidic conditions.
• It is used as a good, environmentally-friendly fumigant and pesticide in organic agriculture.

Cinnamic Aldehyde Uses

• It is mainly employed as a flavouring agent in ice creams, beverages, chewing gums and baked goods.
• It is one of the important components of oriental and spicy perfume formulations and masculine cologne.
• It is applied in oral care products such as toothpaste and mouthwash as a germicidal agent and a refreshing flavour.
• It is used in medicine as an anti-inflammatory and possibly as a blood-sugar-controlling substance.

Cinnamic Aldehyde Blends Well With

Cinnamic Aldehyde combines well with other spicy oils such as Clove and Cardamom, and citrus oils such as Orange and Mandarin. It also blends well with sweet notes such as Vanilla and balsamic resins such as Benzoin.

A Word of Caution

• It is a strong skin sensitiser and dermal irritant; do not handle directly and closely follow IFRA dermal limits.
• Very easy to oxidise; the aldehyde will be degraded into cinnamic acid by exposure to air.
• Keep it in a well-ventilated area to avoid any respiratory irritation by the concentrated vapours.

Storage Instructions

• Store Cinnamic Aldehyde in a tightly capped airtight amber glass, aluminium, or stainless steel container.
• The correct storage is essential to preserve the clear yellow colour and the sharp, spicy aromatic profile.
