Usage

Chemical Properties

Different sources of media describe the Chemical Properties of 8015-91-6 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Extracted by steam distillation of leaves from Cinnamomum zeylanicum Nees. Light to dark brown liquid; spicy cinnamon, clove odor, and taste. Sol in fixed oils, propylene glycol, mineral oil; insol in glycerin.
2. Cinnamon bark oil (Sri Lanka) is obtained by steam distillation of the dried bark of the cinnamon tree. The oil is produced in Sri Lanka in a quantity of ～10 t/yr. It is a yellow liquid with the odor and burned, spicy taste of cinnamon. The main constituent is cinnamaldehyde. d2525 1.010–1.030; n20D 1.5730–1.5910; α20D ?2 ° to 0 °; aldehyde content (calculated as cinnamaldehyde): 55–78%; solubility: 1 vol in at least 3 vol of 70% ethanol. The oil is used predominantly in flavor compositions.
