Cinnamon oil(CAS#8007-80-5) Introduction
Properties
It is a volatile oil, a clear liquid ranging from yellow to reddish-brown in color, with the characteristic pungent, warm-sweet fragrance of Chinese cinnamon. It initially has a sweet taste, followed by a spicy flavor. When left for a long time or exposed to air, cinnamon oil gradually oxidizes into a dark brown viscous liquid. It is soluble in ethanol and glacial acetic acid, but insoluble in glycerin and mineral oil.
Preparation
The fresh branches, leaves, stems, and bark of the Chinese cinnamon tree (from the Lamiaceae family) are used as raw materials. The oil is extracted using steam distillation and further refined by fumigation. Because the relative density of cinnamon oil is greater than 1, when the distilled liquid separates, the oil sinks to the bottom of the water, making oil and water separation difficult and often producing a milky liquid. Therefore, demulsification techniques are required to improve oil yield.
Uses
It can be used for flavoring in tobacco, beverages, alcohol, and toothpaste. It can also be used in certain soaps and incense perfumes. Cinnamon aldehyde can be isolated from the oil and further used to synthesize various fragrances such as cinnamyl alcohol and cinnamate esters.
