Cinnamic Aldehyde: Nature's Aromatic Treasure
What is Cinnamic Aldehyde?
Cinnam aldehyde is an aldehyde-like organic compound, a yellow, viscous liquid, found in abundance in plants such as cinnamon. Naturally occurring cinnamaldehyde is always in the trans form, consisting of an acrolein linked to a phenyl group, and can therefore be considered an acrolein derivative. Cinnamaldehyde's color is due to a π→π* transition, and the presence of this conjugated structure allows its absorption spectrum to enter the visible light range.

Source and Extraction
Our Cinnamic Aldehyde is primarily sourced from the Cinnamomum cassia tree, native to southern China. We employ a sophisticated steam distillation process to extract the compound from the tree's bark. This method ensures that we capture the purest form of Cinnamic Aldehyde without compromising its integrity.
Components
Chemically, Cinnamic Aldehyde (C9H8O) is an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde. Its molecular structure consists of a benzene ring attached to an unsaturated aldehyde group. This unique composition contributes to its powerful aromatic properties and versatile applications.
Functional Characteristics
Cinnamic Aldehyde boasts several remarkable features:
Potent aroma: It delivers a warm, sweet, and spicy scent reminiscent of cinnamon.
Antimicrobial properties: Studies have shown its effectiveness against various bacteria and fungi.
Antioxidant activity: It helps protect against oxidative stress in formulations.
Flavor enhancement: Even in small quantities, it can significantly boost flavor profiles.
Production Process
Our production of Cinnamic Aldehyde follows a meticulous process:
Raw material selection: We source high-quality cinnamon bark from sustainable suppliers.
Preparation: The bark is cleaned and ground to increase surface area for extraction.
Steam distillation: This gentle method preserves the compound's natural properties.
Condensation and separation: The extracted oil is carefully separated from water.
Purification: Advanced techniques remove any impurities, ensuring high purity.
Quality control: Rigorous testing guarantees that each batch meets our strict standards.
Packaging: The final product is carefully packaged to maintain its quality during storage and transport.
Cinnamic Aldehyde Functions
Cinnamic Aldehyde offers a wide array of functions that make it indispensable in various industries:
Bactericidal, Disinfectant, and Preservative: Cinnamic Aldehyde has inhibitory effects on Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus albus, Shigella dysenteriae, Bacillus typhi and paratyphi A, Pneumococcus, Bacillus aeruginosa, Proteus, Bacillus anthracis, Salmonella enteritidis, and Vibrio cholerae. It also has significant antifungal effects. Studies on the antifungal effects of cinnamaldehyde against 22 opportunistic fungi have shown that cinnamaldehyde is an active antifungal substance, primarily by destroying fungal cell walls, allowing the drug to penetrate into fungal cells and destroying organelles, thereby exerting its bactericidal effect.
Ant-ulcer: It inhibits ulcer-causing factors, strengthens defense factors, and protects the gastric mucosa. It is used to treat stomachache, flatulence, and colic, and has significant stomachic and carminative effects.
Lipolysis: It inhibits the release of fatty acids by adrenaline and ACTH, promoting the synthesis of glucose into fat. It can be used in blood sugar control medications to enhance the glucose-displacing capacity of insulin, preventing and treating diabetes.
Promotes Blood Circulation: It stimulates blood circulation, warms the skin, and tightens skin tissue. It softens and removes skin blemishes and fibroids, has an antithrombin effect, and has sedative, analgesic, antipyretic, and anticonvulsant properties.
Antioxidant: It possesses powerful antioxidant properties, significantly helping to protect against cellular oxidative damage caused by free radicals.
Regulates Blood Sugar: It can promote insulin release and lower blood sugar levels, making it useful for patients with unstable blood sugar levels and diabetes.
Prevents Cerebral Thrombosis: It can also prevent cerebral thrombosis by improving blood circulation and promoting vasodilation.
Feed Additive: It acts as an antiseptic, antibacterial, and antiviral agent in feed. It stimulates the intestinal villi, improving the digestive system of livestock and poultry, strengthening their physique and promoting growth. It is particularly effective in preventing diarrhea in piglets, which often have limited digestive function. Cinnamaldehyde itself is a spice that improves the taste of feed and encourages livestock and poultry to eat.
