Description

trans-Cinnamaldehyde is a naturally occurring organic compound that serves as the primary constituent of cinnamon bark oil, imparting its characteristic warm, spicy aroma and flavor. This versatile aldehyde is prized for its dual functionality as a key flavor and fragrance ingredient and as a valuable intermediate in fine chemical synthesis. It is essential for manufacturers in the flavor & fragrance, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries seeking a reliable, high-purity source for product formulation and research.

Application

• Flavor & Fragrance Formulation: A primary component in creating cinnamon, spicy, and balsamic notes for perfumes, cosmetics, soaps, and air fresheners.
• Food & Beverage Industry: Used as a natural flavoring agent in confectionery, baked goods, chewing gum, and beverages to provide a warm, sweet cinnamon taste.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a crucial building block in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Utilized as a precursor in the manufacturing of certain pesticides and fungicides.
• Antimicrobial Agent: Exhibits natural antimicrobial and antifungal properties, finding use in research and development for preservative systems.
• Organic Synthesis: A valuable reagent in organic chemistry for aldol condensations and the synthesis of cinnamic acid derivatives.

Quality Control

Our trans-Cinnamaldehyde is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We offer grades suitable for various industrial applications, with specifications meeting relevant standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and other critical parameters are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., under nitrogen) is recommended. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents.
