Cinnamaldehyde is used as an antifungal agent and preservative of food, and also can change the taste to stimulate consumption.

 

4. Application in the chemical field

(1) Used in the synthesis of α-bromocinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, cinnamyl alcohol, cinnamonitrile, and other products.

2）It can also be used as a color developer.

3）It is used as an insecticide, mosquito repellent, refrigerator deodorant, freshness preservative, etc.

4）Cinnamaldehyde can also be used as algaecide and acidification corrosion inhibitor in oil extraction, which can significantly increase oil production, improve oil quality and reduce production cost.

(5) Chewing gum containing cinnamaldehyde and other active plant extracts can be used as functional health food.

(6) Cinnamaldehyde is used as a bird repellent colloid.

Where Do Synthetic Fragrances Come From?

Fragrance formulation was revolutionized with the advent of  synthetic fragrances . Based on analytical studies of the composition and structure of essential oils and the serendipitous results of organic chemistry research, the 1860s brought the ability to artificially replicate molecules. Initially, fragrances such as musk or vanilla were several times more valuable than the synthetic fragrances of today. Often, this would lead to adulteration of these natural ingredients, with suppliers diluting their oils and cutting them with various substances, thus creating instability and inconsistency in the perfume. Thus, the advent of synthetics has provided a reliable and easily accessible way to capture these coveted aromas.  What are synthetic flavors? Synthetic fragrances contain chemicals of artificial rather than natural origin. In contrast, natural flavors are natural fragrances that contain only botanical ingredients.
