About Product

Cinnamon oil exhibits a light yellow to reddish brown coloration and is an extract from the highly aromatic spice that has a pleasantly sweet, warm, and slightly bitter flavor laden with volatile oils and fixed oil resins. This potent spice has been widely used in medicine for millennia—and it still finds relevance today. Cinnamon was one of the priciest spices in ancient times, adorned with tales of immense historical significance and voyages by explorers like Vasco da Gama and Columbus who traversed the globe looking for it. Moreover, cinnamon consists of polyphenolic polymers, which researchers claim offer unparalleled antioxidant protective properties.

The main components in Cinnamon are the terpenoids Cinnamaldehyde & Eugenol, which impart a powerful flavor along with potent antifungal and anti-allergenic properties. The other components, which vary depending on the part of cinnamon from which they are extracted, may include trans-cinnamaldehyde, procyanidins (α, β), catechins, cinnamyl acetate, L-borneol, caryophyllene oxide, β-caryophyllene, L-bornyl acetate, nerolidol, cubebene, terpineol, terpinolene, bergamotene, and copaene. The sweet taste of cinnamon is due to the presence of cinnamaldehyde.

Cinnamon oil is majorly applied in culinary fields as a concentrated flavoring for canned products or processed foods and liquid seasonings such as soups. It is widely used as food preservatives in meat processing as well as in pickles, sauces like chutneys and ketchups because phenols in cinnamon inhibit bacteria growth and agents offer remarkable preservative qualities. Cinnamon oil is also common in cosmetics preparations because it effectively removes skin blemishes. It acts as a powerful antioxidant aiding insulin action for treating diabetes. Methoxy hydroxy chalcone polymer that controls blood glucose levels along with its blood-thinning properties makes it exceptionally useful for diabetics.
