Natural cinnamon essential oil
Natural cinnamon essential oil is obtained from bark of cinnamomum tree by means of distillation with water steam. The oil contains about 55% of cinnamaldehyde and up to 18% of eugenol. The majority of aldehyde becomes oxidized and creates cinnamon acid. Apart from aldehyde the oils contain many other compounds which influence taste and fragrance e.g. methyl n-amyl ketone, furfural, L-α-pinene, L-phellandrene, p-cymene, benzaldehyde, nonyl aldehyde, phenolpropyl aldehyde (hydrocinnamic), cuminic aldehyde, L-linalool, eugenol and caryophyllene. Cinnamon oil is one of the strongest natural anti-septics. It has strong warming and tensing properties and it is a valuable ingredient of antirheumatic and anti-wart preparations.
