| | 471. Cinnamaldehyde (WHO Food Additives Series 14) |
 | | CINNAMALDEHYDE Explanation Cinnamaldehyde was reviewed at the eleventh meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives, specifications were prepared, and a conditional acceptable daily intake for man (ADI) of 0-1.25 mg/kg bw was established (FAO/WHO, 1967; FAO/WHO, 1968). |
 | | Since cinnamaldehyde is oxidized in vivo to cinnamic acid (Friedman & Mai, 1931; F.E.M.A., 1978), a consideration of the data on the toxicity and metabolism of cinnamic acid is pertinent to the evaluation of cinnamaldehyde. |
 | | Intravenous administration of 2.7-44.4 mg/kg cinnamaldehyde to dogs invoked, primarily, a depressor response exhibiting an initial significant sharp fall in blood pressure for a short period. |
