  Cinnamaldehyde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Concentrated cinnamaldehyde is a skin irritant, and the chemical is toxic in large doses, but no agencies suspect the compound is a carcinogen or poses a long-term health hazard.
Cinnamaldehyde is technically trans-cinnamaldehyde because the terminal carbonyl is on the opposite side of the arromatic ring over the rigid double bond.
Cinnamaldehyde is also known as a corrosion inhibitor for steel and other ferrous alloys in corrosive fluids.

 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.

 NTP: Executive Summary Cinnamaldehyde: Toxicological Effects
Cinnamaldehyde reportedly caused the highest number of positive responses among the male miners and the male non-miners tested; 14 of the miners and 7 of the non-miners developing positive patch test results after 96 hours.
Cinnamaldehyde induced 222 revertants at 0.5 mg/plate as compared to 146 in the control plates and 318 revertants (139 in the control) at 0.1 mg/plate in strain TA100 with and without metabolic activation, respectively (see Figure 1).
Cinnamaldehyde was not found to affect body weight gain, reproductive ability, or the development and viability of offspring following administration of 2 mg on alternate days to two generations of rats for 223 and 210 days respectively [56].

 CINNAMALDEHYDE (3-PHENYL-2-PROPENAL)
Cinnamaldehyde is obtained from the distillation with steam from the leaves and twigs of Cinnamomum.

 cinnamaldehyde Pesticide Petition Filing 8/98
Cinnamaldehyde is classified as a GRAS substance for use as a flavoring agent on food (21 CFR 182.60) and was recently exempt from the requirement of a tolerance on mushrooms in response to an IR-4 petition (40 CFR 180.1156).
Cinnamaldehyde residues in drinking water are expected to be minimal due to its low application rate and its expected rapid biodegradation in soil.
Cinnamaldehyde is applied at low rates and with its proven low toxicity and its history of safe use, it does not pose a safety concern.

Cinnamaldehyde is the major constituent and it is used mainly for flavouring cola-type drinks, with smaller amounts used in bakery products, sauces, confectionery and liqueurs.
Another constituent of the oil which contributes to its aromatic character is cinnamaldehyde and for Sri Lankan oil a maximum level of 5 percent is specified.
For cassia oil, cinnamaldehyde is the major constituent and a minimum content of 80 percent is specified in the ISO standard.

 EPA: Cinnamaldehyde (040506) Fact Sheet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Cinnamaldehyde (cinnamic aldehyde) is the main component in cassia oil as well as cinnamon bark oil and is used in flavoring compounds to impart a cinnamon flavor.
Cinnamaldehyde is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the Flavoring Extract Manufacturers' Association and is approved for food use (21 CFR 182.60) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Because Cinnamaldehyde is not soluble in water and rapidly degraded in the soil it is not expected to pose any hazard to non-target organisms.

 Cinnamon oil kills mosquitoes
Other common essential oils, such as catnip, have shown similar promise in fighting off mosquitoes, but this is the first time researchers have demonstrated cinnamon’s potential as a safe and effective pesticide, according to Chang.
Cinnamaldehyde is the main constituent in cinnamon leaf oil and is used worldwide as a food additive and flavoring agent.
Bark oil from the Cinnamomum cassia tree is the most common source of cinnamaldehyde, but the tree used in this study — indigenous cinnamon, or Cinnamomum osmophloeum — has been of interest to researchers because the constituents of its leaf oil are similar to those of C. cassia bark oil.

 How safe is cinnamon spice?
In addition, cinnamaldehyde is used as a preservative for herbal remedies, and people of Middle Eastern origin use cinnamon sticks - whole pieces of bark from cinnamon trees in Sri Lanka - to flavor their tea.
Cinnamaldehyde is now one of many flavoring agents under review by the European Union's Scientific Committee on Food, which is responsible for advising the new European Food Safety Authority.
Ironically, the toxic effects of cinnamaldehyde appear to be due to its ability to bind directly to aldehyde dehydrogenase, the enzyme needed for its destruction.

The skin sensitization frequently reported for cinnamaldehyde is probably initiated by reaction of the aldehyde functional group with amino groups on proteins.
Alpha-substituted cinnamaldehydes, to which skin sensitization is uncommon, react very slowly or not at all with amines in comparison with cinnamaldehyde.
Some cinnamaldehyde becomes incorporated into lignin but cinnamaldehyde (either free or as glycosides) also accumulates to above-normal levels, particularly at times when the biosynthesis of cinnamic acid is elevated.

Cinnamaldehyde is also minimally toxic via the inhalation route, since the LC50 is greater than 2.09 mg/L. Cinnamaldehyde is a mild skin and eye irritant.
Cinnamaldehyde residues in drinking water are expected to be minimal due to its low application rate, expected rapid [[Page 7803]] biodegradation in soil, and its insolubility in water.
Cinnamaldehyde (3-phenyl-2-propenal) is exempted from the requirement of a tolerance in or on all food commodities, when used as a fungicide, insecticide, and algaecide in accordance with good agricultual practices.

 cinnamon some questions discussed2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
There was a certain degree of cross-reactivity between cinnamald hyde, cinnamyl alcohol and cinnamic acid as animals sensitised to cinnamald hyde reacted to the challenge with the three substances.
Compared to the challenge concentration for cinnamaldehyde, approximately a 15 times higher concentration of cinnamyl alcohol and a 25 times higher concentration of cinnamic acid were required to give positive reactions in animals sensitised to cinnamaldehyde.
The study suggests that cinnamaldehyde is the "true" allergen, while cinnamyl alcohol and cinnamic acid are transformed in the skin to cinnamaldehyde, before contact allergic reactions can occur.

My basic method is that I introduce a small quantity of cinnamaldehyde, 10uls into an empty vial, sample and record peak area.
What has happened recently is that I notice a large increase, almost double, in cinnamaldehyde peak area for the mineral sample relative to 10uls neat in vial.
Either, being dispersed on the mineral, the cinnamaldehyde has more surface area exposed to the headspace, and this results in increased concentration.

The catalytic properties of the catalysts were studied in cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation.
Palladium catalysts were more active than ruthenium and platinum catalysts, and the palladium catalysts prepared by ALE showed the highest initial activity in cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation because of the small particle size of metals obtained by ALE.
The adsorption of cinnamaldehyde was preferably via the C=C bond on palladium catalysts, via the C=C and C=O bonds on ruthenium and via the C=O bond on platinum catalysts.

They hydrogenation, employing hydrogen gas, of cinnamaldehyde was performed using Pd-fl and Raney Ni catalysis at 298 K in a water-cooled (jacketed) reaction vessel.
A kinetic modeling of the data revealed that cinnamaldehyde was both hydrogenated to the final product benzene propanal, as well as a fraction being converted to the intermediate benzene propanal, where the latter was subsequently hydrogenated to benzene propanal.
Comparing the ultrasound-assisted and blank (stirred) experiments revealed that a higher maximum relative concentration of intermediate benzene propanal was formed in the ultrasound experiments compared to the stirred experiment.
