|
Toxicity |
LD50 in rats (mg/kg): 2220 orally (Jenner) |
|
Uses |
Cinnamaldehyde is used in flavor and perfumes.It occurs in cinnamon oils. |
|
Uses |
In the flavor and perfume industry. |
|
Aroma threshold values |
Detection at 50 to 750 ppb. |

General Description |
Yellow oily liquid with a cinnamon odor and sweet taste. |
|
Air & Water Reactions |
Thickens on exposure to air. May be unstable to prolonged exposure to air. Slightly water soluble . |
|
Reactivity Profile |
Cinnamaldehyde reacts with sodium hydroxide owing to aerobic oxidation. |
|
Health Hazard |
Cinnamaldehyde can
cause moderate to severeskin irritation. Exposure to 40 mg in48 hours
produced a severe irritation effecton human skin. The toxicity of this
compoundwas low to moderate on test subjects,depending on the species and the
toxicroutes. However, when given by oral routein large amounts, its poisoning
effect wassevere. Amounts greater than 1500 mg/kghave produced a wide range
of toxic effectsin rats, mice, and guinea pigs. The symptomswere respiratory
stimulation, somnolence,convulsion, ataxia, coma, hypermotility, anddiarrhea. |
|
Fire Hazard |
Cinnamaldehyde is combustible. |
|
Agricultural Uses |
Fungicide, Insecticide: Used as an antifungal agent, corn rootworm attractant, and dog and cat repellent. Can be used on soil casing for mushrooms, row crops, turf and all food commodities. Not listed for use in EU countries. |

|
Contact allergens |
This perfumed molecule is used as a fragrance in perfumes, a flavoring agent in soft drinks, ice creams, dentifrices, pastries, chewing-gum, etc. It can induce both contact urticaria and delayed-type reactions. It can be responsible for dermatitis in the perfume industry or in food handlers. Cinnamic aldehyde is contained in “fragrance mix.” As a fragrance allergen, it has to be mentioned by name in cosmetics within the EU. |
