Cinnamic aldehyde Usage And Synthesis

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.
Taste threshold values	Taste characteristics at 0.5 ppm: spicy, cinnamon and cinnamon bark.
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. LD50 value, oral (guinea pigs): 1150 mg/kg Cinnamaldehyde is a mutagen. Its carcinogeniceffect is not established.
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.
Trade name	ADIOS®; ZIMTALDEHYDE®; ZIMTALDEHYDE® LIGHT
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.
Waste Disposal	Incineration. In accordance with 40CFR165, follow recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and pesticide containers.
