Chemical Properties |
clear colorless to pale yellowish liquid |
Chemical Properties |
Cinnamyl acetate has a characteristic balsamic-floral odor and burning, sweet taste reminiscent of pineapple. The ester obtained from natural cinnamyl alcohol exhibits a more delicate (hyacinth–jasmine-like) note. |
Uses |
Perfumery (fixative), flavoring. |
Definition |
ChEBI: An acetate ester resulting from the formal condensation of cinnamyl alcohol with acetic acid. Found in cinnamon leaf oil. |
Taste threshold values |
Taste characteristics at 15 ppm: sweet, spicy, floral, cinnamon and honey with a tutti-fruitti nuance. |
Safety Profile |
Moderately toxic by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. A skin irritant. Combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and fumes. See also ALLYL COMPOUNDS. |
