| | Cassia oil Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Extracted by steam distillation of leaves
from Cinnamomum zeylanicum Nees. Light to dark
brown liquid; spicy cinnamon, clove odor, and taste.
Sol in fixed oils, propylene glycol, mineral oil; insol
in glycerin. | | Chemical Properties | Cinnamon bark oil (Sri Lanka) is obtained by steam distillation of the dried
bark of the cinnamon tree. The oil is produced in Sri Lanka in a quantity of
～10 t/yr. It is a yellow liquid with the odor and burned, spicy taste of cinnamon.
The main constituent is cinnamaldehyde.
d2525 1.010–1.030; n20D 1.5730–1.5910; α20D ?2 ° to 0 °; aldehyde content (calculated
as cinnamaldehyde): 55–78%; solubility: 1 vol in at least 3 vol of 70% ethanol.
