Uses:
One: Application of cinnamaldehyde in medicine
1.Bactericidal disinfection and antisepsis, especially has the remarkable curative effect to fungus.
2.Anti - ulcer, strengthen the stomach, intestinal movement.
3.Fat Decomposition.
4.Antiviral effect.
5.Dilation of blood vessels and antihypertensive effect.
6.It is often used in external medicine and synthetic medicine.
Two: Application of cinnamaldehyde in chemical industry
1. Organic chemical synthesis. Used for synthesis of cinnamaldehyde, cinnamic acid, cinnamic alcohol, cinnamonitrile and other products.
2. In industry, it can also be made into color reagent, experimental reagent.
3. Insecticide, mosquito repellent, refrigerator deodorant, preservative, etc.
Three: The application in essence fragrance
Cinnamaldehyde, as an aromatic compound of hydroxyl acids, has a good role in holding incense. It is used as a raw material in flavoring to make the main aroma more fragrant. Because its boiling point is higher than other organics with similar substructure, it is often used as a deodorant. Often used for soap flavor, modulation gardenia, jasmine, lily of the valley, rose and other flavor, in food flavor can be used for apple, cherry, fruit flavor.
Four.Application in feed
Cinnamaldehyde is different from other growth promoters in that it can actually increase the amount of nitrogen stored in animals in the feed (about 7%). Nitrogen is the main component of synthetic animal muscle cells, so it has a positive effect on the improvement of carcass quality.
Five.Application in anticorrosion
After being soaked in cinnamaldehyde solution, the betel nut can be sold in the open air without any packaging. As a preservative, cinnamaldehyde not only greatly extends the shelf life, but also degrades into the nutrients needed by human body in the intestines after entering human body, which is harmless and beneficial to human body. Cinnamaldehyde can not only enhance the medicinal effect of betel nut, make betel nut more pure, its characteristic cinnamon flavor, and can improve the taste of betel nut.
Remarks: The company also produces cinnamaldehyde series products: cinnamic acid, cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, methyl cinnamate, ethyl cinnamate and other cinnamon systems, which can meet the requirements of various indicators.
