General description

Cinnamaldehyde is an α,β-unsaturated aromatic aldehyde that can be used as a flavoring agent. It is the principal flavor component of cinnamon oil.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives. This product is a Biobased products, showing key improvements in Green Chemistry Principles “Less Hazardous Chemical Syntheses” and “Use of Renewable Feedstock”.

Application


  • Preparation and sustained-release of chitosan-alginate bilayer microcapsules containing aromatic compounds with different functional groups.: This research discusses the development of chitosan-alginate bilayer microcapsules for the sustained release of aromatic compounds, including cinnamaldehyde, highlighting their potential applications in biochemistry and drug delivery (Wang et al., 2024).

  • Evaluation of Antimicrobial and Preservative Effects of Cinnamaldehyde and Clove Oil in Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) Fillets Stored at 4 °C.: This study evaluates the antimicrobial and preservative effects of cinnamaldehyde in combination with clove oil on catfish fillets, indicating its potential for food preservation applications (Ebirim and Long, 2024).

  • Hyaluronic acid-based multifunctional bio-active coating integrated with cinnamaldehyde/hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex for fruit preservation.: This research presents a hyaluronic acid-based bio-active coating incorporating cinnamaldehyde for fruit preservation, demonstrating its potential in extending the shelf life of perishable goods (Zhou et al., 2024).

Questions

1–5 of 5 Questions  

  1. How many grams are in the sample size?

    1 answer

    1. The SAMPLE-K quantities vary from product to product and lot to lot. There is no established quantity assigned. These are typically gram quantities intended for use in formulation evaluation, however, some more expensive compounds may contain smaller amounts.

      For more information, we kindly ask you to navigate to the link https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/techservice, click on "Product Technical Inquires" under the Products Section with all the required information so that a member of our team can reach out to you to assist further. Thank you.

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  3. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
