Cinnamaldehyde (Cinnamon Aldehyde)
B2B ingredient for professional formulation evaluation.
Cinnamaldehyde (cinnamic aldehyde) is the principal aromatic constituent of cassia oil (75-90%) and cinnamon bark oil (60-75%), responsible for their characteristic warm, spicy, cinnamon-like aroma. As a purified natural isolate, cinnamaldehyde is a pale yellow to yellow-green liquid with an intensely warm, sweet-spicy, cinnamon odor and a burning, aromatic taste. Fresure supplies both natural (ex-cassia) and synthetic cinnamaldehyde with batch-specific purity verification.

GRAS flavoring substance (FEMA GRAS 2286). Primary flavoring agent for cinnamon and cassia profiles in confectionery (hard candies, chewing gum), baked goods (cinnamon rolls, cookies, pastries), beverages (cola, spiced tea, liqueurs), and processed foods. Also used in savory spice blends for meat products and ethnic cuisines.
Warm, spicy note in oriental, amber, and gourmand fragrance compositions. Used in perfumes, colognes, scented candles, potpourri, air fresheners, and holiday-themed consumer products. Provides excellent fixation and long-lasting spicy warmth. Often combined with vanilla, clove, and nutmeg for 'holiday spice' profiles.

Custom packaging and private labeling available upon request.
Store in tightly sealed, full containers in a cool, dry place protected from light. Cinnamaldehyde is air-sensitive and oxidizes to cinnamic acid upon prolonged air exposure; minimize headspace and blanket with nitrogen for long-term storage. Shelf life: 2 years under recommended conditions.
Under recommended storage conditions — tightly sealed in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight — Cinnamaldehyde remains stable for 2 to 3 years. Monitor for any changes in aroma, color, or viscosity before use in production batches.
